My last package has finally arrived!

Thank you, Beauty Bay! Or perhaps, thank you Philippine post office? For finally sending out my package!!! I must admit, out of all the packages I've ordered (I was on an online shopping spree last December) this one stressed me out the MOST. Well, aside from one of my Strawberrynet packages where I had to pay customs almost Php 2000! Gah. Anyway, it's here!

I ordered this from Beautybay.com on December 1, 2013 and got an sms from my local post office just this January 10, 2014. (IT TOOK A YEAR. lololol.) How ironic, when this was actually the order where I availed of their Premier service. Overall, I had four consecutive orders from the site, this was my 2nd and it actually came in last, that's why I was so nervous about this one.

I got four items: RMK liquid foundation, Urban Decay complexion spray, Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Demolition and Stila complexion brush.

Oh, and a freebie! Beautybay gave me their Blending sponge. Hmm, so it was probably THEIR fault why my package was delayed, that's why they're giving me this bribe. lol.

And you're welcome.

My Beautybay Online Shopping Experience

Hi guys! Let me tell you about my first ever Beauty Bay (beautybay.com) online purchase. I bought a few skincare items (seriously, they have a lot going on there, it was too tempting!). While my second purchase, now off for shipment, are more of beauty items.

The UK based site carries brands ranging from mid to high end. Skincare lines such as Ahava, Mario Badescu, Murad, Peter Thomas Roth, and VMV are available. While you can find beauty brands such bareMinerals, RMK, Too Faced and Urban Decay.

I was impressed with the site's security, as they implement OTP (One Time Password) where you will be sent a password through your mobile number, linked with the credit card you used, and must then be entered before proceeding. The balance is shown in £ (GBP/British Pound Sterling).

I placed the order on November 19 and received an email of order confirmation that same day. November 20, I received an email that my order has already been dispatched. I received the package this December 03. So that's about two weeks, for a free shipment. Yep, they offer free worldwide delivery. If you want an express shipping, it's available for $65.6 (2-3 days delivery time). It took a little longer than I'd expected, as it says on their website that free shipping to the Philippines should be 7-10 days only. I guess they were talking about our major city, Metro Manila and other nearby areas. As the delivery address was Isabela, those who are about the same distance should expect the same 13 day waiting time. I'm guessing those from Visayas, or Mindanao, should maybe add 2 more waiting days.

You're welcome!

Here's what I bought:

• Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Face Mist
• Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Exfoliating Lip Salvation
• Bio Oil
• First Aid Beauty Ulra Repair Lip Therapy

These are all included in my 2013-2014 Wishlist and I'm very happy to have ticked a few more checkboxes! Yayayay! I'll do reviews soon but so far I'm liking in love with Ole Henriksen's lip salve! All I can say right now is, it is The bomb. Do wait for my review. Ciao!
