Collective Haul: Guardian + SaSa+ Guardian + Watsons + Body Shop
I'm back for a brief moment... This week has been stressful. It's like living in a different time zone and suffering the effects of jetlag when I didn't even leave the country.
Anyway, on a lighter note, this entry would be a showcase of my collective hauls over the last few weeks from various drugstores. I won't be publishing the prices as I've lost the receipts when I accidentally put them through the shredder..
First up are some containers. Daiso Ion just opened recently and Ling introduced me to the vacuum skincare containers that she bought from there.
The design is very much prevalent in many skincare packaging but I haven seen one being sold as an empty bottle for decanting purposes. And so, I decided to get 1 to try out when I passed by Daiso Ion.
I spent a good amount of time, squatted at the container section to search for these coveted containers. Apparently, they are very popular and I only managed to find 2 of them. And so, being the kiasu singaporean, I grabbed the last 2, instead of the original 1 piece I had in mind.
The jar bottles on the right were actually from J.Low, and she got them from Hong Kong. These bottles have an additional flap (similar to Japanese Cream foundation packaging) to protect the product from drying out or leaking through the screw cap threads. Of course, such items are easily available in SGP but look at the prices!!! That's HKD15 for a pack of 2. I can probably only get 1 if I were to buy in SGP.
Next, Tsubaki Shampoo set from SaSa (S$29.00+). I've long wanted to try this range of shampoo ever since 女人我最大 introduced this during a hair care segment.

Next are sheet masks from Sasa and Guardian. I'm not usually a sheet mask person as I feel suffocated having a piece of wet "paper" over my face. But ever since I've tried the Leaders Clinic sheet masks, I've been hooked, albeit the steep price.
The mask are made of silk cellulose, which fits perfectly well along the contours of my mooncake face and doesn't drip (no mess).
SaSa was offering really good discounts on their premium sheet masks some time ago and I grabbed some of them for personal use or to be given to friends.

Went back the second time to grab a few more....
(From Left: Hakubi Q10 Mask, Beauty Talk Collagen Mask- Blue, Beauty Talk Indebenone Q10 Mask - Pink)
Next up is from Watsons. It's Maybelline's latest mascara product - Magnum Volum' Express.
And a really cute makeup pouch with feline prints.. Fell in love with at first sight.
I was complaining to J.Yeo the other day about thinning hair due to stress when she asked me about the hair brush that I use.
I was using the free plastic comb given out at those $10 per haircut shops that my dad frequents. And she was dead against that and insisted that I get a proper hair brush.
And so, I got the Body Shop hair brush that she swears by.

New Brand / Skincare: Shiseido Aqua Label + Heme
I'm happy to announce that another 2 new brands has been launched in Singapore and available thought Watsons.
The first one would be a familiar name to many. It's Shiseido drugstore brand, Aqua Label. There have been hype around this product and there was a soft launch at Tampines Mall between 21 - 27 June 2010. There are 4 lines of product.
To know more about Aqua Label, you can refer to the below for more information.

Mag's Aqua Label Price List
Next up is Heme. This is definitely one of the brand that I've been lemming for since I first saw Kevin老師 introduce it on 女人我最大 back in 2007. Finally, it has made it's way to Singapore!!!
This is a Made-In-Taiwan brand and endorsed by Taiwanese girl-band, S.H.E. So fans of S.H.E should find this brand familiar.
Brief summary of the brand's story based on Heme's Website:
I'm not sure what products Watsons has brought in but I'm definitely looking forward to the star product below.
24hr Hydrating Detox-White Night Jelly
This was the product that piqued my interest. According to the product description, this product firms, whitens, hydrates and even brightens. The usage of this product would make the skin smooth like baby's skin the next morning.
Hmmm, sounds a little too omnipotent to the point of being too-good-to-true to me. But given the price, I think it's still worth a try.
I think it's time to go shopping at Watsons again. Hopefully one day, Singapore Watsons will carry ranges that would match (Yes, match and not rival. I don't think they'll ever get to rival) their Hong Kong and Taiwanese 屈臣氏 counterparts.

Brief summary of the brand's story based on Heme's Website:
Heme was first launched in 2005. The brand name came from the combination of He+Me, targeting at the skin problems of young Taiwanese males and females. Focusing on skin issues surrounding the ages of 15-24, with simplicity as main consideration.
I'm not sure what products Watsons has brought in but I'm definitely looking forward to the star product below.

