Japan! Osaka: Universal Studios Japan Halloween 2016


Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-178
For the fun-loving traveller looking to experience the most out of Osaka, a visit to Universal Studios Japan is a must! Despite having been to Universal Studios Japan once before (read my first blog post on Universal Studios Japan here!), my second visit was even more enjoyable and fun with all the new happenings for Universal Studio Japan's 15th Anniversary as well as special Halloween attractions and festivities!

How To Buy Tickets for Universal Studios Japan


I'm so glad to share that I found out the easiest way to purchase tickets for USJ!

More interestingly, JTB offers an exclusive Universal Studios Japan® x ABENO HARUKAS Premium Package that you can't get anywhere else!

The amazing view at the Helipad at Abeno Harukas - The tallest skyscraper in Japan. More in an upcoming post!
Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-128
The best part of the Universal Studios Japan® x ABENO HARUKAS Premium Package has got to be the exclusive special entry via the Harukasu Gate: This gives you first access to the entire theme park while all the other theme park visitors have to wait in line to enter one by one!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-129
When I arrived early in the morning, there were long snaking queues forming outside the entrances already.

Harukasu Gate

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-132
Those with the Universal Studios Japan® x ABENO HARUKAS exclusive entry ticket were able to dash right in once the park opened - via the Special Entry Harukasu Gate! This allows you first access into the themed park, and you can make a mad dash to the most popular area: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (for which a timed ticket is required if it gets too crowded during peak season!)

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-139
September/October has got to be the best time to visit Universal Studios Japan, thanks to all the Halloween festivities going on during October!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-135
I love seeing all the theme park visitors dressed up in intricate Halloween costumers - It's amazing how much effort is put into having coordinated outfits like this group of girls above.

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-179
Isn't the effort to detail just astonishing?

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-141
My favourite place of all in the whole of Universal Studios Japan and the first place to rush to: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! I'm a true blue Potter Head!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-142
Every corner of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter fills me with delight, such as seeing a real-life Zonko's (the joke shop from the series)!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-144
The attention to detail within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is just incredible! Spot those owls perched in the wooden beams above!

Wand Magic

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-145
One really cool thing I got to experience at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was Wand Magic!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-148
With one of the Magical Wands purchased from Ollivander's, you can perform magic and cast spells around Hogsmeade!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-146
These designated spots are where you can perform different magical spells and incantations!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-149
A friendly witch guided us through the spell incantation, right down to the arm movement required to cast a successful spell!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-151
My attempt at casting a spell.. INCENDIO!!

Imagine my delight when flames burst out from the chimney top on my third attempt!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-153
The best view of Hogwarts is definitely from The Hog's Head, where you can see the stunning reflection in the Great Lake (Only at Universal Studios Japan)!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-154
Enjoying my Butterbeer at The Hog's Head!

Oh yes, you MUST try the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ in 4K3D! It's one of the best rides ever and I loved how immersive and realistic it was.

We headed over to Jurassic Park next!

New Attraction: The Flying Dinosaur

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-156
For the thrill-seekers, The Flying Dinosaur is yet another new ride at Universal Studios Japan that wasn't there the last time I visited!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-157
The Flying Dinosaur is the world's longest flying rollercoaster and it was absolutely exhilarating! The high-speed twists and drops were super thrilling and fun, it wasn't as scary as I expected too! A must-try for the rollercoaster lovers! :D

"Dinosaur Panic!"

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-159
One of the street shows to look out for at Jurassic Park is "Dinosaur Panic!", during which you'll get to see the most incredibly realistic dinosaurs up-close!

Lunch at Discovery Restaurant

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-162
We had our lunch at Discovery Restaurant within Jurassic Park!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-163
We were so hungry that we gobbled up these jungle-themed food like carnivorous dinosaurs!

Re-boooooooorn! Party

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-164
It being the 15th year anniversary of Universal Studios Japan, there were so many celebrations under way, and main theme is "Re-born!"!

