Kanebo Sale (14-16 Nov 2012)

14-16 Nov 2012
11am-7pm
#16-08, UE Square

Kanebo Warehouse Sale started today at their office in UE Square. Products were up to 70% off and included brands like Kate, Impress, Lunasol and Blanchir. There were skincare and cosmetic products and accessories like sharpener, eyelash curler, etc.

I reached there slightly past 11am and was glad that a queue has not formed yet. The sale was held in a pretty small room and didn't seem to have lots of stock in a glance.




After a walk through, i felt that this round it wasn't as impressive as previous's. I also noted that quite a handful of the products have manufacturing dates dating year 2009. Some were 2010 and 2011. I recalled previous sale had "fresher" stock. However, in compensating the manufacturing dates, the products did have very attractive prices (see price list below).

As usual there are people grabbing every other thing into their bag(s) and I wondered if they could use all up those before the products go beyond their shelf life..... I asked one of the staff on the expiration of a particular product with manufacturing period dated year 2009 and was advised: "2 years if never open, there after use within 2 years". Simple counting revealed that since the x date 2009 till now it's been more than 2 years. I wondered why it was put on sale. Shouldn't it be discarded? (HMMPT!) Even with the tempting price, I decided to give it a miss!

After going a few rounds, my loot consists of only a bronzer and some brow liners. As I still have stock for some skincare and cosmetic products I reckoned I shouldn't get more here considering the shorter shelf life. Done with my shopping, I head for payment. While the queue isn't exactly considered long (for such sales) but it was super duper slow! Only 1 cashier! I think I had queued almost an hour. Luckily I wasn't in a rush, else it would have been frustrating. Hope they could do better with more cashiers and fresher stocks next round!
