Been curious about the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, wana have a feel of the legendary S Pen before making the purchase? Samsung Singapore recently set up a limited-time only pop up at leading multi-brand streetwear retailer CHAMBER @ Wisma Atria.

Themed as Paint the Town, you will be able to paint the commissioned artwork by local graphic designer and illustrator Moon Malek with the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G.

Muneera Malek, also known as Moon Malek, is a graphic designer and an illustrator. D'ana of COVL, CJ Hendry, Joshua Vides and Walt Disney, to name a few, play an essential role and are mainly responsible for moulding her love for illustrations and mixed media. Her background of working for both local and international brands such as Zouk Club Singapore to Fred Perry enable her to expand and widen her creativity.

Moon's most recent work was a mural installation for Adidas Singapore's Headquarters and one of their local store at Pan Pacific Plaza in 2020.

About the Mural

Where do we create new realities, challenge gravity or spur fantastical manipulations? In our minds, where rules are bent and at best, broken.

 

This mural captures the playground of the mind. It blurs the lines between imagination and reality with elements that interact and break all the rules. Just as the Galaxy S22 Series 5G does. With its lenses, S Pen and ability to shoot at any angle, the Galaxy S22 Series 5G welcomes you to Break the Rules of Innovation and experience the world as your mind sees it, blending together what’s possible and unbelievable.

Samsung Paint the Town pop-up is open to public from 10 March to 24 March 2022, between 11am to 9pm. Other than "painting" the mural, you can also:

Newly Weds Joanne Peh & Qi Yu Wu Brings Sweetness To Pasticcerria Ferrero

Hi Huneybees,

Another chocolatey Christmas delight is here in town for you guys to consider this festive season. Decked in shiny gold wrappers, the popular Ferrero Rocher, has brought Italy to our island with an installation of Pasticceria Ferrero  right in the heart of .

Right from 1942, Pietro Ferrero began the legendary Ferrero Rocher and now, at the Pasticcerria Ferrero, you get to experience more variations of this delectable Ferrero Pralines that were never available in Singapore.

Stepping into the store, is as though I was back in the Great Gatsby movie. Gold embellished decor with bright hanging chandeliers, all that is missing is my flapper dress. Hehehehe...

At the media launch, they had newly wedded local celebrity couple - Joanne Peh and Qi Yu Wu joined Rudy Sequeira (Managing Director, SEA, Ferrero Asia Ltd) and Leonardo Perrone  (Marketing Director, South East Asia) in the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the store. 

Bringing the unique heritage of Ferrero to Singapore, Chefs Luca Dellapiana and Alessandria Davide, specially flew in from Italy to lead a live demonstration of the making of Ferrero Rocher for their fans. These demonstrations will be held on weekends from 29 November to 1 December.and the lucky Joanne Peh and Qi Yu Wu, got to join them and make their very own pralines.

Ferrero Rocher is made only with the highest quality ingredients, beginning with the hand-picking of the finest of hazelnuts which form the heart of Rocher. The creations are then covered with decadent chocolate that reflects the elite taste of those who gift them.

Though you might not be able to hands-on like the couple, you can still customise your very own Ferrero Pralines gift with their extensive range of variants, including the special pralines available only this Christmas, for Singaporeans. The exclusive pralines include - Ferrero Tenderly White, Ferrero Cappucino, Ferrero Tenderly Nougat, Ferrero Manderly, Mon Chéri, Pocket Coffee, Kusschen White, Kusschen Milk, Kusschen Dark, Raffaello and Ferrero Rondnoir (the latter pralines are currently part of the assortment in the Ferrero Collection). 

But of course, if you are deeply infatuated with the original Ferrero Rocher, the all-time Christmas Limited Edition Rocherone and the Christmas Pyramid is back and shelved in the Pasticceria Ferrero. But I highly recommend that you give the limited edition ones a try. :)

The Pasticceria Ferrero is only available for a limited period during this festive season. From the 27^th of November 2014, Singaporeans will have the opportunity to create their own Precious Moments in the Pasticceria Ferrero at Orchard Road’s Wisma Atria. So be sure to come over early, before they head back to Italy ~

More photos of the sweet newly weds as well as what went down at the launch, can be viewed below...

[What's New] Say Hi To INGLOT~

Hi Huneybees,

Yay! No more having to travel to Malaysia for INGLOT. Latest beauty brand in town is INGLOT! This October marks the opening of INGLOT's first store in Singapore! It is located at Wisma Atria #B1-14 and I was down at their opening day to check out the goodies as well as to catch the make-up demo by INGLOT's top makeup artist - Ela Kocot.

Ela Kocot working her magic...

It was super crowded that day, I don't know how many times I have said "Excuse me", but from the amazing response, you know how great the brand is. :)

Their shades cover even for the darker skin toned...

INGLOT has been around for over 30 years and it was founded in a small town of Przemyśl, Poland. They are now one of the world's leading manufacturers in colour cosmetics, showcasing their work on the runways of Fashion Week to the stages and sets of TV and Broadway musicals, with over 450 boutique stores, stands and retail locations internationally.

You can even bring their fragrance cakes along in your Freedom System palettes!

You know how I love my colours and INGLOT is definitely like my wonderland. One thing I love about their cosmetics is its signature Freedom System. With a palette on hand, you can assemble the custom designed eyeshadow, cheek colours and face powder. It is very easy to travel around with the colours that you need and I find them especially handy when it comes to travelling!

With their wide range of lipstick shades, you are bound to find the right shade for yourself. I even found 2 blue lipsticks (288 & 291) that will definitely come in handy during Halloween or you can also start play art with mixing your own lipstick shade!

And talking about Halloween, why not check out their array of bright and fluttery false eyelashes that can help you transform into any of the characters you have in mind?

Also, not forgetting the full range of the revolutionary O2M Breathable Nail Enamel. They ensure oxygen and water vapor permeability, giving you healthier looking nails even with consistent nail painting.
