Hada Labo x Ellysage!

Hello everyone! (: So yes, I'm back to blog and this time's on Hada Labo! Thank you Ellysage for this collaboration with Hada Labo ♡

Well, Hada Labo is a very familiar brand and they are very much well known for their awesome moisturizing products and lifestyle philosophy of being a skincare range that's "Perfect x Simple"! (: I've actually blogged about their hydrating lotion previously before, but I'm gonna be introducing their whitening series here instead!

I'm not exactly fair I feel (cause of the years I've spent training for netball under the sun) but well it's never too late to start caring for your skin heh! (:

Close-ups: 

Instructions at the back of the bottles indicate to cleanse your face using the whitening face wash, then proceed to use the whitening lotion and lastly the whitening milk! (:

Me posing with the products heh!

And here goes (I'm using the whitening lotion after cleansing my face plus I've removed my makeup as well!):

Basically, all you've got to do is to pour out some on your palms, and lightly pat the solution all around your face until your skin has absorbed the solution all around! Be careful while doing this though, cause the formula is really quite like a solution than a cream or a viscous sort of liquid. 

Aaaand, ta-dah you're done in just less than a minute! (: 

Hada Labo's products feel really mild on the skin, and it's non-sticky or greasy which is leaves your skin feeling very light (: Moreover, all of their products come without fragrances too and it's really fuss-free to use as well!

I'm looking forward to having fairer and brighter skin with this whitening series by trying to apply it every night before heading to bed (: Thank you Hada Labo and Ellsysage for sending these products my way heh (:

Phantom Joker Escape! ♡ ♢ ♤ ♧

Hi everyone! I was recently invited for a game experience by Nuffnang at the Phantom Joker Escape, which is a real escape game outlet that opened in Jan 2014 (: So, a real escape game is basically a setting where players have to solve clues/mysteries in a specific game setting in a set time limit.

I was quite looking forward to this event because I've played something similar before with the boyfriend and another couple as a double date activity heh!

Phantom Joker Escape is really cool because they offer "episodes" for players to explore and solve according to a single story line, instead of the usual different "rooms/scenarios" that other real escape game outlets offer! So basically, these "episodes" are linked to each other and it works together to solve the main mystery in the entire story.

Here are some visuals of the place:

Basically, the gist of the story is that you'll be playing the role of Carl, who's a FBI agent. Carl's brother, Brook, has disappeared mysteriously and is trapped somewhere. In order to rescue your brother, you'll have to go through and solve these episodes which the Phantom Joker Escape offers (: These include, breaking into a biochemistry company, exploring spooky alien worlds and even time-traveling to ancient times!

The episode that I tried was Episode 02 - The Fallen Star in the Ancient Villa! My group was supposed to find this secret evil source of power which traces back to ancient times, and we were brought into this dim room and given candle torches as lights to search for clues.

Chess pieces

I really enjoyed my experience at the Phantom Joker as it utilizes high-tech machinery for players to solve certain parts of the mystery instead of just the usual lock-and-key puzzles. Players are also required to read through clues thoroughly and work together as a team, cause even the slightest details play a huge part in the entire story! (BIG HINT here hahaha)

And trust me, you'll be super in awe of the machinery that's put in place! All of us went like "OMG!" and let off frantic stifles when we managed to solve certain parts of the room hahaha. 

Group shot with some of the other girls present (: 

Unfortunately, my group wasn't able to solve all of the parts of this episode, and the staff were really helpful in aiding and guiding us through parts of the episode when we were stuck! (: It's really fun and definitely a good bonding activity with friends or for corporate companies! Would definitely be back with my friends to try out the other episodes (:

Sparks fly ☼

Back with part 2 of my photoshoot with Tzu hehe! We had both a formal and casual shoot on the same day, which lasted from about 9+ in the morning till about 1+ in the afternoon (:

I wanted a picnic scene for our casual shoot and it was held just behind the Singapore National Museum, a rather secluded and lovely spot of Fort Canning Park! (: I didn't even know it existed hahaha, and it was super empty the day we were there. Just lots of green grass and lovely weather (:

We brought along cupcakes, a picnic basket with fruits and juice as well as hold-up cards etc to make the shots look colourful and vibrant and also to create a picnic atmosphere as well!

As per the previous set of photos, these are by Roy at Roy Pek Photography as well (: !

"Hahahaha smile nicely!! Don't laugh too unglamly!!" :D

Wish that was champagne but hehe, apple juice is a good substitute for picnic shoots! (:

"Hehehe, no strawberry for you."

"Down the paths, I will always be with you." (':

"EH don't drop me okay!!!"

Roy: "Okay Tzu, I want you to tickle Jocina."

Tzu: "SURE!!!"

Me: "Whaaa..what nooooo!!!"

Jump shot to end off (: 

(: It was a really fun day, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly although it was tiring as well! Roy made the entire process really smooth and it's amazing that he finished both shoots in about 4-5 hours only(inclusive of time that we took to change and place props etc)! (: 

Oh yes, this was my outfit for the outdoor shoot:

The Tinsel Rack's Magnolia Chiffon Shorts in White

Megagamie's Double Tier Spag Top in White

White Buckle Heels from a spree online 

(:

Can't wait for the weekend again, a little not used to getting back to work's routine after the CNY holidays! CNY was incredibly fun, and I really love this season. 

Yay to the week being close to Wednesday alrd though; goodnight everybody (:

Love, Jo ♡