Being "Re-born!" is the act of breaking out of one's shell. Not only reclaiming a pure heart, but also grasping that simple sense of excitement we had as children. Through this state of mind, people can be emotionally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-165
At the "Re-born!" party, where everyone was dancing, singing and jumping along enthusiastically to the performances and music! Love love love the high atmosphere!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-168
Some of the jaw-dropping dress-ups I spotted!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-169
Love this family of four that dressed up their kids in Halloween costumes too, how adorable!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-170
The energy and excitement was so palpable that I couldn't help joining in the dancing and fun!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-171
Of course, the ever popular Minions were around to incite laughter and gaiety during the party!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-172
More cute kids all dressed up!

Halloween Re-boooooooorn! Market

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-173
Of course, Halloween is nothing without Trick or Treating! At the festive "Re-born!" Halloween Market, there was lots of snacks and food to buy, including the ever popular turkey leg, but with a special Halloween twist!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-175
Spin the wheel of fortune and win a giant up-sized turkey leg if you get lucky!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-176
Just look at that mammoth leg of turkey (on the left) as compared to the regular-sized turkey leg on the right!! Even the two of us had difficulty finishing one giant turkey leg on our own!

Universal RE-BOOOOOOOORN Parade

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-180
Yet another highlight of the day has got to be the Universal RE-BOOOOOOOORN Parade!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-181
The atmosphere was so so lively and vivacious as everyone clapped, danced and sang along unrestrainedly along with the performers and characters!

Minions "BEE-DO!" Rescue

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-183
Don't miss out on Minions "BEE-DO!" Rescue, another funny and entertaining street show that had us tickled silly with the Minions' funny antics!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-184
I'm so looking forward to the new Minions area that will be opening in 2017, along with a Minions theme ride!! Big fan here, as you can tell. Hehe!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-185
More Halloween fun in the form of these Halloween Churritos with spooky decorations!

It was delicious too, or maybe I was just plain hungry!

Tatari Haunted House at J-Horror

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-187
For the first time this year, Universal Studios Japan debuted a new "J-Horror" area with a Japanese-style haunted house!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-188
Although we had experienced The Exorcist haunted house earlier in the day and had already gotten scared out of our wits, Tatari – Curse of the Living Doll was yet another heart-pounding experience! Suffice to say that half our group (especially the Japanese ladies) ran out shrieking at the frights and scares we experienced inside Tatari!

Death Eaters Appearance In Hogsmeade

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-192
Before dinner time, we headed back to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for one more exciting event!

Just for Halloween, we were treated to a magnificent duel between Death Eaters and Hogsmeade that started off spectacularly with a flash of green explosion (to mimic the Dark Mark!) before a chase ensured through Hogsmeade as we watched the two sides fight in earnest!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-191
It was another unforgettable moment for a Potter head like myself, and I was so thrilled and overwhelmed to feel like I was living in my favourite storybook of all time!

Dining at Park Side Grille

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-193
We had a really good dinner at Parkside Grille - The food was sumptuous!! Here's my grilled live lobster that was so sweet and fresh!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-194
YZ's huge slab of steak that was juicy and tender as well. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality, I wasn't expecting very much from theme park food but everything we had was above and beyond my expectations!

Street Zombies

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-196
Of course, one of the most iconic sights during Halloween at Universal Studios Japan is the appearance of zombies and undead once night falls.. These zombies are extremely life-like and they roam the streets terrorising unsuspecting passersby by suddenly lunging in their direction or chasing after them!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-198
More undead scenes on the streets of Universal Studios Japan, this female zombie was feeding off a human and the scene was indeed grotesque!

It was seriously a fun, fun day at Universal Studios Japan and I enjoyed every single second of my day in the theme park!


