There is only 2 online shopping portal that I get my beauty fix. One is Best Buy World and another one is from a seller ID jjj*2008 in eBay Malaysia. I cannot stress enough how much I adore Jenny (real name for seller ID jjj*2008). Her price is normally a lot cheaper than retail. And she wraps parcel so perfectly and securely that no one is able to replica. Not only that. She include extra gifts in like no body’s business.

Recently I had the opportunity to meet up with Jenny for lunch and for a little beauty swap. She told me that she put herself in her customer’s shoe. She knew that her customers would be happy to receive the extras cause she would too! And the super perfect and secure wrapping is from her bad online shopping experience. All these bad experience will only make her do the best for her customers. She wouldn’t want her customers to frown upon receiving badly wrapped parcel

This is what I swapped from Jenny. What I have chosen is slightly more so I paid the excess back to Jenny. The funny part is I forgotten to do so and I did online transfer to Jenny upon returning to office. Oppss!

Been eyeing on this 2013 HSBC Gardens Mall Ang Pow Set c/w Wooden Gift Box (RM45) for so long. The reason why I keep on delaying is because I wanted to clean up the beauty space a bit before getting this. Otherwise it will be an added clutter.

This BEAUTIFUL Cherry Blossom flower set comes with a wooden box measuring at 14cm x 14cm x 9.1cm. It’s really huge. And comes with 12 pieces of pink and blue Cherry Blossom angpow packets. There is 6 pieces for each color.

I couldn’t decide which I love the most. The wooden box or the angpow packets. I love them both!

Also gotten the L’Occitane Bath & Body Set (RM59). I wanted the two mini Shea Butter Hand Cream. It’s 10ml each. Great for on the go.

This set contains:-
1) L’Occitane Repairing Shampoo 50ml
2) L’Occitane Spring Cherry Savon Soap (Limited Edition) 50g
3) L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 10ml X 2
4) L’Occitane Mini Gift Box

Jenny also included 2 extra gifts for me as usual :). Something different this time. Not beauty related but it’s quite nice. She gave me a Cherry Blossom bowl and a Estee Lauder key ring. The bowl have this Japanese look and feel to it. Yesterday I needed a bowl or plate to take picture of a particular product so I ask mum. Mum said “use the one you brought home” and I went blank. I was like since when I will go shop for a bowl? She then showed me and it all came back lol. I’m getting old. Couldn’t recall I have a bowl! I told mum no one can touch my bowl from now on hehe.

The Estee Lauder key ring is something that I would use as an accessory. I kinda like it. It’s so me. Okay, this gift is a little bit beauty related after all lol.

I had mentioned in Facebook before that Jenny will stop selling in eBay from 16th June 2013 onwards. She will be moving to another country so if there is anything that you have been eyeing but putting on hold, I suggest that you buy it now because after the 15th June 2013 Jenny will cease all selling.

I certainly do not hope that this will be the last transaction with Jenny. It’s kinda sad knowing we will lost a cheaper alternative site for beauty fix.

When I saw Crabtree & Evelyn GWP for the purchase of RM250 a few weeks ago is the angpow pouch set, I wanted that! The only problem is I don’t have anything to buy from Crabtree & Evelyn. I do have the thought of impulse purchase something from the store just to get this set. Then I remember Jenny; the eBay seller that I deal with from time to time. So I begin stalking her selling page a few times a day. Hey I’m not a stalker but just don’t want to let this set grab by other people

On Tuesday morning I reached office late due to a massive jam. I only have half an hour to enjoy my coffee before rushing off for a back-to-back meeting outside. While sipping my coffee I decided to take a look at Jenny’s eBay selling page. To my delight she listed the Crabtree & Evelyn Red Packet Holder + Red Packet Set! That’s not all. Here’s what was in my parcel.

Ahhh the Crabtree & Evelyn Red Packet Holder + Red Packet Set (RM20). It comes with a holder and it’s HUGE. I didn’t expect the holder to be as huge as a clutch size. It’s made from suede material on the outside while satin lining on the inside. Absolutely love the “chinese” feel of the pouch. The flower embroidery on one side of the pouch is exquisite. I love the chinese frog button on both sides. Here is what I learnt from google on chinese frog button. Hmmm interesting.

Chinese frog buttons, also know as Huaniu, are the necessity to mostly all cheongsam. The knotted head is regarded as male and the pair with an eye, female. Huaniu represent the soul of the cheongsam and provide a distinctive Chinese character. They are the product of thousands of years of traditional knotting craft and the designs and compositions vary from the plain to intricate.Traditional designs include floral, animal and insect motifs, and auspicious symbols, such as pomegranates and the Chinese character ‘shou’ , signifying fertility and longevity. Most Huaniu on cheongsam are designed to match the pattern of the fabric and the color of the braided trim on the collar cuff and hem.

