Luxasia, Don Don Donki, Welcia, Yesstyle Haul

 

Happened to see their ad, on this sale happening on the day I took my birthday leave so after a lunch treat for my parents, off I go for Luxasia Warehouse sale at Tai Seng. 

Tips to note for warehouse sales :

- check expiry dates if you can commit to emptying the product within the deadline. 

- wear light and carry light as it can get stuffy when in crowds and your bag will be secured with a cable tie. 

- if you are a skinholic like me, it is helpful to have a list of products that you currently have, so that you don't end up buying duplicates or more than what you can use up. 

This is the least amount spent among the last few Luxasia warehouse sales I have been to. They have lesser skincare and makeup with fewer brands than previous years but more perfumes on offer. 

First Aid Beauty Ultra Lip Balm $10

Supergoop! Protec(Tint) $15

My 3D2N Batam Trip + Beauty Shopping + Haul

 

I needed a short break and we made the decision to travel out to Batam, Indonesia. Booked the ferry tickets, hotel and insurance all within a month. 

Ferry : Horizon Fast Ferry 

Hotel Stay : I Hotel Baloi

The horizon fast ferry took an hour to reach Batam Harbourbay and I do recommend one to use Gojek for cheaper cab fares. 

Highly recommended by a friend, the location of the hotel was great as it was within walking distance to 2 malls ( Grand Batam Mall and Batam City Square Mall ). Perfect to shop with my parents as they can rest at the hotel whenever they are tired. 

Service was great initially as they allowed me to check-in early. However, there was a baby lizard in the bathroom of my hotel room and 2 baby cockroaches in my parents' room. Not a pleasant experience.

Sephora + L'Occitane + IDS + The Vegan Glow + Snowperk Haul

 

After a 4 months ( Jan - April 20 ) successful no-buy last year, I wanted to target a no-buy to low-buy for this year. I purchased a non-skincare product for January, which was to cover my peeking greys so thats not so bad, right? HAHA. No-buy February ended with a success. Phew! 

I received the beautifully wrapped package from Justrend. I applaud the effort made in wrapping the parcel with a red paper-plastic bag and a repurposed gift box to make it look presentable. Thumbs-up to the great eco-friendly effort! I wish more companies can do that to reduce waste.
