Innisfree Green tea Deodorant review

Did someone say the best deodorant in the world?? Innisfree~~! Ok, that was cheesy...I must explain first though about how I don't really use much deodorant...the main reason is because I don't really smell bad so I only use it when I sweat in summer. That being said, it means that I have not tried many deodorants.

I got this bottle online quite a while ago and it is just amazing, the smell, the feel, the packaging and the spray quantity. So I'd definitely recommend this and I'm currently looking into buying it again just because its so refreshing and gentle on the skin. It doesn't really smell like green tea though, more like a generic floral scent but not sickeningly sweet as I find with other deodorants from non-asian brands. 
I've always been used to having deodorant in a slim and long aerosol tube but I've found that this packaging is a lot more convenient. For starters, it fits inside the regulated plastic bag for carry on luggage! And its not embarrassing to whip it out in public because it looks like a face mist or something similar. 

I can't give the nozzle enough credit for its simplistic and efficient design, the flat and large top makes it super easy and comfortable to press and the opening allows a very fine mist with a large coverage. 

I do apologize for having no idea whatsoever on the price of this product...because it was quite a while ago so...but I hope it hasn't been discontinued or anything because I need more of this stuff.

Hottest Asian Celebrities (my version :p)

Hahahahahaha I've always wanted to show off my harem *cough*imaginary*cough* of the hottest Asian stars. I'm a total fan of all Korean dramas and Kpop and selective Chinese dramas and music. 
The list is in no particular order (except for the best which I'll list last) so enjoy and hopefully catch a new bias or celeb crush. 

Just a disclaimer, This list is based on everything and NOT just facial appearances. I think celebrities who are talented, funny, filial, educated and/or has a charitable heart are wayyy more attractive than a swearing, drinking guy with the body of Tatum and the face of Crawford. So....with this being said, this list may not appeal to everyone... so...yeah ._. 

1.  Bii (1989) famous for singing the OST for the very popular Taiwanese drama 钟无艳. 
I like him for his unique voice which is soothing, penetrating but yet very powerful, he writes his own music in both Mandarin and Korean and he plays the guitar. Perfect! Make sure you listen to some of his most well known tracks 转身以后 and What can I do.
He was born in Korea to a Korean mother and a Taiwanese father. Though he has had a pretty harsh life from strict parenting, rebellion and social discrimination despite his young age.



 He's like a Hongki trapped inside a Yonghwa ._.


2. Eddie Peng (1982)
cute, smart, funny, kind. Fluent English, Awesome actor, University of British Columbia graduate. What more can I say? Oh. the Abs.
jokes, I have to write some more to show what a sensitive person I am lol, I like him best because of his attitude while interacting with people. I mean, what kind of celebrity would tirelessly help out at his sister's restaurant and dress up as Santa Claus to entertain cancer patients at a children's hospital on Christmas eve? Ahhhh so adorable, he's also one of the main endorsers of the cancer campaign Love Life. 

My favourite movie of him is Hear Me but the movie that gained him the most credit was Jump Ashin




3. Lee Hyun Woo (1993)
omgsh this guy is like a little ray of sunshine <3 soooo cute! And he's only 3 years older than me so.... hehe
loved him in God of Study, To the beautiful you and Gyebaek. His GD impersonation was also awesome. He's so polite and full of energy, always bringing smiles on and off screen.
I'd say he is one of the best child star of his generation, maybe second to Yoo seung ho (on acting ability)





4. MBLAQ's Cheondung (1990)
I normally don't really go for the ones without shining talents but Cheondung is an exception. He's just hot...and so innocent, quiet and kind hearted (I think) so.... besides, he has a cat and cat lovers are always patient. He has improved a lot in his self composed solo track Don't Go. 
His relationship with Dara is what raised his cuteness level for me, so sweet!



His body shape defines attractiveness *o*


6. Nicholas Tse (1980) 
He was actually the first celebrity I've ever liked, for his talent, persona, perseverance and other indescribable features that makes him...him. 
He's a singer turned actor and is more successful than ever. 
He totally rejected numerous Hollywood invitations with the excuse being his acting skills have not yet been perfected, but now being the youngest person to receive the Best Actor award in China, I'm definitely hoping he would branch out <3 
after all, He did guest judge ANTM with his sexy Canadian english.

His two sons are absolutely adorable (Lucas and Quantus)




It was so sad when they filed for divorce after all they've been through, it was kind of inevitable. Cecelia was  the actress I liked the most when I was younger so when they broke up...it was like love didn't exist any more ToT

She's still beautiful...


