Japanese Magazine Mina Magazine Review: Magazine Snidel

Mina June 2011 X Snidel Multi Case

Picked up Mina June 2011 issue today at Kinokuniya KLCC. This issue comes with Snidel multi case which is something that I was looking forward to all this while. I placed my reservation a month ago when I found out about this issue.

Mina June 2011 X Snidel Multi Case cost me RM40.65 after Isetan member 5% discount. Original price is RM42.80.

As this is the 10th Anniversary Year issue, this is a double cover edition!

Supplement blurp on magazine front cover. I’m still liking their nicely done huge blurp.

The supplement packaging remain the same like any other magazine supplement.

But. . .one thing is missing though. The multi case is not wrap with a plastic bag before placing into the cardboard box.

The multi case is made from gorgeous peach colour polyester with polka dots. However I’m a lil disappointed that the case is not properly align before sewing making the design of the polka dots tilted to one side.
Compared with the previous Tsumori Chisato Multi Case that I bought, this is much more thinner material without padding inside unlike Tsumori Chisato one.

Once again, the brand label is also not properly align before sewing!! *slap forehead*

I don’t like to see the zipper end sticking out like that. It looks ugly. I tried sticking it inside but I have difficulties zipping the case. How? I never had this problem with Tsumori Chisato multi case.

The weirdest thing which I don’t understand is although the case is in peach colour, the zip is in mint green or light green colour. Weird right?

Here is the inside view. I love the compartment of this case though! I don’t get this many slots in Tsumori Chisato multi case but I’m glad this is different. This is the main reason why I got it.

I’m not so into japanese magazine anymore though. I can’t clarify why. My only guess is I’m tired with the same freebies i.e. tote bag, cosmetic case, mirror, canvas bag, small bag.

CanCam Magazine Japanese Magazine Proportion Body Dressing Review: Magazine

CanCam May 2011 X Proportion Body Dressing Bag Cover

Picked up CanCam May 2011 issue today at Kinokuniya KLCC which comes with Proportion Body Dressing bag cover. The magazine is retailing at RM45.55 and I paid RM43.25 after Isetan member 5% discount.

The magazine was selling fast. I remembered seeing around 10 copies and luckily there’s still 2 copies left. It has been raining so frequent recently and although I have “Apple Garde” my bag I still don’t like rain hitting my bag. And I was soaked in rain just to save my bag even under the umbrella lol.

Supplement blurp on main cover showing very clearly the usage of the supplement. Just in case some people thought this is recycle bag.

The packaging of the supplement is just like any other supplement of a typical japanese magazine.

The bag cover is covered in a normal plastic. It doesn’t bother me as I need not to be worried about damaged brand item during transit from Japan.

Here is how the bag cover looks like after stucking the whole thing in the attached storage section. I like the idea. It’s easy for storage in the bag and so convenient to bring around.

Tadaaa. This is how it looks like on my Coach Op Art Sateen Hailey.

Coach Japanese Magazine Mina Magazine Review: Magazine

Mina April 2011 X Coach Stationery Set

Pick up Mina April 2011 issue on last Sunday. Mina is collaborating with Coach this time and the supplement is a Coach stationery set. I paid RM40.65 after Isetan member 5% discount which is rather bizarre as the supplement is afterall Coach.


Mina April 2011 X Coach stationery set.

Blurp on magazine front cover indicating what is the supplement included in the issue.

Supplement comes in a box but a soft box.

Back of the box (I normally ignore this part).

This is how the tin case is in the soft box. There’s a few lines of hard cardboard around it to prevent the tin case moving around inside the box. The tin case is wrapped with a transparent plastic to prevent the tin case from scratches.

The upside and downside design of the tin case is different. This is the design on one side. The measurement of the case is vertical 7.5cm × side 10.5cm × height 2.5cm.

This is the design on the other side.

I was greeted by a wonderful colour purple upon opening the tin case. However the inside of the tin case is full with scratches. I wonder how the scratches got there.

Included is a sticker which says “Coach”, “Loves”, “Poppy”.

The mini booklet is pretty! It is measuring at vertical 6cm × side 8.5cm.

Memo pad is also cute. Measurement is slightly smaller than the mini booklet at vertical 5cm × side 8cm.

This is definitely a collectible item for me 😉
