Review: KTOWN4U
August 01, 2020
Hi lazies! It’s been years since I pre-ordered an album on a Korean site. Today I’m gonna do a review with Ktown4u since it’s my first time to order here. Okay, let’s start!
I created an account beforehand on Ktown4u last July 2. And on the same day I pre-ordered an album which is ‘Monster’ of Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi.
I received an email for confirmation of my sign up on the site.
I also received an email about my order and another email for the payment.
July 7 was the release of the first mini album of Irene & Seulgi. There are 2 versions (at that time) the top note and the middle note. But I opted to pre-order only the top version since I like black. The price of the album was normally $16.64 on normal Ktown4u site but I got a chance to pre-ordered mine on 40% discount given by the reveluvunion on Ktown4u which priced only for $11.80.
Days passed but my album was still on preparing item but for the poster, it was ready to ship.
So I decided to chat the CS support of Ktown4u on why my pre-ordered album was still preparing even though it was passed the day of release.
It was July 9 when I messaged them and this was the reply that I got.
So I didn’t bother to check to status for a week I think? Hahahaha! It was July 18 when I visit the site again to check the status of my order. I was surprised when I saw the status of my order changed to ready to ship.
I waited for days again since it was weekend so I checked the site again on July 21 and I’m so happy that the status was already changed from ‘ready to ship’ to ‘shipped out’. Actually I also received an email about it together with the tracking details.
July 22 the package arrived in PH based on the tracking site they provided. UPS was so fast indeed but since it was a fast shipment the price will be higher than the others.
So here are the photos I took by the time I got my package:
Here's the timeline of my order:
Order placed: July 2, 2020
Confirmed payment made: July 2, 2020
Parcel shipped from Korea: July 21, 2020 (since there is a delay about the stock of the albums in ktown4u because of SM ã… ã… )
Parcel arrived in Philippines (UPS office Pampanga): July 22, 2020
Delivered to our house: July 23, 2020
Wow! Fastest delivery that I encountered other than EMS. Since EMS was still a hassle for me since I always get my package from post office and pay for 112php but for UPS, they deliver it right to our doorstep with no other fees. Wow! 5 stars for that!
*Hope this can help you to decide ordering to an online korean shop. And also please visit my review on Gmarket here: https://thelazyorlov.blogspot.com/2018/03/review-gmarket-minishop-synnara.html?m=1

Review: Luxe Organix Hydro Firming Mist
May 22, 2020
Hope this blog will help you to decide on which facial mist will give you the glowing look that you've been looking for.
I already tried the hydro firming mist and rosewater glow mist. For the hydro firming mist, I really like the smell, it's like the breeze on the ocean and for the rosewater glow it gives you the feeling that you are in a spa. So far I manage to finished two (2) bottles of hydro firming mist, you see that I really like it and sooner or later I will purchase the green one which is skin mattifying mist to be able to test it out on my face.
Luxe Organix facial mist comes in 3 variants:
Skin Mattifying Mist

They come up with an amazing product by the use of the ingredients indicated below.

Some of the details of the product are written at the back of the bottle together with the list of important things that the mist have.

Hydro Firming Mist gives me a dewy finished looked every time I used it. This mist will be my ultimate favorite among the three (3) but we'll never know until I try the last one which is the skin mattifying mist.
Ratings: 5/5 stars

Review: Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control
April 11, 2018
IT'S THE NEW IN
I tried to seek different kind of brands that has a cushion in their make-up line. Upon reading different reviews and opinions, I finally found the one that even brought tears to my eyes (just kidding!).
I really love this and it hides all the flaws that I have on my face. It also brightens my skin when I'm using it.
THE ONE
Presenting.. one of the BB cushion of Laneige:
I bought mine at Althea Korea ( a trusted korean online store that comes with free shipping if you reach their minimum amount of order. If you want, you can check my review about the shop: Althea Korea). Their price is very affordable and you will not even regret buying the cushion.
Here's the detailed information about the BB cushion,
This are all the ingredients that the Laneige BB cushion have,
Here's the detailed information about the BB cushion,
As you can see, it comes with a simple yet elegant packaging.
How to use: Pop open the cushion and pick up product with the puff provided, then blend onto the skin for desired coverage.
There are many shades that you can choose from.
I bought the shade of 23N Sand Beige and the shade that I've chosen really suits my skin well. It really brightens and smoothens my skin every time I apply it on my face.
If you want to have one, you can buy it here.

What I like?
What I like?
- It really illuminates my skin well
- Long lasting effect for a BB cushion
- Smooth and full coverage when applied and even hide your flaws on your face
- It also smells good and not to harsh
Although it gives full coverage on my face, I really get some acne break-outs when using this cushion. But the break-outs doesn't stay for that long so I always continue using it.
Will I repurchase?
I think I'll just need to consume that one spare that I still have.
Will I recommend?
Yes if you doesn't have a sensitive type of skin, this will be perfect for you!

