Because they sell this classic for way cheaper!

After seeing the ads while in Sg I thought I'd give the SPF a try and am glad to report its worth the try! Its non sticky and has a silky finishing.

I also had to stock up on the illuminating blushers. My last pot lasted a year and I got plenty of good comments while I wore it. It brightens up the complexion and looks charming. :) But the SA told me its on its limited run and will not be stocked up, so I bought several pots, and hopefully by the time I am done with my last pot, I may find something similar. :)

The first time I came across Sunsilk was my mother's damaged hair treatment tub a few years back. I was suitably impressed with the quality but more so how my hair was softer after one application! Yay! Finally a supermarket brand that actually benefits and you don't feel like you are just washing away your dollars. Isn't that what shampoos & conditioners are? You apply and rinse off. There is nothing that annoys me more than spending loads of money on products that you have to wash off.
The silly thing is that Perth does stock Sunsilk, but not the full range of treatments, intense conditioners, serums and or leave in conditioners!

This is worth every gram of luggage weightage!

Doesn't everyone love DFS shopping?

I must say Changi DFS is worth the early extra hour check in (not that I've had the privy in my trips ). These were the items I managed to grab on both my ways in and out of SG in the very minimal minutes I was allowed. It does pay to know what you want beforehand.


There was a Travel exclusive for Laniege BB Cream and Sleeping mask. Why not?

I promised myself that this year I would refine my shopping skills and shop smartly. There are plenty of bargain shortcuts out there that should be taken advantage. It also doesn't seem fair that when people think budget into mind is Cheaper and more often than not, bad quality. Not that I dismiss them, they do the job most times. But alas, the more well marketed products sometimes of better quality. Its also a little luxury.

So in some sense, I'm hoping to shop 'holistically' as far as possible. I appreciate a little luxury, but I also prefer my money in my pocket and hence I created the following rules for myself

Shop online as far as possible.
Only purchase a sale/discounted/lesser price item.
Take advantage of sales to stock up.
Research for a better price.
Research, research, research...