7. B1A4's hamBaro (1992)

He's the sprinting, laughing, eating, rapping AWESOME HAMSTER!!! 
super cool personality and generally a funny person. Best when served with SANDEUL
he has amazing rapping abilities so make sure you check out my post on their latest comeback, it has a link to the song~ He's a mini T.O.P minus the slight cockiness, double the potential. 




Loved him on variety shows, and who knew he could run so fast (beating Minho) despite being the member who eats the most.
I'm putting my odds in B1A4's favour in the increasingly competitive idol industry. Because Baro is their biggest asset hehe 



8. Lee Soo Hyuk (1988)

I have dedicated a blog entry to him entirely so I'm not gonna say much more here except that I'm just drawn in to his chic and sophisticated vibe. If Andrejc Pejic was a woman, they'd be the perfect match.  
If you get the chance, watch The boy from Ipanema or White Christmas because they're truly masterpieces. 




9, 10 Song Joong Ki (1985) & Ji Chang Wook  (1987)
I put them together as they're both actors who I've recently started liking. Joongki from Nice Guy and Sungkyunkwan Scandal. 
Changwook from Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Bachelors Vegetable Store and Five Fingers. I haven't seen any of their interviews or variety shows so I don't really know what they're like but from their works I was really enthralled by their acting abilities. If you're looking for good dramas to watch, I recommend all of the above. 

p.s why are all K-celebs so secretive!!! they never crack funny jokes or do anything unexpected... everyday its aegyo aegyo aegyo. urgh! but then again, American celebs are tooooo out there so I guess some sort of discipline is still good....refering to Snooki Lopez and Bynes

Joongki: 



And I heard he graduated from Sangkyunkwan so...beauty and brains?? Like...the korean (guy) Portman ._.

Changwook:

This guy has a face that naturally screams 'I'm gonna make your life hell' so I was quite happy when he escaped being cast as Kim Tak gu type characters to the more mature (and dark) In Ha in Five Fingers.


11. Luo Jin (1981)
So this guy, I don't know what is it about him but 90% of Chinese drama watchers love him. Even my friend who is so against liking celebrities other than ones from Taiwan is now super infatuated. 
The first time I saw him...all I could see was a person with really ugly lips... *slaps self* but the more I watch his dramas, the more I loved him~~ however cheesy this may sound...the emotions he show on screen trigger mine too...so influential. Anywayyy when he appears on talk shows he speaks in a dignified way with well structured sentences which was impressive too.




12. Jiang Jin Fu (1991)
hahahaha he's so stupid that its hilarious ;D, okay wait, that was a bit mean...He's the type of person who would pause (leaving the whole studio in silence) for 3 minutes thinking about a good response and still give the wrong one. His variety shows are so awkwardly funny and I'm 99% sure he doesn't do it on purpose. 
Aside from that, he's still a rookie so I'm admiring his humble nature and good work ethic. Hopefully it won't change. 



13. SJ's Yesung (1984)
Who could resist the socially awkward and turtle loving ballad prince Mr Kim, not me obviously.
For the longest time ever I thought he had the most amazing and tear triggering voice, and it still hasn't changed. My favourite song by him is no other than the popular 'It has to be you' which brought him a whole heap of followers with good taste in music. 
Aside from that, I love watching all of his variety shows as words cannot describe how dorky he is on camera which is such a stark contrast to his emotional ballad-singing self.
His self choreographed octopus dance is DAEBAK
Oh yeah I must mention how much I love his tiny hands LOLOLOLOL and the philtrum thing DOUBLE LOL






14. CN Blue's Lee Jungshin (1991)
He was the first one who caught my eye when I first got to know CNBLUE, I think it had something to do with his long hair, awkward height and below average looks...But now he has evolved into my bias ^ ^ The more I look at him, the hotter he is. I've been nurturing my inner ajjumma by watching My daughter Seoyoung just for Jungshin. However, his acting did prove to be a little disappointing but it has been improving so I'm not complaining. His height and body proportion is a large asset I'd say, since he's the only person I like without any solid reason. Maybe its because Yonghwa takes too much of the spotlight and I want to be a hipster by fangirling over the non mainstream. But there is definitely something about him (the artist vibe?) that is attractive.






