My First Hermo Experience

Been doing a lot of online shopping recently and finally I grabbed the chance to purchase some items from one of the beauty web sites www.hermo.com.my,

Items nicely bubble wrapped

The promotion which caught my eye was mask brand Sophie Monk which is selling at RM19.90 for total of 10 pcs of masks! I initially thought it was the same Korean brand I bought last year which is call Faith in Face as they have very similar packaging. The price difference between these 2 brands are steep as Faith in Face is selling at close to RM10/piece. Sophie Monk 10 mask pack comes in 3 x Crystal Clear Whitening Miracle Mask, 3 x Camera Face Facial Pore Purifying Mask and 4 x Splash Skin Night & Fight Moisture Miracle Mask. I have yet try on the masks and will write a review later on. Keeping my finger crossed that the quality will be as good as the Faith in Face mask.

3 different mask choices

The other item I wanted to talk about is the Perfect Skin Absolute Marble Stick Foundation. Been eyeing on this item for quite some time but couldn't make up my mind whether to get it or not since I have bought my 3CE liquid foundation during my Korea trip few months back. Well being a woman, a greedy and curious one, I couldn't hold the urge and yea I bought it at a discounted price at Hermo. The foundation is pretty impressive as its moisturizing and give an instant glow to my face. I personally think it suits dry/combination skin more as it may be too moisturizing for oily skin. What I like most about this product is its so easy to use. What I did was just draw few strokes on my face with the stick and blended it with the foundation brush attached to the stick. Its really easy and hassle free! No more messy and dirty hands applying foundation..yay!

The last 2 items I bought were Memebox Lip Tint in 2 colors which are Macao Magenta and Russia Purple. I love Macao Magenta vibrant pink effect and its very moisturizing and long lasting on my lips! However I was a bit disappointed with Russia Purple as I expect the color to be more vibrant, it turns out to be a darker shade purple. It looks a bit mature and mysterious on the lips and I am ok to add this into my collection as I never own any lip color like this before.

All in all, it was an okay experience for me to shop at Hermo. I personally think they can improve their order process time as they took around 2 to 3 days to process my orders and another 2 days to deliver my items. I will expect a shorter time frame to get my items as its within Malaysia. I usually receive my items in 5 days time too if I shop at Taobao. However one thing I like most about their service is they deliver items on the weekend too, I actually received my parcel on a Sunday afternoon! Good job to the delivery company!

This is a brief review on my shopping experience with Hermo and hopefully they will continue to improve and able to offer more discounts and free samples for future purchase! ^^

Do It Like You Mean It

Will be flying off tomorrow night to Korea for Jeju Salsa Festival. This is the third year am attending the event and the only difference for this year is am bringing the Bailamos Dance Team to perform and hopefully open their eyes and get inspired to be a better dancer.

All this while Ive been putting a lot of effort and time in building a group of dancers hopefully to have as much passion towards salsa as me. I fully understand that I cant expect everyone will have the equal passion as me but I do hope that they will be truthful to what they really passionate about and not forcing themselves to pretend to like something.

Being able to perform in Korea, which is the top salsa country is my dream and initially I feel really excited and looking forward to be able to share the stage with the team to show everyone that Malaysians can dance salsa too. I wrote a thank you and encouraging notes to Bailamos team today and what I received is silence. For the first 2 hours when the messages were posted, Gary told me don't think too much as the team members actually appreciate our effort. I tried to comfort and convince myself to think positively but I have to accept the fact that they are just not so keen after all of doesn't even bother to reply for the entire day. Words cant express how disappointed I am. I don't want to make it like am forcing the team to perform, at this second what I really wanted to do is call off the performance. I don't need a group of non spirit and reluctant people to be on the stage honestly. Why do it if you don't want to do it at all?

My way of working is always the same, if you make up your mind to do something, do it 101%. Else forget about it.
