hmmm. Shu Uemura in Sg is cheaper than in HK, but it's a lot lot cheaper in Taiwan! For eg. the eye masks sell for HKD320 in HK, but it sells for HKD230 in Taiwan! HTHS!!

Okay ... someone said that DHC is available at 7-Eleven online ... can it be bought in store though?

stella, DHC is not available in retail store from what i know and see there personally. Just make a call order, they will deliver to the doorstep within 3 days or so!

Ok! Got that! Thanks for the help girls!

one more thing, stella. I forgot to tell u CDP is cheaper in Taiwan, if u plan to get anything from cdp, get it there. That is what i will do in future. U can find brand like Madino as well....

Remember, the cheapest shu in taiwan is not in the city but in the airport... collection quite limited though, dont pin for the new bonbon.... heeheehee

I don't like the Bon Bons so no big lost there. I was thinking of getting some new e/s & blushers but only if they're at least 20% cheaper than here ... is it safe to say that they are?

CDP ... hmmm heard that the concealors are good but I wou;dn't know which color to get. Any idea how much they are in Taiwan?

Hi Stella!

I use By Terry Foundation in #2 and the second colour of the CDP concealor suits me well.. The lightest colour is a bit too light and hence looks kinda *bright* on my face. I believe they have 3 colour tones in total for their concealor.

HTH :wave:

stella, Cdp concealer is good, i bought here at slightly more than $100, in Taiwan is $80, grab it!!! I use ivory, i think u should be the same too! I will safely say is 20% for most of them, some even more. The idiot e/s pan costs $30 here, and is $20 there!!! Try their e/s too, i like them

Shu Uemura one, i think is less than 20% or just 20%, probably $30 e/s here, is $22-23 there..... i *** get any when i was there last month

Hi Jemay, just wonder if you could tell the exact retail price of CDP concealer in Taipei... I'm going there next month. Thanks~

[atypical]

Thanks Jemay! I told him to go to Sogo. He's coming home tomorrow!

My friend got me th CDP concealor. He had problems telling the SA what concealor was in Chinese so he had someone else translate for him! According to him, DHC is only available online so I guess no DHC for me now ...
