One of the nicest things about travelling and stepping into airports is the duty free shopping. I don’t always end up buying things – in fact, I usually end up buying nothing at all at duty free! But there will always be things that catch my eye – stuff you don’t always see at the regular counters.<\/p>\n
And these things are the duty free travel exclusives – exclusive makeup palettes, skincare sets etc. Here are a couple of items that caught my eye as a matter of interest less than as a matter of wanting them.<\/p>\n
Shu Uemura Travel Exclusive eyeshadow palette – S$77<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I don’t know if this eyeshadow palette is available at all airports or on all other airlines. I saw this on Singapore Airlines and would have gotten the Cool palette if I could wear Shu Uemura eyeshadows. If you are a collector or a fan of this brand, you might want to place this on your wishlist if anyone you know is going to fly SQ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Yves St Laurent French Manicure set – S$60<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was quite fascinated by this product. The instructions say you are to draw a white line with the white pen then use the pink pen to apply a layer of light pink on your nail to have a french manicure. I would have liked to see how it really works or if it lasts. Gimmicky but a fun gift I reckon. <\/p>\n For some reason I really wanted this Dior palette. I spotted it on the way to Vietnam but did not get it. Then on the way back for some reason I was so caught up watching CSI on the plane I forgot about it. When I got to Changi duty free, I saw the same palette in the store for S$72.50. I decided to pass as there was no tester around and I did not like the price difference \ud83d\ude1b Haha… I do have another chance to get it soon so I just might! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Mascara set – S$39<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What I did end up getting was a set of Elizabeth Arden Ceramide mascara. It came in a boxed set of 2 with an All Gone eye and lip makeup remover for S$39. I was told it usually retails for S$39 for one mascara so I guess it was a steal? The story behind my getting it is a strange one.<\/p>\n I somehow thought that Elizabeth Arden was Helena Rubinstein and I’d heard a lot about Helena Rubinstein mascara (we don’t get the line here in Malaysia) so I decided to get what I thought was steal. It was only on the plane on the way back to KL that it suddenly struck me that it was not the same – doh! \ud83d\ude1b Anyway, I have heard some good things about the Ceramide mascara so it would be interesting to try this one – I did get it for a bit of a steal after all \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n I’m so glad its the weekend coming up again soon! I need to unpack and distribute gifts and recharge for the coming week ahead. Do you have anything planned for this weekend? Are you going to get your Elemis free samples<\/a> and hit up the I Nuovi cosmetics sale<\/a>? (Its in the same mall after all!) Have you grabbed your Lancome Blanc Expert samples<\/a>? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Stay beautiful,<\/p>\n Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the nicest things about travelling and stepping into airports is the duty free shopping.
