Taiwan Haul :D
12:53:00 AM
Hello, dears!!
I usually wait until i finish my travel entries for a trip before posting the haul, but since i'm writing about the Taiwan trip with #Undecided and she's super super super busy (and most probably wouldn't be able to blog for more than one month from now! *cries*) and i'm pretty sure we're not gonna be able to finish them on 2013 *LOL*, i decided i'd go on and blog about my haul first before i used everything up haha.
No picture of the entire haul altogether, but i did snap one of the beauty related stuffs together :
It's not that much, isn't it? At least compared to my JB/SG haul... I guess it's still quite a lot *boo*, but i really really held back okay. I can easily go like, 10x crazier (and God knows i've done it before) especially because everything's super cheap there!!! Well, maybe not everything, but beauty stuffs (and food....) are CRAZY cheap! I am already mentally planning to go back sometime soon (during winter, please) and shop like mad! I just felt guilty for shopping so much less than a month earlier, a good thing too or else i dunno how i'd bring all of my shopping home!
Almost all of my beauty related stuffs were bought at Sasa, Guardian, Watsons and Family Mart (and lemme tell you something, if you see something you like in one Family Mart, don't think twice, because most Family Marts stocks different kind of stuffs!)
I think these were NTD 60 each? (IDR 18.000) |
Same reason for this Nextcare Oil Control Film, a novelty reason hehe. Must not be cheap or else i'd have bought a lot more than one! |
Btw, i clearly completely forgotten the prices of the stuffs i got, the ones that i can tell you about actually got the prices still tagged and i deliberately took pictures of the prices as well so it's easier to blog. Hehehe... the ones from Family Mart and Watson's didn't have any price tag on them though... Anyway, moving on!
I cannot resist lip balms HHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU don't ask me what i'm gonna do with them, i just love buying and looking at them, DON'T jugde me! |
Bought one lip gloss from Docile at Sasa, it was NTD 80 or IDR 24.000 *sigh* *how can i resist* |
Smiths's Minted Rose Lip Balm for NTD 199 or IDR 60.000. Always wanted Smith's lip balms, but it was quite pricey in Singapore, for IDR 60.000 however, i must get it! |
Shill's Lip Balm in Vanilla Milk for NTD 99 (IDR 30.000) just because i cannot resist anything that looks like or contains milk -___- |
Lovely Penguin Lip Balm NTD 168 (IDR 50.400), obvi because of the packaging! |
Hello Kitty. Nuff said. NTD 99 (IDR 30.000) |
Watsons house brand Plum Black Tea Lip Balm |
Got it because i also cannot resist unusual ingredients, black tea's definitely not something i am familiar with in my lip balms, and i'm sure it was dirt cheap too... |
I'm in love with the scent, but i must admit i also cannot resist the baby pink bottle |
And the beautiful embossing! |
I tend not to buy a lot of make ups on my travels *but then i'd order tons of them online, what's the difference WTF* unless the price's insane *for this trip i deliberately stayed away from the make up counters though!*, but cleansers... I 'm a lot more lenient to myself with them because i use them daily and go through them pretty quickly.
Oh God, i don't even know the brand's name... Is Perfect Whip the brand??? It was on sale in Watsons |
And so was this was, Neutrogena's Deep Clean Cleansing Lotion |
Another impulse buy in some random Family Mart, Ma Cherie travel set |
I still got a lot of brand new perfumes in my stash so i tried to stay away from the perfume section, but Hello Kitty beckoned T.T |
I don't remember how it even smells like but the Kitty's transparent and glittery! Too pretty to pass! |
More Kitty! |
Heme x Hello Kitty nail remover |
Random cheapo nail wraps i got from Zhiqiang Night Market for NTD 100 for three!!! |
Next one i didn't actually purchased, they're freebie toilettries from our last hotel but since it's damn L'OCCITANE i gotta feature them!
All these for two nights stay |
So awesome i gotta add one more pic of them haha |
While we're on the topic of freebie : free pins from the Hot Air Balloon Festival |
Also got this masks sets for my female employees because i was running out of options (touristy and souveniry stuffs were surprisingly quite expensive there!) |
Was on a huge promo, like... NTD 67 (IDR 20.000 WTF!!!) for one box (which i guess contains like, 5 sheets?) |
On second thought i really regret not picking up one for myself! |
It's so cute that they're selling in single packs, not by pair-so you don't need to get two of the same degree if your miopia's different from one eye to another! How convenient! |
I also bought a few clothes (not too much! Maybe like, 10? Hehe) but like i said before, i don't really post my clothing hauls unless i got them in a HUGE sale (the night market clothes prices was okay, but not fantastic. Singapore/Malaysia's cheaper when it comes to this kind of stuffs), but i will show you my other fashion haul : the accessories.
