New in: Super cheap Charles & Keith shoes

I was getting quite antsy because Chinese New Year is coming and I don't know what I should wear! I figured I should start on the shoe front and so I was browsing carousell for nice wedges and I chanced upon a seller who was selling a pair of damn chio and brand new Charles & Keith wedges for S$20, so yes I chatted with her for a while. 

Then, I went to the Charles & Keith website to check out the sale section and I FOUND THE EXACT SAME PAIR GOING FOR S$12.90!! I immediately apologised to the seller, cancelled the transaction and browsed the entire sale section. WOW. It's basically like Anchorpoint Charles & Keith prices! However, the website design is quite user-unfriendly. I filtered by price but kept getting the entire list of sale shoes. 

Anyway, if you want to look at those heavily discounted shoes, just keep scrolling down lah, you will find them in the end. I looked through 1000+ listings twice! When there's a will, there's a way okay. Initially I had so many pairs opened in new tabs, but most of them had size 38 out of stock. Blessing in disguise, I guess...for my bank account. 

So yes, I bought two pairs of shoes for freaking cheap. S$12.90 for the wedges and S$16.90 for the loafers. Delivery is quite steep (S$9.90!), but aiyah both pairs totaled to less than S$30 anyway, so I just checked out. 

To be honest, I'd rather go to Anchorpoint to check out the Charles & Keith outlet, but since I'm sadly busy these days, the online store sale section will suffice!

Talking about Chinese New Year - I used to have no visiting at all, hence I didn't need to worry about my outfit since I would be a sloth at home anyway, but now, I need to visit ky's relatives and I'm going back to Indonesia too. So I will need two nice outfits. Alamak. Shoes settled and now clothes! What to wear?? At times like these ah, I wish I'm as skinny and lanky as my sister because wear anything also nice one leh.

Such first world problems haha.

Have a good day guys! :)

The Body Shop Atrium Sale Haul (Chinatown Point)

The Body Shop had an atrium sale last week at Chinatown Point and the prices were too good to miss! It's not like the usual in-store sales; this is like the annual warehouse sale where you can get up to 70% discount! 

I always wanted to try the Tea Tree Cleansing Wipes, and they were going for Buy-1-Get-1-Free, so I grabbed a couple... 

The Body Shop's Body Butters are luxurious and costly. They are usually S$30.90-S$32.90, and I got these two for S$10 each! Score!!

This is my new favourite body scrub - Cocoa Butter Cream Body Scrub. Smells just like chocolate!!! I think I bought this for S$19.90.

4 mini shower gels for S$10. Not bad for travelling.

I needed a more potent eye serum for whitening my dark circles, so I was glad that the Moisture White Shiso Eye Serum was on sale for S$15!

I spent more than S$60, so I was gifted the Spa Fit Toning Concentrate.

It was quite a good sale! I was tempted to go back on another day, but I resisted. Good job to me for resisting! Till next time, TBS! 

Note: The atrium sale has ended. 

The Body Shop "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" Sale (June 2014)

Whenever The Body Shop has their "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale, I always use the opportunity to stock up on skincare necessities. 

My skincare routine can no longer do without the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion, Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion and the Tea Tree Oil. I got the below loots for S$61.80. The salesperson was very nice, she gave me some Tea Tree Oil and Vitamin E Moisture Cream samples. Actually, I think this is the first time I have ever received free samples from The Body Shop. 

She gave me 3 Tea Tree Oil samples, each with 1ml of product - pretty generous, considering that the full-sized Tea Tree Oil contains only 10ml of product! 

If you have necessities to stock up on, don't miss out this opportunity! The sale ends on 15 June 2014 and the sale does not apply to gift sets, 50ml Drops of Youth and the InstaBlur.

I now have accumulated S$10 of redeemable cash on my Perkd Love Your Body Club (The Body Shop Membership). More savings the next time! YAY!

Etude House Warehouse Sale 2013 Haul

I chanced upon the Etude House Warehouse Sale at Tanjong Pagar Xpress and the salesgirl told me it's the last day today. So yes, I grabbed the opportunity to get some of the Etude House products that I have always wanted but never bought because of how ridiculously expensive the retail prices were.

These Dear My Deep Color Nails nailpolishes were going for 2 for S$4. 

The Proof 10 Mascara was S$10. 

The Proof 10 Liquid Liner was S$7, and the Oh~ m'Eye Lash Petticoat was S$3!  

Lastly, I got the Lovely Cookie Blusher for S$5! 

Can't wait to use them all! Some Etude House products are really of great quality, but seriously the retail prices are wayyy too marked up! I'm sure yes we are paying for shop rental, import costs etc., but aiyoh it's supposed to be a drugstore brand, no? I don't want to pay department store prices for a drugstore product!

So hooray to warehouse sales!! If you still want to grab some Etude House stuff, the sale is still ongoing till about 8pm tonight! I don't think they will be restocking any more items though, so expect a limited variety of products.

Late night hauling (MDS Collections & The Scarletroom)

So I just spent S$40 on the following items from MDS Collections and The Scarletroom. Online sales are quite awesome. :D 

Now I have choices for Chinese New Year! Yes, maybe not the black dress from Scarletroom, but it's always good to have a black dress in my collection! This particular black dress also looks demure from the front, but oohlala it's all mesh + cut outs at the back. :D Obviously, I will wear pretty tanktops/bralets/camisoles underneath it, can't wait to wear it!! :) 

S$12.60 (originally S$42)

Watsons Members Sale (27/12/2012) Haul

I woke up and dashed to Bukit Panjang Plaza for the Watsons Members Sale today! Didn't even apply my war paint, just specs and bare face. 

Watsons Members Sales are always a must-go for me because I can then stock up on my necessities but at lower prices! 

This time, the sale was also quite good, with quite a few of cosmetic bundles - my favourite because I get to try many products for S$9.90 per bundle. 

Here is what I bought! Other than the two cosmetic bundles which were S$9.90 each, the rest were going at 30% off their retail prices! I bought the Fisherman's Friend (S$1.60) to top up my entire purchase to S$50 so that I can get more points for my card. Heehee. In total I spent $51! 

Kate Cosmetics bundle includes an eyeshadow palette and a double-ended eye pencil.

ZA Cosmetics bundle contains a lipstick, a mirror, an eye & lip makeup remover and an eyeshadow palette.

I spent more than S$30 and I was the first 100 in the store, hence I was entitled to redeem a free goodie bag! Yay Watsons! :)

LOL at this TVXQ mug.

I just took photos of all the cosmetic products and I can't wait to do product reviews! Hoorah Watsons! :)
