The Body Shop Super Discounts

While at Ngee Ann City on Thursday, I headed to The Body Shop to check out their cheap but good brushes (I personally like them, though I heard some people complain about the brushes). I asked the SA about the 20% storewide discount available and she told me I could get the discount if I purchased a $10 membership. I'd receive a welcome gift worth the same price, so in essence, it's a "free" membership. So since I needed pouches and creams, I took up the membership. All in, I purchased enough items to get several gift-with-purchases. Almost half of the items pictured above are freebies, namely the shower foams, scrubs and mascara. I also received a $10 discount off one item because I used a stamp on the membership card! Overall, this set of purchases put me in a better mood about losing out on discounts lately. I especially love the pouches I got and I've already started using the pouches, relaxing lotion and mini face brush. The SA told me this mini face brush will be more versatile as it can be used for both normal face powders and mineral foundation powders. I think it's worth taking a trip to The Body Shop if you need to do some shopping from there, especially with all the discounts and gifts-with-purchases. © Copyright. All rights reserved.

2008 Winter Limited Editions from Macquillage and The Body Shop

I went walking at Vivocity during lunch today. Stopped at the Shiseido counter to view the skin care and makeup. Then went to The Body Shop to check out the makeup too. I tried on some colours and took photos of them with my handphone. Here's Macquillage's 2008 Limited Edition eyeshadow ... I was almost tempted to buy them but fortunately I didn't because on hindsight, the colours don't look all that great on me (by the way, sorry for scary hand photos, I do know that my skin is very dry). The texture however is very nice and the boxes are very pretty. Each palette costs SG$70plus. And here's The Body Shop's Limited Winter Colours. The salesgirl let me try some colours from both palettes. I didn't buy them because the colours are too intense and glittery for me. I also found the eyeshadow too powdery, which I know will cause problems for my sensitive eyes. However, I think they will really suit a young person going for a party and the price is very reasonable at SG$39.90 per palette.
