My Recent Hishop Haul!

Haha, two shopping posts back-to-back. If there's any reason for my husband to NOT keep me in "confinement" in the condo anymore, this should be it. When the chores are done and the baby is asleep, there's nothing else for me to do but spend time on my laptop... streaming TV shows and SHOPPING ONLINE! Actually, I'd been planning to buy some stuff from Hishop for quite some time, just that I was further prompted to do so because :
- there was discounts for two items that I wanted to buy
- Hishop gave me some credits for old blogposts that I wrote about Jelly Pong Pong, so I might as well use the credits!
- there was a contest to win a Longchamp bag if I buy above a certain amount
- there was a free gift with purchases over RM300

If all that wasn't a sign to buy NOW, I don't know what is! :D I thought I bought a lot of stuff, was expecting a hugeeeee box to arrive. Instead, it was merely the size of a shoebox! I thought something was wrong, but fact of the matter is I bought small but costly items. :( By the way, I consider delivery quite efficient but nothing compared to Best Buy World, haha. Made my order on the 31st of October and received the goods by 6th Nov via PosLaju. Let me share with you what I snagged...

So excited to open the bright pink shoebox that arrived! But also semi-convinced that something  must be left out. -___-"

This is how everything is packaged inside! Looks like everything is there... I like how they further protect the tubs I bought by wrapping bubble wrap tightly around the containers. There's also discount vouchers for group-buy websites included in the box. Most likely not going to use them so maybe I'll post the discount codes up later.

Hishop  gives two free samples with every purchase, and based on what I see, the choices are frequently updated based on stock availability. I chose Brilliant Loveheart Lip Care System_2 Step Lip Gel Patch  and Nature & Co Pure White Lotion Light & Pure White Milky Lotion Light. Other choices include Bawang shampoo samples, Aubrey Organics conditioner and Osmium products.

Here comes the main stuff that I wanted to purchase! Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream and  ePure Membranous Jelly Masque in Jar! First heard of the Egyptian Magic skin cream from Michelle Phan, and decided to try a small tub first to see if it's any good... after all I already have a lot of other moisturisers. Just "fatt hao" want to try the in thing now, I guess. ;P As for the ePure mask, I have a funny story about it! In fact, it was recommended to me by my ex-line manager, who is a bigggg Hishop fan. In fact, he says he shops there so often that he is part of some loyalty program and always gets 30% off with each purchase. Wtf! So good?

My ex-line manager started talking about face products with me ever since I appeared in the newspaper for my beauty product obsessions. He asked me if I ever tried ePure before, and I said no. He said it was like a cult favorite, and he buys them non-stop! According to my husband (who also knows him), he used to be quite dark, but I think his skin now is pretty good! He (the ex-line manager) always says that his face is tired from too much night support, but I really can't tell (except for the eyebags). ;) He said that he buys the mask coz he's too lazy to scoop the jelly from the jar and apply on his face. However, I feel the jar is more bang for your buck, so I got it instead. If I become lazy, I might get the mask instead. =)

And finally - a joke ... though he claims to be such a fan of the site, he was surprised to hear me call it "HI shop".... he said he thought that it is called "HIS HOP" all the while! Wahahahhhahhaa.... I was like, why would they give themselves a name like "His Hop"? He said it's because he buys other men products from the site, so he thought it was a site specially for metrosexual men. "Plus, his hop sounds quite cool what. Like hip hop... his hop...." he further explained. I said that there are wayyyyyyyyy more products for women than there are for men! Anyway, I am pretty sure it's pronounced "Hi Shop" la.

To top up my purchases to RM300, I bought a lottttttt of Twistbands. I've always wanted to try them, and someone should have told me way earlier that scrunchies are out. I've got a major collection of them, and now I have to bung them all out and make way for my Twistband collection! I tried using it yesterday and I quite like it. I won't post photos as yet coz my hair is kinda short right now (super regret cutting it for confinement now), and I just use this to do a half-ponytail that is REALLY unflattering, but is what I need at the moment. When I get my long ponytail back, then I'll camwhore and review more la. Anyway, I realised that I bought some very similar colors - just that one is part of the Crown Bauble trio, and the other is the Sam trio. I think I'll give away the Sam one...

 

And finally, this is the free gift with purchase above RM300 --- a Bamboo Charcoal Slimming Body Suit. I've yet to try this on - quite mafan when I need to take off my top frequently for breastfeeding. Anyway, it is pretty useful - see whether this can help me get back my pre-pregnancy body. Even better if can get back my body circa 2009. -___-"

Well, that's all I have to share on hauls today. Fingers crossed for proper reviews and not more buy buy buy posts. :)
