I love buying toiletries. Always finding new spot for cheap toiletries. My most frequent patronize shops are SwanSton and Ley Wah at Chinatown People Park level 2 and 3 respectively. Have you heard of it or been there already? I find the price there are slightly lower than most places such as supermarket etc. If you are like me, you should go there to grab your stuff as they carry quite a lot of products for body, hair, skin etc.
Of course you may find it a bit troublesome to purposely go there, out of the way or have difficulties in finding your way back home and many more.... But I think if you buy a lot of toiletries at one go or just happen to pass by, no harm going. Luckily, Great World City has free shuttle bus to Chinatown (please refer to the picture on the right for shuttle bus timing) so during lunch, sometimes I will go there for de-stress.
Anyway last week, I went and did some damage. However, I no longer can upload photos because my office IT disable all our USB ports, my sister's laptop is down, my own place does not has Internet connection and lastly, no one to run for help. Meanwhile, I will try to find related pictures for it.
So what are my damages? They are
1 Shiseiso Tsubaki Damage Care Shampoo & Conditioner (220ml each) - $8.90
2 Adidas for Women Pure Powder deodorant (45ml) - $2.80
3 Half dozen of Annabel black stockings - $3.40
4 3 refill packs of Dettol Original Shower gel (450ml each) - $8.00
5 Blistex Lip Tone with SPF15 - $5.90
6 Laurier Soft Care Super Maxi Wing Sanitary pad - $1.80
Total I spend S$30.80 but if I buy all these from my nearby mama stores, I think may cost slightly more. Anyway if you haven't been to Chinatown for some times should go down and take a look. Beside toiletries, there are also many fashion wear shops and food stalls which are cheap and good.
But if you find cheaper alternatives, don't forget to share with me. Cheers.

Ley wah sells "adulterated" shampoo. There is also a backlane shampoo brand that is apparently "made in canada". Likely their own house brand. I bought the shampoo to try and found it very diluted. Like water. I subsequently Googled n cannot find this brand online !! These made in canada shampoos are not cheap too..about 18 dollars for a small bottle.
Several people have affirmed my suspicion that they sell diluted & adulterated prods !! Once bitten twice very shy!!
Swanton ' products are ok so far. They are bigger and they have a much higher turnover. They don't have time to perform additional work on the products that they sell.
