Robinsons Expo Sale

I went to check out the Robinsons sale at Expo today with my mom. For cardmembers, with every $50 purchase, you can get $5 off (some brands are excluded). The prestige makeup brands available at YSL, Paul & Joe and Givenchy. The prices on YSL were very attractive with Rouge Volupte lipsticks going for S$20, powder foundations for $44 (very limited shades left). They also had lipglosses, mascaras, blushes etc.

The selection for Paul & Joe and Givenchy was very small so not worth making the trip to the Expo for these 2 brands alone. Better to wait for the Prestige warehouse sale at Jalan Kilang (not sure when the next one will be but these take place usually once or twice a year).


There is a 20%+20% off discount on L'Oreal, which had lots of True Match face powders, liquid foundations, mascaras, concealers, blushes and skincare. Other beauty brands at the sale include Avene, Phytomer, Elf, Ahava, ZA.




There was also a large selection of fragrances on sale but the prices are not as cheap as the Luxasia warehouse sale. The brands available include Sarah Jessica Parker, J.Lo, Armani, Burberry, Guess, Gap, Banana Republic, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Carolina Herrara and Diesel. Marc Jacobs Splashes in Lemon, Cucumber and Rain were going for S$75 each. SJP's Covet 100ml was going for S$55 with some gift sets containing the 50ml going at S$50.


Here's my haul: French Connection skirt (S$59) and Gap Dream Body Mist 200ml (S$13.95). I've been a big fan of the Dream scent ever since my university years and have yet to come across anything similar to it. I would have stocked up more bottles of it but it's just so rare for me to finish any fragrance or body mist.

And a ton of snacks for my boyfriend :-)

Haru said...

Hi,

There was no Touche Eclat at the sale but there were some eyeshadow duos and the summer palette (with the bright blue eyeshadow in the middle) with five shades. Didn't notice if there were nail polishes. The color range is quite limited for individual products.

Haru said...

I can't remember what Givenchy had aside from a Prism blush in the refill form, a couple of lipsticks. Sorry!

The Robinsons Expo Sale is on until 15 Nov. I'm not sure when the next Prestige Warehouse Sale at Jalan Kilang will take place. Best is to check out Cozycot's Cosmetics Makeup Sales thread as the info will usually be posted there in advance.

u bought Gap scent there too? I love it too but cant find it else where? Is it still available? At ard which corner?

Haru said...

Hi,
The Gap scents are in the fragrance/beauty section near the exit. There's quite a big stock of about 3 scents in both large and mini versions. They also had Gap body lotions.

Just went there. All sold out! Any ideal wher can i get Gap scent in spore?

Haru said...

Oh no, so sorry to hear that! That was fast! I've seen the Gap scents on sale at Metro Paragon before although I'm not sure if they still stock it. Perhaps you can also try the Robinsons stores in Centrepoint and Raffles City?