15. William Chan (1985)
I don't really know much about his personal life except that he's dating the incredibly adorable Charlene, so since I'm a sucker for cute couples, he automatically earned my interest. I did see him in action from the movie Triad which I saw with a blood and gore loving friend. He watched the action, I spotted the hotties :D. On a proper note, William did perform extremely well and I was actually tempted to finish the movie even though I'm not even into the whole gangster thing. 
I love the way his eyebrows arch LOL he doesn't have typical Chinese features so that's kind of attractive.
Hopefully he's not like the character he portrayed in real life, coz that would kinda suck :/







16. 2PM's Taecyeon (1988)
The infamous 'microphone snatcher' Okcat ~ (=^・ェ・^=) I love how he's so into being a celebrity~ its kind of hard to explain but I always think people like him are born to be entertainers and to live under the spotlight. He enjoys every second on camera, every verse of a song and every word during an interview. 
And we must not forget his awe inspiring friendship skills (scandals with every SNSD member tsk tsk)
This guy has the best English accent and is a genuinely happy person. Lots of people complain about how he always fights to be the mc (The 2pm show and others) but I've got nothing against that; he's a celebrity!! Its not his job to sit in a corner and sulk. I loved him in Cinderella's sister and Dream high though sadly he wasn't the male lead in either. I want to see him in more dramas JYP!!!!!






17. Shinee's Minho (1991)
SHINee was the very first kpop band I was introduced to and it did take a while for it to grow on me. My first bias was Taemin because we shared the same birthday but then I quickly moved on to Minho, not because of anything other than their maturity level I guess. Its kind of hard for me to like guys who are so full of aegyo e.g. 99% of maknaes. 
I love Minho's personality and his politeness which is shown through shows like Hello Baby and others. 
His competitiveness is really attractive as well but I'm clearly not the only admirer as he is famous for being a hyungwhore.
To the incredibly hard working and sweet Minho sshi~~~ Taejun zzang!





18. EXO-M's TAO (1993)
I'm a huge fan of martial arts movies and I practically worship people like Jet Li and Jackie Chan so I was super thrilled when I heard that SM Ent. recruited a kung fu boy for their new group, the teaser did not disappoint. He is so attractive and dangerous when performing that I totally did not expect him to be the maknae, and a funny and innocent one too.
I actually used to work (voluntarily) as a translator for EXO-M interviews and varieties so I watched a lot of them. The more I watched, the more I was drawn in to TAO's ...weird...personality. He's special...very special. Anyway, I know that all martial artists have strong self discipline so that must mean he has a great off stage side too. I did come across a pre debut photo which evidently showed all the healing scars on his arms which made him seem manlier than ever~
(I must say, he looks a lot older than he is, maybe because of the panda eyes....)







19. SJ-M's Henry (1989)
Mochi Mochi MOCHI!!! The super talented and awesome Henry Lau DEFINITELY deserves a special mention. Multi talented guys are just so hot (*´▽`*)  I don't think there is anything he cannot not do, from violin (grade 10) to guitar, piano(grade 10) to drums...he also knows hip pop, ballet, popping and jazz and he sings like an angel. He is one of the best dancers in SM and he writes his own songs which he can sing, rap and beat box to. I was entranced when I saw his violin performances during Don't Don promotions. 
It was so sad when our little innocent Henry got forced to leave Korea when STUPID MINDLESS FANS couldn't accept additional members in a SUBGROUP. 
He's got flawless English (obviously ._.) and he often performs with his grandmother at rest homes.
My only complaint is that he keeps such a low profile...your talents are meant to shine man!!! 
He has his own youtube account so make sure you check it out






20. JANG KEUN SUK (1987)
My final candidate is no other than the SUPER AWESOME ASIA PRINCE !!!! *cue the music*
Having debuted at the young age of 5, he has worked steadily for 20 years coming up with numerous dramas and movies. I can't even put into words how much I appreciate his uniqueness and personality which was the main reason why I started and continued to like him. Many people may not know, but Jang Keun Suk actually took a year off to attend high school in Nelson New Zealand (he also met his first girl friend in Auckland which is where I'm from!!! I could have seen him!!!!!) he was incredibly independent from a young age and knew what he wanted to accomplish in life. After returning to Korea, he featured in a popular sitcom with global stars such as Rain, however, despite the success of the film he did not win any awards or gain much recognition. After that, he got himself a role in the Nation's drama Hwang Jin Yi, being only 18 years old, he overcame harsh criticism and became the 'Nation's perfect boy' with explosive popularity overnight. But the nation couldn't be more inaccurate about him. Jang Keun Suk is NOT the perfect boy, he does not hide his thoughts, bow to management companies nor does he know how to remain unnoticed. So, he began to bloat a little which earned him a pretty bad nickname and killed all his popularity in Korea. 
Though he didn't let that bother his career, he got his own company, hired his own staff members, invested in his own movies and made a fortune. He is now the star to acquire the most tangible assets in his generation in Korea. 
I love him because he is different, a brave and endearing person. He treats his fans like friends and once even drove some of them home after an event. He is the main coordinator of the his school's anniversary parties and he had a scholarship named after him from large donations. All in all, he's not like anyone I've ever seen before!
