Swanston

I came to know about this shop when I started to work at Chinatown area. My colleagues love to buy their  daily necessities from this shop as it is much cheaper than other shops in Singapore.

There are two outlets located at Chinatown. I will always buy my toiletries there. Difference in prices can be cheaper by up to 70% (eg. Adidas cologne). as compared to Fair Price, Watsons, Guardian etc...

It has a wide variety of products like shampoo, detergent, toothpaste, air refreshener, sanitary napkins, skincare products, and even products like SKII. It is very crowded during lunch time, after working hours and even so on weekends.

I feel that people living in Singapore should give the shop a try as you will be able to save a fair bit of money if you buy most of your toiletries there.

ZA Dewy Effect Cream Gel (40g)

ZA Dewy Effect Cream Gel (40g)
Price: S$20.90

 

Pro: Attractive packaging
Cons: Price, oily

As its name states, the texture of this product is between a cream and gel.

It doesn't clog my skin. However, I feel that this product is too rich for my skin but not moisturizing enough (makes my skin feel oily and sticky but yet tight after using). Even after applying for 15-20 minutes, I still feel like there is a layer of oil on my face (not absorbed into skin).

I feel that the price for this product is slightly on the high side, as the content is only 40g - only last for about 2 months.

I won't buy this product again as I think this product is not suitable for my skin type. I believe it would be more suitable for dry skin.