In the set there’s also 10 pieces of red packet included. It’s very pretty and thick too. I love red packet. I’m a collector so every year I’d go crazy with it. But my collection is too huge and too much so this year I cut down quite a lot. I only choose those that I like to keep

Another item that I’m happy to spot is Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder (RM28). I’ve just get the hang of using this powder. It’s alright and affordable too. This one would be my backup. Oh and keep an eye on the blog cause my review on this powder would be up on Tuesday

Since I’m doing my makeup in the office nowadays I tried not to bring too many makeup with me to work. I prefer trial size mascara instead of full size so that I don’t have to take it out from the pouch I brought to work. Dior Diorsnow New Look Mascara (RM20) is said to delivers infinite volume and an unparalleled lash-multiplying effect with the new exclusive nano-brush. I haven’t have good experience with Dior mascara so hope this is better than the previous.

Yay!! I was given 2 pieces of Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Brightening Mask. Jenny is so generous. Thank you Jenny *hugs*

That’s not all. I was also given a Mid Valley MegaMall 2013 Ang Pows 13 pieces c/w Ang Pow Holder. So preeettyyy. My picture doesn’t justify the prettiness of the holder. There’s flowery print on the pouch actually. Just that the sunlight sort of glare my camera from capturing the print :(. Love it.

I knew you girls would be asking how to find Jenny in eBay. Here is her seller ID again – jjj*2008. It’s hyperlinked so either you click on the hyperlink as given or search in eBay. Meanwhile I’m going to save some moos (money) as I wanted to buy the SK-II Skin Signature Eye Cream set. The eye cream is retailing at RM339 at SK-II counter and Jenny is only selling it for RM228 with LOADS of SK-II freebies. And those Dior Capture Totale full size skin care is tempting!

It has been quite some time since I last purchase anything from my favorite eBay Malaysia seller jjj*2008. Yes that is the eBay seller ID so please read properly before bombarding my email asking for seller ID. It’s all written in the post and you should read. That’s what blog are for. To read!

Anyway, this week I spotted 2 things I want from her store and I placed my order in the morning, paid in the morning, parcel sent out in the morning as well and I received the parcel the next day! The most satisfied and efficient purchase ever.

Jenny (the seller) is known for her most secure wrapping, nice box packaging and extra gift generosity. My purchases this time arrived in a L’Occitane gift box.

Let’s see what I get in the box shall we?

First up is a travel size Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder & Mini Fan Brush Set which I got for a steal at RM35. What a perfect time to test out the highly raved powder. I’ve always wanted a fan brush but didn’t exactly have a real purpose for it except for sweeping excess loose powder off the face which I rarely do. Kinda excited to get a mini one from Laura Mercier.

Previously I wanted to go for Crabtree & Evelyn member preview sales to get the Crabtree & Evelyn Mini Floral Room Sprays which means I need to spend certain amount and be the first 20 in the store which is kinda hard since there’s so many people everyday. Thank goodness I spot this set at eBay. I rather buy this set alone than to spend a lot just to get this GWP. I bought this for RM59 which is kinda okay since it’s worth RM118.

Knowing Jenny, she always include some extras in the parcel and she did. Quite generous of her too although I spend just very little this time. She gave me a Avene Cleanance Exfoliating and Absorbing Cleansing Mask (Full Size), Avene Cleanance K Cream-Gel 5ml and Pure Beauty Youth Restore Essence with Black Pearl 3ml.

Always a pleasure buying from jjj*2008. I spotted a few more but on tight budget so need to hold on. Do visit her store if you don’t mind buying cheaper, branded and with extra goodies. I love her speedy response with emails, parcel delivery speed, her extra careful handling with parcel packaging and generosity.

My fav eBay seller; jjj*2008 finally listed Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion just last Saturday. Not that she listed a trial size item or a full size item. She actually listed the 11ml one which is “10% more primer” (according to UD) for a really cheap price and I happily spotted Burberry Lip Cover #03 Cameo Pink too so I grabbed both in order to be eligible for free courier.

My purchases came in a gold Sephora box which is very similar with the one I got back in October purchases. Read here.

The interior packing is also similar with my previous purchase from the seller. The only different is the shredded paper colour and the pouch colour. Gosh I love this seller to bits.

Previously my purchases was stored in a red Christmas pouch. This time it’s the same but different colour Christmas pouch with a lil gift card.

Underneath the pouch is the UDPP. Securely nesting in the mid of the shredded papers and bubble wrapped nicely.

Inside the pouch is my Burberry lip cover. Seller also included a 25g Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar Hand Therapy. Jenny the seller never fail to pamper all her customers. They’re all good gift too.

My haul

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion 11ml – RM55 (Retail RM75) & Burberry Lip Cover #03 Cameo Pink – RM30

Merry Christmas everyone!
