IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX SPF50 PA+++


Laneige的姊妹牌子IOPE在韓國極受韓國女仕歡迎,而IOPE新推出的SPF50氣墊防曬乳在亞洲也是熱賣產品,馬虎也急不及待在Gmarket上訂購了一盒。


金黃色的粉盒設計

吸引馬虎買這盒防曬乳的原因是它具有SPF50+/PA+++,一次過實現美白,防曬及隔離的功效。加上嶄新科技如:

  • 世界首創氣墊型防曬乳 : 含35%水份美白精華融於氣墊防曬乳中,為肌膚帶來高度保濕及鎮定效果。
  • 阻熱清涼容器:採用阻隔外部熱空氣,後用增加清涼效果,為肌膚帶來一個防汗的保護層
  • Air-Pump技術:Air-Pump效果使 防曬乳含有空氣層,即使在化粧後也不會把防曬剝落。

盒內的氣墊設計

要用手或精扑把防曬乳擠出
擠出來的防曬乳帶水潤感,不油不膩
馬虎用後感

  • 用粉扑塗上面時有清涼水潤的感覺,沒有一般高度數防曬乳般「油淋淋」。
  • 馬虎用23號Beige的顏色,遮瑕效果也不錯。
  • 用後數小時也能保持清爽的感覺,也沒有出現「浮油」的情況。

用後感覺良好,是推介產品,難怪是亞洲大熱,據發言人稱本產品平均每30秒就賣出了一盒。可惜的地方是香港沒有代理Iope的產品,要買的話需從Gmarket訂購。

What makes K-Pop so success?


K-Pop, Korean Pop, has a growing popularity across the globe in the past few years.  Thanks to the aggressive promotion of the Korean media industry in other regions which gives birth to the rise of K-Pop.  Eventually the success was not an accident; it was all strategically planned with its critical success factors.


The reason why Korean groups are more popular than other singing groups from other part of the world is they know how to capture the global market by closely aligning their music style with US.  They understand and learn the critical music elements that capture audience’s interest and attention and put those elements into Korean music.   The US music industry also has a missing existence of Asian pop music over the years.  The rise of K-Pop gives an opportunity to nurture Asian pop music to the US market. 

The appearances of Korean singing stars and singing groups are attractive.  Not solely referring to their facial appearances, it’s all about the overall appearances to include the way they dress and the hit dance they deliver strongly appeal to the young generation.  Even young adults get the sense of youthfulness when they see the way Korean Pop Stars dance. 

The rise of Korean dramas is also another reason contributes to the success of K-Pop.  Many of the dramas manage to closely link with the audience’s heart.  Recent success of “Rooftop Prince” has an audience vote of over 75% in Seoul International Drama Awards 2012 organized by Korea.com.  The success of the drama further increases the popularity of its major actor, Park Yuchun of JYJ, with an audiences vote over 77%.  He has over 90,000 accumulated fans base in one of the discussion forums in Mainland China, Baidu.  His twitter account, though he decided to close down eventually, had over 700,000 followers all over the world, thanks to the widespread of internet and social media.

K-Pop has major contribution to the Korean wave, which also known as Hallyu.  This represents a global recognition of Korean entertainment business which also brings positive effect to the entire Korean culture.
