Got really excited as I was invited for the official opening of Metro Centrepoint on 27 November! :D

Congratulations on opening their fifth store and second full-line store in Orchard Road precinct! Was totally anticipating what was in store for us because I heard that at this new Metro located at Centrepoint, there will be new brands, which includes a new shopping and retail experience that will delight all shoppers. And I must say that I really enjoyed myself, shopping and exploring all the 6-level at Metro Centrepoint during the official opening! It was so much fun!

Level 1 - Beauty & Wellness

What awaits us at the first level, was the inviting and expansive range of prestigious cosmetics, fragrance and wellness brands! One of the main delight of the new Metro Centrepoint experience is the MD Dermatics Hands & Nail Bar, which provide pampering services such as manicure (Classic + Gel), pedicure (Classic + Gel) or even an invigorating foot scrub.

Peishi was there at the official opening too and she's trying out the hand massage!

I also gave it a try too and it was really good! Leaving with our hands soft and moisturised.

Level 2 - Women's Fashion

Which has all sorts of apparels, intimates, shoes, handbags and other accessories for you ladies! I really like how they give the international brands an upgrade with new exciting additions with more fashion offerings than before!

During the day of the official opening, there were even booths with flowers there for the shoppers too!

Look at how pretty all these gerberas are! Love the colours!

Level 3 - Men's Fashion

Then we are finally at the Men's department which houses fashion labels that are unique with their own signature designs and style that will form the foundation of all our wardrobe! While shopping around the level, I realise they have five new private labels (Kurt Woods, Jo Burton, M.Maison, Kiro & University Club) that takes the centre stage apart from all our favourite international brands. Personally I feel that it's really a good mix and we definitely will find something that suits us with such a vast selection of apparels, intimates, shoes, bags and accessories there!

One of the five new private labels that caught my eyes was M.Maison. It's first-ever apparel line that is made up of understated cotton collection in hues of the weathered denim and indigo blues.

I think the appeals are perfect for young working adults (like me) or guys who just want to look good effortlessly due to the simple yet contemporary design. Another one that I like is KIRO, where we can find affordable smart suiting options.

Looking for Panama hats or Pasotti canes? You can find it all at the men's level! They really have a wide range of accessories too which I think is very important because it adds the zest and zing to an outfit.

They also have a vast collection of sunglasses by international and local brands too.

Love their store layout and design, it's so different that really enhance the shopping experience. For a well-rounded experience, they also have Samsung there to provide you with the latest technology needs.

There was also a shoe shine service specially for the guests at the Men's fashion level during the official opening day!

Thought I might just give it a try and it's first time getting my shoes shine!
What an experience to shop and getting your shoe shine at the same time! Pretty awesome!



typicalben metro centrepoint 7

The guy who is shining my shoes is so nice and sweet! Thank you!



typicalben metro centrepoint 9

All clean and sparkly! ;)

After it's done, I continued to shop around! There's really a lot to explore!

  2. I have been always looking for a one-stop destination where I can find all things good catered to anyone, everyone. The new Metro definitely attracted me with their vast selection of items ranging from clothing apparels to home ware, and even selections specially for kids! Additionally, there are exclusive and highly sought-after international brands which are available in Metro! It totally revolutionised retail shopping for me––happier and hassle-free shopping. I definitely want to shop with Metro now!!! :)

    I hope to win this because despite working at Metro quite some time, I didn't buy anything since Metro isn't exactly attractive for teenagers like me. But after reading this post, I really want to visit the Metro at Centrepoint! I can't believe they have a hair salon in there and I've been gushing to my friends about it non-stop since I saw it on your blog O.O

    I also think it will be awesome if I could bring my mom there, pamper her and let her choose what she wants to buy because she slogged half her life to bring me up but seldom spends on herself and refuses to let me pay for her once in a while. I bet she'll be willing to shop and pamper herself for once if it's free :P

He must be excited to go there as it is totally kids' heaven!! Not forgetting level 1 which provides beauty services such as the nail bar! Would love to try it out someday!!

  8. There are many Metro outlets in Singapore, but this one at Centrepoint stands out because of its facilities! Typical Singaporean girl, the place that caught my attention is definitely the nails section. What's better than having pretty nails after having to shop at Metro? (the thought of it is just wow) . Although I wish i was still a kid, so I'll be able to enter the playroom, having the time of my life, but on a brighter note, it's better as we won't expect any kids playing catching along the clothing area or having to worry they're lost. it's literally like heaven..on earth(haha)! Definitely will check the place out REAL soon!!

    Joanne Koh: Approximately one more month to Chinese New Year, I believe the new Metro at Centrepoint will be the best place for my family outing; shopping in getting ready for the year of sheep! What's best, across the levels, everyone will be able to find your paradise! Level 1 will definitely be my first stop! :) Metro; Taste of paradise and the smell of home!

  14. Haven't been back to Singapore much over the last 2 years, much less visited any megastores here! I used to frequent Metro quite often with my family before I started going for my overseas placements. Its one of the places where everyone can pretty much agree on going since it provides such a wide variety! Tech & gadgets for the brother? Furniture shopping for the father? Clothes shopping for the mother? Beauty and makeup for myself? ALL checked! Winning this $50 voucher before the upcoming CNY will only probably help in cushioning the huge hole in my pocket cos I'm pretty certain I'll be spending WAY more than that in the Metro Centrepoint hahahahahahah

  16. Hey! I want to visit the new Metro Centrepoint because I have already been there before and I LOVE the layout of this Metro as compared to the other outlets! Especially during the x'mas season, the whole Metro was decorated so beautifully. :)
    And the huge variety of goods there ensures there will be something suitable for the whole family/clique of friends! The previous few times I entered the Centrepoint Metro, I just had to spent at least 2 hours inside each time. This definitely shows how awesome the place is! And with the gift card..I think I will end up spending more than 2 hours inside Metro eventually hahaha.

    I would want to visit the new Metro Centrepoint because my mum loves Metro and hopefully, I will get a chance to bring her to the brand new Metro Centrepoint and pay for her shopping with the voucher! After seeing your blogpost, I am really WOW-ed by the changes that Metro has went through. Ever since young, I always had the impression that Metro was for adults and for the elderly. However, I am really amazed that the new Metro Centrepoint looks sooo new and chic and the christmas decorations are so insta-worthy. Furthermore, I LOVEE the hairsalon in Metro. That's definitely the first hairsalon I ever saw in departmental stores. It looks so beautiful that it's hard to believe it's located in a departmental store. After reading your blog, I am convinced that metro is not only for the "Adults" as they do have stuff for teenagers like us too! I really hope I can win the gift card so I can have a fun-filled day in Metro with my mum where there are stuff for all ages! :-)
