HK shopping list for the lawyer

The lawyer is going to Hong Kong on Monday! While I have no real wish to visit that place again, it is still a cause for envy that she will be having a holiday while I continue being irritated by fools at work (not my colleagues, it's clients that are annoying me). Plus, HK is the nearest fix for H&M...

Urgh.

So anyway, ms lawyer, here's my shopping list, with pictures as per request.

Firstly, a bunch of Tweezerman products which, according to the website, can be found in these places in Hong Kong:

The Jasmine Room (Check out this article, the place actually looks rather pretty.)
15th Floor, The Loop
33 WELLINGTON STREET
CENTRAL, HONG KONG
(659) 843-8678

Zenith Cosmetics Trading Co. Ltd
RM 201-203 WESTIN CENTRE
KOWLOON, HONG KONG

I'm not sure if Tweezerman will be available in beauty stores such as Sasa and the like, but I'm guessing not as I couldn't find it when I was there.

I'm also guessing that there will be mark-up. I will think about my limit and let you know when we meet on Saturday.

#1
Tweezerman Folding Ilashcomb (USD 7 which is approx HKD 55 and SGD 9.50)

#2
Tweezerman Corner Lash Curler (USD 10, approx HKD 78 and SGD 14)
#3
Tweezerman Slant® Tweezer in midnight sky or neon pink (USD 20, approx HKD 157 and SGD 27.50)


#4
Also, I would like the RMK eyelash curler which looks pretty much like any other silver metal curler at a glance.

RMK counters can be found at Sogo Causeway Bay, Lane Crawford Kowloon and Kowloon Hotel Seibu.

According to a Hong Kong website, it should cost HKD 70 which is approx SGD 12.50.

#5
Lula Magazine. When I saw it in Taiwan, I think it was SGD 20+. But it's being peddled on ebay for something like GBP 20 - 30 so I'm no longer certain I actually saw the right price. If you could sms me the price when you see this, would be great.
There is an agent in Hong Kong according to the website:
Foreign Press Publishing Services Ltd
Ground Floor, 328 Kwun Tong Road
Rommely Chan – Managing Director
HONG KONG, CHINA rommely@foreignpress.com.hk
Tel: 00 852 2566 4183 / 756 8193

Below are the likely locations if it can't be found in the typical bookstores (not that I actually saw any bookstore while I was there).

Page One, 2/F, Century Square 1-13 D'Aguilar Street, Central Tel: 2536 0111
Page One, Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong Tel: 2778 2808
Page One, Harbour City, Tsimshatsui Tel: 2271 5200
Page One, Times Square, Causeway Bay Tel: 2506 0382

Basheer Design Books
, 1/F, Flat A, Island Building, 439-441 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay

#6
Lastly, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Very Black

I'm not sure why Singapore doesn't stock it and I don't know if HK has it but if you do see it in Watsons or the like, please grab one for me. This shouldn't be expensive.

#7
I just need to check prices of the new Chanel Hydramax + Active products at duty-free. I'm still devastated by the knowledge that the old Hydramax has been discontinued. No more gel-creme. What am I to do?

And that would be all I can think of now. Thanks!
