[Work] Shoot @ Egg3 Cafe

 
        A cup of nice, hot coffee or capaccino on a warm,lazy afternoon in a nice cozy cafe and watching the world go by is what most of us wishes to do in order to get away from the stressful urban lifestyle.
 
Yet, most of us must be thinking that places or cafes like this probably don't exists at all. And majority of us are already quite satisfied with Starbucks or Coffee Bean.  ( Coz i'm one of those people also XP)
 
However, when i went for a photoshoot yesterday at this place called "Egg3 Cafe" I completely changed my view about coffee outlets and cafes.
 
 
Located at 231 Mountbatten Road Blk D, though not easy to find and without almost any obvious sign, one could have easily missed it. With see through glass at both the front and back, Its gives a kind of warm natural feel to the whole environment.
 
When you first stepped in to the cafe, Straight away what greets u is this lovely foldable chair with prints of birds and branches.
 
 
Though without a specific theme or concept nor fanciful furnishings, yet at almost every corner little decorative surprises will always awaits you. Just like this victoria style corner is my "cup of tea" =P Looks elegant, don't you think so? ;)
 


Another cozy sofa corner ^^
 
Even the walls are with nice decoratives. ^_^ (Simply love this kind of style!)
 
 
Another one of my favourite corner =P
(Really love this kind of vintage looking birdcage decorated with flowers)
I bet if were to keep a bird or parrot in it, the little animal will be cheerful also XD
 
 Another little surprise is that most of
the merchandises on display are mainly for sale.
 The owner even brought in stuffs like wallets,clutch bags and handbags to sell in the cafe.
Interested customers can directly ask the staff for assistance. =)
 
Even this old rustic vintage bicycle is also for sale.
Though its already spoiled without the seat, the owner still display in his cafe as part of the decoration. (Must have been a memorable item for him? =) ) Imagine displaying this piece of art right in your own home which will definitely be a great conversation starter!
 
Handbags for sale. =)
 
More decorations.
 


Such beautiful display area... =D
I think some of the items are for sale too. ( Can check with the saff ) =)
 
 
Last but not least is the food here. Wahaha....How could i ever forget?
I mean that's the main thing isn't it? =P --- (Drooling in progress...)
 
They have different breakfast and main course menu.
What i had here is one of their sandwich. "Asian Chicken Sandwich"
Sounds pretty common name but the taste is really nice..cooked with olive oil (Which is a very good and healthy choice ) Served with crispy fries,chicken bites,fresh green salad and fries.
 (A definite good choice for those on a healthy diet.)

[ Skincare Sharing & Product Review ] Etude House Sunprise SPF42 Sunscreen


Find it weird myself that i'm writing this post on a cool,rainy day. XD Yet, living in a tropical climate country like Singapore 365 days has made me become very sun-concious,even on rainy days. Imagine the kind of damage UV rays could do to our skin if we simply leave home without sunscreen. Though we can't see them but the least we could do is to block them out.


Having tried before so many different brands of sunscreen.I'm pretty particular when it comes down to the type of texture it provides as i believe most of us doesn't like the stickiness feeling on our face. However, this sunscreen from Etude House kind of change my view. Not only does it comes with SPF 42 PA++ but it's also a skin corrector. Meaning it will also helps to correct our skin tone, brightening up dull and uneven skin.


And the best part of all...not only that its lightweight texture without the stickiness feeling on the skin but its also easy to blend out and settle on top of our skin pretty fast.

Pricing wise is also reasonable. (I got it during their last day of 30% storewide sale XD) Thus, invest in a good sunscreen could also lighten our workload of taking good care of our skin.

May everyone have a beautiful,lovely evening ^_^ (Though its raining heavily here.. )

[Work} Korean Drama Inspired

A shoot that was done a couple of months back. Many thanks to Leonard Chua for conceptualising, organizing and putting this shoot together. Love his photography works.. and big thanks to the owner of Eight cafe for lending us the space for the shoot. and of course thanks to the 2 wonderful models Jason and Shermaine for making this happened. ;)


 
 
 
 
     Inspired by the recent Korea trends and craze sizzling all over Asia and the world, thus the concept of the combination of Korean drama & K-Pop. Koreans guys & girls are well known for their beautiful & flawless skin & in order to achieve that, Below are some of the products that i've used.





 Face: Mary Kay Foundation Primer (Oil & Fragrance free and non-comedogenic. One of the best primer i had ever used, i'm currently selling this as well,interested parties can pm me for price & details )
Loreal True Match liquid foundation mixed with The Body ShopXLily Cole pearl radiance primer

Eyes On Shermaine: 1028 Brownie eyeshadow palette (Taiwan makeup artist Xiaokai brand)
Kate gel eyeliner
Maybelline Volume Express Mascara
Etude House drawing eyebrow pencil

Lips On Shermaine: Fraise Strawberry lipbalm (Sephora)
Mac lipstick in Satin Pink AB9
Loccitane Sweety Honey lipgloss
 
Besides the korean dramas that we have all been watching, lately k pop stars and singers are also spotted with radiant flawless skin. Thus, we were also inspired to do a couple of photos that were a bit raw and edgy..hmm.. kinda like 2NE1 meets Shinee =P
Nevertheless, beautiful skin is the key to beautiful makeup, so in order to achieve radiant flawless skin, proper skincare is still a must! ;)
