Hong Kong Haul!!

Back in the states, refrained myself from buying too much as I knew that I would go crazy here in Asia. I finally broke the my cosmetic-fast when I was in Hong Kong last month. I didn't buy too much there, I had to make sure to think-twice that I would use the products before handing over the money.

There were so much to stop in Hong Kong! The week that we were there, we would start out at 9am and walk around till midnight! The night life was amazing, with stores opening later in the day and closing at around 11pm. 

Nevertheless, here's what I manage to grab!

I know, it looks like alot, but most of the items are polaroid films! Here's a closer look at what I got plus the prices of each of the items. 

Skin Care:
For Skincare, I got it all from SaSa, which is a cosmetic store you can find EVERYWHERE in HK and in many places throughout asia 
  1. My Beauty Diary Face Masks  x2  (on the sides)
    Ginseng Repair (on the left) and Bird's Nest (on the right).
    Each box contain 10 individual masks
    @ 58HKD per box --> 7.5USD // 9.5SGD
     
  2. My Beauty Diary Life Stretch Mask (in the middle)
    Gold + Marine Collagen 'flavor'. Box contains 8 masks
    @ 58HKD --> 7.5USD // 9.5SGD
  3. My Beauty Diary Dark Circle Intensive Care Eye Mask (on the top)
    Box contains 5 pairs of eye mask
    @ 45HKD --> 6.2USD // 7.4SGD
  4. SaSatinnie Snail Rejuvenating Face Mask
    Pack of 20, split between a friend, so we each took 10 masks
    @ 90HKD per pack of 20 --> 11.5USD // 14.7SGD
Make Up: 
Yes, only 2 items! 
  1. Etude House - Dear Darling Tint
    Lip Tint in #2 Red Red (RD302)
    @ 48HKD -->  6USD // 7.8SGD
  2. Majolica Majorca Last Expander Edge Meister Mascara
    @ 138HKD -->  17.7USD // 22.6SGD

Polaroid:
I suppose you can say that I went crazy and splurged. It was definitely something I've considered for half of my HK trip before making the big purchase. HK is known for selling their Polaroid items cheaper than other places, but that is if you go where the locals go and bargain. If you do that, there's always a risk that it's a counterfeited, but you got to take the risk.  






  1. FujiFilm Instax mini 25 Limited Edition Rilakkuma Polaroid Camera
    @ 900HKD --> 116USD // 148SGD
  2. Plain Films x7 packs
    Each pack contains 10 films
    @ 39HKD each --> 5USD // 6.4SGD
  3. Various Theme films x9 packs
    Each pack contains 10 films
    The price varies, but less than 90HKD per pack
That's all the stuff I got from HK! I'll definitely do product reviews for some of the items. 
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :) 

Love, 
Rachel