Spiky arm band, NTD 100 |
Blown glass flower necklace |
And another one with a huge butterfly pendant. Can't remember how much, was it NTD 300 for two? |
Jade (looking) bracelet from Chiang Kai Shek's Memorial Hall's souvenir store, it was not very cheap-NTD 250 (IDr 75.000) but better than the NTD 6000 necklace i was eyeing hahaha |
"Marc Jacob" baby blue clay flower necklace NTD 300 (IDR 90.000), not usually a price i'd justify for a little (non-branded) necklace, but it was too pretty... |
Got this tiny elephant bracelet at the same store for NTD 150 |
Dainty winged-heart neckace from CKS Memorial Hall, it was very cheap maybe NTD 100 |
Got these special necklaces we got while strolling a stretch of street full of little stores in Danshui (or Tamsui as i read it at the MTR hehe) |
NTD 60 each |
Accidentally picked my own birth date necklace! |
Also got another one filled with black stones hehe |
Can't ever ever resist Hello Kitty |
Got this at Xi Lin Night Market for NTD 150 |
Cute pink Starbuck's tumbler that even caught local baristas' attention whenever we used them |
Like i said before, Taiwanese seems to be very influenced by Japanese culture. There were lots of cutesy stuffs, including the famous Japanese egg toys dispensers (gachapon) that were EVERYWHERE in Taiwan. Even got stores that only sells them! Hunny and i are such kids at heart and we've loved silly cute things like this forever, so we got quite a lot. It was quite cheap too (starting from NTD 60) considering the high quality of the toys they dispensed! Sadly we've lost or ruined lots of them (hunny even managed to lose a pluggy he got in Ximen Ding within a few days and my own super cute kitten one's lost together with the handphone itself FML) by now *LOL*. We need to stop buying such nonsense (coz we keep on losing/ruining them)!!!!
Cute Pentax bag charm |
Hunny put it on his bag and by now the "lens" already lost |
Super cute cupcake pooch! I gave it to Au |
Look at the details! |
Super cute and fat hammie! LOVEEE! |
Our first gachapon. Lost it already *FML* |
Transvestite Banana pluggy hahahaha gave this to Baby Boy |
Even though the face's super annoying, the detail's still amazing! |
Dirt cheap headbands at Hualien's Night Market (the second one) |
Bling2 in real life. Don't remember how much, was less than IDR 20.000 |
Yep, a fan of spiky things, if you haven't noticed by now... |
It was hard finding stuffs for Baby Boy there though! Because all the kiddie stuffs and especially the clothes looked like those fugly cheap ones you can find in errr... local markets. LOL. Got kinda desperate so when i saw this super cute dancing Damper Baby, i forced hunny to buy it for him.
Switch it on and it will start dancing (or rather, marching) accompanied with a very cute and cheerful song. It was expensive though, NTD 1000 i think |
Cute post card that will "move" if you pull the little paper sticking below |
It was quite cheap after the huge discount! So lucky he wandered into the store exactly on father's day! One day difference-no more discount! |
There wasn't a lot of choices and i kept it safe by choosing one of my favorite author's work : Jodi Picoult. |
Got this cute bib for William, hunny's nephew |
Well, i think that's all i got from Taiwan (sans the clothes, i actually already wore one of the clothes i got from Taiwan on Baby Boy's birthday, the blue chiffon one!)! I'm gonna leave you with a SUPER DUPER yummy snack that i regretfully only remembered to try when we got back (or else i'd at least bought like a dozen or two to bring home!!!). I've heard Xiaxue and Qiuqiu raved about Jagabee but i was always like, how nice could it be? SUPER DUPER nice, apparently! Only got one tiny cup and Baby Boy finished more than half of it, despite the fact that they're quite hard and he's got a lot of missing teeth! That's how nice it was! Must buy by the dozen if you ever encounter them!
Drooling now. Looks like french fries, yea? The vacuum dried one hehe |
Can't wait to travel more on 2014, and shop a LOT more of course!

DeleteThank u :)
Hi, may I know where did you get the Balenciaga inspired bag? Did you have to
ReplyDeletebargain?
Sorry, i didn't notice this comment before, got no notification for this...
DeleteI got it in some random store in Tamsui, and no i didn't bargain, most of the stores in Taiwan seems to have a fixed price policy (even if you can bargain like in night markets you can't bargain too much unlike in China or Bangkok)
I loove Jagabee too ever since I tried it on a whimp (I think 5 or 6) years ago and whenever my relatives go to Singapore I always ask them to bring me a these lol. Anyway, the one from China Town is cheaper, I think for a bag of 5 pouches is SG$3.50 :)
ReplyDeleteOhh, Jagabee's available in Singapore already? I didn't even know that! LOL. I did bought a big packet of them in our last trip to Hong Kong so i have my fill for now, might be craving for them soon though!
DeleteNice haul ;)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the starbucks tumbler ? Do you think that it's limited edition ? I really want it ><
I got it in Starbucks (well, doh haha) just outside Tamshui's MTR station :). I have no idea if it's a limited edition or not though, sorry!
DeleteYour Taiwan Haul is very fun and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your vacation experience. cocoonmedicalspa.com
