Gaston Luga Stockholm Sweden Collaboration

Gaston Luga, my new black snobbish backpack! Even receiving it feels a little unreal for me.
Classic, minimalistic, elegant, stylish, it is everything is it.

(Classic - Black & Black)

Gaston Luga is a Swedish backpack retailer located in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. And I was really fortunate enough to be receiving it first hand. This elegant piece really got me so in love, ever since the last one I got for myself back in my college days.
I understand how important and essential a quality backpack means to me, I never compromise for anything less. Durable, minimalism and elegance, fitting in perfectly for any different occasions I can think of for myself.

In thoughtful and detailed consideration, Gaston Luga focus on what was lagging in the industry today when it comes to what customers want and need. Functional features such as a pocket specially designed for things (i.e passport/travel tickets) needed to be easily accessible yet kept safe are also details that make the backpacks extremely practical i would say.

Dimensions
- 28 x 42 x 14cm, 15L

Backpack Description
- Highly durable canvas
- Magnetic strap closure with metal pin clip

Misfit Ray

Probably a week ago, i received my first ever activity tracker from @Misfit. I was very excited for it indeed.

"Fashion, Wellness & Intelligence."

Misfit focuses on these core values to deliver an excellent experience to its users.
With style in mind, I must admit that it has got to be one of the stylish activity tracker so far I've ever seen in the market. It goes along pretty well with most of my fashion outfits, and that's really great to realize.







The rubber strips make it really comfortable to equip with, whether it's for a sports activity or just a fashion statement. The battery that was provided along with the box are said to be able to last for 4-6 months, and no charging are required.

A few unique features:






Personally, having it to remind me with vibrations on calls, messages or even morning alarms really make it comes in handy as part of my every day essential. Taking selfies or controlling music from my phone is something that can now be done swiftly, via Misfit as well.





Having said that, along with MisFit Link, an phone app that supported Misfit Ray now also able to show me all my activities on going, with accurate details on the amount of calories burned for the tracked amount of activities done per day (walk, run, sleep etc.). And syncing the tracker with the app can never be easier, with built-in Bluetooth function on Misfit Ray.

Full review on Leagoo Shark 1

An awesome week with Leagoo Shark 1... 

And before i go about sharing my personal experience with Leagoo Shark 1, you probably want to refer to my previous post for a quick glance at this awesome piece if you've yet to!




For a new phone brand entry like Leagoo Shark 1, it's actually doing pretty fine, honestly speaking. With the everlasting battery life, i get to enjoy browsing through my favorite social platforms on the boring train rides, without worrying about the low battery situation. I no longer have to compromise my bright HD screen for a power saving mode, while catching videos online too. Speaking of which, it can also act as a portable charger for my friend too with its power sharing feature. Goodbye to portable chargers :)



As for portable wise, the phone itself is actually pretty heavy, but i guess its all good since i don't really mind. It's still within comfortable hand grip for me, and i guess that's more important in consideration on phones.

Dimension 158.6(L) * 82.8(W) * 8.5(H)
Weight 240.9g

 
 

We all have documents, messages or even pictures that can be really personal and this is where the New Generation of Fingerprint ID 3.0 comes in handy. I was amazed at how fast the unlock process takes, as fast as 0.39s! It offers privacy and security for your personal data with a little sense of classic design at the back of the phone. I really love this thoughtful function right here!



Performance/Security over Camera? 

If you're thinking to try this phone out, this is a question you might want to consider. Not that the camera is terrible, but  if you're comparing it to well-known camera phones like Samsung or iPhone, Leagoo Shark 1 still definitely has room for improvement i would say. But less on comparing, the camera is in fact pretty decent for daily life usage!

So, here are my two cents...

Camera 6.5/10
Value for Money 7.5/10
Battery lifespan 9.5/10
Performance/Security 8.5/10
Design 9.8/10

For more detailed information, please visit http://www.leagoo.com.sg/mobileproducts/shark-1/
Also, receive the latest news on Leagoo: https://web.facebook.com/LEAGOO.SG/

In conclusion, i think you wouldn't want to miss out on this piece right here if camera function is not exactly everything you're looking out for a phone :)

Thank you @LeagooOfficial for the beauty set, and Soon Koon for the collaboration invitation!

Full Review / ASUS ZenFone Max

My 2 weeks experience with ASUS ZenFone Max

Generally, the phone is pretty decent. Whats amazing about it, was its super long durable battery life that can last me for about 3 - 4 days before the next charge. Someone like me who often use my phone for browsing social platforms, i must say the phone really can last.

Next, i like to mention about its camera performance since it's the core i look at when selecting a phone for myself. ASUS ZenFone Max has an f/2.0-aperture lens that captures stunning, high resolution photos with zero shutter lag. It's pretty amazing given the affordable market price of the phone.

Its beautiful 5.5 inch IPS HD panel with latest generation Corning^®Gorilla^® Glass 4 offers double the drop-damage resistance along with a more than comfortable video viewing experience.

