A big box from TSS....

I was in the bedroom when the courier guy came knocking.

When I signed for this big box, I couldn't remember what did I get from TSS actually.
Hmmm....

It stated: "Fragile".
What could it be??



When I tore open the box in an animal way (haha, exaggerating a lil here) with much curiosity & anticipation,
I was sort of dismayed at the first glance.
Hada Labo Lotion? I have tried before, and was expecting something that I've never tried.
And what's that big big soft pack at the right?
Cotton? I have a feeling it's gonna be something I don't need.

Found my order list inside.
So it's that "The Sample Store Its A Girl Thing" kit that consists of:
 (4 Retail Or 3 Retail 1 Travel) + 16 Samplers

After I lay them out, I seriously wasn't too happy.
Santinary pads: Good try. But I don't even use pads. ;-{
Eyeshadow: Don't even recognise the brand. The only fortunate thing is it's in a shade I like.
Some cure pack(in pink): Never seen before, but can try.
Collagen drink: Not particularly excited. But at least I know it's not cheapo stuff.
Hada Labo Mask (1pc): Hmmm, ok lah. But 1 pc? ;-|
Hada Labo Lotion (10 sachets): Generous.... If it's the usual redemption. But paying for samples that I've tried before? Not exactly worth. To make them seem so much worthwhile, I took an empty jericho face&neck gel container(used last time) & filled it so that it's easier to use.

Conclusion: All this for $10.99 exclusive of mailing fee. Not worth it since I expected something better. And I'm not the lucky 20 to get the clinique product. Kinda disappointing.
Well, guess I will not try this kinda "surprise" kit again cos I'm a more practical person.

Anyway, yah..those item you got is not really *wow* but I think it worth the price hada labo mask $3? then the drink about $8-10 ? because I remember box of 6 is about $50 plus..including the misc...it's about the value of $10+ I guess. so don't be too sad hihihi..
