Chinese Magazine Coach Review: Magazine

Vogue Taiwan November 2011 X Coach 70th Anniversary Luggage Tag

After a high-tea session at G Tower on last Sunday, me and my friends proceed to KLCC to do some shopping. As my friends wanted to look for a sports shoe next door of Kinokuniya, I went for a quick magazine shopping myself.

I came home with 2 magazine. The first magazine is Vogue Taiwan November 2011 which comes with Coach 70th Anniversary luggage tag. The magazine is selling at RM37.47. No intention to get this but I couldn’t resist the cute luggage tag which look like a blow-up Coach hang tag and I needed to get something in order to enjoy 20% discount for HbG 2011 AUTUMN/WINTER Fairy Sky mook.

Vogue Taiwan November 2011 X Coach 70th Anniversary Luggage Tag – RM37.47

The magazine is boxed in a custom made box which resemble a luggage bag while the Coach luggage tag is hanging on one side. Creative!

The duo luggage tag is in gold colour. Yes, it’s two luggage tag instead of one. I’ll tell you why. It looked perfectly fine on the picture below but there’s a purpose for the second luggage tag attached.

You can’t expect Vogue not having their logo on the tag right? So it makes a perfect sense. They doesn’t want to spoil the brand item so they include a second tag in order for them to do whatever logo printing they want on the second tag. Second tag looks a bit cheapo to me.

On the back of both tag, there’s a clear window for you to slot in the paper which contain your details.

Definitely a Coach collector’s item for me 🙂

Casa+Living Magazine Chinese Magazine Crabtree & Evelyn Review: Magazine

Casa+Living X Crabtree & Evelyn Skin Nourishing Mask

Thanks to SaltVinegar, I got to know about this freebie and I bought a copy of Casa+Living which comes with a full size Crabtree & Evelyn Skin Nourishing Mask 100ml on Monday at Kinokuniya. I have no idea what magazine is this and I still haven’t open the shrink wrap yet lol.

Casa+Living October 2011 – RM12

Free gift comes in a gorgeous paperbag

Nice interior paperbag right?

The freebie of the magazine.

Crabtree & Evelyn Skin Nourishing Mask 100ml. No idea what is the value of this,

Box opening is secured with a tape. So I opened the bottom which is free from any tape to check the tube inside.

Nice design on the tube. It’s very soft and fluffy kinda feeling when I’m holding the tube. Kinda weird though.

What is the mask for and benefits in short.

Directions for use. This is a wash-off type of mask.

P/S: Sorry for the warm picture. I was testing out a feature and never knew this came out too warm hehehehe.

Updated 1/10/11 – Don’t buy this. The mask scent is too strong and overpowering. Make me dizzy whole night even after washing the mask away.

Haul from Kinokuniya

After a few weeks not visiting Kinokuniya, I came home with these.

Elle Wedding Taiwan comes with Majiami sample in a can case – RM29.31
The one I got is purple can case as that’s the only one Kinokuniya have.
There’s 4 colours to chose from according to the back of the supplement box.

This is a beautiful can case with a diamond-like feature.

There’s description on the back of the case but it’s a sticker which was pasted on the shrink wrap.

To my surprise the manufacture date is 18th Aug 2009!
Upon opening the case, I was delighted with how neat it is. A leaflet was also included. Read on.

A mirror is attached on the lid! How delighted.

Another surprise I get once I moved the leaflet. The sample tubes were arranged nicely and it’s not sachet or whatever. 

Eye Circle Concealer with SPF 30 1.5ml, Instant Brightening Corrector 2.5ml

Instant Wrinkle Eraser 3ml, Incredible Make-up Base with SPF 50 6ml

I also picked up a copy of local Womens Weekly magazine June 2011 issue. The magazine is priced at RM5.80. I wanted to enrol to Clarins youthful body workshop which is why I bought it.

The freebies in the magazine is just a sachet of Protex 24 hours antibacterial protection and a packet of Kleenex Ultra Soft tissue.

Along with this I also grabbed a copy of Marley & Me! I spotted this book on the shelf while I was walking towards the cashier counter. I love reading books but I read too fast therefore I seldom buy any books as it’d be a waste for me.

Marley & Me by John Grogan – RM32.90

So cute!!!

I’ll start my reading on these 3 magazines and book tomorrow 🙂

Chinese Magazine Review: Magazine Vogue Magazine

Vogue China March 2011

Dropped by KLCC yesterday to pick up my cheque book from Maybank. I decided to take a peep at Kinokuniya on what’s the new arrival and I spotted this magazine at the Chinese magazine section.

Vogue China March 2011 comes with 4-pieces of PVC pouch – RM30

Back view – a SKII notebook is also included!

Magazine free gift notification on a side of polybag.

Another notification on the other side.

Supplement that was included. Pouches are nicely pack in another polybag with a cardboard at the back as support.

All 4 pouches size was indicated at the other side of the polybag.

The larges pouch is in striking Pink colour with a huge “Vogue” word on it. Pouch measures at 320 x 230 x 0.3mm.

3 out of 4 pouches is a ziplock pouch.

Second large pouch is in milky White colour. Pouch measures at 220x150x0.3mm. The pouch was stained with green colouring from the Green pouch :(. There’s a breakage at the ziplock and I exchanged with a new one this afternoon.

Third pouch is a striking Green pouch. It measures at 150x100x0.3mm. I plan to keep all my traveling bills for claim with this pouch.

