2nd taobao purchases via sea shipment through 65daigou.com

This was the second time I used 65daigou.com, and the shipping came up to about quite a lot, for the whole lot of 50kg. It was cheap compared to the air shipping but the whole process took a darn long time. I placed some orders in April and received the stuff on 6 June. It took about 6+ weeks for the supplier to send the stuff to Shanghai and 65daigou.com to pack and ship back to Singapore via sea shipping. there were 4 huge boxes. I must applaud the 65daigou.com staff for they were really very neat in the packing of 100+ orders  made.



Here's some photos of the purchases.

Agnes B phone cover as Birthday Present

Got this beautiful Agnes B phone cover with swarovski crystals as Birthday Present. Think must be quite expensive. looks and feels expensive and good quality, nice to touch rubberised texture. so thin that I feel the camera lens might be easily scratched when placed flat on table/ rough surfaces. It is the 2nd cover I have gotten as a birthday present from my friends. and M1 gave a set of 3 beautiful plastic covers free as well when I got it as a birthday present last month.

Dr. Hauschka and rhythmic night conditioner

Had 4 pcs of $5 Tangs vouchers which was due on 30 June so I had to spend them before the deadline. There were many stuff which were too expensive. Now that I am getting poorer, I had to cut down on my spending. Armed with the vouchers and the Tangs card, I bought four Hauschka trial sized items at $31 in total. I didn't fork out any cash, just used the rebate in the card.
These are the products.














The lemon bath is quite warming when I rubbed it between my hands. It was also very relaxing. Somehow, it smelt better on my hands than in the bottle. I don't have a bath tub so I couldn't have a bath. Haha.



When I reached home, I realized that I haven't used any of my last  (refer to this link) Hauschka purchase at all. I took out this rhythmic night conditioner ampoules from my cupboard and starting using. According to intructions, I had to use 2 ampoules. The ampoule was quite thin, not viscose. It smelt like roses and was easily absorbed into the skin. However, I felt a bit itchy on my left jaw after applying a second ampoule. ( I am okay now , on the next day)


 Each box costs $205.
 Each box has only 50 ampoules.
 I spent quite a lot last time, I think at least $400++ (couldnt remember my purchase, need to check) to get 20 ampoules free. Each box has 5 trays, each tray has 10 ampoules.

 Instructions from the box.


 Each ampoule is only 1ml. Broke off two ampoules to use.
