Flower Knows ~ Moonlight Mermaid

 

This China makeup brand is all over the internet! The main website only ships within USA & China but you can get it here in Singapore @ Watsons, it's kinda pricey but the beautiful packaging inside & outside really makes up for it.


Little Angel is the latest collection from this makeup brand and has these cute little cherubs all over it. This collection has a hydrating primer and a hydrating lip mask. Swan Ballet has these colour correction loose powders so you don't need to match the exact shade of your skin tone. Strawberry Rococo, Chocolate Wonder Shop are older collections that are mostly sold out.

 I think you have to buy across all the collections to get the makeup to use coz the mascara is under Chocolate Wonder Shop and the eyeliners are under Moonlight Mermaid. There are also glitter liquid eyeliners in Swan Ballet.


 I love the faux silver brushes and hand mirror that are actually free gifts with purchase. The hair barrettes, makeup brushes, lash curler, container cups, gift boxes & bags are also free gifts and can be obtained through social media contests.

Panda Mart





This year's CNY gift boxes of Wan Wan rice crackers, Pocky biscuits, Bake Story egg tarts, Win2 potato crisps. I like the mix of different flavors and it even includes limited edition flavors.

This packaging says "Chinatown" and it's always good, can't believe there is still stock available.

Loacker Quadratini wafers are crisp all the time, no need for vacuum sealing. I like the fruit flavors like lemon and here in raspberry. Usually, its chocolates and coffees.

Crispy chicken skin snack that is in all those K-mukbang videos on Youtube. It comes in many flavors and this one is < Ghost Pepper >. Not as spicy as I expected.

Sweet chili tapioca crisps, my favorite snack that I blogged about before. It's meal substitutes like crispy pork rinds.

Kellogg's Unicorn cereal, a special edition of fruit loops. There was a Mermaid one earlier that I didn't buy.

Frozen chicken pie that costs the same as getting it from the bakery. Given up on curry almost completely.

Guardian Pharmacy Home Delivery


More bird's nest, started buying my own after receiving a few boxes from friends and family. It's supposed to have nourishing effects that cover everything from home sickness to bad days.

Omega-3 capsules for mouth ulcers, or I just eat salmon or codfish that have loads of omega-3 in it already. These vitamin capsules can keep for a while.

Chinese medicated oils, inhalers & plasters. I remember when one bottle of medicated oil would last several years.

Personal hygiene items like handwash, shower gels, cotton buds. Still staying away from shampoos, conditioners, facial washes.

Lip balms, even in this hot weather I still get dry lips from staying inside with air-conditioning. I don't know when I do not need this.

CNY Year of the Dragon

 


Takeaway sushi & sashimi! Edamame is the only veggie accompaniment here. Peach liquor enough for two.


Love letters with spicy shrimp salt (hei bee hiam), quite different from the usual coconut love letters I usually have at this time of the year.


Trying out Japanese veggie juices for the first time, everyone says it's sweet and can be substitutes for soup. 700ml like wine bottles.

Classic yusheng that I cannot do without every CNY. Toss for good luck!