Smallest and 4th item is not really a pouch but a tag or card holder. It is in striking Orange colour. This measures at 65x95x0.3mm.

Also included with this magazine is a SKII notebook.

Simple back cover just like the front.

Let me share with you what seems like a hand painting pictures inside the notebook. Enjoy.







Chinese Magazine NewTide Magazine Review: Magazine

NewTide January 2011 with Exclusive Goodie Bag

Dropped by Kinokuniya KLCC today during lunch time for just 30 minutes. Nothing interesting but a highly anticipated NewTide January 2011 issue is available.


Didn’t plan to get this but why not. Magazine is only RM10!

With the purchase of this issue, we are given a gift box. Here’s the content of the gift box. Each gift box content is not the same and are randomly packed.

NewTide January 2011 issue comes with a gift box worth RM150?? Hmm??

It’s their 36th anniversary special issue.


The red box is nice though. I didn’t expect a gift box. I thought I’d be handed a plastic bag.

Spritzer Fiber drink.

Kinohimitsu J’pan Mind Relax drink.

Bioré Cleansing Oil in Cotton Wipes 10pcs. I’ve always wanted to try this!!

Asience Inner Rich Shampoo & Conditioner sample. I got this before and bought the whole set after trying till to date. This brand is good.

Lucidol Designing Pot. I’m not so sure what this is for but there’s a mirror and 2-compartments inside.

Kingston landyard.

Carlo Rino RM20 voucher and Slimming Sanctuary Activ7 gel sculptor worth RM98 redemption voucher.

I’ve read that some people are angry with the gift bag. But when you think of it…it’s just RM10. I don’t think we should expect too much right? There’s a sample display anyway. Why wanna buy if you think the gift bag is not worth it? We should be grateful at what we have, not complaining at what we should have.

Magazine Haul – 3rd Week Dec

This week magazine haul is rather different. I picked up 1 each for Japanese, Chinese and English!

Haul of the day for the week.

Finally I managed to pick up a magazine copy which comes with a HbG tote bag. I wasn’t liking the previous freebies print but this is nice. I just hope the size is bigger that’s all. The tote is very well-made and sturdy. I encounter zero problem with glue stain, stitching etc haha. Surprisingly the material is kinda hard so the tote could stand on it’s own. As soon as I took the pictures below, I went out with mum and I used the bag. I was a bit nervous to bring out the bag from my room as I bought too much of everything lately. Mum says it’s not that small. Just nice for a quick outing.

CUTiE January 2011 X HbG tote bag. Magazine retailing at RM39.35.

Blurp on cover.

Brand item packaging.

This is how the tote folded inside the brown cardboard box cover.

Presenting. . .HbG tote bag!

Brand tag sewn on the bag which is different from other brand item. Normally they just print the brand name on the bag or pouch. This is different. Makes the bag feels expensive.

There’s 3 pockets on the outside of the bag. Mum was suprised to see that extra pockets

Ahh. The bag also comes with closure button which is a plus point!

Interior lining is purple.

As I entered Kino entrance, I notice the huge promo poster has changed to a new promo. This time it’s Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty magazine freebies! With purchase of the magazine, we are getting a goodie bag with lots of stuff (you can see what’s the goodie from the poster). Goodie bag is redeemable at cashier counter upon paying. I totally forgot about this and only realize I missed this magazine when I was about to leave. Immediately I grabbed a copy and headed to cashier counter.

Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty December 2010 X iS CLINICAL 9-pcs skincare. Magazine retailing at RM20.

From left to right: Cleansing Complex, C Eye Advance, C-15 Serum Advance, C&E Serum Advance, Poly Vitamin Serum, Firming Complex, Eye Complex (sachet), Moisturizing Complex (sachet) & Youth Complex (sachet).

Should have bought a few set more 🙁 🙁

Finally spotted Queen magazine with freebies! I never seen any before but I’ve seen from the tv show. Then I found out that there’s 2 type of stock. One batch comes with freebies and the other is without freebies. No wonder I never seen any.
I spotted this on the “preview” rack. I grabbed from the rack after realizing there’s none left at the magazine section. It was the last copy. Then I spotted another Queen magazine with another freebies which is a wristlet pouch and I grabbed it too. Reason being? It’s the last copy too! After a few rounding I realize I don’t need the wristlet pouch. I had too many. So I put it back for another lucky girl to discover it =)

The one I grabbed comes with Queen 5th Anniversary cosmetic pouch.

Queen Fall Winter 2010 X Queen 5th Anniversary cosmetic pouch. Magazine retailing at RM32.58.

Belly band on the bottom of the magazine indicating the brand item is included.

Unlike japanese magazine brand item, this brand item is just packed in a clear plastic bag only.

I don’t know why my pouch is not aligned properly. It’s slanted to a side no matter how I adjust it. Could it be that the pouch has been squashed in the middle of the magazine for too long or it’s workmanship issue? Anyway, the material outside is satin. Very soft.

Gold 5th Anniversary zipper pull at 1 side.

Normal gold zipper pull at the other side.

First side inner view. Looks OK. Wait till you see the other side.

The other side is bad.


What is that plastic thing anyway? And it’s not properly cut at all.

I like the Agnes B pouch which comes with Elle Singapore November 2010 magazine or the Agnes B pouch from Elle Hong Kong. Too bad we at Malaysia doesn’t have this privilege.
