7 beauty products to get your hands on before you fly


If you’re not a beauty fanatic, chances are you won’t bother to set aside “shopping time” when flying through Singapore Changi Airport. For those who want to pick up some good deals (or a last minute gift) but don’t have time or patience to browse and explore, it can be overwhelming trying to narrow down your options when there are so many travel exclusives and great duty-free deals.

And since Changi Airport will soon be offering home delivery service for travelers residing in Singapore who purchase Shilla beauty products on iShopChangi.com or at the airport, it’s becoming so much easier to pick up must-have products when you are short on time.

To help make things even easier, below is a handful of exclusives and powerhouse products that have been tried and tested by yours truly, that I consider to be great items to insert in your next duty-free shopping list. You can also view this post PLUS other travel tips and exclusive information on the Now Boarding blog by Changi Airport!


 1. Estee LauderAdvanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask Set S$252.70


Advanced Night Repair serum is one of those cult antioxidant serums that beauty editors and celebrities have been swearing by for decades, even with the countless new products that launch each year. I’ve never been a huge fan of sheet masks because I find they give very temporary and minimal benefits for all the mess involved. This is the mask that totally changed my mind last year.

PowerFoil uses a simple but effective foil-backed system that “forces” all the repair ingredients to penetrate deeper into your skin layers instead of sitting on the surface and drying up. Pair that with the souped-up antioxidant formula (half a bottle’s worth of active ingredients in one mask) and you have a proper facial in each sachet. Exactly what you need to recover from a flight.


Buying 12 sheets at retail price would usually cost you around $350 but the travel exclusive kit is $252.70, AND throws in a deluxe Micro Essence AquaceuticalTM Mist, serum, and anti-aging crème for free.




Sulwhasoo is one of those luxurious Asian buzz brands that we lust over but hold back from splurging on usually. The classic Perfecting Cushion is popular for good reason. It gives great buildable coverage despite feeling air-light, and has skincare ingredients to hydrate and treat at the same time.

Unlike many other cushions, this contains a unique flexible film-fixing polymer that locks onto skin and keeps that radiant glow intact for up to 12 hours.

Whether you’re traveling and going between different climates, or just need something that can survive the day without feeling dry or heavy, this twin-pack is a great portable option. With a single refill (not including the case) costing $32 in town, I just HAD to include this twin-pack because you get 2 cases and 4 cushion inserts for just $112.50. (Or $56.25 for a each pack, which brings the price below that of some mid-range brands. Score.) 

Perfect for sharing with a friend, or just stocking up.




It might seem a bit counterintuitive to include a brow sculpting product in your duty-free shopping list, but I find it the best time to invest in really good brow products that will last quite awhile. For those who like the idea of brow swords but find the classic hard formula ones from Shu Uemura a bit hard to work with, you might want to check out the MAKE UP FOR EVER alternative.

It comes in a twist-up format so no sharpening is required, and the key difference is the formula is a little softer so you can fill in your brows easier with minimum skill. The nifty pen also comes apart and includes a spoolie brush to groom your brows (essential for me), AND a pale brow bone highlight powder to help sculpt and frame your eyes.




If you are a fan of that velvety, texture-less, “flower petal” matte lip, Asian brands tend to do it best. And Shu Uemura was one of the first to come out with a full range of gorgeous colors in that finish.


If you love that K-style bright powder-matte look but have been scared to try it, it’s a good idea to pick up this Matte Gangnam Duo because it contains a vibrant orange-red and vivid fuchsia that are both deep and rich enough to be flattering on a wide range of skin tones – including medium to tan girls – but still bright enough to be on trend.




Originally called Face and Body Foundation, Water Blend is one of the unsung heroes in my foundation drawer because I whip it out on hot days and long days when I want to cheat no-makeup skin. It’s a translucent and lightweight gel that seems to disappear on the skin without leaving visible texture or an unnatural finish, but can build up to medium coverage if you layer it.

The formula is designed to also be used on the body for shoots, so it contains strong film-formers which make it sweat-proof and “rub-resistant” so it stays off clothes. I use it like a tinted moisturizer on hot days because it never goes patchy or breaks down after a few hours, but I’ve also layered it on when I wanted more coverage, and it stays looking like skin.
Tip: rub/pat it on with clean fingers to build coverage.




My favorite way to look sexy and sultry in 2 minutes, is to apply dark liner to my waterline. But my eyes are sensitive, and not every pencil works well there because they either irritate or fade quickly.
Bobbi Brown’s new Long-wear Waterproof Liners manage to do it beautifully. They are creamy enough not to drag the skin and to allow you to smudge and smoke them out quickly. Then they set and lock on for hours.




I am not a fan of ultra-dry matte liquid lipsticks. I very much prefer the creamy, luxe-feeling alternatives that don’t crack, wear off in patches, or emphasize lines on the lips. Burberry Liquid Velvets are one of my all-time favorite matte lip cream formulas, but the hefty pricetag (and the fact that many shades are constantly sold out online) can be a bummer.

Well skip the $46 pricetag and pick it up on iShopChangi.com for $38. Plus, you can locate out of stock colors like Bright Plum and Magenta easier too.

Tip: to get that softer “couture velvet look” like in the Burberry campaign, don’t overload your lips with product. This has enough opacity even worn with a light hand. Swipe once on the lower lip, press lips together, then use a clean brush or your pinky to smooth and spread the color out to the edges of your mouth. You should get a beautiful soft-matte mouth without any hard edges.

P.S. ishopchangi.com is celebrating their 4th birthday this September so keep your eyes posted on Instagram @makeup_box for an exciting contest where 4 readers/followers will receive a generous shopping spree for free!

  1. Testimony of financial breakthrough from GOD through the help of Funding Circle Loan INC. (fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622)...

    Hi I'am Evelyn Russell resident at 808 NE 19th St Oklahoma City, I am a single mother blessed with 2 daughters. For a while now I have been searching for a genuine loan lender who could help me with a loan as I no longer have a job, all I got were hoodlums who made me trust them and at the end they took my money without giving me any loan, my hope was lost, I got confused and frustrated, it became difficult for my family to feed with a good meal, I never wanted to have anything to do with any loan lending companies on the internet again. Not until I met a Godsent loan lender that changed my life and that of my family Through the help of a fellowship member "a lender with the fear of God in him Mr JASON RAYMOND, he was the man God sent to elevate my family from suffering. At first I thought it wasn’t going to be possible due to my previous experience until I received my loan worth $135,000.00 USD in less then 24hours. So my advise to anyone out there genuinely in need of a loan is to contact Funding Circle Loan INC through this official email:- fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622 and be financial lifted.

  12. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

  15. Hello everyone, Rustik Cyber Hack Service are the only true and guaranteed cryptocurrency recovery professionals. I want to tell you about how I almost had my life ruined by a man who conned me out of $509,278.10 after I fell for a romantic hoax. I fell for this con man, and it damaged my connection with my family. My life savings were stolen by this scammer I met on a dating website while he seemed to be in trouble, and I assisted him numerous times since I was continually sending money through Bitcoin and bank transfers. As a result, I had to declare bankruptcy. I borrowed money to help him, but I later learned that he was a con artist. After a buddy of mine showed me an article about Rustik Cyber Hack Service and how they are capable of recovering any crypto coins Bitcoin, USDT, ETH, Dogecoin, and bank transfer funds. from any type of con artist, i reach out to Rustik Cyber Hack Service discuss my situation, and send all the information of the transfer payment I made to the scam. In less than 24 hours I was able to get through everything and to my great surprise, they quickly retrieved most of what I had lost to my Bitcoin wallet address.
