The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda

Like what you see in the video? This is just a preview of what happened during the AKG, JBL & Harman Kardon event a while back!


Here's Yingming (closet Swiftie - woohooo!!!) who gave us an introduction to the Harman brands!
Harman has earned 144 design awards! Amazing right?! In just 2015, Harman has won the Red Dot Design, IF Design Awards, and CES Innovation Awards!! 


JBL is all about PASSION - sound that amplifies life. For more than 60 years, JBL has delivered products that's ergonomically user friendly with interesting & unexpected details. 
It's perfect for tech savvy, busy, and spontaneous people because it has a wide range of products that's perfect for any location and situation! Whether it's at home, outside, in the car, boat, or at a BBQ - JBL has a product that's catered to your needs.

This brand is about GRACE - producing pure, realistic sound. It's perfect for settled families or professionals who have the taste of quality over quantity. For more than 50 years, Harman Kardon has been delivering a world-class experience with products using premium material that looks beautiful, sophisticated, and chic.

AKG is about - CREATIVITY. Born in Vienna, Austria - it incorporates the Scandinavian design which is all about being functional, simple and bold, it releases one's creative spirit. AKG is loved by artists like Kanye West, Frank Sinatra, Missy Elliott, and Madonna. 

If you're serious about music - AKG is the brand for you!




Now it's time for the fun part!!
Introducing the products!!!!
It's so colorful~ I love it!


JBL Clip Plus (SGD $99)
This small, portable speaker can be easily clipped onto a handbag, bagpack, or your pants! It's great for your daily life and for outdoor activities! 

Say hello to Andy! He explained and demonstrated all the product!  


JBL Flip III (SGD $179)
This is an all-purpose speaker that's perfect for the outdoors! Just like the other speakers in the JBL range, the Flip III is also splash-proof! Just connect to to your music device by bluetooth and enjoy! 

Andy demonstrated how shockproof the speakers were by...
Dropping a few on the floor!!! I honestly got the shock of my life because I'm still traumatized from a recent drop accident. My new camera committed suicide by falling off the table and I had to get it fixed. (இдஇ; )

ANYWAYS! The speakers were fine and I'm sure I wasn't the only one that was impressed.


JBL Charge II Plus SGD $279
This baby isn't just a speaker but it can charge your music device (or phone) too!!! 
It can support up to 12 hours of playtime and charge multiple devices.

This is GREAT for long trips, BBQs, and poolside parties!

Were you impressed with the Charge II Plus? This baby supports up to 15hours of play time and charges 

It comes with a strap so that it's easy to carry around.



JBL Pulse (SGD $329)
THIS WAS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE PRODUCT! Very biased... I know because it's so pretty! The colorful LED lights blink in tune to the music and you can also change the colors too!

Can't get over how pretty it is... (゚¬゚) 




After the event...
Photobooth time!!! Hello props! ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ *grabs the blue headphones*

With Rosental! Aren't the headphones super cute?!
We met at the Panasonic event previously and it was an unforgettable moment in the lift LOL!! 

I also met Lydia! My goodness her IG photos are EPIC! She had a cupcake in her hand and I found out that she came to the event on her birthday! 




At the event we were given a special gift that was hand-selected for each one of us who attend the event! Super sweet of them right?
I was so happy to see the blue headphones because blue is my favorite color  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡
As for the Y23 earphones I gave it to the kareshi because he needed new earphones!

Hello my new baby! (ღ✪v✪)
I've been using it for a while now and I love how it fits perfectly on my head and the music sounds amazing ♪ Super tempted to get a wireless headphone now too...

After a long day at work/partying/supper, all you want to do is to hit the bed and SLEEP! 
BUT DON'T GO TO BED IF YOU HAVEN'T REMOVED YOUR MAKEUP!!
If you sleep with your makeup on, you'll be damaging your poor skin! It can cause your skin to age faster, pores to be clogged (leading to bigger pores), and breakouts! So what everyone needs is a makeup remover that removes ALL the makeup quickly and thoroughly.

This is when Biore's NEW Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover comes to the rescue!
I'm pretty sure everyone's heard of Biore before and have used a Biore makeup remover
AT LEAST ONCE in your life. Well. this new and improved jelly makeup remover makes sure that you're skin is ready to enjoy a good night sleep!



ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The new Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is back with even smoother & lighter texture but with the same cleansing power that effortlessly dissolves & lifts off makeup.


HOW TO USE
To achieve the best results, apply the makeup remover on dry face (and hands). 
Don't use a cotton pad or tissue. 

1. Pump an appropriate amount (around 2-3 pumps) onto your hands
2. Spread it evenly over you face & eye area
3. Massage gently to dissolve the makeup
4. Rinse it off!



BEFORE/AFTER
This is my natural(ish) makeup because I applied a darker shade of lipstick on my lips so it's easier to tell the difference. FYI I have foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lipstick on. 
My natural makeup came off really easily and I loved how refreshed my skin felt!

Although I was impressed with how well it removed my natural makeup, I wanted to test the Jelly Makeup Remover by making it go up against the ラスボス
('lasu bosu' - the last boss you fight in a game situation).
All my super waterproof makeups! It includes mascara, eyeliners, lip stick/tattoo, and eye shadow. The mascara, eyeliners, and lip tattoo are usually really hard for me to remove with my other non-oil based makeup removers so this was definitely a challenge.

So to prove that it's waterproof, I only applied the makeup remover on the middle section of the swatches.

Gently massaged the middle section of the swatches...


Placed it under running water WITHOUT massaging it to prove how waterproof the makeup is.

Tadah! With just a gentle massage and quick rinse under the water you can see that the Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover was able to remove all of the waterproof makeup! As for the lip tattoo, the middle is slightly lighter than the ends and the fact that it was able to make a difference is impressive (not even my oil-based makeup remover can remove it).



VERDICT?
If you also tried & weren't impressed with the previous jelly makeup remover...
YOU NEED TO TRY THE NEW ONE!!
To be completely honest I was also iffy about the product because I wasn't really happy with the previous jelly makeup remover, but this has completely won me over! I just love how it feels like watery jelly, able to remove waterproof makeup, doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy, and includes beauty essences!! 
I also love the overall design of the bottle! I realized a lot of makeup removers have the 'clean/simple' bottle design but Biore knows what girls want! The pink x dark brown bottle with the pink swirly deco... I love it!!

The New Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover ($24.90/230ml) is available at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores, and western pharmacies & departmental stores!
