Frasers Rewards

Finally....Frasers is doing away with the card system in Oct 2015.

thumbs up for

• only minimum of $10 receipt to earn points
• elite club for $8000 or more spend

I did not my existing card previously because it is troublesome to carry so many cards around when I do not know when I am going to a Frasers malls. Another key reason I encountered shops that do not accept the cards for point collections. Hence I preferred to shop at Capitaland malls instead.

Now with the new mobile app launching in Oct. Let's see how good it is compare to CapitaLand CapitaStar Rewards.

Update: The points for Frasers are awarded based on block of S$10, for example if your receipt is $39.90, 30 points will be awarded instead of 39. Hence it is theoretically a worse-off system compared to others.

Shopping mall rewards - Capitastar

This reward programme is far ahead of any other malls in Singapore. We have been using it for at least 3 years. My family ended up shopping often at Capitaland malls most of the time since shops are more or less than same in SG. We usually exchange about $100 vouchers per year. Look out for special promotions eg they give out 5000 points for some minimum purchase ($120, $150, $200) at certain malls. every 5000 STAR$ can exchange for $5 voucher.

Pros

• cardless
• mobile app available
• membership is free on condition 6 transactions per year
• passion card member get 1.5x

Cons

• must scan within 2 days
• maximum 5000 STAR$ allowed per day
• be careful when you scan the receipt as sometimes it will be rejected for "funny" reason
• my advice is to always keep a copy until the STAR$ are given.
• points are non transferable
• minimum spend of $20 to be able to earn STAR$

Prevage lashes enhancement

After seeing the advertisement for about a year. I finally get the chance to buy this product. I really have very short short lashes and hope to have some effects.

I started out today and will track the results in 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks effect.

For the first try, I felt burning sensation on my lids. Check the internet and some users had the same experience. Hope it is nothing serious.

Orange Bear order online

Have you heard of the taiwanese brand Orange Bear?

I chanced upon this website when I was looking for hello kitty stuff many months ago.
I started browsing for the items and find the items to be fashionable and their prices to be quite reasonable. However, I did not make any purchase.

About 4 months later, I recall the website and started to browse again. The prices were very attractive and upon reading the shipping charges, I decided to try it out. I selected 12 items on the cart which amount to about S$150 and sleep over them for a night.
The next day I decided to go ahead. The shipping cost was less than $15. So I apportion out to each item and it is less than $1.5 each, which is quite acceptable to my standard.
I made the purchase on Sunday evening. The goods were ready to deliver on wed afternoon. The speed of delivery is beyond expectation, very fast. The order update online was also very efficient.

Note: Remember to provide a residential or office address.

I have yet to check out the quality, will update again once I check them.

BreadTalk SG50 Promotion

BreadTalk SG50 Promotion
5 for $7, 10 for $12

Means one bun costs $1.40 or $1.20
Unless you buy mostly floss, other buns mostly ranged between $1.30-$1.50. The discount is only like 10cts.
If you have a big family or a party, it is quite worthwhile to buy 10 floss buns to eat at one go.
If not, it is quite unhealthy to be eating so many in such a short time. Check the calories at myfitnesspal app!

Then came the next realization, the buns are made smaller than before. As regular, I noticed floss and sausage buns are smaller than usual. I wondered did any other customer noticed this given the long queue to buy 5 or 10 buns at one go.

They also did not make bun like bacon and cheese for this promotion.
Verdict - not value for money promotion

Review of AB double eyelid glue

Now, after the Japan trip, I did not find the brand in Singapore. Hence I started looking for similar products. It was a total disaster!

The packaging looks so professional

I am writing my personal experience with this product AB.
The sale person strongly recommended this as compared to those double sided tape type. I regretted my purchase totally and I will explain why in this article.

Below are the reasons:-
1) it is totally uncomfortable after applying
2) when I apply too little, it doesn't work at all
3) if I applied too much, the glue is too liquid that it will just flow into my eyes and sting
4) it needs eye makeup remover to remove at the end of the day
5) however, mine cant even hold till end of the day and I can feel the glue on the eyelids
6) I can never put equal amount of glue on both eyelids, making it very difficult to make both side balance
7) the glue is not sticky and fold the eyelids in different ways every time I blinked.
8) i have to apply a lot of glue to let it starts sticking together.
9) it gave a very heavy feeling on the eyelids after application.

In the end, I threw this away.

Review Prud'or Double-sided eyelids tape from Japan

Being a natural hidden double eye lids all my life, I always wanted to try 'opening' my eyes bigger ^_^
Only people like me will understand our 'misery', the comments we hear from people, sometimes they hurt. But it is not bad enough for me to want to go for plastic surgery.

Throughout the years, I always use such tapes on and off, like once every 5 years. However, a trip to Tokyo sometimes back has renewed my interest again when I chanced upon a very very very good double sided eyelids tape.

Firstly, the tape is easy to apply.
Secondly, the tape stay in shape & can hold up for the whole day.
Thirdly, the sticky part is just right.
Lastly, the price is reasonable.

By far, this is the best product I used before. I will give it 5 stars.
