Elizabeth Arden Haul @ Changi Airport

Hopped across the pond for a short work trip to Malaysia earlier today. At Changi Airport dutyfree, I wasn't planning on buying anything initially but couldn't resist getting the Elizabeth Arden Face Powder Brush with Folding Mini Face Brush as the set was going for only S$29 (usual price: S$41) with any purchase at Nuance-Watsons. Several beauty bloggers had raved about how soft the synthetic Face Powder Brush is, and indeed it felt really dreamy and softer than even the Body Shop's synthetic kabuki brushes.

I also got the Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant (S$10) and Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint SPF15 in 02 Blush (S$28.90). Also got the Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation (S$45; usual price is S$58) for Mag of Makeupstash.com. You can read her review of the foundation here.

If you are interested in Arden's Prevage skincare line, Changi Airport dutyfree has very attractive discounts on the line. The 50ml version of the new Advanced Anti-aging Serum costs only S$221, compared to S$331 at the department stores in town. There was also a travel-exclusive set comprising the Serum (30ml) and Day Ultra-Protection Anti-aging Moisturiser SPF30 (30ml) for S$177.
