Last week, I attended Futuromic Imaging 2010 in Times Square which was organised by Futuromic Photo AV Sdn Bhd for the first time.Futuromic is the exclusive sole distributor of Nikon, Sandisk, Ricoh, Tamron, Mitsubishi and many more in nationwide!

The aims of the company and objective of organising such event is to bring together the local photography fratenity to a hands-on experience of "feel and touch" on the wide range of photographic products that they distribute. And as this is a brand promoting event, they are not doing any sale at the fair itself. And there are pretty brand ambassadors doing catwalk with the products from the brands that Futuromic carries. Let the picture do the talking

Baviphat is also endorsed by F.T. Island (Korean: 에프티 아일랜드), Five Treasure Island, or FTI, is a famous five member South Korean band. The name F.T. Island stands for 'Five Treasure Island ( info from wikipedia) .

This is Ms. Fiona Kim the CEO of Baviphat which I met in the product testing session. Although she is a Korean , but she speaks fluent English. She shared that Baviphat is an inexpensive Korean cosmetics for skincare and makeup that has been in the Korea for about 2 years.
