So far Gayo Daejun has been the best awards night so far this year. Best collaborations but camera sucks bigtime! I believe all fans are somewhat pissed off with the camera man. Are you?

Hello guys! How are you?

Tonight, I'll show you guys my recent haul which comprises of beauty and hair products. Most probably, my upcoming reviews will come from this post. I'm reviewing each product for about 2 weeks or more now. Personally, the main reason why it takes me time to make reviews is that I take time to review each products and try to make an honest review for each. I also think I'm not that good in writing what I think I am better in talking about it but I suck at videography so bare with me.

My Étude House haul was not expected, I mean it was not part of my budget but when I saw a post that they're having 20% less on all products, I grabbed the opportunity. I mean it's rare that all products are on sale. So some of the products I bought are not that needed much but as of the moment, I am happy that I made that purchase. As to why? Find out on my upcoming posts.

So these months I have been trying to find a good conditioner that would somehow revive my dead hair and make it a bit livelier (if possible) . I have a tried a couple I brands that promised or rather claimed that it will moisturize your hair more, it will revive your dead or dying hair but they failed in my opinion. Until I found this interesting conditioner while shopping at S&R. Now, what caught my attention was the label, it said that the conditioner contained Argan Oil.


What is Argan oil?

Argan oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa L.), endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties.

Benefits of Argan oil? 

Hair: Argan oil is a great product to calm frizzy ends, add moisture to dry hair as well as add a little shine. Apply to your hair while it is still damp for an all over treatment or apply just to your dry ends after your hair is dry.

Scalp: If you're dealing with dry scalp, apply some argan oil to a cotton ball and dab your scalp with the oil. If you do this before bed, you'll give the oil plenty of time to moisturize your scalp before you wash your hair in the morning.

Face: It might seem scary to apply a pure oil to your face, especially if you have finicky skin, but we have been doing just that and our skin is completely turning around. It's smooth, clear and radiant, all thanks to using argan oil as our daily morning moisturizer.

Body: You can use argan oil for a full body moisturizer, applying just as you would a body lotion or cream. Apply the oil right after you get out of your shower for best moisturizing results.

Hands: Argan oil is a great oil to use on your hands, especially on your cuticles and on your nails if they are prone to cracking and peeling.

One of my inspirations in life, Tricia Gosingtian has been raving about how Argan Oil saved her hair from total destruction, Read here. So I said why not? With its price, 150 and its imported from Canada, I felt it's worth investing. Also I loved the smell! It smells like powdery salon like smell. Now that's one heck of a smelly description! Lol.





Pros :
- smells good (powdery like smell)
- cheap (150php for 354ml)
- makes hair super fluffy after
- not tested on animals

Cons :
- imported (not all stores sell it)
- lid is annoying


Final Verdict : If given the chance for it to be available again, I would certainly but at least 3 bottles of it. But as of the moment, I can't find it in S&R anymore. It's that good since local conditioners now costs almost the same but without the argan oil goodness. According to the bottle, it's not only a conditioner but it is a hair treatment. Also, I wish the lid would be in pump form or in any form as long as they spit out more conditioner.It really really helped my hair look a bit healthy alongside with a hair make supplement I'm currently using that I will feature on my future post.

------
So I have a secret to tell you readers. If you want salon soft like hair for less than 10 minutes, then buy this product then add a handful of Silk Secrets Hot Oil. Let it sit on your hair for 5-10 minutes preferably with shower cap. Then viola! After rinsing your hair, I swear your hair would be soft, look and feel healthy.

What product should I feature next? Skincare? Hair care? Or makeup?
I would like to hear from you guys, silent readers are not appreciated. Also thank you guys for reading my blog.

*sorry for the inconsistency of the color because I need to use different lenses for the close up and the full shot. The shadows on the photo are somewhat inevitable due to the material used for the packaging.

안녕하새요, 여러분 EXO is BACK! with their repackaged album. Now it reminds me why I hate SMENT. Their artist are the queen and kings of repackage. YAY! for rich fans while NAY! for poor fans like me. (It's not really hate HATE but more of why didn't you guys just put it in one album, an expensive one then let the fans save for it then release it NOT producing affordable albums then repackage them.)

Sorry for the rant. I was pissed off the other day and it seems I am still pissed by the fact that my earphones broke. My Samsung one. I expected a lot from Samsung earphones considering it's Samsung but then again, we live in the real world, HELLO DISAPPOINTMENT!~

Moving on to the real topic,few hours ago, SM Ent released EXO's Growl MV. Rumors say that this was the dance version since their Practice video was 'leaked' last Saturday. I saw the practice video and I must agree all were the same, the only difference is they wore their uniform outfits. If you want to know where I saw the leaked version, just message me or comment below. 

Korean Version

So I have been sporting this bright hair color for almost a month now and I want to make a review about the hair color. Well, I used bubble hair color from Étude House, the golden blonde.


As a starter, it has been my 2nd time using the product but I have used the natural brown one for the former. The product is great for beginners and also for people who want to try different hair color. It is very easy to use and the colors are not that loud.

 

One of the most underrated group in Kpop made a comeback. Σ(▼□▼メ) I really believe they should win awards for this comeback because aside from their bruises and broken leg/s, they deserve it. They never  fail us to bring out their different sides; flirty, sexy and cute side. Not only they are sexy, pretty and talented but also hardworking. Even though some members have already graduated like Bekah and Kahi, it's still After School. Maybe someday their efforts will be rewarded, but as to when, that I do not know.

