REVIEW ON MY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH SHOP AND SHIP COMPANY ARAMEX

If you are not living in Kuala Lumpur where most beauty brands gathered, I share your same woes and problem.

I am living in a place where I am starved of beauty products.  Don't talk about Innisfree, even Loreal which is readily available in Kuala Lumpur is virtual none existent here.

I can't live without caring for my skin and being away from the beauty world.  I can't stand looking into the mirror with bad skin and only using water and harsh bar soap for my face?????I am sure you would understand my feelings.

Online shopping has become a habit living in such place.  However, many online companies will deliver to our neighbouring countries but just won't deliver to Malaysia.

Watching people raving about those products only torment myself because I just can't get a hold on it without breaking my bank.

To solve that problem, you can use Shop and Ship company which can make your dream of buying things around the world which doesn't ship to Malaysia comes true.

So, here is a break of what is Shop and Ship  company is about:

When you sign up at Shop and Ship , it will: 

1. Provide you with 14 addresses and phone number.  You make your purchases online to be sent to any of the 14 addresses provided or the nearest countries. 

2.  When, all items arrives in Aramex Malaysia’s HQ, you will receive a call from them to arrange a suitable date for your package delivery

3.  They will also ship your parcels to your house here in Malaysia even if it is not in KL area. I got a sms informing me that my parcel is already on the way to me.

*you can’t control the accumulation of products on your SNS addresses.depending on the countries, item are usually dispatched within 2-3 days.


Here is the breakdown of the charges

Example 1: ZONE 1 (UK) to Malaysia = RM45 (<500g)

Example 2: ZONE 2 (India) to Malaysia = RM35(<500g)

ZON 1

Important Notes: Iraq: For any shipment above 5KG an additional USD 10 per each half KG is charged.

UAE: Domestic shipping rates for UAE members are AED 25 for the first 5KG and AED 3 for each 1KG after that.

India, Turkey, Hong Kong and South Africa: Shipping fees mentioned in Zone 1 and 2 above is not applicable to domestic shipments.



Or you can just use the rate calculator to check your shipping fees . It is at the tool box.  I think their service is already consider very reasonable for express service.



Please check HERE for unacceptable materials to avoid your things get stuck at the customs later.


*You can payment your parcels online or to the Aramex Delivery with cash (if it is not outside the delivery area). Please provide exact change.


So, here are the steps on how to sign up and use the service:
1. Sign up Here.

2. An activation code will be send to your email for verification.

3. Then, fill your personal information and details. It will lead you to the payment option of paypal or credit card for their membership.


 For a free lifetime membership worth USD45(RM156) (no hidden charges) you can key in this code: SNSFREE17  (this promo code is specially for readers of my blog only)



4. Once you click “Checkout’, you will arrive at your active account name. 
 Here, at the "My addresses" , you will get to see the page with SNS addresses assigned to you.


5. If you have items arrived any of the SNS addresses, then there will be a tracking number at “My packages" . Just click on the"Shipment No" and you will be brought to the "tracking page" where you can just click on "+ " for full details. 
There will be notification send to your email also. I even receive sms when they are delivering it out of their HQ in KL.






Other perks of shopping with Shop&Ship are:
-express delivery
-shipment tracking
-24/7 customer service
-online payment for shipping charges
-premium services
-exclusive deals


My experience with it

I think their service is good and delivery is fast. Generally, Express shipping cost would have killed me but Shop and Ship  reasonable rates makes shopping online at other countries very much easier and cost effective too.  No more being upset after something that others can get but I can't.  Most of the time, you can get good deals online.  Don't worry even if you are not from big cities like Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru as Aramex deliver the products as long as you have an address.

My things were also safe as there is no spillage or  the jar broken even if my products is not in a box so I am very sure that they are very gentle in handling my cosmetics.

I hope that this will solve some problems about shopping from some website such as Amazon, Itsy, Memebox, Sephora, Taobao, beauty boxes or from private mall that just don't deliver to Malaysia.  If you do not know any good website to shop, Shop and Ship Facebook page constantly has latest promotions from international websites, and they even collaborate with some of the online shops to give you better discounts for Shop and Ship  members.

the parcel from Aramex.  There is another layer inside.

