Jill Stuart 世界中が We Love Jill! + ViVi November

I got the Jill Stuart 世界中が We Love Jill! mook last week at Kinokuniya.

A mook is a combination of Book+Magazine which is usually the publication of a single brand, filling the magazine like pages with contents about the brand & due to all the information within, it seems like a book.

The previous mook by Jill Stuart came with a portable mirror whereas this mook is just simply a pouch.




The pouch is of canvas like material & the brand name is embellished in silver in the middle of the pouch.


Comes with a little bow charm.


Come with 3 zipper compartments
The first compartment which has lots of pockets.



The second compartment which has slots of brushes, a zipper net pocket & even a little tissue case.


And the external compartment.

With Jill Stuart Blush Blossom compact inside.
The pouch is really spacious and pretty useful with all the compartments and pockets made available.


This mook is well made, however I am not sure if this material is waterproof and I really like the previous satiny one which is waterproof.

It is priced at SGD$31 which is quite a marked up from the retailed price in Japan but if it is compared with the usual prices of the Jill Stuart pouches sold in the counters, this is quite a bargain.


Some pictures of the contents inside the booklet.




I like the product catalog the most which is filled with the product range available.

This mook is worth picking up if you are a Jill Stuart Fan, in need of a well designed cosmetics pouch or you are simply a mook collector.


And I also picked up ViVi November issue which comes with a supplement from Snidel.
I buy ViVi every month and it is not often that this magazine comes with a supplement.


ViVi X Snidel


The supplement is a furry pouch, my iphone & digital camera can be both fitted inside this pouch.


Bronze-gold chain with a rounded pink logo on the zipper.


As you can tell, the pouch is not super well made but since it is a supplement, I will not fault the workmanship.


That's all I have gotten from Kinokuniya last week.

My Dose of Magazines

Went down Kinokuniya with the BF today and picked my staple magazines up.

ViVi Issue 5

 

The supplement that come with this issue, a little pouch with gold chain by Rich.
The front of the pouch.

The back.

The inside.

The material is thin cotten canvas, like those of eco-bag and the size is less than half of the magazine size. I won't say the pouch is really a must have but since I buy ViVi every month, the supplement it comes along is a little bonus.

Biteki Issue 5.

Comes with a supplement of a pink Hana (Flower) pouch.


One side of the pouch with an extra zip/ compartment.


The other side.


The inside of the pouch.

The pouch is made of PVC with the strong
'PVC scent' if you get what I mean and the surface is waterproof. I am not a fan of the prints and color of the pouch but the since it is also a supplement, I won't complain. Anyway, I personally think that the print on the pouch got a 'barbie' feel to it.

The issue also comes with IPSA booklet and come sample sachets.


I have yet to read and flip through the magainze as I gotten pressing assignments to complete. Will get back when I lay my eyes on the contents.

Tsumori Chisato x Shu Uemura & Misc.

I adore the prints this collection and I was really reluctant to spend $140 on the quilted pouch of that cute prints. And I was so tempted to buy a lipstick and either a palette or highlighter from this collection to get a smaller pouch with the same prints as a gift. Swatched both the palettes, I cannot justify paying $130 for any of the palette as I am not a fan of the colors.

Along with a palette or highlighter, tt is a must to get a lipstick from the collection to be entitled to the gift but I hardly uses any lip products other than my lip balms. So I skipped the entire collection only to walk past the standalone counter in ION and spotted an exclusive.

ION's exclusive

Buy a 150ml cleansing oil and an eyelash curler to get 3 gifts.

The main gift which I want!

Cleansing oil + curler

The other 2 gifts, Deepsea moisture 13ml and UV underbase 30ml.
A new lady helped me to get this set of hand cream at a discounted price.
