This post is specially for you, Cynthia!!!
:) I hope you'll find this useful.
And for those who happen to want to visit Singapore, here are the best places to go makeup shopping!
For international brands like MAC, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Christian Dior, Chanel, Lancome, Clarins blah blah blah, I would recommend you to get them in the Duty Free at Changi Airport as they are MUCH cheaper than in Orchard Road.
If you want to get a Japanese/ Taiwanese makeup fix, you can drop by Sasa in Wisma Atria (Orchard Road) or Watsons (everywhere you go to there will be a Watsons!) but I would recommend the Takashimaya branch (Orchard Road). Watsons has Fasio, Maybelline, Loreal, Canmake, Gransenbon, Za, Sana and other Japanese makeup brands :D
For Fancl stuff, you can get it from either their flagship store at Takashimaya, or their counter inside Isetan departmental store (Wisma Atria/ Tampines mall). Isetan has Kose, Dr. Ci Labo, Laneige, Anna Sui, Shu Uemura, RMK, Paul & Joe, Cosme Decort (sp?), Givenchy, Origins.... the list goes on.
Takashimaya also has Coffret D'or, Kanebo and Lunasol!
For Korean cosmetics, you can check out Etude House at Ion Mall (Orchard Road/ Plaza Singapura) or Missha (Orchard Central Mall) or... The Face Shop ( Plaza Singapura/ Tampines Mall/ Suntec City/ Wisma Atria) and Skinfood (Far East Plaza *Orchard Road*/ Raffles City Mall).
I hope this sort of helps visitors to Singapore :D
