Hands up if you shop online! If you find yourself nodding avidly, chances are that you probably heard of Taobao, China's largest E-commerce site. If you haven't, I'm sure you will fall in love with it because they have almost everything on their site, from clothes to furniture and household appliances.

I love shopping. Shopping work wonders, it is therapeutic. If you must know, I was often wowed by the window display at Tangs Orchard when I was a child and I must say that contributed a huge part in me opting to major in Retail Management back in Polytechnic.
Ever since I started working, I find myself shopping online more and more often as compared to shopping at physical stores as shopping online is very convenient. On top of that, there is a wide variety of products available to choose from ranging from cosmetics, clothes, accessories, food etc. However, a lot of times, I find myself checking out different websites on different tabs in order to secure the best deal.
Recently, I was introduced to priceza.com.sg, a Singapore online shopping and price comparison website. Simply search, compare and buy with Priceza! It makes online shopping so much easier and fuss-free!

Believe a not, I haven't bought from Taobao prior to this. I know, you might be thinking how is that possible? Especially when my family and friends are constantly talking about their latest buys from Taobao.
I remember asking a friend where she got her dress from and she went like, "Taobao!" My immediate reaction was, "What?! You mean Taobao has got something like that?" FYI, it was like an ASOS inspired dress. During Xuan & Ye's wedding, when I commented that the guestbook was really cute, Li Xuan's sister, Li Bing told me that its from Taobao. And the other day when I was over at Grandpa's, my cousin, Ebony was like, "Jie, let me show you my rainbow loom from Taobao." She was wearing a pair of shorts which appealed to me and guess what? Its from Taobao too! She even got my birthday present - a bluetooth enabled iOS and android compatible camera remote control from Taobao!
With technological advancements, consumers are getting more and more products and services via online shopping. Personally, I purchase clothes, makeup, gifts and book my flight, hotel and movie tickets online.
Sometime ago, I tasked my 20-year-old cousin, Elvin to get movie tickets on my behalf as we had plans to catch Spiderman together with Ebony so I took a photo of my credit card and whatsapp-ed him followed by sending him the CCV. Thinking back, I felt so silly. Although it was very convenient for me and Elvin, what if either of us lose our phone? Or had the data in our phones stolen? This would meant access to my credit card details!
If you find yourself in a similiar situation as me, you need not worry anymore because.. there's MatchMove Wallet, a globally recognized mobile eWallet that aims to provide safe, easy and fast online shopping experience for consumers.
Shopaholics alert! Smart consumers whom want every penny's worth, you will be happy to find that iPrice Shop houses many different brands. What's more, it compares the prices for you to score the best deal. Plus, the stores featured on iPrice Shop ships to Singapore!
Tell me, who doesn't love good deals? Especially when it comes to grooming necessities such as cosmetics. Girls being girls, we never find ourselves owning too many makeup products. In fact, we need more than one eyeshadow, lipstick and lipgloss to create different looks for various events and occasions. I think the saying, "Beauty comes with a price" applies very well here. Given that students and young executives whom just entered the society don't have a lot of spare cash to spend on cosmetics, knowing how to maximize every penny's worth is very important. Before you shrug me off by saying it is impossible, allow me to let you in on how it is possible to get reliable brands at a lower price compared to the retail stores in Singapore - by getting from the originating country or somewhere sells the same product at a cheaper price.
Its the month of celebration and I'm sure all you girlies have got tons of parties to attend. What's more for those of you whom are working already, pay day is almost here and its time to shop, be it for yourself or for your loved ones! Why not pamper yourself this festive season with a top or a dress from CLASSIQUE?

Hello everyone, so as promised, I am gonna post my collective haul (online) in this post. You won't be seeing a lot of items for now because I still have a few items which aren't delivered to Singapore yet.
The first package contains my Sigma brushes. I only got two of them which are Sigma Pencil E30 and Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F80.
Sigma Pencil E30
I got this because I wanted a pencil brush. I don't have any pencil brush in my collection you see. And I foresee that this would come in handy when blending out pencil eyeliner, application of color on the crease and outer corners.
I haven't tried this brush at all but it does feel sturdy enough though.
Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F60
I got this because it says that it could be used to apply both liquid and powder foundation. And partly because I loved my Etude House Duo Fiber Brush so much, especially for applying BB Cream or Liquid Foundation.
I have only tried using this brush once so I couldn't really give a comprehensive review of it. But I must say, I liked the fact that its dense enough, yet so soft! I hope it doesn't prick my face like how my Etude House Duo Fiber Brush does at times during application.

Guess what is inside the second package?
Its.........
Stila travel girl palettes in Pretty in Paris and Road to Radiance across the U.S.A!
The website says that they are limited edition and there are a total of 5 palettes in the collection. I can't wait to collect all!
It fits into my hand so well. Its so compact that it fits into any makeup pouch!
Stila Pretty in Paris
I liked the fact that each palette has got a quote in it and that it also has got a mirror which is great for touch ups outside!
consists of 4 Eyeshadows:
- Crepe (pale pink)
- Cherie (reddish brown)
- Jolie (brownish pink)
- Chocolat (brown)
Convertible Color:
- Rosebud
This palette consists of more neutral colors which are great for neutral looks be it day or night. I gave this to my cousin for she was looking for a eyeshadow palette. I might get this again because it has got Eiffel Tower on it which is my favourite! I love Eiffel Tower!
Stila Road to Radiance across the U.S.A
consists of 4 Eyeshadows:
- Snow Bunny (shimmery champagne)

This palette consists of more pinky, girly colors. Of all, my favourite is City Chick which is very much of a plum shade.
