Sweet & Cutie Feb 2010

Picked up the February issues of Sweet (S$19.30) and Cutie (S$16.40) magazines earlier this week at Kinokuniya. Sweet comes with a Cher tote bag and pass case while Cutie comes with a Care Bears zip pouch and mirror.

The Cher logo tote bag is a special collaboration item to mark Sweet's circulation surpassing 1 million copies. Past issues of Sweet that included similar Cher tote bags always ended up selling out. The soft cotton bag feels very well made and is incredibly roomy with a broad base and sides (H26xW375xD14.5cm).



The cheerful yellow and pink heart print is cute!

The pass case is made of PVC and feels a bit cheap.


The Care Bears were my favourite toys as a kid so this issue of Cutie was a must-get for me as the prints on both the zip pouch and the mirror are just adorable! I don't like the new generation of Care Bears toys as they changed the proportions and faces of the Bears. The new generation ones just don't look as cute and plump as the original.


I liked the fact that there are different prints on the two sides of the pouch, which is quite large relative to the size of the magazine.


The next issue of Cutie will come with a Rirakkuma key case while Sweet will include a Rich lunch tote (no pics yet).
