My Small but Perfectly Formed Shopping Haul: I’m getting better at not going overboard!

March 11, 2012 Paris B 75 Comments

The first trip I made to Hong Kong, I came home with half a Sasa store. I’m kidding. Almost. 😛

With each subsequent trip I make, my shopping hauls get smaller and smaller but comprise products I already use, need or that I actually want. *gasp* I must be growing up! 😛

This time, I just picked up a couple of essentials in the Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil (I can’t believe my “essentials” come from Hong Kong 😛 ) and a couple more items I’d been wanting to have a go at. I know everyone loves snooping into others’ holiday shopping hauls but this is so small, its almost embarrassing.

Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 3 : The Langham Place Hotel, Hong Kong

March 10, 2012 Paris B 26 Comments

I can’t believe that just a week ago, almost to the minute, I was sitting in a small shop by the side of a busy road in Mongkok, Hong Kong scooping hot congee into my mouth to warm myself up from the cold outside. Just 1 week. How time flies.

I haven’t had time to process all the scrumptious food photos so you’ll have to make do with a slightly different sort of scrumptiousness – the delicious hotel I stayed at in Hong Kong this time around 🙂 I left off booking a hotel room till it was almost too late but decided to stay somewhere different for once. I usually put up at small joints but this time, I spotted a deal on Agoda and picked the Langham Place Hotel, Hong Kong.

TripAdvisor gave it an almost flawless rating so I wasn’t too worried. I picked it partly for the location (smack in the middle of busy Mongkok and connected to the Langham Place mall and Mongkok MTR station) but who am I kidding? I just really wanted to stay somewhere nice 😛

Hong Kong Cosmetics Haul – less than I thought!

April 10, 2009 Paris B 49 Comments

I hit Hong Kong at a bad time for shopping – there were hardly any sales around. That was good in a way because I was there to play “tour guide” to take my parents around and we had lots of fun!

I managed to squeeze in some shopping on the last day which was when I bought most of my stuff. The rest of the time was spent sight seeing, eating and freezing my buns off! It was cold this time of year, averaging between 19-20°C everyday. We loved it of course but my lips hated how dry it could be.

I ended up with a little haul only this time because as I said before, I found that prices of cosmetics in Hong Kong appear to have risen and are now more expensive when compared to Malaysia. I suppose if you are coming from Europe, its still a lot cheaper in Hong Kong but for me, I found it easier to resist buying things than I thought.

I picked up some skincare this time from Bonjour and Sasa. The H2O+ Face Oasis set was only HKD195 (RM92) at Bonjour so it was too good to pass up since I’ve incorporated the H2O+ Face Oasis gel into my everyday skincare routine. It came with a sample size eye gel and a facial cleanser which made it an even sweeter deal!

Where to shop for makeup in Hong Kong?

September 8, 2008 Paris B

If you go to Hong Kong, by just looking at the proliferation of cosmetics stores, you’d think every woman there is made up to the nines. Its not quite true. But the women in Hong Kong do take more trouble with their appearance or so I find. When I go to the business areas of Hong Kong, I see the women executives made up carefully in light colours and dressed well. Even on a weekend, the girls of Hong Kong are well dressed in their casual outfits and with casual light makeup on.

While we are seeing more of this in Malaysia, I do still think women in Malaysia don’t take as much trouble especially working women. All that said, beauty and cosmetics is a HUGE industry in Hong Kong and the stores are there to prove it, and not to mention even advertising the latest Autumn 2008 collection on a tram!
