Muji, Muji, how I love thee.
So the other day I did some hauling – I noticed some bargain bins in the store and ended up picking up some random bits which I thought I’d share!
Remember when I reviewed The Japanese Skincare Revolution by Chizu Saeki?
She recommended using a swan neck bottle to perform a water massage on the face. I could not find a swan neck bottle anywhere (there might be another name for it!) but I saw on in the Muji bargain bin for just £1 in small and large sizes:
I am addicted to plastic storage at the moment for depotting skincare and make up as I am planning a holiday. I like the look of these squeezy bottles (not in the sale) because I think they’re ideal for foundation (easier to use than a tub or a bottle where you just can’t get the last bit out!).
Muji has really stylish, really lovely travel pot options by the way!
I also bought this Laundry Paper for £1 – I figured it would be useful on holiday incase of underpants shortage!
Obviously I have to buy stationery when in Muji!….
I bought this pencil case for £2, a dual ended highlighter, a pack of 6 gel pens (these are the best) and a rubber that comes in pencil form (yet I don’t have a pencil anywhere!).
I need a pencil case, I always carry pens loose and I end up with about 12 in the bottom of my bag. You know how some people’s worst nightmare is to forget their wallet? Mine is to forget a decent pen because god knows I can’t write with biro.
I bought this Japanese style ID/Pass holder, £4.75 down to 75p
I also noticed a new release, these handy notebooks with tear out pages. I bought one which is a to do list and this one – so useful for planning videos.
Finally I had to buy a birthday card for Mr C’s Grandad’s whopping 82nd birthday!
I got this one that is like a cardboard plane. They also had a flower one and some kind of animal:
So that’s my hauling style!
Bought anything cool lately?
omg I looooooooooove Muji too!! This week I picked up some storage for my make-up…I got the ones that are used for storing MDs (I don’t know anyone who uses MDs anymore lol). I love them ‘cos they have the partitions, so are great for keeping my make-up in some sort of order! Had to go back for a second case ‘cos one is sadly not enough lol
Sadly didn’t see any bargain bins but you can guarantee that I’d be having a good old root through them! I’ll be keeping an eye out for them next time I’m back at Muji!
I once got a whole bunch of great ink stamps from the bargain bin in Dunelm Mill. And speaking of ink stamps, I also found the cutest Japanese-themed mini stamp kit in Accessorize this week, it has it’s own little carry case haha I’m such a sucker for cute packaging!
That’s funny I was talking about Dunelm Mill a while ago – I thought it was juts a mill not a shop!
I need to go and buy some Muji stuff for my holiday! BTW I used to use muji for my mini discs! No one uses them any more
Nifty! We just got Muji over here, though right now the number of stores is very limited and we don’t have a large selection over here. I’m hoping that the stores will take off, because I really miss being able to shop at Muji! When I lived in Japan, I loved, loved, loved shopping there. The bargain bins are the best!
I love bargain bins in most shops! hehe!