Staying at Hotel Universal Port

For the most convenient and fun theme park experience at Universal Studios Japan, we stayed at Hotel Universal Port, located right next to the theme park!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-1
It's literally just across the road, and took us barely a few minutes to get to the theme park from the hotel!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-202
The hotel lobby is adorned with minions galore, all dressed up for Halloween too in their vampire capes! Too cute!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-2
Do you spy those minions amongst the fishes within the full-length aquarium at the reception area?

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-121
Our comfortable hotel room!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-122
So glad that the bathroom came with a bathtub for me to soak in after a long day of walking non-stop around Universal Studios Japan!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-126
And possibly the best amenities I've ever seen in a hotel: They were packaged so nicely too!! Everything from hair ties to disposable shavers were provided for us!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-124
Yet another thoughtful Japanese gesture: herbal relaxing sheets for relaxing sore muscles!! These were a godsend and I happily stuck these on my sore legs after a nice hot bath. What bliss!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-199
Don't miss out on the tantalising spread for breakfast at Port Dining ricorico, we enjoyed our breakfast so very much there!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-200
Especially loved the Japanese selection of food, from Japanese rice and condiments to takoyaki that came in its own little paper boat!

Universal-Studios-Japan-Oct-2016-201
With my happy travel companion who enjoyed Universal Studios Japan with me very much!!

It was the best time of my life at Universal Studios Japan! :D

The Beginner's Guide To Holiday Photography

Many friends and readers constantly ask me about holiday photography and camera tips, so here I am, sharing my tips and hacks on how to take the best holiday photos for your own personal collection as well as social media, from what kind of shots to take, to tips and tricks on getting your money shot!

Personally, I never leave the country without my trusty camera (it’s the one thing I would NEVER travel without, apart from my passport, cash and credit cards) and it goes with me everywhere I go without fail!

On my last trip to Japan a couple weeks ago, armed with my Olympus E-PL8 - A camera brand that I've been faithful to for the past six years and counting!

Olympus E-PL8 is the latest version of the Pen Lite and comes with an aesthetic redesign, including a new grip and a fresh top plate! I love how the design of the E-PL just keeps getting sleeker with its modern rounded body lines.

You're setting off on your trip, camera in hand and at a total loss for what to do with it. Fret not! Let me take you through the 7 kinds of must-take travel photos for any beginner looking to get the best out of your camera and your holiday --- Ready? Let's go!

The Beginner's Guide To Holiday Photography!

1. The Plane Shot

Every trip starts with a flight, and there's no better way to document a holiday than with a super awesome shot taken on the plane.

Just look at that infinite bed of fluffy marshmallow clouds!

Getting a great plane shot can be tricky and it's not so much about camera settings or skills but more of ensuring that you're in the right place at the right time - I almost always try to book myself a window seat on my flight. 

Red eye flights also give you the opportunity to possibly catch a breathtaking sunrise or sunset if you get lucky! Generally though, you can't go wrong with a mid-air shot, Earth really does look stunning from 36000 feet in the air.

2. The Landscape/Street Shot

Once you've reached your destination, establish which part of the world you're in as well as how exciting the foreign sights are with a landscape shot - Be it bustling city or lush nature, it's bound to make your friends and followers green with envy!

At night, neon street signs and lots of lights always look fantastic, especially when you're in a vibrant and lively part of town, such as Dotonbori! A wide-angle landscape shot can capture all the bustle and hustle of the city, as well as show off interesting architecture. In the case of Dotonbori, giant signboards and neon lights are signature of the area!

Cityscape views are also enthralling, so if you visit somewhere with a vantage point like Harukas 300 at Abeno Harukas, don't be shy and start snapping away! This shot was taken just as the city lights lit up and the sun was still in the midst of setting. Breath-taking, isn't it?

Of course, nature shots are a must when you visit parks or venture out of the city to more picturesque views! Even a simple shot such as this one taken at Nara, outside Todaiji Temple, looks stunning and peaceful with the calming view of lush greenery and calm waters. An iconic free-roaming deer of Nara also makes an appearance in this photo, making the shot more interesting and recognisable!

