Today I went out to visit a friend in Causeway Bay. She has a little shop set up in Redmall. The mall itself is pretty small compare to most HK malls and the shops were even smaller. Just big enough to fit 3 people. Every time a customer comes in, I'll have to wait outside her shop. After a while I got bored and walked around this tiny mall to see what else was there. Two rows down from her shop, I found a pair of elderly couples running a store. At first glance I thought the clothings they sold were rather mature looking so I didn't go in. The second time when I was walking around, I noticed on the back shelf they were selling COSMETICS!!!
I went in and found a few MAC, Shu Uemura, Shiseido, etc. It was mainly lip glosses (which I'm not interested in). I bought MAC blush Dollymix and Mancatcher from the Lure collection. I also bought an unused eyeshadow duo from a brand name Colour Zone. For all these items, it was only HK$100 (approx. CND$14). I was flipping for joy inside my head!!!
After chatting with the couples, I found out their daughter was a mini star in Hong Kong. She's always buy new stuff and purging the old. The elderly couples resold her old items because a lot of them were still pretty unused. Apparently they've been reselling the stuff for a while, because the mother said a lot of regulars would come in the next day they've been given a new stack and swept most of them in one go. (O.O)
I hope I can be on the VIP list too. HK$100 for 2 MAC items!? I'm still high from this purchase!