Whats Inside the Box


Apart from the usual charger, charging cables, warranty card etc, something different in the box would be the linkage cable to provide charging point from ASUS ZenFoneMax, yes using it as a powerbank.






  All in all, pretty decent experience with ASUS ZenFone Max and for people who are looking for an alternative phone, this is it!   Camera 8/10 Value for Money 9/10 Battery life 9.8/10 Performance 7.5/10 Design 9/10
Also, as per mentioned previously that you guys stand a chance to win amazing prizes such as ASUS ZenFone Max, ASUS ZenFone Selfie or $50 shopping vouchers, just by reading and sharing this article with your friends! Of course, the more you share, the higher chance you stand. It's just so easy, isn't it? :)

Once again, thank you @asus for the kind opportunity to review on the phone set.

Alcatel Flash 2 Review

Lately, i'm certainly humbled yet privilege enough, to be given the opportunity to try out the brand new Alcatel Flash 2, before its official release date in Singapore. One thing for sure, its camera function is superb. It is unbelievable how a phone camera can be this powerful and superior so much so the photo quality resembles of a DSLR. So if you're thinking that a professional DSLR camera is too much of a load to carry around, consider Alcatel Flash 2!



  I've always think that when it comes to mobile photography, nothing wins big brands like Apple or Samsung. Not until I tried Alcatel Flash 2, my opinion changes.  

With 13MP S5K3M2 ISOCELL sensor, f/2.0 aperture and 0.3 seconds Phase Detection Auto Focus, Flash 2 captures every specific details that is essential to a superior image. Not forgetting that the RealTone flash gives an extra advantage in low light condition while maintaining the colours as true as possible to real life, for both the rear and front(5MP) camera.



     Alcatel Flash 2 was ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in any hand. The non-slip and mark-free curved back keeps the device spotless and dirt-free at all times. At the same time, the balanced body gives easy access to all functions by just one hand.   Diameters (mm) 145.80 x 70.40 x 8.99         Running with Android 5.1 as its Operating System, many should be familiar and comfortable with its user interface. Its user friendly navigation has been a positive experience for me as well.   With a Dual Sim ability, the device supports up to 2 micro-SIM cards. Alcatel Flash 2 also has a 16GB internal storage, along with an external storage that is expandable up to 128GB MicroSD. Similarly to many latest smart phones, Alcatel Flash 2's battery is non-removable.   Camera 9.8/10 Value for Money 9/10 Battery life 8/10 Performance 8.5/10 Design 9.5/10
Alcatel Flash 2's official released date was on 5th December 2015, in Singapore. It is now available in Volcanic Grey, at M1 and Lazada store, for $199, bundled together with a Flash 2 flip cover and screen protector.     At bottom line, mobile photography was made really affordable, with the upcoming Alcatel Flash 2. Its classic yet durable design, make it an outstanding piece to held on to.

Asian Skin Solutions

I've been troubled by acne and scarring over the years and it really does bother me, alot.
People who knows me, often were concern about my condition and advised me to do something about it.
But you see, its not like i don't want to, but i just don't know which facial clinic i can entrust my condition to,  until i found Asian Skins Solution.

It was early May 2014, i started my journey going through a series of customized facial treatments under Asian Skins Solution and to my least expected, the result were really obvious.

For the first visit, skin condition will be analyze by a professional consultant.

 

I probably don't understand the scanned images but i was told that my skin is pretty dry and had inflammation within :(

From the analysis, they are able to better understand my skin condition and derived to customized treatments, applying essential nutrients that is most needed by my skin condition. A series of customized treatments was then prepared for me based on my skin condition, called the Collage Skin Repairing Treatment.

The very comfortable 2 hours Collage Skin Repairing Treatment includes:
1) Double cleansing
Cleansing and removing all the possible dirt and sebum from the skin surface!

2) Soften Mask
Hydrating the skin for healthier skin cells, and at the same time soften clogged and stubborn pores with the use of softening essence!

  3) Lightly Extraction
Unclogging pimples & pore on the skin, and surprisingly the pain is bearable!    
4) Intense Collage Essence Treatment + Machine + Face Point Therapy
I personally enjoyed this the most, because it is really comfortable and cooling at the same time!
It helps to pump collagen extract directly into my skin for maximum absorption with the use of a device. This also boost collagen production which aid in firmer and much more radiance skin! After which, a pressure point therapy will be performed to detox and improve on my face's blood circulation.

6) Cream Mask & Treatment Mask
This helps to restores healthy cells which leads to a much radiance and glowing skin. It even out unbalanced skin tone for a better and brighter complexion! Ultimately, this aid to better control the oil production on my face, while providing the uttermost essential nutrients to my skin!

And after the treatment,
i always love seeing those radiance and glowing skin once again!

Thank you so much Asian Skins Solution,
for bringing back my long lost confidence,
and proving to me that i can entrust my skin condition to you.

Also, I would like to show my appreciation to...
My Professional Consultant: Frances 

And the ever friendly Manager: Arin