3. The Famous Landmark Shot

Speaking of iconic, every country and city is bound to have a few of their most iconic sights and places! These may often be touristy, but there's a reason why they're famous world-wide.

For example, Osaka Castle is one of the most popular hotspots in Osaka and it's truly awe-inspiring especially on a clear day! 

When taking pictures of busy iconic spots, try to find a way to minimise the distracting crowds in your photo by looking for a good angle (like above, I framed this shot such that the humans would not distract from the landmark), or just be really hardworking and wake up super early to reach the place before entire busloads of tourists start arriving!

The famous Glico Man signboard along Dotonbori is pretty much surrounded by people 24/7, so in this instance, embrace the human elements and get them into the frame! Spot that couple taking a wefie in the bottom right of the picture?

One of my favourite shots from the trip is the one above, taken at Hogwarts in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios Japan! It looks extra beautiful because of the way the magnificent structure mirror reflects in the water. 

Water bodies always create photos with an extra dimension if you can capture a reflection shot. It doesn't even have to be a lake or pond, even a puddle of water on the ground can help to achieve this effect when taken at the right angles!

4. The Selfie/Wefie

A selfie taken with no context can come across as narcissistic and boring, but when you're travelling, all can be forgiven - It's the best way to document your adventures and to show off your happy and fun times abroad!

When it comes to selfies/wefies, the best way to take 'em is to just grin and have fun! I treasure my Olympus E-PL8 so much because of its useful 180 degree-flip down LCD screen, I know that I'm in absolute control of how I look and don't have to frame my shot blindly!

What's awesome about my Olympus E-PL8 too is that it's optimised for touch-selfie shooting, and comes with a grip on the front of the camera that aids in taking selfies more comfortably. There's also a variety of touch operations on screen for easier access like the E-Portrait button (automatically smoothens your skin), custom self-timer, brightness adjustment and a shutter release, all to aid selfie-taking!!

Make your selfie interesting, don't just limit your subjects to humans! I took a selfie with the Harukas 300 bear mascot who definitely made my selfie a whole lot more adorable!

Or how about a selfie with one of the deer at Nara? (This was before said deer began rummaging through my bag forcefully, looking for my chocolate biscuits. TSK) Which brings me to the next point:

5. The Cute Animal Or Kid Shot

Somehow, animals are always cuter overseas, especially when it's an animal you don't see very often back in your home country! It's an extra dose of cuteness too, when you document down human versus animal interaction but IMPORTANT NOTE: Only applicable to tamed animals.. Please do NOT try to interact with the lions and panthers in South Africa or get a shark selfie off the coast of Australia!

The deer at Nara Park are reasonably tamed unless you get a ravenous, rabid deer that's hungry for some deer biscuits!

The super adorbs owls in Lucky Owl Cafe at Dotonbori also make for a fun and photogenic experience, hoot hoot!

It doesn't have to be just cute animals. Japanese school kids are so endearing and make for a wonderful picture as well, especially dressed up in theme for Halloween in these winsome outfits!

6. The Food Shot

To me, a huge part of travelling is about the food! It's only right that I take pictures of everything I eat, especially when the presentation is as awesome balls as the way the Japanese do it.

One of the best kinds of food pictures has gotta be the "hand held" food shot, which works especially well for street food or any kind of food eaten on-the-go! Here's the pineapple candy soft serve I enjoyed at Abeno Harukas, against an out-of-focus background of the cityscape.

These takoyaki balls at Dotonbori look so good that they make me want to eat them right off the screen! 

Table flat lays also work very well for food photos, especially when there's a spread of different food and items on the table. There is a technique to taking a good table flat lay, but more often than not, it involves clambering atop your chair for the highest-angle shot you can get, HAHA. Props to my Olympus E-PL8's handy flip-screen again because it makes capturing a good flatlay a lot easier!

7. The OOTD shot

I confess to being one of thousands of millennials enamoured with taking OOTDs (otherwise known as Outfit of the Day). Well, I went to all that trouble to dress up and look stylish, why not take a great photo of myself, walking down a street in a foreign land like its my very own fashion runway?

