Hi. I'm Xue and I'm a incurable shopaholic. 
After spending the entire day online surfing CC and MUA boards, while checking out e-tailers, I suddenly realised how addicted I am to shopping! Especially online shopping.
It's crazy how tempted I get to buy all these strange products (Whipped Body Frosting? Scented triple-wick candles in the shape of cakes?) just by reading biased descriptions, raves from online strangers and seeing pretty pictures. I'm discovering new 'needs' I never knew existed!
This led me to wonder - how many more out there are as hopeless as me?
How often do you window-shop online?
Every day at least! Every other hour I'm free it seems.
How often do you shop online?
Every month at least. Usually once a week if you include CPs I request from lovely friends back home.
Trying my best to cut down!
How much do you usually spend on online shopping?
I only started since moving to London, where prices outside are scary and the cold is disgusting! So far, thanks to SSC, I've spent about S$100-200 each month on online shopping alone. I don't even dare begin to calculate how much it'll be if this included CPs!
What tempts you into making purchases?
Definitely reviews from 'real' people! Especially people I 'know', like in CC. All these 'enablers' and temptresses lurking around just luring my credit card out!!
I'm also tempted by gorgeous pictures and alluring descriptions. Such a sucker!
What are your favourite e-tailers?
Haven't been shopping online much (lying through my teeth!)
But so far, I like SweetScentsCandles' customer service most.
Would love to hear from the rest of you! I'm sure there're lots of Cotters out there with confessions to make too.