Haul: Drugstore Purchases
The next few entries would be belated posts as I've been out of action for sometime. This haul was done in mid-june, in the midst of preparing for my giveaway.
I get double points from Watsons due to my birthday month and so, I decided to stock up on some items, while getting stuff for my giveaway.
First up is the canmake eyeshadow quad (S$19.50)... For some reasons, after my first Canmake Cream Blush, I was starting to grow fond of this brand. Not to mention that it was on 20% discount.
This palette has 4 shades in total. One highlighter shade, two lavender hues and a dark color for accent. I love Japanese eyeshadow palettes, they make eyeshadow application so idiot proof that even a klutz like me can easily do it.
The photo does not give full justice to the colors. The shimmers are really pretty.
Next up are the Cleansing Express Makeup Remover Lotions Samples (S$3.95 each). The product has been on shelves for sometime but I wasn't really keen on investing the full size. The description of the product gave me the impression that it is fuss-free and can even be used on the eye area. And so, I decided to get the samples to try out before investing on the full size. There are several types to choose from and I chose the Moist and Anti-aging ones.
Next is Pure Beauty's Bon Voyage Essential Serum (S$3.95). As to why I bought it? I was enticed by the quirky packaging, which reminds me of Cargo Foundations. And yes, that was what pushed me to buy the product. Plus, as it was meant for traveling, it did not contain a lot of product. This meant a much lower price and I get to try a new product without investing a lot of money into it.
Lastly are my essentials. Neutrogena Sunblock for my body and Asience Shampoo and Conditioner set. Cant remember the prices but I know they are cheaper as they were also on discount. And yes, I'm a sun-phobic. Just like how some westerners cannot comprehend why majority of asians loves being fair, I can't understand why they like to worship the sun (usually without protection) so much.
UVA and UVB rays causes SKIN CANCER!!! I once saw a lady whose arms reflected the ravages of long-term sun exposure. It totally freaked me out and I promised myself to never leave home without sun-block.
Of course, sometimes when I'm running late or become lazy, I would skip the body sun protection. Nevertheless, it's good Vitamin D to catch some morning sun. But as soon as it's lunch-time, I would whip out sun block before I battle the afternoon sun and lunch-time crowds.

Hauls: Drugstore Finds
Aloha, more haul photos. :) This time, a trip to the local Drugstore, Watson's. Over the recent years, Watson's have expanded her products profile in Singapore at a very fast rate. Particularly the Japanese and Korean Drugstore brands. Hopefully, it would catch up with their counterparts in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Anyways, the items I bought...
First, a Scholl Feet File (S$7.75). I had one before but it broke and so, replacing with a new one. I have tried many products and this is the one that works best for me. Strong enough to rid the dead skincells, yet gentle enough to not cause any broken skin
Next is a new line of product that Watson's brought in. It's the Kiss Me range of false eyelashes (S$9.90). I bought something that looks less dramatic. By the way, does anyone know whether I should apply mascara when using false eyelases with criss-cross. If yes, how do I go about doing that?
By the way, this set comes with eyelash glue. I didn't see it because it was hidden by the opaque part of the packaging. I only saw it when I opened the box.
Next is Koji Eyelash Glue. I'm searching for a cheaper alternative to the Duo Eyelash Glue. And I had to get this tube when I saw it. It retails for S$2.90 and it's a small tube. So, even if it goes bad, I wont feel the heartache.
Up next is the Koji Mascara Protector and Comb (S$8.00). You use this during mascara applications so that mascara doesn't stain the eyelids. There's even a comb that you use to separate mascara clumps. Frankly speaking, I really feel that this is more of a marketing gimmick. A good to have contraption that we can live without. But since I've been trying to perfect the skill of applying mascara to my bottom lashes, I thought this little piece of tool would help me. Hopefully, it will.
Lastly, it's the SebaMed Clear Acne Anti-Pimple Gel (S$9.95). I've been getting some serious acne problems lately and needed some help with it. I wasn't keen on using Oxy as it is known to be very drying. So I got something milder. I've been using it since. As far as I'm concern, this might seem too mild when it comes to treating cystic pimples.