It must be the Japanese air (or the Japanese camera), because OOTDs always look good on any street in Japan! PRO-TIP: For the perfect street shot, look for a narrow street with lots of interesting looking signboards – these settings makes any OOTD shots appear the best in photographs!

With some patience and effort, you can even get an OOTD with an iconic landmark like the Osaka Castle! You might also have noticed the utilisation of the "water reflection" in this shot, it really makes the photo look extra picturesque and tranquil. 

Psst, this secret spot is at the garden off to the left of Osaka Castle, it's a lot less crowded there and the surface of the pond reflects a stunning image of Osaka Castle!

One level up from the basic OOTD is the Couple OOTD shot! If you're travelling with your other half, this works even better if your outfits are co-ordinated hehe. Doesn't have to be overly obvious or corny, we just had matching elements like our white sneakers and a common colour palette!

For a sweet couple shot, simply hold hands and smile! Alternatively, do something crazy with your expressions/poses or just go all out and pucker up for the camera for a candid and natural shot!

General Tips & Tricks

*Keep Snapping Away!

Remember, we're now in the era of digital cameras and memory cards - Memory card space is FREE! Just keep snapping away if you don't have a shot that you're pleased with yet, you can always vet through for the best shot afterwards. Bring a spare memory card so you don't have to worry about running out of space!

*Look For Natural Light

The best photos come from great lighting conditions. I always prefer natural day light, be it the soft back light of evening or just sunny day light, it always looks better than artificial lighting whenever possible! I also hardly use direct flash unless necessary, it is just harsh and unflattering under most circumstances.

*Use Art Filters/Edit Your Photos

Don't be scared to experiment with different modes! For instance, the Olympus E-PL8 comes with various Art Filters that can be used for different colour treatments and effects!

Those Art Filters really help to intensify the mood of a shot, or bring out the best colours, depending on how you use it. There are also so many phone apps available nowadays for photo-editing that are super easy to use, so you have no excuse!

*Get A Tripod/Ask For Help

It can be a challenge to get photos together with your holiday companion(s), so if you've already taken one too many wefies, gather up your courage to look for a kindred soul to help! PRO-TIP: Look for another tourist who's holding a big camera and politely ask for help - 7/10 times you'll get a great photo.. As for the remaining 3 times... Let's just say that not everyone holding a big camera turns out to be a professional LOL.

Or, do as we did and travel with your own tripod in tow! Armed with the Olympus E-PL8 and its wifi remote/self-timer function, it can work wonders for awesome photos! Just remember not to turn your back to the tripod/camera especially in more dangerous countries because that could be the last time you ever see your camera and tripod again D:


*Have Fun With Your Camera!

Explore your camera functions thoroughly and know it well so as to make full use of it! 

One good example is the Olympus E-PL8's dedicated video record button in selfie-mode as well as a new in-camera "Clips" function that allows you to join up 4 second videos into a mini movie - music included! This would make for wonderful and easy vlogs/selfie videos!

Remember that your camera is there to help you create precious memories for you to look back upon years later, so don't get caught up with trying to take artistically perfect images all the time. Use the camera as a digital tool to remember your trip by, the good moments and the bad, the mundane and the extraordinary. 

Most importantly, ENJOY the process and have lots of fun capturing those images whilst having a fabulous time on holiday!

That's the end of my beginner's guide to holiday photography! Hopefully, this little guide has been of help! If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to leave me a comment and I would be happy to read/help!

The Olympus E-PL8 is my ideal travel companion. It's light and compact yet capable of high-quality images, plus it comes with a flip screen for easy selfies and the almighty wifi function!

The Anti-Aging Miracle Duo

Aging is a scary thing. I remember my 21st birthday party like it was yesterday: It was a big and happy affair celebrating my adulthood and coming of age! 
My 21st birthday party!
On the day that I turned 21, being an adult never felt better. The world was my oyster, with so many dreams and big plans for my life. There were years and years of youth ahead of me and the number 30 seemed so far away.

