Toys'R'Us for Me!




My order @ Toys'r'us came in time for New Year's, reviewing everything and hopefully nothing breaks. Pricing was ok for me, averaged 40% discounts across the entire purchase.

 

 Twisty Petz, there's also Twisty Girlz that is not here. These pet figurines pull out into bracelets that connect up into necklaces. Different series have different types of beads. Twisty Treats Petz is this plastic figurine that pulls out into several plastic medallions. The pulling action is not smooth at all, the tail cannot connect into the head and there is nothing scented here. As I found out later, it does serve a purpose.

The family pack of Twisty Petz, the smaller animals pull out to form rings and the bigger ones into bracelets, connect everything and its a necklace! I love the bigger ones that have glassart details and crystallize spacers. The big ones can connect to the small ones but the small ones cannot connect to the big ones, this is where Twisty Treatz comes in.

Blinger for the hair mostly, but you can also use it on clothing, caps, bags, shoes. I might still want a Bedazzler, think it may be more permanent than this. I think these crystal stickers were sold @ This Fashion before, its pretty lasting for stickers. I used up one round on my wristlet. Definitely looking for more accessories to put these on.

Shimmer & Shine magic genie bottle that plays 15 different sounds & tunes from the TV cartoon series. There's a toy microphone version of this that all the cartoon series have. The styling and colours remind me of Anna Sui cosmetics, I could put this amongst my Anna Sui cosmetics and it would blend right in. Batteries already included.

Reebok x Gigi Hadid


Found more celebrity x brand collaborations on Zalora.sg. It's supermodel Gigi Hadid with Reebok sportswear and 3.1 Philip Lim with Fila sportswear. Both are cozy track pants, cannot wait to try it out in cooler weather. 

Kinda disappointed with the quality, the picture and the actual item are worlds apart. Peachy pink turned out as khaki nude and material is waterproof nylon instead of cotton terry.

The only other brand in this purchase is Levi's and I bought 3 pairs of jeans in regular fit white, button-fly light & dark denim. Comes with matching shirt tops also from Levi's.

One regular fit denim jacket in plain washed out blue, there are tons of fancy denim jackets available that I would prefer but maybe next time. Also one red sweater with the brand name in the same colour. And one striped Tee without the brand name on it.

Swarovski Crystals x Penelope Cruz



The whole Penelope Cruz x Swarovski collection is diamond dots and 10 pointed stars, very wearable and current. I thought I was going to buy a lot, as it turned out I only got 1 hairpin. Retail price $649! I think a gold-plated version of it would cost that much.


It came in this big white Atelier box and I have the say the hairpin is incredibly well made and works much better than a lot of the other hairpins I own. It's a bit on the heavy side but secure enough to stay in place on my hair.

It's these Swarovski crystal bracelets in 2 designs of round or pointy. I thought I was going to get more to give away but there's only enough for myself. There are 15 colours to choose from and the packaging is really compact. I got a black pointy one & round green one. 

Iconic swan earrings with pearl backing, I received a Chomel version some years back, its a floral design crystals with pearl backing. Swarovski actually has trademarked crystal pearls that cost 2x or even 3x the price of regular hobby pearls.

Is it Christmas already?



Didn't get out to see the Christmas lights this year but I did get to order Christmas groceries online. Pre-cut fruit cake without whisky or rum, panettone with choc chips, Starbucks Nespresso holiday blend, Almond Roca buttercrunch bites.

Entered 2 contests from Glade air fresheners & Allswell local drinks. There's also the Christmas draw but I've never won that before. I also ordered more local coffee, tea & juice...full moon harvest sounds like Halloween. 

More frozen pizzas, cup noodles, wontons to add into my cup noodles, instant burgers & potato chips. Haven't seen these potato chip flavors before, Jalapeno Ranch & Glorious Pesto. The pizza dough changed to panini bread flour.

 Just because its Christmas, there's this log slice of garlic & herbs cheese.

LiZiQi Merchandise



Finally, ZiQi (pronounced zee qee) merch in Singapore, now we just need DianxiXiaoGe merch available. I follow these 2 China-based youtube stars and they show how things are made from scratch over there.

It's actually her brand of LuoSiFen instant noodles, it's a treat if you can find luosifen noodles in China. The packet for one portion is huge for a big bowl and its super spicy, I added lots of water to wash the noodles in. No snails here tho'.

I also got 3 HaiDiLao instant cup noodles in the 3 HaiDiLao flavors Tomato/SourSpicyVege/SourSpicyTripe. My sis gave me HuaJiaJiangHu seafood instant noodles, it has real seafood inside and thats quite the hot topic online.

Stocked up on IndoMie, Indonesia's Best Instant Noodle. I think Mee Goreng is everybody's favorite, close fight between ayam bawang & soto mie. Then there is the new Hype Abis flavors, of which I got ayam geprek & seblak hot jeletot.

More Coca-Cola, 4 cartons seems like a lot but its actually one can a day for 3 people for one month plus 3 extra cans for guests. I bought several boneless salmon fillets & pre-shelled prawns for my cup noodles, these ones from Snow Treasure look like salmon but tastes like white fish.
