Paul & Joe - Jolly Good Grabs

To all Paul and Joe fans out there... Isetan at Wisma Atria is having a fantastic Paul & Joe promotion with nothing costing over $30 (including full sized foundations)!! Eyeshadows are about $14 and so are lip pencils with 2 colours (these alpacas grabbed 3)! The variety is quite limited, and supplies have dwindled since the alpacas went shopping last month, but what's not to love about half-price makeup with gorgeous packaging?

So anyway, Bubbles went and spent $10 on a fabric box. The nice chap selling them says Paul & Joe is coming to Singapore in January 2014! Excite!!!!

But it's not just any old fabric box, the print is gorgeous and its a sturdy little thing. Plus it's filled with skincare and makeup samples - 3 bottles of cleansing milk, 3 bottles of brightening lotion, 6 packets of brightening lotion, and 6 sachets of primer (2 of each shade). However, Bubbles is attracted to P&J's packaging, more so than the actual product (but she would like to say that their eye primer is very good indeed). 

In any event, all is not lost if you alpacas do not plan to use the samples, because you can give them to friends, or use their containers to store soap and shampoo when traveling (the containers have pretty pastel caps with a floral pattern - what's not to like?). Bubbles will use the cleansing milk, and maybe the shades of primer that suit her mien, but she's not too sure about the brightening lotion due to the lack of reviews out there. Perhaps the brightening lotion could be used on her limbs...

The Paul & Joe box has found some new tenants! A third of Bubbles' Sulwhasoo sample stash has moved in. Bubbles only wishes she had a vanity table to display the box (and all her other loot). Alas, it is stowed away in the third shelf of her wardrobe. 

Till then, alpacas! Head over to Wisma Isetan to pick up some cheap Paul and Joe goodies today! There are still lots of eyeshadow colours and sample bag sets. 

Cuddles wants to check out the Anna Sui x Disney nail polishes, and the Body Shop Ginger Sparkle set. This young alpaca is currently having exams, but is already planning her post-exam activities. Bubbles is delighted, and in line with her role as Bossy Elder Sibling, has delegated to Cuddles the task of doing the post on October/November empties. 

New in November

It's the weekend! That means shopping time for the Alluring Alpacas. Today was our maiden trip to the Burberry counter at Tangs. Look what Bubbles got! It's a deep red polish, Ox Blood ($30). This alpaca is feeling sultry today. This alpaca also can't believe its name... all her polishes have pretty names like "rose confidential" or "magical kiss". She had to ask the sales assistant to repeat its name, just to be sure she heard correctly.

The generous sales assistant gave Bubbles some foundation and lip colors to try. What pretty samples! Bubbles is happy to add them to her stash.

Moving on, we have 2 items from Nishino pharmacy at Isetan, Thayer's rose petal alcohol free witch hazel toner ($24.90) and a bottle of Oshima camellia hair oil ($22). The alpacas will test these out and then post a review.

Lastly, we have an unexpected good bargain to share today. It's the Paul and Joe duo lip pencils! $32 reduced to $14, nothing above $30 at Isetan Wisma Atria. We got the lip pencils in 01 Dual Melon, 03 Dual Sepia and 04 Dual Rose. The guy said Paul and Joe will be coming back to Singapore next year, whoop! Watch this space.
