Any Singaporeans here?

[dreamer246]

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

 

[VIC MAC]

Well I'm not in Singapore, but my husband is at the moment Maybe you can tell me if there are any exicting MAC stuff he should get while he is there?

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.

 

[VIC MAC]

Thanks for that And shouldn't you get to bed It's late in Singapore....

 

[dreamer246]

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.

 

[VIC MAC]

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!

 

[dreamer246]

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.

 

[VIC MAC]

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

 

[dreamer246]

Aww you take care too! Nice talking to you, let me know how your DH is liking Singapore.

 

[stickles]

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.

 

[ambidextrous]

I WAS in Singapore for 4 months... on exchange from August to December. I miss it ;__; Oh yeah the prices at Changi Airport are heaven compared to Austria here lol

 

[dreamer246]

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)?

Aww, you can come back to visit Singapore some time in the future!

Which school did you do your exchange at?

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.
