Or anyone based in Singapore, really. Hello! We should have our own little MAC community.

Nope nothing exciting here. Get the P+P Skin Refined Zone if you need it, it's an Asia exclusive although it's gonna be launched internationally in April.

It's only 10:50pm here, not too late. Oh, there's MAC at the airport, duty free. Your husband might be able to get stuff from there at a cheaper price.

Re: Any Singaporeans here?

I'll send him through the MAC at the airport then...yyiipppee - He so laughs at me when I ask him to buy MAC! But he does as ordered.... isn't that great!
Is there anything else he should see..... He loves turtles, so I've found him the adress for the Turtle museum, and also Singapore Zoo, which is supposed to be good!

Aww he loves turtles? That's cute. If he likes nature he should definitely check out the zoo, bird park, and night safari. The singapore science centre is good too.

You have a good husband. Need to check out which airport terminal the MAC is located at though. I think there's a thread below on that.

I can just check the airport website - thanks so much

I'll send him to see the sience centre too He does love animals, and our 2 little dogs - we've just been SKYPING so he could se them... hi hi

I might even be coming out to Singapore with him next time, in a couple of month, so I'll have to go see all those places too

Take Care, Victoria

I'm based in Singapore too! Although I'm not Singaporean, just P R

I love checking out duty-free when I travel, it's almost close to the prices I'm used to paying back home before in Canada.

Re: Any Singaporeans here?

Hello! I haven't seen you around the boards before. How long have you been based in Singapore? I don't travel very often so I haven't visited the duty free MAC counter. So, MAC is overpriced here (since you mentioned it's cheaper in Canada)?

I'm more a specktra reader than a writer, though I'll do the occasional mega-swatch post.

I find that if I buy from duty-free in SG, then add on my husband's SQ PPS discount of 10%, the prices are *almost* on par with Canadian retail prices (depending on the exchange rate). That being said, US prices are still lower!

I've been here for 2.5 years now, and though there are brands I miss that I can't get here in Singapore (like Urban Decay or Cover Girl), it's also worth it to get access to Japanese/Korean brands like MJ or Kose.

I see. Yeah I guess there are more Asian brands here. I don't use them though, most of my stuff are from MAC. How are you adapting to life in Singapore?

I'm from the School of Social Sciences. How about you?

I still put on makeup everyday though. I guess I'm used to the tropical weather, makeup fading away is a norm for me.

Aww, glad your man enjoyed his stay in Singapore! Nope well-defined is not here yet, I'm unsure about creme team but the counter I usually visit isn't selling it yet.

Cool another SMU person! Yeah it's good that the school is located right in the middle of the city. Very convenient indeed. Hehe. I always conveniently stop by the Robinsons MAC counter on my way home. I don't put eyeshadow to school, but I've turned up with hot pink or red lips before, as well as dramatic cheeks. As expected, I got lots of stares from classmates.

Re: Any Singaporeans here?

The music east and west is more about writing skills... well the prof tells you the things in the book during lectures, but you dont need to listen cos she doesn't do exams lol. but you have to review one opera and one weird modern piece of music.´then from week 7 you need to get in groups and perform something, and write a journal to it... so too little music for me, too much literature lol. and if you have a lot of musical experience you will fall asleep when she tells you the basical theoretics...
