2 weeks since arriving back here and my body is still in shock from the cold. Missing my mid-winter summer skin and the constant sun. I ended up accumulating a bit of skin care products while I was there.
There’s always the question of whether to buy designer items such as skincare or perfume from DFS stores at the airport in NZ or get it overseas, the answer is get it overseas especially if you’re in Asia. Nine times out of ten the product will be at least 20% cheaper more likely to be closer to 30% if you’re in Hong Kong or Singapore. For instance: I got my MAC lash primer from Changi airport for 21 SGD (roughly 21 NZD) and here they sell it for about 27 at Auckland Airport. Only downside to that is it will weigh you down when you’re traveling. A very handy trick of the trade is to buy your goods from DFS in the city prior to your travels. This allows you to have the option of picking up your goods on your way back into the country so it doesn’t weigh you down.
Despite the more expensive buy overall at DFS even being tax free, it definitely saves on the luggage space which was much needed for my trip.
My trip was mainly for diving and visiting family in Hong Kong. Shopping was just for filling in time in between meeting people. In saying that I managed to buy shoes, pants and a few tops.
Plenty of reviews and look books to come! Watch this space!