So, here is my haul.  Innisfree and Etude House mask for me.

Here is one good affordable lip crayon that has 8 colours that will sure rock your boat =).


1.CITY BELLE 2. CITY SLICKER 3. MS. METROPOLIS 
6. DASHING DIVA 7. WEEKEND WILD 8.AFTER HOURS

The simple and light packaging is really handy for travelling. The lip crayon has soft glossy finish which is really creamy and hydrating to the lips. The colours are really vibrant, pigmented and provide one full coverage with just one swipe. It is also really soft on the lips.

I am not sure about the kiss proof but it does stained the cup.  It will probably work out better if you let it dry down first or bloat it first and apply a second layer.  The colour doesn't fade if you don't eat anything.  I don't mind about colour fading since it feels light on my lips and don't dry my lips.


Products, Urbanista Lip crayon retails at RM24.90 .
Products are available at selected Watsons(Midvalley), fashion label F block stores in Sunway Giza Mall, Setia Puchong, Farenheit 88, Cheras Leisure Mall, Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, Kuchai Lama and Bangsar Baru.

FOOD REVIEW ON THE ZUN EXPRESS


When I was walking passed this restaurant, I always wonder about the price and whether it is good.  Thanks to a friend's recommendation I decided to try it.  There are few sets to choose for lunch and since I am curious about the Lotus leaf, I ordered Set B.  It comes with few choice of drinks and dessert.

The menu at The Zun Express

THE ZUN EXPRESS
interior of The Zun Express

THE ZUN EXPRESS
lotus leaf rice


The rice is wrapped with lotus leaf which is presentation wise look appealing to me.  I was glad that it is not small and look just like the photos.  The rice is of medium texture and it is fragrant with the smell of lotus leaf.  There is mince meat in it and it has a good portion for a big eater like me.


THE ZUN EXPRESS
The Osmanthus Jelly


The Osmanthus Jelly is soft and it melted into my mouth.  No bad and this is the first time I see restaurant use osmanthus to make dessert.  I do like the taste and it is good thought that the waiter bring this the last as we were about to finish our rice.  I bet it wouldn't taste good or cold enough if the desserts were brought in the same time as the lotus rice.

The green tea is not bad and luckily it is not the one with jasmine as I do not enjoy jasmine in my green tea.


Service is not bad and fast.  The waiter is also courteous.

SET B
Lotus leaf Rice, green tea and Osmanthus Jelly RM18.80 per set
service tax of 10%
Government Tax 6%
So after adding it would be around RM23

My lips chapped easily so I always make sure to bring lip balm everywhere I go.  This Mentholatum lip pure is fragrance free and there is not taste of anything.  If you lick it, it is plain taste of paper.  It is not bad in hydrating as my lips is sure hydrated and feel more supple compare to not applying anything at all.  It will not turn the lips to another colour so I can also use it at night .

REVIEW ON WATSONS HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURISING FACIAL MASK


Just like the other two Watsons mask Here and Here, this mask is one of the mask in the Tensel range.

WATSONS HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURISING FACIAL MASK
WATSONS HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURISING FACIAL MASK

WATSONS HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURISING FACIAL MASK
WATSONS HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURISING FACIAL MASK


The Watsons Tencel Mask Range is made of 100% Tencel, an eco friendly fabric dervide from responsibly managed forests. Tencel has a silky smooth surface which pampers and prevents irritation on sensitive skin. It's unique fibre structure is able to naturally retain and relaease up to 20x moisture on demand, allowing for the optimum transfer of essence from the mask to your skin. This 0.14mm ultra-thin tencel mask fits perfectly to the contours for your face, ensuring maximum essence absorption and nourishment to your skin. Formulated with whitening Hydrolyzed Milk Protein together with nourishing Trehalose, Opuntia Cactus and Algae Extracts, this Watsons Milk Smoothing & Whitening Facial Mask provides rich nutrients and moisture to your skin. Your skin will become softer, smoother and more supple after use. Dermatologically tested.



