Minimalist Honey

That's the question. A very important one! Picture from Hui Lan Fang @ Taobao . This gown is soooo pretty!! Hey guys!  As titled. Today we will be talking about wedding gowns sold online! There are soooo many kinds of gowns sold online nowadays. Just search 婚纱 on Taobao and you will be spoilt for choices! There are also sites like Aliexpress (who is under Alibaba who also owns Taobao), Wish.com and JJ's House etc. Apart from the variety, gowns online are also very affordable. Almost dirt cheap at times. Which makes us worry about their quality... So... are they really worth it? Let's check it out. My Own Experience As an avid Taobao shopper, of course I tried purchasing some gowns on Taobao. My experience though... I had mixed feelings about it. I bought a white wedding gown and a coloured gown. Both through EZBuy Prime so my shipping was only $2.99. Without Prime, the shipping can get expensive as gowns are very heavy. I got bot...

Hey all!  So sorry that there was a huge gap between my previous posts and this. I was in Vietnam for a business trip and did not bring my laptop along. As a continuation of my previous post where I introduced my Taobao haul of wedding items , I will be talking about the stuff I bought from Qoo10 and Daiso in this post. No time to waste! We have shopping to do! Let's go! Qoo10 Benefits of using Qoo10: Qoo10 is my go-to when I need something fast. Qoo10 sellers often use QExpress, which is Qoo10's very own delivery service and they really are fast! Secondly, it is also easier for non-Chinese speaking users to shop on Qoo10 as most sellers can communicate in English, especially if they are local sellers. And thirdly  Qoo10 often have coupons and you can also easily accumulate points for further discounts! (Note: Qoo10 items change rather fast so there is a chance that the link does not lead to the item anymore. But as of the time and date when I wrote th...

Hi guys! I was shopping a lot during wedding prep (far from being a minimalist before my wedding) and thought I should introduce the items I got from Taobao, Qoo10 and Daiso which I thought were value for money and have high cost performance! For this particular post I will focus on 10 items I got on Taobao so it doesn't get too long. Then I'll talk about Qoo10 and Daiso on the next. Do note that again I have no affiliations with these vendors and am introducing them based on my experience. Taobao I've been shopping on Taobao for 11 years since 2008. I was in Hang Zhou for immersion and that was where I opened the pandora box of Taobao shopping. When I came back to Singapore, I started using the third party purchasing agent EZBuy. I was with them since they started and were called 65Daigou, and bought a Prime membership with them where I only pay $2.99 each time for shipping. Sometimes I also purchase directly with Taobao sellers when I can't find the i...

Today will be another vendor review!   For this post I will be reviewing on my makeup artist (MUA) Rayce Low. This is her Instagram , Facebook and she is currently under BeBlush Makeup Inc . I will also briefly talk about what to look out for during your makeup trials and for actual day makeup along the post.   Rayce was assigned to me as I signed a package with The Gown Warehouse, and chose BeBlush Makeup Inc out of all their MUA partners because the offer 1 free extra touch-up.   Though she has a really good portfolio on her Instagram now, Rayce was relatively new and didn't had much bridal makeup portfolio back then for me to browse. So I was rather worried at first (then why still choose right this greedy woman haha!). But now I am really glad I had her as my MUA.   Morning of my wedding day. Rayce was here at 5am. As mentioned in my review of my bridal studio , The Gown Warehouse, Rayce did both my pre-wedding shoot ...
