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.

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.

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 😉

Clinique Coach Doll Lash Freebies Mina Magazine Sisley Vincci

Crazy Day

What a crazy and nonsense day I had today. Traveling from Kajang -> Mid Valley -> KLCC -> Mid Valley again -> Kajang is just nonsense.

First stop. . .Mid Valley.
I needed to pick up my Doll Lash eyelash curler rubber replacement courtesy of Empro and to buy a Vincci shoe as I have a RM50 rebate voucher plus they have free Clinique stuff.

I picked up my Doll Lash eyelash curler rubber replacement first and waited for Vincci to open their store. Then I got myself a black pump and paid just RM39.10 after 10% discount and RM50 rebate. After that I headed to Clinique Service Centre (newly open) to redeem my free gift BUT was told redemption will only start after 12noon?? What the hell is wrong with people nowadays with the norm of using the phrase “redemption will only start after 12noon”. It’s not stated in promotional flyer and I was lazy to argue so what the heck.

Doll Lash Eyelash Curler rubber replacement.

Black pump retailing at RM99. I paid only RM39.10 after 10% discount and RM50 rebate.

Second stop. . .KLCC!
Main reason is to get my Sisley Paris free gift and collect my reserved Mina April 2011 issue. But ended up getting this oversize clutch when I was about to enter Isetan. Sisley BA tried to sell me their “best-seller” which is a mask which is around RM200+? After that she tried conning me to buy their trial kit which is even more expensive at RM300+++. I just bought Clarins products a few days earlier and it’s impossible that I would spend another 300 to buy some product which I didn’t even know existed. Also I hated the smell.

Oversize long clutch RM39.95 after 60% discount.

Maybankard offer with Sisley worth RM120.

Mina April 2011 issue comes with Coach tin case with notepads and sticker.

Then I rushed back to Mid Valley at 11.30am to pick up my free gift from Clinique. Really waste of time, petrol, parking fees. If redemption starts at 12noon, they should state in the brochure! I think they’re just fooling me around. I shall email Clinique on this.
