Back in Taiwan

Sun evening. Was in Singapore for a week. Now back in Taiwan. It was exactly a week ago that I wrote about my lousy week in Taiwan. Now I am back & ready to conquer.

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words. They really really helped. You guys are great.


After writing about all the bad things I encountered in Taiwan, I think I need to show the upside:

SOGO ANNIVERSARY SALE!!!!!!!
It was the ultimate skincare shopping experience, I swear never to buy skincare/ makeup in Singapore ever again:

Take this for instance: Shu Uemura Green Tea Cleansing Oil 450ml (helped Bobo buy)

Spore Price: SGD148
Taiwan Price before Sale: NTD2500 = SGD118
Taiwan Price DURING Sale: NTD2000 = SGD95 + Free Gift!!!!
Bobo do you love me or what??!!!


For Mahjong Mummy:
Phylo-blank anti-wrinke range - love the packaging.


Everything is 33% cheaper then Singapore plus they gave away really solid free gifts!
So I ended up buying 2 sets & got 2 sets of free gift. Look, I am NOT a sucker, just a wise spender that grabs a good deal when I see it ok?



Whitening range for my aunt:
I just paid for the whitening essence (the 2nd bottle from the left) & got everything else free, including a FULL SIZE whitening lotion.



And for myself:
To cover my flaws (and replace my smashed Chanel Compact):



The secret to beautiful skin - Mask, mask & more mask. The beauty advisor asked me to use everyday. And at these prices, I just might!

BUY 6 GET 6 FREE!!!!!!!
Damage: SGD76 for 12
hmmmmm they don't seem so cheap now.... maybe i'll stick to using them weekly... but it's still a 50% discount...

Words of wisdom from Nono: "WAH no wonder Taiwanese gals are all so pretty & have such nice skin. Their skincare so CHEAP!!"

It was not just the bargain that made the shopping so enjoyable. It was also the SERVICE. The cosmetics counter was flooded with people & yet the beauty advisor gave me top notch consultation. This I can never find in Singapore. Ok ok, maybe I should say, this is HARD to find in Singapore. I was afterall a beauty advisor once & I do think I gave pretty good service (when I'm in a good mood hahaha).

To end, I also need to say:
Fatcat is NOT miserable in Taiwan. I just had a really
really lousy week. So lookout for many many happy posts to
come!

Frankly, am envious of all the freebies dished out that made purchases worth every cent & the attentive beauty advisor's gd service.
