Today I'm in Samchong-dong,
I am gonna grab lunch with Alice from W2 Beauty,
and then I'm gonna go over to Granhand, so let's go on over
We're gonna get brunch at the Mirror Room,
Yayy
The mirrors are very confusing it makes it look like this
cafe is a lot bigger than it actually is,
but it's super cute in here!
But I'm here with Alice from W2 Beauty
She's right here
She brought me products
I'll do an unboxing later,
later tonight yayy thank you!
I'm so excited!
Even the cup is really cute
It's like a.... yeah
Mmmm this is really good
She's seeing all the behind the scenes right now
It's so fun, so cute
I really love it
It's so yummy
Just had an amazing brunch
great conversations,
and now I'm gonna go to Granhand,
and she's gonna go back to work
Yeah, work (quotes)
Okay, thanks for brunch,
- and I'll see you again - Yeah
- Byeee - See you
I seriously love this area. Hanok just makes me so happy.
Here it is. It smells so good already.
Let's go on inside.
I love this store.
No one's here.
They invited me and are gonna teach me how to make, I think a candle or a fragrance
So I'm so excited
It's all the fragrances
and then they're gonna teach me over here
Look how official this lab is
and then they have all the samples here
Wow
She's making me tea but I finally met her
She's behind a lot of the scents here
- She makes it, hand made, right? - Yes
Yeah. And she speaks English so it's super easy
if you guys are interested I'll link down their Instagram so you guys can check out their class
- Right? - Yes
- Welcome! In Granhand Lab - Yes! I'm so excited
My instructor is here
I was just telling her that
I really like the perfumes at Granhand because
they're very long lasting
and then she was just telling me that this is
- (What was it?) - Eau de Parfum
Yes that
She studied in France
Okay
Citrus?
- Yeah, citrus - Ohh it smells good
I feel like after this class, I'm gonna be so good at describing scents
Like every time I go into a fragrance shop
I'm like, "It smells good"
At this point, I feel like... I would, I would not know
- This is cedar wood - Ohh
- From Bosnia - Ooh
So I really like these
This is the florally scents
and then here are the fruity ones
Not on my, not really my style
but it smells really good
and then here are my maybes so
but this is like all the scents I really liked
- Ten? - Yes - Really?
Rosemary... 1.5
- Five. Because it's strong - Yeah, very strong
- Uh lavendar... 2... you want lavendar? - Yes
- 2... Two - Two?
I want peony...
She's proud of my setup so she's taking a picture of it
She's a pro, she gets it exactly on- yeah six
Look at that
I needed to put six grams
Now we're gonna smell it
- Oh it's working - Okay
- And then lavendar? - Two.. one
Here it is
It definitely smells more like a perfume now
But she did say that I should wait about a month or two
- Two months? - Two weeks
- Two weeks - Minimum
Minimum, but I think I'm gonna wait for like a month before using it
because she says that the scent will...
It will smell better if you wait a little longer
I'm so excited!
Wow, I have my own scent
So we are making soy candles
- different from paraffin. Paraffin? - Paraffin
Yeah and paraffin is not good for your health
but she was also saying that it's easier to make but
soy takes time, love and it's long lasting
Yes and it's better for you
- Candles are simple - Yeah
Here are the scents I chose for the candle
I wanted something relaxing and I'm super excited to mix these up
- Soy wax, we need 270? - Yes
Okay
She's gonna melt the soy and while that's going
Oh right, the wick
Wow. Is that how it goes?
She's writing Joan Hyang, which means good scent
but then we spelled "Joan" with my name
So the soy is ready
It's all melted
and now we're gonna add the Joan Hyang
The more you mix, the better for the candle?
