Pictures:

Was so excited my parcel finally came that I couldn't wait till morning to take the pictures under proper lighting. Sorry! :P

The box that I've been waiting for: 

I just love opening parcels, I mean, who doesn't? 

Sneak peak: XP

First item: The medicated lip ointment from Blistex

Lip medex from Blistex:

Once again, another product from Blistex:

The raved lip butter from Nivea:

Just another flavour: 

The reason I ordered from iHerb;

The other reason :

I just needed to stock up on moisturisers:

Just what I need to get through this cold & dry winter:

Did I ever mention how affordable & great Queen Helene's products are?

As you can see, I ordered lots of lip products & moisturisers. I have super dry skin, acne prone too. And well, for my lips, they crack like crazy! (I'm just justifying why I splurge. XP )

What I like:

• Price of all things on iherb.
• Everything arrived safely with no leakage. (there were a few dents here & there)
• The whole process was informed through email
• They have all these American drugstore brands which you can't get if you're not from America

Disappointments:

• The need to pay tax. (For your info, this is my 2nd time ordering from China. I didn't need to pay tax for my 1st purchase. i guess it had something to do with the method of shipping. Both times, I used different shipping methods.)
• Tax can only be paid using Alipay ( I don't have an Alipay account, which made it so difficult)
• No coupon codes or special discounts for ongoing customers.

Will I repurchase?

After the tax? I'll have to think about it.
But there's no question that I will definitely still order & have the products ship to Malaysia.



Well, once again, if you guys are interested to order from iHerb, do use the code KDB598 for USD10 off your first purchase. And I can't stress enough that this code should be used wisely since codes can only be used once & only during your first purchase. Any questions, feel free to email me or just leave a comment down below.
