You can’t mention 11.11 without thinking about Taobao and Tmall – especially after how Alibaba, which both of them are under, basically kick-started the Singles’ Day event 11 years ago. In fact, Alibaba actually amassed a total of S$4.8 billion in 2018 in that one single day alone.

For their 11th year anniversary, both sites are going all out with the deals and discounts this year, with free shipping. Start collecting your discount “hongbaos” now to save more, on top of the site’s storewide vouchers and other deals!

To help narrow your search, we’ve curated our top 10 beauty gadget picks from Taobao and Tmall, plus all the shopping tips you need to earn even better discounts.

You also stand a chance to win one year’s worth of LifeWear items and the opportunity to be styled by local fashion stylist, Grace Lim by spending over $250 in a single transaction.
