Review: People's Park (Chinatown) for cheap toiletries! @ Friday, May 10, 2013
Many people may dismiss Chinatown as a laopok tourist trap BUT wait a minute, Chinatown is actually a hidden gem ;) In this post, we're gonna introduce you guys to the best place to buy your toiletries from! It is none other than People's Park located at Upper Cross Street!
Take the escalator up and walk allllll the way to the corner and you'll find many shops selling a wide array of toiletries. The one we visited is Swanston Your Essential Store.
The toiletries they sell are much cheaper than that sold in supermarkets or drugstores. For example, a bottle of Asience shampoo may cost around $14 in supermarkets but it is definitely $10 or less at Swanston! Pads and shower wash are also dirt cheap! :D
Other than the boring shampoo and body wash, you can also get Maybelline and L'Oreal make up there at almost 20% off! They also carry skincare products from Olay and many other brands. Are you excited yet?? Below is our haul from our recent trip!
Serena and I ran out of shampoo and we're super excited to try the "Purely Smooth" shampoo from Essential! Review for the shampoo and conditioner will be up soon!
Essential Damage Care Purely Smooth Shampoo and mini sized conditioner, $8.90
Colgate Plax Fresh Tea, $7.80
Laurier Relax Night 27cm, $2.30
Laurier Relax Night 35cm, $2.40
Biore Make Up Remover Refill, $7.80
Rexona Women Whitening Deodorant, $5.80
Dove gofresh Body Wash in raspberry and lime scent, $6.40
Glade Scented Gel in Lavender, $2.40
Oral B Toothbrush (In packs of 3), $9.50
