Skincare junkie
I’m rather sad that my favorite ettusais SA is leaving the company; I’ve been buying from her for many years now and I always enjoy chatting with her. I probably will not patronize ettusais so often when she’s gone, less I need to restock my staple Day Protect Powder.
A visit to the drugstore sees me bagging lots of items as usual, I simply love shopping at drugstores and supermarkets compared to fashion retail. 
I bagged a pack of the new Clean & Clear powdered blotter (there’s another one with grapefruit scent but I’m not a fan of grapefruits nor perfumed products), new formula Elsève shampoo, Dove’s antiperspirant deodorant and Glide, it’s kinda like a wax-meets-moisturizer to lubricate your feet and painful shoes.
Arab Street & Haji Lane
Last Monday, Emily and I met at Lavender MRT Station for some shopping and exploring! She brought me to the Textile Centre for some cheap zippers available in every color! We bumped into her family and they treated me lunch, we even had tea together! After that, we trotted down to Arab Street!
Yup, Arab Street!
Do you know what’s inside these bottles?
Shop owner doing a cocktail?
Those are actually perfumes! Made of natural oils, I’m not sure if they’re essential oils, the shop owner can concoct store-brand perfumes like Chanel, Burberry, Nina Ricci or even Calvin Klein! There are a number of such shops on Arab Street and each vial costs only a couple of dollars. 
Look what else we found!
Shopping in Japan
It’s the winter sale and apart from snagging a 900yen cotton cashmere top and a pair of 900yen ballet flats from Gap, here are my most expensive buys:
Tinkerbell earrings from Disney Sea. I like them so much that when I saw them that I forgot about my allergy! Luckily, they’re rhodium with surgical steel posts.
