Shopping at Escentual.com - La Roche Posay, Bioderma and other French Pharmacies Favourite!

I've heard so much about French pharmacy skincare - high quality, affordable and gentle on the skin.
The two highly recommended brands by my most favorite makeup guru, Lisa Eldridge, are La Roche Posay and Bioderma. Sadly, both brands are not available in Malaysia :(

So, imagine my happiness when I found these 2 brands on Escentual.com which ships to Malaysia on 30% sale!!

Oh.My.God.

To top it all, shipping is so affordable - only 5 pounds for International shipping to Malaysia. If you are kiasu like me, registered shipping is only 8 pounds. I'd highly recommend registered, knowing how easy parcels get lost in bolehland.

They also have a reward point system called Pretty Pennies. 1 points = 1 penny, which translates to 1% reward to be used in the next transaction.

For those using Maybank Amex 2 Cards, more good news! Yes, they accept AMEX, so please place your order on weekends to get additional 5% rebates :)
I've just placed my order yesterday, so I'm still obviously waiting for the parcel.

I'm so excited about the products i purchased! Will definitely review the products in the future, so stay tuned. 

Addicted to iherb.com - super cheap shipping to Malaysia! Queen Helene, Ecotools, Samantha Chapman and more brands!

Reading rave reviews on Ecotools and Samantha Chapman brushes online, I was about to drive to the nearest Shins Outlet to get the Kabuki brush and foundation brush. Then, I stumbled upon this US website called iherb. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it's significantly cheaper in iherbs (about 40% cheaper) than Shins! More so, they also sell the best-selling Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask at only USD 3ish (RM12) for a huge bootle of 226g!

Best.Deal.Ever.

Shipping to Malaysia is only a flat rate of USD4 using the standard international shipment and I was pleasantly surprised it reach about 6 days to Shah Alam. I did not get any custom taxes or whatsoever. They also have the option of DHL and other shipping method but being the thrifty me, I chose the cheapest shipping.

Oh, and please do not make the same mistake I did by not using the coupon code below to save USD 10 (RM32) off your first purchase:

That was a year ago :)

Since then I have purchased lots of stuff from iherb, especially on brands we cannot find locally like Physician's Formula, Aveda, ELF, Aubrey Organics etc. Most of the stuff are good quality but here's my 

TOP 5 FAVOURITE MUST BUY PRODUCTS FROM iherb: 

1. Queen Helena Mint Julep Mask 226g $3.84
2. EcoTools, Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set, 1 Set $12.99
3. Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, Your Finish/Perfected, Blush Brush $9
4. Sierra Bees, Organic Mint Burst Lip Balm, .15 oz (4.25 g) $0.95 
5. Physician's Formula, Inc., Organic Wear, Loose Powder, Creamy Natural Organics, 0.77 oz (22 g) $13.39

These are the best mask, brushes, lipbalm and loose powder I've ever used. I used the lipbalm everyday and it moisturizes better than Burt's Bees. You can read up all the product reviews online in makeupalley.com, high rating and super affordable! :)

The Body Shop Malaysia 2010 Sale

Started today! I went over to SACC Mall Shah Alam around 1130am and to my surprised, it was kinda empty. Not as crowded as i imagined. Anyway, i only bought two items cos not really a TBS fan, the sales lady was kinda pushy so i got out as fast as i can.

I bought Pomegranate Body Spray for RM11.70 (after 70% off) and Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick for RM16 (50% off). I'm not a member so i dont get to enjoy 10% discount. Bummer. Other stuff like body butter and mist are at 50-70% off, didnt see any sets though. Was hoping to get sets since they're better priced.

Anyway, head on to body shop to check out if you're TBS fan. :)

I'm baaaack with more hauls!
