Innisfree opens in SINGAPORE!

[Check out my posts on the opening of the 2nd & 3rd store in Singapore: 


Hello, everyone! Today I've got an exciting post to share with you all. 

Today, Innisfree opened in Singapore! Of course, being a big fan (see my past purchases), I made plans to go down to the store to check it out. I had planned to go there after work, but by a stroke of luck, I got an off day today! I wasn't that crazy to take leave just to go early! Anyway. I woke up early this morning (body clock!) and decided to go check out the store early. I've been looking forward to this date since August! I am home early, and instead of taking a nap, I decided to do this post because if I procrastinate, I'll procrastinate forever.

Innisfree is located at #B2-34/35, Takashimaya S.C. It is right next to the big fountain at B2 near the Atrium (where people like to sit around & eat). I think its quite a good location! The store is also pretty big for a Korean skincare/cosmetics brand in Singapore. They are also currently having a booth set up right next to the fountain where you can take photos, learn a bit about the different product lines, and also get a free Inni rang handkerchief!! I think the handkerchief is limited, so be quick if you want one. I managed to get one and I love the prints a lot! 
*PLEASE note that for whatever promotions I mention in this post, please check out the details from Innisfree or their facebook to know how you can get them too! 

Some pics of the store & booth. Courtesy of my sis. Didn't take much photos because I was a bit overwhelmed.


I didn't even pay attention to this... ): 

Managed to take when it was clear!



My loots! Huge bag on the left are the freebies!


Starting with the freebies I got....


I managed to get a Inni Rang Launching Bag with my purchases. If I'm not wrong, you can get this if you spend above $100.

Items given in Inni Rang Launching Bag

Cute Inni Rang stickers

Green Tea Pure Deluxe Kit consisting of sample sized Green Tea Seed Serum, Green Tea Pure Cream, Green Tea Pure Sleeping Pack, Green Tea Pure lotion, and Green Tea Pure Skin
I love the Green Tea line and I've already reviewed the serum & the pure cream. These are good for me to try out the rest of the line.

Innisfree Cold Cup

Lee Min Ho Jeju Travel Essay
It's a Lee Minho pictorial. I think LMH fans will love this. Really good quality! So is the cold cup.



And that's all that's in the Launching Bag! :) Lol, I think I secretly wish for more samples because I'm not a super big LMH fan (I am watching The Heirs now though). Any Lee Minho fans here? :)


I also got this huge LMH poster.

Free sheet masks
 I also managed to get free sheet masks by showing the Inni rang handkerchief I managed to get. Again, please check instores for details on any promotions~

And now onto my loots!

o. m. g.
Sorry, I may have gone a bit crazy. I wasn't really expecting to spend much, but the prices were actually really pretty good! I've always gotten my Innisfree products direct from Korea and I was afraid the prices would be marked up a lot in Singapore, but I actually thought the prices were okay!

Not all items are mine though. Don't judge me!

Hand/nail products
I bought nail polishes, hand cream, and cuticle cream. My hands have been really dry lately because I sit RIGHT under the AC all day. Can't wait to try out the hand butter! It really smells good.

Eco Nail Color Basic (10ml): $4
Eco Nail Color Pro (6ml): $4
Canola Honey Hand Butter: $11
Olive Moisture Nail & Cuticle Cream: $5

Face makeup
Only the Mineral Pact is mine. I asked the lady what's the difference between the Mineral Pact & Mineral Powder, and I decided to get the Mineral Pact. She also told me that the Mineral Pact is more value-for-money, if you were to compare the prices and the quantity you get. I also got it because I think the pact will be less troublesome to use. The Mineral Powder is $10 (IIRC). She also shared with me that its useful to use on your hair/scalp when your hair gets oily!! That's awesome. She also recommended the primer. It's really smooth but I passed on that because.... I guess I do have some self-control. lol.

1 Minute Lip Scrub (9g): $7
No Sebum Mineral Pact (8.5g): $17
Tapping Lip Concealer (9g): $7

Skincare products!
I got a new tube of Bija Anti-Trouble Facial foam. I've reviewed it here, if you're interested. I also got a Xmas Green Tea Seed Cream! It's twice the size of the usual Green Tea Seed Cream. I had trouble picking between the red or the white version, but I went ahead with the white. I THINK the usual 50ml pack was $25? $26? I really can't remember. I'm currently using one now (bought in April in Korea) and I like it too, so I went ahead to get this.

Bija Anti-Trouble Facial Foam (150ml): $13
Xmas Seed Cream (100ml): $46

Eye Makeup
I got the Gel Liner & Eyebrow Pencil. I tried the gel liner instore and its sooo smooth. My sis actually got one of it some time ago, but I've never tried it.

Eco Eyebrow Pencil (#4): $6
Gel Liner (#7): $11
Skinny Waterproof Mascara: $17

That's all.

I'm actually a little hestitant to share this post because of some irrational thought that all of you will go buy and all the stocks will be sold out. But aiya, I can't possibly be posting about things I don't like instead. So there you go.

If you do check out the store in Singapore, do come back & share with me what you bought! If you've already visited the store, let me know too :)



*Disclaimer: All items are purchased & paid by me and my sad wallet. I'm not paid for this post, nor sponsored in any way (hahaha I wish). I also don't work for Innisfree (I wish!! lol) nor affliated with them in any way. And again, please check in store for more details regarding any promotions I've mentioned.

  3. Hi, when you're ordering from gmarket, do the items get shipped door to door in sg? Do they charge tax/tariffs?

    1. Yes. Gmarket will ship the items straight to the address you stated. For any parcels from any international websites, you'll not be charged GST if the value is below $400 (if I remember correctly). I've never been charged. I've seen reviews by others from other people in other countries and it seems like it is much less troublesome in Singapore. Just order, make payment and wait for your items at home :)

    2. Okay, thanks for replying :)

      Is ordering from gmarket + shipping cheaper than Innisfree SG?

      Delete
    3. Hmm... It depends on the item and the shipping fee. For gmarket, the shipping fee is more reasonable only when you order a lot of items or heavier items like shoes/bags (see shipping fee chart and you'll know what I mean). It isn't worth it if you just order a few items. So if you buy more, then I think its okay to buy from Gmarket. but the price difference is a few dollars. Like e.g. the facial foam here is only $13, but on Gmarket before shipping, it is already ~$10? Nail polishes on Gmarket before shipping is also about $3.. So it really depends on the items you wanna buy! and also the current exchange rate. I am currently still buying things from SG's shop because there isn't anything else that I'll need from Gmarket that'll make the shipping worth it. Haha, sorry for being so long-winded! Hope that helps :)
