I have a friend (who we will hide under the initial "RA") who loves online shopping. She is always looking for online shops that has good deals. She told me that she ordered from iherb and she only paid AED 40 for delivery fee since it will be shipping from the US. So one day, she told me that she is going to order again and asked if I wanted to buy anything from iherb. I asked her to buy me the rosehip oil and a few brushes from Bdellium at that time. The next thing I know, her order was already delivered. That really piqued my interest so I started browsing their website for makeup. They do have Elf, Prestige, Missha, Innisfree, Etude House, Tony Moly, The Face Shop, Skinfood, Physician's Formula, Ecotools, Real techniques etc. So I decided to create my own account and started adding items to my cart. I have been having really bad acne so I bagged a couple of skincare items.

I now understand the craze behind this clay. Your face will be red after washing this off but disappears after. This is really effective! I would recommend this for those with lots of pimples like me. My face definitely improved after using it. However, your acne/pimples will heal overnight after using this. Just bear that in mind.

My favorite MUA, Angie Di Battista does not favour products like this for client's use. It is not very hygienic as you will need to use the same brush every-time. However, this is perfect for personal use as it make applying eyeliner easier.

I love this moisturizer. It does leave a sticky feeling despite having a high SPF content. I would definitely repurchase. Is there any dupe with a lower price? Hmm.. I'd better check with google.

Again, these korean skincare products maybe working but I can't tell for sure. I can say that my skin is starting to clear after 2 months of using this together with the other korean skincare but the effect is not immediate.

My friend Rochelle recommended this toner to me. This is very mild on the skin. Because I used so many skincare products now, it it difficult to tell which one is working. However, I would still use this because it is very light on the skin.