Use after cleansing. Spread and place the mask sheet on face. Smooth mask to fit the contours of your face. Press gently onto face then remove the blue film. Leave on for 15-20 minutes then remove the mask sheet. Massage the remaining essence into skin until fully absorbed. No need to rinse off. Daily use is recommended.
Warnings


Do not apply on burned or damaged skin. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor if necessary.




Packaging wise it is really pretty and it is hard for me to throw away such pretty nice colour but then I can't keep them.  Most would now hyaluronic acid is occured inside our skin and the purpose to moisturise and as we age, the amount will decrease and the reason for drier skin.  A mask with hyaluronic acid can help in moisturising especially for those who sleep in air conditioning room.
It doesn't have a funny smell or drip from face.  The sheet mask is also thin but not too thin to the point of tearing.

Overall, it does moisturise my skin and made my skin more bouncy but of course using one piece is not going to make it last forever so expect a few usage a week to maintain the effect. The price is reasonable for a sheet mask.


Products retails at RM6.90 per pieces at Watsons.  For more information, please visit Watsons Facebook and Watsons online official website. Product is press sample.  However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

FOOD REVIEW ON ENGLISH TEA SHOP JAPANESE GREEN TEA SENCHA




I am a fan of green tea and I drink them often. There are actually many types of green tea and I do like sencha although I know some prefer other grade of tea such as ujicha. I bought this out of curiosity since the usually green tea from Japan I drink was nowhere to be seen. Besides, it is not that expensive considering that it is form of tea bags.

The smell is quite light and refreshing which I like. Besides, since it is organic it is not bad and works for my DIY rice paper skincare mask =) . Once, I was having terrible migraine and a cup this green tea calm the pain. I was so much in pain that literary puke and in cold sweat. This helps me and I think it is not bad especially when you are travelling and have no time to be straining those green tea leaves.



Overall, would buy this again.
Products retails at arounf RM17.90 to RM18.90. The tea are from Sri Lanka.
For more information, please visit official English tea shop website. Product is not sponsored. The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

It always feel good to apply mask on the face considering the hot weather in Malaysia.  The feeling of cooling down the face just make it feel so good.  The mask sheets is thin/thick .  It did not slip from the face.  The essence doesn't drip from the mask sheets.  The scent is light.

Just like the like the Watsons milks mask, it does temporary brighten&moisturise my face after using the mask but of course if you want the effect to last, you will need to continuously use them.

INGREDIENTS OF LYCOZ BIO CELLULOSE MASK

I love fermented skincare because it really works wonders and  a mask that is made with fermented coconut water is sure packed with a lot of goodies for the skin.  The mask may look thick but Bio Cellulose mask is actually used after cosmetics procedures in aesthetic clinic to cool down the skin.

So, it is a new invention after paper sheet masks and hydrogel.  It is also the reason that the mask is more expensive than common paper sheet masks but it is worth the money because bio cellulose can provide the skin with more moisturise than traditional paper sheet masks.  Besides, one good thing about bio cellulose mask is it won't dry up on your skin meaning it won't hurt your skin if you have forgotten to remove it after 40 minutes.  It is also one of the reasons why you could wear it for 40minutes instead of the usual 30 minutes for paper sheet masks.

Korean loves Bio Cellulose masks very much for the reason because it is the most effective of the types of mask available in the market.(sheets, hydro gels, clay, cream and sleeping mask)


The texture of the mask is something like the Malaysian jelly- nata de coco which is opaque jelly.  It adheres to the shape of your face when applied. So it won't budge one bit when it is on the face. You can do your work while sitting or even exercise because it sure won't budge even one centimetre.

 Its fiber' diameter is much smaller than plant pulp (used to make sheet masks), so it’s able to hold 10 times more essence than conventional sheet mask.  The 3-Dimensional mesh density,no sticky feeling and no artificial adhesive added.  So, it is safe for the skin.


Please remove the plastic and the paper sheet.  The Bio cellulose mask is in between those two.  Becareful when handling them as I almost tore them up because of my fingernails.It is not that thick and need gentle handling as the texture is just like jelly.

It reduce the redness of my face and my face is sure brighter and more supple after the mask. =)
