This is the 3rd Giveaway! 3 weeks flew by so quickly huh? This will be 3rd of 9 Giveaways I'll be conducting!
For Week 2's Giveaway, outta 33 entries, there was 1 incomplete entry. Here's the winner:
Entry #26, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) whoischeryl! Congrats babe! I'll be contacting you regarding the prize!
For those who did not manage to win the 2nd giveaway, fret not! There are 7 more chances!
Giveaway #3
A BNIB Watsons Active Firming Stretchable Mask enriched with Firming Baobab Extracts!
It is a relatively new product that has just been launched. I like how it has a ear hook that prevents the mask from slipping off your face when you have a sheet mask on. When I first started sheet masking, I always had the impression that I had to lie down as the mask will slip off my face but it apparently did not but if the mask is a little too wet, I notice that if I'm moving around, it tends to slip down a little. With this mask that has a ear hook, it'll stay put till its time to remove the mask! How cool is this! It makes sheet masking a whole new experience!

This is one product that I've been pretty skeptical yet curious about. I'm curious to how it actually works but wasn't positive if it was just another marketing gimmick.
( Do the Neutrogena Waveeeeeeeeeeee )
I mentioned in Twitter yesterday that I returned home to a small package of 2 bb creams. No pictures yet but I'll post it up when I've completed the review next week!
While placing them into my BB Cream drawer, I thought of sharing a mini makeup porn with you girls!
Introducing my entire collection of BB Creams!
*excluding some tubes that I've completed (Castlewdew, both Etude House Magic BB, Niu-Er BB, Beauty Credit and a few others)
Its crazy isn't it? Well, I'm definitely keen to try more BB Creams!
*yes, I do have duplicate tubes of SkinFood because there are 2 tubes that I'm finishing but can't seem to squeeze it out. When I'm not so lazy, I'll 'slice' the tube open to get the unsqueezeable remainding product out. LOL
Oh yes, Silky Girl has their own BB Cream now and its on sale for about S$13.90 (less than S$15) or so at all major drugstores. I've swatched them and wasn't pretty impressed with it. There are 2 shades. #1 which is of a yellow undertone and #2 which is of a pink undertone. The texture is really liquified and runny that seems pretty messy for application. I'm not ruling out the fact that I MIGHT try it but definitely not now.
I've been bombarded a zillion times on which BB Creams are my top favourites. I'll get down to post an entry on my top 5 BB Creams soon!
I finally completed the trial process of these 2 BB Creams and the Make Up Essence!

Remember the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder that I was raving about?
Guess how much I love the product?
That post was dated 26th May and today's the 29th June, its slightly a month later. Lets take a look at what the product looks like today!
I love this powder so much that I've been using it every single day since I started using it and it has hit pan! I have not hit pan in any of my recent purchase and I'm definitely proud of myself!
Can you tell how much I really love this product? I have another piece of the same shade, Medium 0-1 as backup and another piece which is a shade darker, Medium 2-2.5 as I'm intending to use this over a lighter shade of BB Cream / foundation.
This is one of my favourite product that I'll definitely repurchase!
Remember the first issue of GLOW magazine by Watsons where some of you won some fantastic goodies just by purchasing the magazine at various shopping malls across the island? Well, issue 2 has been launch!
I have just picked up my copy from Ang Mo Kio central earlier today!
For S$2, its a little thicker than the first issue and comes with a free cosmetic pouch! There are 3 designs and I chose the birdies!
*cosmetic pouch put to the test to find out how many cosmetics can it fit towards the end of the post!
( Teaser articles and my very first giveaway here! )
Lotsa requests for the review of the Skinfood Gold Caviar Moist Brightening Powder Ball so here it is!
Some of you wanted me to compare with the Missha version of the Guerlain Meteorites too.
*There's something about Korean cosmetic companies with their dupe of the Guerlain Météorites! ( Skinfood Gold Caviar Moist Brightening Powder Ball )
Tossing aside the non-delivery matter, I was greeted by a package when I got home yesterday!
( Happy Happy ME! )
A buyer who has yet to receive a package from me that I mailed out 5 days ago has gone to seek help from the Small Claims Tribunal and have even consulted CASE.
Well, here's the full story: She bought 2 items from me and through a mix up, I left out one item. She received one and informed me about the 2nd item that is not in the package. I verified and acknowledged the mix up and mailed it out the very next day.
She claims she has not received the item which is worth S$18.50. The cost of the item is only inclusive of normal mail and those who are familiar with online shopping knows that the seller / sender is not liable for mails sent through normal mail. If the buyer would like a guaranteed delivery, he/she should opt for registered mail which is an additional S$2.25.
On Saturday (20th June), she emailed me, informing me that she has yet to receive the package and requested for the posting details so that she can raise a request with SingPost. Do remember, the package was mailed out on Wednesday evening (which SingPost considers it as posting on 18th June), 17th June (3 days earlier).
I furnished it to her and today (Monday, 22nd June), she told me that SingPost can't locate her package and she is seeking a refund which was the solution given to her by Small Claims Tribunal.
From the day I dropped the package off into the mailbox till today, it has been 5 days. So tell me now, am I liable for the non-delivery of the package and be claimed through our Small Claims Tribunals?
I spoke to the officer at the Subordinate Court whom she raised the request with and he said we could escalate the case where both of us take the stand and iron things out in Court. But for S$18.50, would we really want to do all that? To some, its a matter of principle but I do have sufficient feedbacks to prove that I wouldn't be scamming a person for S$18.50.
I have done online shopping (both as a seller and a buyer) for more than 5 years and I have conducted hundred over sprees, mailing out over a thousand packages. (Most of my readers here are actually my spree participants or have transacted more than once with me)
Whenever a buyer does not receive a package, I'll inform them to wait 10-14 days from the date of posting and I'll raise a request with SingPost. 90% of the time, its a delayed delivery. There is a 50-50 chance of you getting back that package due to damaged packaging or other internal reasons for the delayed delivery. And once I inform the buyer / spree participant about it, whatever the outcome is, they accept it and we close the case.
The question is, am I 100% liable for the lost package sent by normal mail and is 5 days (or rather, 3 working days) sufficient to condem a seller for failing to deliver the package and thus liable for the non-delivery?
She has doubts of me delivering the item. Can I have doubts as a seller that the package has been received but untraceable as its sent via normal mail?
I honestly feel she should have waited at least 10 days prior raising it to SingPost and Small Claims and/or CASE should never be in the picture. I'm in a very vulnerable situation at the moment. Or rather, ALL sellers / senders are in a vulnerable situation.
I wanna hear your views. What should I do? Refund and admit that its my fault for the non-delivery of the package and lose S$37 (S$18.50 for the item and S$18.50 for the refund)? Allow her to escalate the case to Small Claims where both of us fight our lives out for the sake of S$18.50?
Or, as a buyer, what will you do? Insist on the refund? What if the package finally arrived 2 weeks later? I have had instances of receiving a package as long as a month later. Blame yourself for being unlucky and insist on Registered Mail infuture? Or insist that SingPost strike off Normal Mail and all mails delivered should be traceable?
*No bad-mouthing or negative remarks to either parties please. Such comments will be deleted and IP address traced. Constructive feedback / comments please.
