Sweet × cher

Japanese magazines come with the nicest supplements (furoku)!

The good thing is they are not too pricey but I still have to carefully evaluate which to get haha :D

April Maquia comes with a pouch and two sachets of est’s Liquid Makeup Active Aura White,


HbG tote (H17×W28×D11cm) from April Steady,


April Sweet has a Jill Stuart Cafe felt case (H18×W24×D7cm),


April Cutie with a Cecil McBee lunch tote (H20×W33×D10cm) and mini pouch (H10×W14cm) and,


Lunasol base and point makeup DVD in April Biteki.


Which magazine did I get?

February Sweet - yes an old issue :D


The supplement sucked me in: cher big tote bag and a cher pass case!


The cotton tote measures H26×W37.5×D14.5cm. It’s large enough to carry my shopping items comfortably.

The pass case has a cuter red and pink heart print!



Are supplements a big factor when you purchase magazines?

i wish i had better access to these magazines! most of the vendors who sell these magazines here take the GWP.... =/

ning * star said...

GWP will be something that influence me to buy, but somehow,prices and contents of the magazines are way more important for me. haha! but there will always be UNLESS....ONLY...

May said...

I love how Japanese magazines include gwp. I'm a sucker to that but, j magazines are hard to find in the U.S. Good choice! Love the tote bag:)

*BlingBlingKitty* said...

Yes,I'll chose to buy that particular magazine with most attractive GWP...and so I just bought the sweet & cutie mag for april=)

Wacky Jacky & Silly Willy said...

LS said...

Thats a cute tote! Unfortunately we don't get Japanese magazines here. I saw some in NY but those were marked up above the retail price.

The girl on 5th pic looks soooo cute!!

Catherine said...

I totally buy magazines just for the GWP. The last one I got was Spring for the Jill Stuart tote.

MizzJ said...

That's such a cool concept! North American magazines never come with any freebies :(

Daituf said...

English!!! Tell them to translate into English!!!! :S
I wants to read em purdy magazines too :(

Ahleessa said...

The bag is really cute, but it'll remind me of the singer Cher... hehe~ I wish American magazines can have freebies like these. :(

I'm loving that issue....aside from having a GWP...which of course is one reason why I bought it...but I enjoy looking (not reading..hehe..I can''t read & understand jap) at whats inside...

littlewing said...

Yes! I definitely consider GWPs when I buy magazines, but only for magazines I would actually read. I'm wishing I picked up Maquia April instead of Voce which turned out to be boring. ^ ^;

The Cher tote and pass case look awfully cute though! :D

bowsnhearts said...

Omg...I get Popteen, Cawaii and Vivi every month but I haven't got any freebies at all! I must been getting the wrong mags!

*BlingBlingKitty* said...

I've reserve cutie mag with Cecil McBee GWP but haven't collect it..will do it tomorrow...once I have it will let you know..okay=)
Thanks!

Dina (XYYan) said...

I gree..... the cutest gifts come from these magazines.

It cost way too much to order them here so I buy them whenever I can get hold of them when I am away.

Anais said...

Well, in France we NEVER get free stuff...Or maybe 1 time a year, and that's usually something extremely cheap, useless and ugly :(
I can't believe all the cool things coming with these magasines!!

さらまり said...

There are some magazines I will buy even though they don't offer gifts, but the gifts certainly make me buy magazines I might not otherwise.

I used to really like the fashion of Cutie, but now I mostly buy it just for the gifts haha

Babybubblz said...

I have to stay away from stores that sell Japanese magazines because of GWP. That's such a cute bag. I'm also a sucker for anything GWP lol...sigh :P such bad shopping habits

acutelife said...

those GWPs are definetely factors to consider when purchasing the mags :) nice choice!!

Blair said...

Anais! Something cheap, useless and ugly?! urghh

Japanese magazines are the best! =D

Nic Nic said...

i've been tempted MANY times in buying magz just for the GWP! LOL. but i have resisted ^^ btw SWEET mag put their prices up! I was soooo surprised :O

amynaree said...

the bag is so cute, love the design :)

evie said...

haha those gwp definately influence me to buy those magazines as i do not understand the language! hehe or else i would just buy the chinese version plus they are cheaper!XD

got the cuitie and the sweet! hehe wanted to get the steady but felt that it is too small but they are sold out too..so they help me make the decision! haha

I've been super good over the past 4 months and have yet to purchase one magazine, I literally walk past the magazine stands so quickly when I'm in a convenience store I pretend to not see them. If I ever stop, then it means I stand there for ages looking at the GWP's with each magazine and money comes out of my pocket.
