Unlike some of you who change your fragrance often, I have only used two fragrances for the past two years, namely Giorgio Armani’s Acqua Di Gio and BodyShop’s Oceanus. Both are somewhat similar for the fact that they are both breezy fragrances. For now, I have stopped on Oceanus and only using Acqua Di Gio. I first read about Acqua Di Gio 3-4 years ago on a lifestyle website. Back then, it is already labelled a classic fragrance. After using a tester, I definitely share the same sentiments. I have also noticed that my cousins are using the same fragrance as me so I think it runs in the family that we share similar tastes.

As you can see above, I am halfway through my current bottle of Acqua Di Gio. Once I finish my current bottle, I will be getting another from my local store. I have noticed that I don’t save that much by buying off eBay since the shipping will pretty much cover the differences. I will probably do a cover on Singapore-based shops that sell fragrances at bargain prices in the future. So, what’s your classic fragrance?

I bought from this online seller Sweet Little Corner during my initial phrase of online shopping a couple of years back. I will only mentioned very briefly about my experience with her, as I do not want potential buyers to abuse her helpfulness.

I had bought a pair of earrings from her, and although due to some unforseen circumstances which could have resulted in an unpleasant situation, she does not shift the blame and even offer me alternatives willingly. From this incident, she had gained my trust completely. I know I might have mentioned it before in my previous entry about spree organizers, but I still want to highlight that if you want to purchase anything from the organizers I mentioned, please be a sincere and reasonable buyer. I do not hope to create unpleasant experiences for the organizers.

Sweet Little Corner is now having an online Flea Market promotion from now till the 23rd of December, which is next Sunday. Discounts are offered for new items as well, with sales items going at more than 70% discount. If you prefer to view her yahoo auctions, you can do so HERE, although I would urge you to go to her website, as a wider range is displayed there.

Do drop by Lil Shopaholic, which is owned by my friend’s friend. I am not really a mask person, but based on what my friend blogged about in her blog entries so far (she’s a very fashionable young woman whose collection of clothes, make-up and accessories never fail to amaze me), these masks are great. I’m sure some of you have heard of this taiwan show 女人我最大 (which covers all topics about women’s beauty secrets), and you would be pleased to know that some of the masks were reccomended on this show.

The price range is about S$1-S$2 per mask, which is the cheapest I have seen so far, taking into consideration the rising popularity of these masks. Postage rates by the organizer is very reasonable as well, so no harm dropping by the site! It even has the Breast Mask I mentioned previously!

I was looking through Cleo Malaysia (I bought a truckload of magazines during my trip!) when I noticed this gadget in its December issue, on page 328. Presenting you Rakku Shoe Wheel.

My initial thoughts include lots of question marks and disbelief although I must say I was interested as I have never seen this device before. Apparently, THIS is how it works.

Now, my questions have progressed to the next stage – What if I have small feet (I wish I did) and my shoes are too short to reach the centre? What if my shoes are caked with some dried mud (or other residue) and it drops onto the next shoe? And to add in a worry from my mum – How do I clean the thing?

I must say it is a concidence to see the exact same shoe rack being spree-ed on Edynae, and that there are quite a few shops selling this shoe wheel (it’s been so long since I last went shopping) where the spree-ers are trying hoping to get as many orders as they can, so that the store can give them a higher discount rate and free delivery to all spree-ers’ addresses. The Rakku Shoe rack retails at S$129 + S$5 assembly fee if help is required).

For more info on the Rakku Shoe Wheel, you may wish to pop over to the Rakku website and Whoa-Ho (the Singapore distributor).

Hop over to PrettyDolls now! They are opening these two sprees that you must not miss buying from!

E.L.F stands for Eyes.Lips.Face, in case you are not aware. As their name goes, they specialises in beauty products. I don’t really like to spree cosmetic items, but I had made an exception, because everything is going for US$1 each, which is:

US$1 * 1.60 exchange rate by Prettydoll + $1.50 handling fee by Prettydoll = S$3.10 for each item.

The first time PrettyDolls opened this spree, I placed an order for 5 items on the 6th of September although the spree only closes towards the end of the month. I still remember myself thinking, “Even if the shipping is a whopping S$4 per item, it is still cheap!” On the 9th of November, I got an email from PrettyDolls saying that my items has arrived, one of which is out of stock. And so, the shipping fee is only S$7.98 for 4 items, which is about S$2 for each item. Where can you get cosmetics at S$5.10 each? This spree will close on the 19th of December, which is on a Wednesday.

As for Threadless, I haven’t spree from this site yet. But I do know that the tees are going for really low prices. $16 for an US brand top, exclusive of shipping fees. However, you have got to hurry as the Threadless spree will close on the 12th of December (Wednesday) so as to reduce the possibility of your items going out of stock (OOS) during this festive season.
