Sucker

Sun afternoon in UCL. Ah fat just finished grocery shopping at my friendly neighbourhood Sogo. There was an SKII roadshow ongoing. A promoter passed me a voucher & said i can redeem FREE SAMPLE at the counter. So Ah Fat thought: "wah new product!! & i need sample size skin when for travelling!! free what... ok may as well..."

So Ah fat went to the SKII counter to redeem these:

The SKII counter girl (SCG) gave Ah fat a consultation on their products & Ah fat realized she does need a moisturizer after all...

Ah Fat: Oh so the Advance Signs Treatment I have been using is NOT a moisturizer!

SKII counter girl (in the Taiwanese "teh" slang): Oh no, it's to be used AFTER the moisturizer.

Ah Fat (knowing she has a drawer FULL of sample moisturizers that can be used): Ok, then I guess I should get today since you have promotion. What's the offer?


SKII counter girl: Buy the Aqua Physics moisturizer & you get travel size cleanser, toner & miracle water free, plus 10% disc.. BUT if you buy BOTH the Aqua Physics serum & moisturizer, you not only get 2 travel sets free, YOU ALSO GET THE HALF SIZE MIRACLE WATER FREE! very worth it the loh... (tehness in full strength now)

Ah Fat (resistance level left 10%, ignores warning bells in her head telling her that she has a drawer FULL of unused samples & free gifts...): Oh wow! OK! I get both!

SKII counter girl: So do you need anything else? what about eyecream?

Ah Fat: Oh no no no, I have too many eyecream. I am currently alternating among 3 types because I buy too many!

SKII counter girl: Oh, well we giving away 5 pairs of our eye mask with every purchase of the Advance Signs Treatment eye cream. Let me show you!

Ah Fat: OH WOW! THAT VERY WORTH IT!


SKII counter girl: Yes our eye mask sells for $12 a pair! And it's really quite effective.

Ah Fat the sucker: Yes I know! I use your eye mask! Ok I'll take the eye cream as well!


YES I KNOW. I AM A SUCKER.

Honestly can anyone resist??

Buy eye cream, free eye mask

That not the end... Ah Fat also got a bonus gift: sample set of the top 10 beauty products in Sogo:

Once again, Taiwan IS skin care shopping paradise!
