Book Chinese Magazine Elle Taiwan Magazine English Magazine Review: Magazine Women's Weekly Magazine

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 🙂

Burt's Bees English Magazine Marie Claire Magazine Review: Magazine

Marie Claire April 2011 X Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lipbalm

Last Thursday I dropped by Kinokuniya KLCC during lunch time to pick up a reserved japanese magazine which I decided not to buy it in the end (opps! sorry!) and I picked up this instead. The funny part is my sales rep, Karen picked up the same magazine at 1 Utama! What a coincident.

Marie Claire April 2011 issue comes with a Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lipbalm worth RM18. The magazine cost is only RM7. The main reason for me to get this is because of the unique packaging. I wanna check out what other magazine is doing with their creative buy ideas. I think what Marie Claire did is really brilliant. I love their recycle bag idea!

Here’s the creative buy. The front view.

The back view.

Supplement blurp on front cover. A huge one.

The lipbalm is glued onto a small white cardboard which was glued to their full page advert. Ok. This part looks ugly. I wouldn’t do that. Basically the lipbalm is stuck out and you can actually feel the lipbalm from outside. The reason is they don’t want to make the magazine bulky so they just stuck it like that.

The lipbalm included. There was 5 flavour and I have gotten Passion Fruit flavour.

The part which I always like. The seal on the cap. You need to twist the cap to break the seal. After I broke the seal, I tore off the excess.

The lipbalm is milky white colour and very hard. I don’t like the texture and I don’t like the smell. The lipbalm makes my lips whitish like a ghost haha. I wouldn’t wear it out alone though. So I only apply this before I go to sleep. I still prefer Hada Labo’s Lip Moisturizer which I wore all the time even with my lipstick or lip gloss as the base.

Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty Magazine English Magazine iS CLINICAL Review: Magazine

Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty X iS CLINICAL Goodie Bag Worth RM269

I planned to check out Ikea today but canceled it as I was having a migrain. After some ointment on the back of my neck, I felt much better and I remembered I wanted to get a few extra copies of Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty magazine (read here) which I bought yesterday as the magazine comes with iS CLINICAL goodie bag. Today I managed to persuade mum to tag along! I wanted to show her Kinokuniya and all the goodies there hopefully I can poison her *lol*

I headed to the ATM machine first and I saw only 1 copy on the rack. Mum was more anxious and she said “go buy the mag first! later it’s gone” but I didn’t. After I returned, I grabbed the copy, walked pass the cashier counter and I saw a box of the goodie bag. Then I search around and found a stack of the magazine. I grabbed another copy and showed mum around Kino.

I found out that some of the magazine has a sticker on it indicating the free gift. I always knew the goodie bag is expensive but never knew it’s “this” expensive!

2 magazine so 2 goodie bag =)

With Compliments From tag on the paper bag. Small lil thing like this makes a person’s day.

My goodies for the day.

Gosh. I spent too much at Kinokuniya this week. Gotta slow down.

Chinese Magazine Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty Magazine CUTiE Magazine English Magazine HbG iS CLINICAL Japanese Magazine Queen 5th Anniversary Queen Magazine Review: Magazine

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.

English Magazine Marie Claire Magazine Peugeot Review: Magazine

Marie Claire Malaysia December 2010 X Peugeot 2011 Planner

Marie Claire Malaysia December 2010 issue comes with a Peugeot 2011 Planner. I decided to buy this not because I’m that crazy with diary or planner but because Peugeot is one of my client and I need to see the brand item for research.

This is rather an unusual collaboration for a female kinda magazine with a car manufacturer in the automotive industry. Peugeot would normally decline spending money on non-related projects! I’m gonna cekik them lol.

Marie Claire December 2010 X Peugeot 2011 Planner.

There’s no blurp on front cover unlike japanese magazines. So here’s the planner.

This planner is mainly to showcase most of their new car launched just this year. The 207 is launched just less than 2 months ago and no suprise this is the first picture.

Unusual stuff you see in a planner. I found different “10 things…” on each month.

Monthly planner.

Appointments planner.

Last but not least, notes.

The planner content is very complete I must say. This better serve as a planner in the handbag as it’s very small and convenient to put in handbag and carry around.