The new MV's concept is somewhat new and provocative to Korean market. It's already difficult to follow a dance routine how much more do pole dancing while following a routine. The girls have already amazed me with their Because of You single due to the message of the song but my mind was blown when they released the next song Bang. They learned how to use drums and I have read an article before that they practiced the choreography of Bang 1st before learning their Because of You routine, now that's what you call hardworking. I find their outfits for this video a bit to sexy but then again they can pull it off without being sleazy. So enjoy the video and let us support After School so they can get the attention and limelight they deserve. （＾＿－）≡★

New group in the house! Have you ever heard of Bangtan Boys? or Bulletproof Boy Scouts? or BTS?

Well, they're a rookie group from Big Hit Entertainment, a sister company of JYP ent. Also, they're labelmates with GLAM and 2AM. The members are 15-20 years of age and they are 7 in total named Rap Monster , Jin, SUGA, JungKook, Jimin, and J-HOPE, and  V.

Hi guys! I'm back but unfortunately or fortunately I'm here to write about Kpop, but I promise I'm working on a review but it seems I'm finding a hard time on how the layout should be. So sorry for that but for Kpop fans, rejoice! I'm here to feature 3 groups though I'll be writing them in different posts to be more organized. Ok enough blabbering.  ∩( ・ω・)∩

The 1st group I'm about to feature or talk about is Sistar and they're back with their 'Give It To Me' single which I find very sexy. Their concept is somewhat related to the circus x burlesque with the tall hats, suspended ring, staff and sexy shiny shimmery clothes. These girls never fail to amaze me with their versatility, they can do cute concepts like Shady Girl and Loving U and sexy ones like Give it to Me and Alone. Well for one even their sub unit Sistar 19 is successful. I hope that the 2 girls namely Dasom and Soyu would be given more lines, （；へ：） not that I hate Hyorin since I admire the girl's strong vocals but I just want the 2 girls be given the same limelight as Hyorin and Bora.

Ok enough with my thoughts about the group and enjoy their new song and I believe even girls would find them sexy. Hopefully their song would make it to top charts. It's not hard to get hooked with the song since it has a catchy tune.
ENJOY~!  (´ω｀★)

Hello guys! I know I have promised to update often since I don't have work anymore but still I don't know where to start. I have many products to review and many outfits that has been long forgotten. I'm really bad at keeping promises to you guys but thank you so much for still reading my past posts. I know I seldom post in this section of my blog but since I really like this group so much!~ second to BB of course. I present to you the 1st comeback of EXO.

Like really, EXOtics waited for more than half a year for this and I can say the wait was really worth it. I even pre ordered their album YES FOR THE FIRST TIME I CAN"T STOP MY FEELS. and YES OT12. Goodbye part of my savings!~ I will probably take some photos of the album and freebies right?

Anywho, moving on. I shall present to you guys the Wolf MV.

But first let me present the teasers:









and now I present the MV itself~ *drumroll*

Hello there! I know I have been busy to a point I don't have time to take photos any more. But instead of laziness kicking in this time I have a legitimate reason why I can't take HQ photos now and that is *drumroll please* WORK! yes I'm working now but not at my dad's company. Forgive me for the unannounced hiatus. Even checking my facebook everyday has been considered luxury for me nowadays. T.T I miss those times wherein I have the time to shoot any day. But since I purcahsed a new phone, I thought why not blog using my phone? I mean take better photos than my old crappy LG andriod phone but not HQ photos compared to Ran's (dslr). A so-so quality.

I think and believe blogging does not only mean you need to take best quality photos for readers to notice unless you're a photo blogger, but they also need a good input wherein they could learn things from you. They can see a part of you with the way you write, take photos and the way you carry yourself.

Hope I could keep this up and please if I have supporters or readers please keep on supporting me and I would love to hear from you guys, comments, emails, messages would make me feel a lot better.


So I guarantee you guys to expect more OOTD'S /mirrorshot and I'll be posting backlogs. But I you can view my recent photos via instagram (@cleabanal).

So goodbye and see you on my next post!

Neon: Something I thought I would never sport because I am more a floral, cutesy patootsie kind of girl. I like flashy accessories but not flashy clothes like this one. I thought neon would feel as if you are a walking traffic enforcer.No pun intended. Another thing about neon is that you need to tone down some of your clothes so that you would not appear as attention whore or what so I opted to pair them with all black ensemble. It is a safe choice since you can never go wrong with black. I feel black is my bestfriend in any occasion except for weddings. 

Hello! I know I have been uber lazy to post anything here on my blog. Too lazy to take OOTD so I'm back with a review. lol. It is an old product by Body Shop but I have only fell inlove with it recently. So inlove that lately that i don't use my lipsticks anymore but stick to this lip and cheek stain. Though I use it as lip stain only because I still have to finish my Clinique Blush Stick.Moving on, as you guys know I have been sporting the brunette look these past 2-3 months so I changed my whole make-up routine and decided to go back to my dark make-up days, heavy or smokey eyeliner + red lips. But I have to admit, I bought this tint because I was inspired by S.M the Performance make-up, Taemin, Lay and Kai looked so dark and sexy with smokey eye make-up and red natural lips.Ok, enough fangirling.
