I went shopping at Siam Paragon the other day, and I learned something about buying skincare and cosmetic in Bangkok. All these major brands only offer membership to regular customers for a particular counter at a shopping mall only, and points cannot be collected for other counter on the same brand. It’s different from Malaysia. I buy skincare products anywhere in Malaysia, as long as I show them my member card or identity card, I can easily collect points for my purchase and later on, I can get some redemption on the points collected.
So, I have made up my mind where to get my skincare products from in Bangkok now. For Estee Lauder, I will shop at Robinson Rangsit. For Shiseido, I will buy from Siam Paragon. I bought Shiseido Revital Wrinklelift Retino Science Lotion AA, a sunblock by Anessa, and the enriched softener by White Lucent that day, and I will probably use them in the morning as my night routine consists of products by Estee Lauder. I like to use whitening products in the day and anti aging products at night. 
So, I guess I won’t simply buy skincare products anyway in Bangkok now. It’s best to stick to the same counter huh? But too bad, the promoters of both counters can’t speak English. Gee…
I stopped wearing eyeglasses for years because I don’t look good in them. It’s not easy for me to get a nice pair of sunglasses too as my nose is not tall enough and my face is rounded. Most of the trendy designs are not for me, so I can only try them on and amuse myself. LOL!
Those are the sunglasses I wish to have, but sadly, if I don’t look nice in it. Gee… *Sob sob*…
Finally, I had time for shopping last night. We managed to spend some time at Future Park, Rangsit after a quick dinner. Hubby brought the kids to get some CD so I could do some shopping with SIL. I bought shoes and clothes, but not as much as I used to do back home. The shops close as early as 9pm, so it’s kind of hard to shop at night.
Nonetheless, I’m glad that I did some shopping finally, and it’s not food! LOL! I think I should make a shopping trip again soon. I saw some promotional products by Laneige which I might want to get. Mmm…let’s hope that I won’t be as busy as I am!
I can’t shop much lately. There’s no point buying more and moving more stuffs over, so I try to limit my shopping for as little as possible. I walked by Vincci just now and found a few pairs of shoes which I liked. Too bad I really can’t buy that much, so I bought only a pair. And I grab some clothes from Next too, which is also one of my favorite stores with nice and affordable clothes.
Gee…limited shopping sucks. I can’t swipe my cards and sign off with the bic pens in my Coach. I just can’t wait to fly to Bangkok soon and have a shopping spree again. I miss Platinum Fashion Mall!
I love corsets, but I stopped wearing mine a few months after my second labor. I was wear the corset, which is part of my body shaper, to help me to get back in shape faster and it worked! Of course, I did watch my diet and do some simple exercise to speed things up, but I didn’t take any pills even after reading the diet pill review. Oh ya, I breastfed for 17 months! LOL!
But if you have a nice body, get some corsets or lace tops from Victoria’s Secret and wear them as normal clothing. Check out some of my picks:
Lace corset top
Lace-up corset
Polkadot corset dress
On top of that, there’s a semi annual sale for up to 50% on selected items, so don’t miss it!
I didn’t have a lot of time shopping at the airport. I was basically rushing in and out of Gucci and Coach and then grabbed some skincare products. I already planned on what to get, so it’s pretty easy to grab and go in less than 10 minutes. Hubby was a bit shocked seeing me with 2 shopping bags when he’s back from the toilet. LOL! If it’s not because of me carrying my big handbag and a laptop bag loaded with a laptop, charges, HDMI cables, books and stuffs which are really heavy, I would like to buy more. Besides that, hubby is already carrying 2 heavy bags, so it’s best not to have too many hand carries with us.
On top of that, I can always shop for more next time. I have too many unfinished skincare products on my messy dressing table now. Gosh, I really don’t know if I can finish them soon.
I’m leaving Bangkok tomorrow and I hope that we can arrive at the airport a few hours earlier as I have some shopping to do. As usual, I will try to grab some skincare products there, and I’m eager to try a few types of foundation and mascara again. If possible, I will check out some handbags too, if time permits.
We are not carrying as many stuffs as the time we arrive, so it’s only a hand carry for me with my laptop, camera, HDMI cables, and charges. I think I can carry a few more shopping bags if I manage to buy more.
Let’s see what can I grab tomorrow. I hope to get some great products at cheaper price!
I didn’t shop much but just wandering around Chatuchak yesterday. I found some nice stuffs though, and we didn’t spend more than RM100 for the whole afternoon, that’s pretty amazing to me.
If you get any travel deals to Bangkok, don’t miss Chatuchak. It only opens during the weekend though, so you better arrange your travel agenda well.
I only found out that it’s President’s Day in the states today and most of the shopping sites are having promotions and sales. If you are interested to get any products from Kohl’s, don’t forget to use the Kohls coupon codes available to save up more on your purchase.
Can think of anything to buy? How about the fun fragrance from Flirt?
I didn’t shop a lot of myself in Bangkok and the only thing I got is a blouse from Zara. It’s one of my favorite brand, but I won’t get anything unless there is a sale! We bought lots of clothes for the kids, so they are all prepared for Chinese New Year. Hubby wanted to get some camping gear but after some thoughts, he let it go. It’s too troublesome moving those things back!
So, when we reached Bangkok International Airport yesterday, I quickly grabbed some skincare from the duty free as Lamer is cheaper here!!! I’m not sure about Clarins, but I needed a blusher and a base, so I simply grabbed them. Besides, hubby was willing to pay mah. LOL!
Too bad I didn’t have much time for more, if not I will end up with more than a dozen bottles of beauty products!!!