And then we're just gonna put them in there
Oh my gosh, it smells soo good
We're all done but since I can't use these right away
I'll be back to pick them up in about a week or two
and we'll see how it smells after
So thank you
Just finished my class. It was a lot of fun
I would definitely recommend it if you're interested in learning how to make
your own fragrance and candles
Check in the description box and I will leave their Instagram down below
And all you have to do is DM them and
you know, discuss when you can come
The weather is so nice today
There's a lot of people wearing hanbok
but I am gonna go over to
the camera rental place to return this Vixia
because it's been a week now and
it's time to start using my brand new camera
There are so many places you can rent hanboks
If you're interested, I will link the video where Sunny and I wore hanboks
and walked around Gyeongbokgung up here
so you guys can check it out
That day was a lot of fun
I'm at the Media Shop to return the Vixia
so I'll see you guys with my new one
She's double checking if I brought everything
and then I'm good to go
Yay!
I'm now in the taxi to go eat dinner with my mum and my brother
and I just wanna show you guys this taxi
It's super... it's super nice
I mean look at the ceiling
I'm back home now
My mum, my brother and I, we had dinner at Mashitjjim
The food there is super good and tasty
I'm super full now and I came home to a package waiting outside my door
This is from Kira Kira
It's from a Japanese company and also I wanted to open up what Alice got me
So let's start with the Japanese products
Open this up
and you'll see a card in here
Let's read this first
I think it's just a little book of what's inside
and it explains it to you in English, which is convenient
First we have the Mippunamakeshousui
This is bottle face lotion
and... it's a face lotion
but it kind of feels like a toner
We'll find out
We also have this Delicious lipcream
Apparently these strawberry, chocolate and mint chocolate scented
lipbalms will 1. melt into your skin
and will leave you smelling as sweet as Valentine's Day chocolate
Yaay, Valentine's Day, even though it passed, it's okay
Here is a liquid eyeliner
BWPRM. This is what it looks like
I think this is a pink eyeliner
That's interesting.. it is a pink eyeliner!
I have a purple eyeliner but I ended up never using it
but we'll see
Here is a Choosy Chocolate Banana lipmask
The instructions says you just kinda use it like that
Very nice. I really like this because there are instructions in English
Okay. Here is the PGT cosmetics
This is what it looks like
Another Valentine's Day themed product
Okay, there are two more things in here
First is this
Let me just quickly figure out what this is
It's for a bath
And then finally we have the Pure Smile essence mask series
Looks like this
Thank you Kira Kira
I think this is a subscription box
If you're interested, I'll link it down below
Next box is W2 Beauty
And I actually have no idea what's inside
She kind of surprised me with this... with this box
and she was like, "Here I got you products"
so let's see what's inside
I had to quickly change the memory card
but okay
So first we have sheet masks
This is from Benton. Eunyul? I've never heard of this brand but I'm always down to try sheetmasks
This is what they look like
Alright. Next we have... I think these are samples?
Just quickly open this
This is the W2 Beauty silicone sponge blender
This is currently like the biggest trend on YouTube right now
If you wanna see me review this blender, comment down below
I might do like a get ready with me on this channel and yeah
And then a bunch of samples
She also sent over the Innisfree...
What is this? Enriched essence
I love this line so, Alice you know me so well
It's such a small size, so cute
Okay
Here we have more stuff
Wow, she like spoiled me
There's a rose therapy nutrient boost ampoule from CellNCo
I have not heard of this brand before
I'm curious about what the packaging looks like
Very pretty essence
A Korean brand that I haven't heard of
Here is the Sandawha sunscreen
Another brand I haven't heard of
This autofocus, so convenient
But this is what it looks like
It kinda looks like the Missha packaging
Okay. Another product is
a hair care
And this is from La Bellona
This is what it looks like, the packaging
And let's see what it is. I needed a new essence oil
because I'm done with my Nature Republic and the uh
what is that? That orange one that Sunny gifted me
But this is what it looks like. I'm so excited
And finally she gave me the 3CE Lily Maymac collaboration
These are the other two colours that I don't have
Warm and Sweet and Hold On
So if you guys want me to do like a swatch review of them
Comment down below and I think I might do it for my main channel
