Haul / Skincare: Isetan - Fancl

Recently, I redeemed some Isetan vouchers using my credit card points and I decided to stock up on some Fancl products.

First up is the Calorie Limit Tea. 3 for SGD41.50 with 10% rebate for the next purchase. This tea is meant to be taken with your meal and supposedly helps to reduce the amount of calorie being absorbed by the body. I love the taste of this tea it's heavenly to pair it up with a packet of vegetarian bee hoon. Makes me feel guilt-free while indulging in my favorite breakfast.

Next one is the Fancl Skin Renewal Pack (SGD29.50 before 10% rebate). This is a wash-off mask and I like the fact that it leaves my skin soft and radiant without irritation.

Haul: Isetan 38th Anniversary Sale

The Isetan Anniversary sale is an annual event of the year that loyal patrons look forward to. The heavily marked down specials are things that people queue up for.

So, although I was on a no buy embargo, I decided to go ahead to get the Laneige Hydra Solution Cream. It was going for S$38.00 instead of the usual S$68.00 and in addition, I get a 5 piece GWP for this purchase. Not to mention that I get a additional 10% off S$38.00.

I had asked Ling to help me get the it since I wasn't sure if I can control myself and NOT succumb to temptations. But I wasn't able to answer Ling's call to confirm the purchase as I was in a meeting.

And so, being the Kiasu Singaporean, I decided to pop by the Wisma Laneige counter during lunch as they cannot reserve the item for me.


Bad idea.

I ended up spending a bomb on ~H20+ products. I've always like this brand for some unknown reasons. Maybe it's the scent, maybe it's the colors but nevertheless, I was drawn to it.

Since Isetan was offering 10% off, and it's the only place that carries ~H20+, other than the spartan counter at CityLink, I decided to try it out.

In the end, I got the Face Oasis Plus Hydrating Fluid SPF15 (S$74.40) and Eye Oasis Moisture Replenishing Treatment (S$63.20). I also got a whole set of sizable samples as GWP with my purchases.

GWP from left to right:

• Water Bank Cream 2_Ex
• Professional Makeup Remover Multi Cleanser
• Water Bank Essence_Ex
• Balancing Emulsion 2_Ex
• Power Essential Skin Refiner Light_Ex

GWP from left to right:

• Hydrating Marine Moisture Mask
• Marine Cleansing Gel
• Hand and Nail Cream
• Hydrating Body Butter
• Sea Marine Body Scrub
• Face Oasis Cleansing Water

Haul: Isetan - 9 Jan 2010

Headed down to Isetan Scott today to redeem my points for Aqua Fusion (Morning) but was disappointed that they dont have stock for it.. So I redeemed the items first and have the nice girls at Clarins call me when the item is in.

Anyway, got persuaded by the sales lady to purchase their latest product in the Multi-Active range. I received the mailer few days prior and my interest was piqued. I figured it's time to venture into the realm of anti-aging. Understand from Evelyn (the Clarins girl) that this is actually an improved product from the original range.

The best thing is that I get double points if I buy 2 products from this range, not to mention the GWP. So I was enticed into getting it.. By the time I realised, I was already paying it... Good thing was that I has over $100 worth of Isetan which I used to offset my purchase. So didn't really burn a big hole in my bank account.

On top of that, I get a 4 piece Clarins GWP as my total purchase exceed some amount... (yeah, no idea how much in total..)

In addition, went by Kino and saw the samples for Lancome Blanc range being offered as GWP for Amica magazine and so decided to pick up a copy as I was thinking of trying out some whitening product for my sun spots. The magazine is an atas magazine with content that is rather boring to me. So, it's purely for the GWP.

Haul: Isetan Pte Sale - 18 Dec 2009

I originally had a dinner appointment and was going to skip this sale but my friend wasn't able to make and so, off I went to spend $$$... Isetan Card Members get 10% beauty vouchers and if we pay by HSBC Credit card, we getanother 5% worth of vouchers.

I limited myself to max $200 since I've already spent a lot for the month of Nov and Dec 2009. And here are my little pretties....

A bird's eye view of my haul.. Many MAC products.. Woohoo

MAC Haul
I've been thinking of changing foundation and after some advice from Mag and the MAC MA @ Isetan Scotts, I got the Select SPF Foundation and Pressed Powder and a eyeshadow. The foundation applicator was purchased to top up so that I can enjoy the rebate vouchers...

Clarins
I've already stocked up on my Clarins products during the Metro sale but with the 20%+10%+5% off. I just couldn't let it go without purchasing something. So I bought the Renewing Gentle Exfoliator since I'm lacking a scrub and the Clinique one isn't exactly sensitive skin friendly.

Shiseido
I originally wanted to get the 3D Face Creator but the MUA, Shawn introduced this product to me. This item covered my ruddy cheeks and even out my skintone so well that I was totally won over.

I was so lucky to have met Shawn that day. Shawn is the only Shiseido MUA for now and he has to run all over Singapore. He's really nice and patient when it comes to answering your queries, even if it sounded silly. Maybe because he doesn't have to hit sales target, he don't hard sell but instead, try to win you over with products that actually works. He's at Scotts for the whole of Dec 2009. Do drop by if you are interested.

That's all for now... Off to the next post..