Eight birthdays have passed since then, and I'm left wondering how the years flew by so swiftly and suddenly! As much as I hate to admit it, I'm no longer that young thing from years ago, fresh-faced and youthful.

岁月不留人啊。。。(Time and tide waits for no man..)

That being said, having grown older by 8 years isn't necessarily a bad thing: I'm at a more stable place in my life, and I'm truly happy doing what I do! Age has given me the gift of wisdom and gratitude for the people around me. I'm also constantly reminded never to take anything for granted, and that includes youthful good looks!

I believe that staying youthful is a state of mind that starts with maintaining a positive outlook on life. That aside, it's equally important to take care of yourself physically, and that includes a healthy lifestyle, and a proper skincare regime to tackle signs of anti-aging.

I can't emphasize enough how crucial it is to take care of your skin, especially more so if you're in your mid-20s to late-20s. Loss of collagen and volume that causes sagging, fine lines and wrinkles will give away your age more than anything else. It's never too early to start fighting those signs of anti-aging. I'm really starting to worry about my age showing, especially with the stress my skin undergoes with my frequent jet-setting and heavy exposure to the elements. My skin's been dull, dehydrated and tired, which makes me look older and more haggard :(

Thankfully, a good skincare regime doesn't have to be elaborate. Take for instance, the Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo!

I've been trying Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and Micro-Sculpting Cream for some time now, and am absolutely impressed with these two products!

First, the new Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence. Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence should be used right after your face has been thoroughly cleansed, followed by Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.

Olay-Duo-4
Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence comes with a handy auto-dropper applicator for convenient dispensing of the product.

The first drop starts renewal of a million surface cells and helps visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles and pores and firms the skin. It is designed to boost the penetration of anti-aging actives of your moisturizer and boost cell renewal for a stunning, youthful skin that looks up to 10 years younger! 

The texture is fabulous! It's light-weight and absorbs so quickly in a matter of seconds. There's a faint pleasant fragrance to it as well, which I like. Once it is absorbed, my skin feels softer and more supple straight away! All I do is to apply and pat it in gently all over my face, easy peasy.

Olay-Duo-7
Of course, the true magic happens when Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence is used in conjunction with Olay’s award winning Regenerist Micro-sculpting Cream. With the use of Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence, your skin is able to receive TWO TIMES the amount of key active penetration into your epidermis (outermost layer of your skin) for stunning and youthful skin!

After Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence, follow up with Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream to complete the Miracle Duo!

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream contains an advanced Amino-Peptide Complex that penetrates deep into the skin’s surface to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is also formulated with hyaluronic acid, amino-peptides and Vitamin B3. It hydrates to help plump cells from within the skin’s surface. The luxurious-feeling moisturizer immediately softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while firming the look of skin with plumping hydration.

Olay-Duo-8
It promises to reduces the look of 10 years of wrinkles in just 4 weeks by plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation!

I was expecting a thicker and heavier consistency, but the Micro-Sculpting Cream practically melts into the skin upon application!

Olay-Duo-10
A small amount goes a long way, and just a dab of cream is enough for my entire face. 

Olay-Duo-12
It's amazing how my skin feels so moisturised and plump after Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream! Immediately, the appearance of the fine lines under my eyes are reduced as well.

Olay-Duo-1
Although I haven't been using Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo for very long yet, I can see a significant difference. My skin feels firmer, suppler and so much more hydrated! These two products really work together very well!

Olay-Duo-14
Love how radiant and plump my skin looks, thanks to Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo!

Olay-Duo-17
Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and Micro-Sculpting Cream can be purchased at Watsons and Guardian stores from 1st November 2016.

Alternatively, you can get it very conveniently delivered to your doorstep via Lazada! When you buy on Lazada, you'll get a 30% discount on Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream (promotion only in the month of November)!
