MasKingdom - Masks Fit For Queens

Not only do they offer your skin's needs with essential oils and natural extracts through a 2 step mask regime, they're also make great presents, each themed with beautiful illustrations by Illustrator/Designer - Stanley Dai.

There's a mask for every occasion and they made great gifts for my girlfriends. Just by their names, it was enough talking point for a dinner affair...

LG OLED TV To Make Northern Lights Viewing Possible This Summer

Hi Huneybees,

Ever wanted to see the rare phenomenon Northern Lights aka Aurora Borealis in Iceland?  From April to August, it cannot be observed due to the midnight sun which keeps the country lit almost 24 hours a day, but LG is making it happen for audiences around the globe!

For one night only, on 20 July 2016, LG has invited nearly one thousand guests to the Lights Out, Stars On concert, giving summer tourists and residents their first opportunity to view the Aurora Borealis during the summer months, via its cutting-edge HDR-enabled 4K OLED TVs at the award-winning Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik.

Photo Credits: http://www.henninglarsen.com/

With its glass panels resembling the elegant Picture-on-Glass of LG SIGNATURE OLED TV, 40 large OLED TVs will be installed in an array to display the Icelandic night sky on their perfectly black screens with a kick off concert.

Throughout the campaign, LG has worked closely with award-winning Icelandic writer and activist Andri Magnason, professional astrophotographer Sean Parker, created original works of art depicting the beautiful Aurora-filled night skies of Iceland and popular tech YouTuber Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy will serve as creative director for the campaign.

During the 2006 Aurora Borealis viewing season, Icelandic poet and novelist Andri Magnason suggested that the city of Reykjavik come together to make the beauty of the night sky visible within the city for the first time. Magnason wanted the people of Rey-kjavik to see the northern lights and stars against a completely black backdrop. Just as eliminating light pollution allowed the people of Reykjavik to see the lights in all their glory, the pitch black backdrop of OLED TVs heightens the contrast and delivers richer images.

Which is where the LG OLED TVs feature comes in. With individually illuminated pixels and eliminating the need for image-distorting LED backlights, the OLED TVs are capable of displaying perfect black images alongside bright, lifelike colors.

“LG has been an innovator in TV technology for the last 50 years and this drive to cre-ate the best display has culminated in today’s OLED TV. By accurately capturing the beauty of Ice-land’s Northern Lights, residents and tourists alike will be able to experience the magic of nature as only LG OLED TV makes possible.” --- Brian Kwon, president of the LG Home Entertainment Company

The campaign will also feature a photography exhibition displaying images of scenic Icelandic landscapes and night skies on LG OLED TVs. Captured by a number of talented Icelandic photographers, the images showing the natural beauty of the heavens and the Earth will be displayed in a whole new perspective on the perfect surfaces of LG OLED TVs. The photo exhibition will run from July 20 until November 20 in Harpa Concert Hall. Tickets are available at www.tix.is/en/event/2973/lights-out-stars-on.

And if you want to be there for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there's a global contest running for this campaign, courtesy of LG HQ in Korea. Stand a chance to win tickets to the concert and an all-expenses paid Reykjavik travel package to view the Lights Out, Stars On concert. Competition details can be found at www.facebook.com/lgtv.

LINE Fills LG's Pocket Photo With Cuteness

Hi Huneybees,

Mobile photo printing has never been so stylish! LG has teamed up with LINE to release a brand-new design for its Pocket Photo (model: PD239SF), an inkless mobile photo printing device. Fans of BROWN can now carry along this special edition pocket photo printer on their outings!

The portable and eye-pleasing LG Pocket Photo is one of the smallest mobile photo printing devices in the market and prints pictures rendered at a crystal clear 313dpi — perfect for sharing or displaying. After downloading and installing the free Pocket Photo editing app, users can wirelessly connect their smartphones or tablets and begin customising their pictures for printing immediately.

There's an accompanying BROWN pouch and stickers for you to customise your Pocket Photo!

The accompanying Pocket Photo app lets users experiment with a wide range of customization options. There are filter effects as well as a clever frame augmentation feature. It also offers the ability to embed QR codes in photos, a great way to connect a physical photograph with an online community or internet-based content. The creative and easy-to-use combination of app and device gives the Pocket Photo the unique ability to both edit and print photographs immediately while on-the-go.

The Pocket Photo uses the proven ZINK® technology, eliminating the need for expensive ink cartridges, ribbons or toner. This technology utilizes heat to activate the necessary color-forming dye crystals imbedded in each sheet of paper. Compared with conventional printing processes, ZINK’s inkless paper system preserves images much longer and produces less smearing, thus keeping the Pocket Photo slim and pictures immediately dried once fully printed. 

The LINE x LG Pocket Photo is available at all Challenger outlets retailing at $229. Grab yours quick! And here's my review of the LG Pocket Photo --- http://huneyzworld.blogspot.sg/2014/09/the-lg-pocket-photo-20-brings-friends.html.

SHREK THE MUSICAL Was Farting-ly Awesome!

Hi Huneybees,

After so many months of anticipation, SHREK THE MUSICAL has finally opened this week at the Mastercard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands! The show was roaringly funny, brought me back to the days when Shrek first got introduced to our lives and I left the theatre still in awe over how beautifully the show was crafted and pieced together to make cartoon characters come to LIVE!

We've kinda already know the story from the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, where Shrek, an ogre comes to save the fiesty Princess Fiona from the fire-breathing Dragon protected tower, under the "enlisted" help of Lord Farquaad. He turns out to be her true love and breaks her free from her ogre curse. Just the usual fairytale...

I love that the script didn't deviate much from the original movie and even some of the jokes and puns were exactly the same, the whole jist of the movie is pretty much the same, except this was cartoon characters coming to us LIVE!

First thing that impressed me was the set background! Combining a 10m x 6m LED wall, moving sets with trees that go over 7m high and 60 scene changes, we are literally travelling and walking through forests with Shrek and Donkey on their quest to save Princess Fiona.

Next, is the powerhouse vocals. In particular Grace Leszymski as Dragon and Lindsay Estelle Dunn as Princess Fiona, with them belting their solo parts, they got the loudest claps from the audience and even standing ovation towards the end of the performance.

All in all SHREK THE MUSICAL is definitely the must-go for this school holidays. But probably due to a lack of cartoon-ness and upbeat songs, kids might not be able to stay awake throughout. We found the younger kids dozing off towards the second half of the show even though the green ogre was charming everyone else in the audience...

Be sure to catch the loveable fairy tale characters in SHREK THE MUSICAL this June holiday and check out this Meet Shrek & Princess Fiona Enchanted Tea Party package below for 17th June 2016! Other ticketing details are as follows:
