My Haul from TFS

Saturday, May 21, 2011
Yes! Finally got time to update a bit.

You know what? I love my part time job now, i mean the online website, The Beauty Phase.

One of the main reasons is that, I can just add on to the order list whenever I need to purchase a product from The Face Shop.

Recently, I just ordered these:

1) Ice Flower Hydra Skin Toner, 130ml.
Retail Price: $31 or more, I forgot. But it is definitely more than $30..
The Beauty Phase Price: $16.80.

My thoughts on this:

No joke, i I really love this product. I have been using this since I was 18 years old, so till now, more than 3 years liao. My skin is sensitive type, as long as i apply stuff that is too harsh, my face will have small, red, itchy patches forming. I need around half an hour for my skin to calm down.

However, after I used this, i never have any allergy reactions. None at all..

Another new discovery I made - Products brought in straight from Korea supplier is so much better, in terms of product quality and pricing. When I bought this in Singapore's outlet, the liquid itself is much more watery and dilluted; but Korea's is much more thicker.. At first I thought it is due to the climate difference, thus Korea needs more concentrated products, but after using Hada Labo facial wash from Malaysia and Singapore, I realise the difference, finally...!

Malaysia's facial wash is so much watery, and runny.. Harder to foam up as well. But Singapore's is thicker, easier to lather, and smoother texture.

Reason being: Malaysia's is made in China, thus a lot cheaper than local one. The Msia supplier claimed that, although items were assembled in China, the ingredients were imported from Japan, so overall, the quality is the same, with lower price. As for Singapore product, it is made in Japan, hence explains the higher pricing.

Disclaimer: I did not write the above reason myself, or based on imagination. I read this post somewhere, I forgot which website, but the Malaysian blogger actually contacted the Msia supplier herself, asking for reason of the price difference in these 2 countries. So I am merely writing what I have read.

Ok, back to topic. So, after I discovered the different quality in Singapore's and Korea's Face Shop products, I suddenly recalled the blog post. I guess, it is really a wiser choice to get directly from the country.


Alright, enough of the Ice Flower Hydra Lotion. Now is time for my second buy from TFS.

2) The Face Shop Easy Brush Eyeliner

Retail Price: $19.90
The Beauty Phase Price: $10.70

My thoughts on this:

What do you think? This is my second time buying this. For cumsy people like me when it comes to make up, I find using liquid eyeliner a hassle and mess. I don't dare to even try out liquid eyeliner. until one day, I saw this brush at TFS outlet. After trying out its brush texture on my wrist, I immediately went to the cashier and paid for it. It is so smooth and easy to use!!! And the effect is almost like liquid eyeliner, just that the colour is not as intense. But for me, who prefer going for more natural look, I don't think other bold liquid eyeliner is the choice for me.

This brush eyeliner has a hard felt tip, allowing precise and hassle-free application. It acts just like a pen / brush, just like those 0.5mm pen, hahaha!

However, if you are one who wants a bolder and intense eye makeup, i would suggest buying this:

Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner 01 Black Force


Retail Price: definetely more than $22, near to $30 if I am not wrong.
The Beauty Phase Price: $15.10


Hey, there is a reason why it is named "Extreme Brush" ok? It is really extreme, cos after applying, your eyes immediately look more awake, with that dark black eye frame drawn out by this eyeliner. Highly recommend this if you are doing a cat eye makeup!

Oh ya, Before i leave this blog, here is the link for you guys (no harm checking out right?...)