Hi everyone, this will be my very first entry review for a korean product.
Wow! Finally I finished writing this up.
Wow! Finally I finished writing this up.
Must I say? Omona! Omygod! I’m sorry for that expression. It's just because I’m just currently listening to Mixnine’s OMG song. It’s on repeat by the way. Try listening too, the song’s too good! :D
Enough of that. Let’s move on to what’s my currently favorite mist.
Here's the ingredients used in the mist:
I personally tried and tested this one literally helps you to hydrate and even moisturize your face from being dry. Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% soothing gel mist have a nice scent, not too strong but it smells somehow like a man’s scent, just a little.
The other product details are written at the back of the bottle, together with the list of important information that the mist have.
Size: 150ml
How to use: Spritz onto face anytime you feel dryness and just allow it to dry.
It gives you dewy and refreshing mood. It also smoothens your face. After you spray some on your face it makes you want to spray it again even more. It comes in a simple packaging. It also says that it is sourced from California, the aloe vera used is CCOF-certified organic, and helps to improve the health of the skin.
I really like the feeling of having smooth face after the mist dries on my face.
So I used it as in everyday, when my face started to feel dry like a dessert island.
I tried to spray a little on my hand, it look likes sticky but when you look at it, it really doesn’t give you sticky feeling at all. Weird right? But that’s how it works. Two thumbs up for this product indeed.

Seriously, this mist is so beyond perfect that I can’t find anything to dislike about it.
Will I repurchase?
Definitely yes! This will be totally my mist this summer.
Will I recommend?
Yes! Try to buy this Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% soothing gel mist if you are looking for a good type of mist in this summer season. The price is very affordable too.

Review: GMARKET (minishop: Synnara)
March 14, 2018
This is my very first review to an online shop which is Gmarket Global (Korean Site similar to eBay Korea i think). So please bear with me if I’m missing some details.
Let’s start.
08/04/17
I place my order on Synnara which is on Gmarket Global site (https://global.gmarket.co.kr/). I purchase BTS YOU NEVER WALK ALONE album.
It was my first time to order on Gmarket so i was worried if my order will get lost and not be shipped out to the right place (you know what it feels to order online, i somehow like ordering online but for this its a different feeling and i don’t know why tho)
I received an email the same day that my payment was successful.
08/08/17
The estimated weight for this package was 0.30 kg (₩8,120) but the actual weight was 0.75 kg (₩9,020) upon knowing that the weight of this is more than that of estimated weight, actually I don’t even pay for the remaining balance (i don’t know why) and later on,
I received an email that my order has been shipped out to the Philippines (so by reading the email it made me feel better)
Upon checking the status everyday actually I started it after the day it says that its been shipped out.
08/10/17
Morning of this day I checked the tracking status and it says there that it was unsuccessful delivery and it bothers me because I don’t know what to do about it.
I even tried to call the PhlPost about it but the lines are all busy. It really worries me so much because of the “unsuccesful” there.
Luckily, later that afternoon, I’m so happy because I received a text coming from the post office that my package was already there.
Trans: "Hi good afternoon, I'm from post office and you have a package here."
But I cannot make it that day because the office hours of the post office was only 8am-5pm. So I decided that I will get it on the next day.
I managed to go to the post office (08/11/17) to get my package. They said that I need to pay ₱112.00 (but seriously for what is that, you already pay for the international shipping fee and then this. SMH.) Okay after paying I signed on their book to know that I already got my package.
So here are the photos I took by the time I got my package:
Here's the timeline of my order:
Order placed: 4th August 2017
Confirmed payment made: 4th August 2017
Parcel shipped from Korea: 8th August 2017
Parcel arrived in Philippines (post office): 10th August 2017
It only took 6 days after I place my order to arrive. And it was one of the fastest shipment or rather delivery because my order comes from South Korea. (5 stars for Gmarket and also for Synnara for the fast transaction indeed)
On the side note:
I really hope next time it will arrive on my doorstep like please EMS. I’m begging you, it’s so much hassle and time consuming to go to the post office and also the fee that you need to settle.
*Hope this can help you to decide ordering to an online shop. It was fine as long as you stay calm on waiting for your package to arrive.

This are all my experience with Althea Korea and it never failed me.
They delivered the package much faster than to what I expected date of arrival to our house.
I would definitely order again soon. And all the items that I ordered from Althea was authentic.

PS: Every time I do review blog, I’m only using photo instructions rather than explaining more about how I come up with my order. My sincere apology for that. Next time I will do better for my future blogs. (I think I should be more talkative so that I would end up good write-ups with my blogs) *facepalm*
Thank you for reading my blog! If you have inquiries or suggestions don't hesitate to make a comment.
