Snatch Up Luxury Perfumes, Makeup & Bags Worth Over $60 At This Claw Machine Arcade In Town
Forget about trying your luck at regular claw machines full of plushies and candy — we've got a challenge that beauty and fashion girls simply can't pass up! iClaw Taiwan, a claw machine arcade located at Parkway Parade, has just rolled out some exciting new machines featuring the luxury goodies of our dreams.
Inside you'll find everything from Gentlewoman handbags to Gucci mini perfumes, and even one with a selection of YSL lippies.

The best part(s)? These luxury prizes are all authentic, and each try at the machines will only cost you one token. And yes, each token is priced at $1, so no tricks there.
Naturally, we made a beeline for the machines with the most attractive goodies and were spoiled for choice! As of the time of writing, there was a claw machine filled with Gentlewoman handbags that included not only the iconic canvas tote, but also trendy puffer bags and dumpling bags in various shades.

Right next to this was the ultimate jackpot: plastic pouches holding YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Lipsticks. These have a 4.6/5 star rating on Sephora's website, so needless to say, we had to get our hands on them.

You can also grab some travel-sized perfumes from this tiny claw machine, stocked with various Chloé and Gucci scents. They're the perfect size for carrying around in your bag and freshening up on the go, or for trying out a scent before committing to a full-sized bottle.

Not a fan of makeup and beauty? Look to the claw machine with KODAK 35 film cameras and 90s-style digicams!

Those who have a sweet tooth can also give the machines filled with trendy Dubai-inspired Kunafa & Pistachio chocolate bars a go, seeing as these are worth around $15 a pop at NTUC.

If you've read up to this point, congratulations. You'll be glad you took the time, because we're about to give you a token of appreciation via claw machine tips! Since many arcade-goers have fallen prey to the dreaded impossible-to-win-at claw machines, you're probably wondering how easy (or difficult) it is to actually score these prizes.

The next very important question: are these claws really strong enough to hold up the goods? The simple answer is yes. But they're here for a fun time, not a long time — most of the machines have claws that will support the prizes for a short period before it loses its grip. Translation: to increase your chances, aim for targets placed closer to the prize chute.

As a claw machine enthusiast, I simply could not hold back and played 50+ rounds on them! Here's the haul we got at the end, with 8 prizes won in total. Verdict: with a tried-and-tested drop rate of around 1:7, these machines are definitely worth travelling for!
