Beauty, Magazine Haul from Japan

I was in Japan last week, visiting Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.

As promised, here's the haul from Japan. The damage was lesser than expected. I thought products that were made in Japan would be cheaper but the prices turned out to be almost the same as Singapore.
Products from Shiseido and Shu Uemura were priced almost the same back here.

Fasio seemed to be cheaper in Singapore Watsons if there were 20% discount promotion going on.
Magazines in Japan are definitely cheaper, even with 5% tax.

One can check out Daiso or the 100yen shop for cheap stuff. I bought an eyeshadow set at a mere $1.58 but its made in China.

There were lots of drugstores all around Japan with drugstore brands available.
Fancl is cheaper too, especially the supplements which I helped to purchase on behalf of a friend.
Ettusias seems to be slightly cheaper as compared to Singapore, but not the whole range was available in Japan.

Here's some of my magazine haul.

1) Miss magazine that comes with Coach scarf, retailing at $21.90 in Singapore and 780yen ($12.30) in Japan.

Ways in using the scarf

2) In Red magazine that comes with 2 Marc Jacobs Daisy zip pouches, retailing for about $21 in Singapore and 750yen ($12) in Japan

3) L'est Rose E-mook that comes with a lovely L'est Rose tote bag, retailing for $31 in Singapore and 1365yen ($21.50) in Japan

4) Anteprima Emook which comes with a canvas cotton bag that was pretty disappointing. It seems like a big difference from what was shown on the magazine. It costs 1260yen ($20) in Japan, $28.70 in Singapore.
