SKIN CARE GADGET REVIEW:

With the number of women singing praises and calling Clarisonic Mia their ultimate skin holy grail, I didn't think twice when I had a chance to get one for myself. Especially when most of these women suffered acne same as I did. I was hoping that it would be the answer to all my skin woes. After all, cleansing is an integral part of having good skin.

But did I have the same experience as them? Do I now consider Clarisonic my skin's new BFF? Read on and find out.

It's true! The only tough thing about buying from Sephora now is choosing what to buy! Other than that, everything is a breeze, thanks to Globe Gcash American Express Virtual Card! All you need is a little patience. After all, your goodies are crossing continents for you! But really, this is one of the easiest purchase ever!

Let me show you my timeline. I took down dates and compared it to when I use to ask my aunt to buy stuff for and send it through a courier service that ships here in the Philippines and boy am I glad I don't have to bother them anymore.
To answer a popular question, My Shopping Box delivered my package at home! I didn't have to pick it up! I wasn't home when the package arrived. I just came home and there it was! A big Sephora box waiting for me!

And for those of you wondering, I paid about Php1,300.00++ for the package. It was automatically debited from my GCASH once I clicked the authorised shipment (did this November 27, 2012). I can't believe how fast My Shopping Box was at moving my shipment along once it reached them. I just hope that they keep up the good work because I plan on buying an iPad Mini next year. :)

If you don't have money on your Gcash wallet, MSB keeps your package for free for about 5 days. After that, a minimal charge will be given for every day you keep your package  with them.

A lot of my friends wondered how come MSB charged me double the weight of my actual Sephora purchase. I plan on emailing MSB about this and if they provide an explanation for this. But honestly, I wasn't that bothered with it. Since I used to pay for the same amount and much more from my former courier and the box were much smaller!

But my friends' concern were valid since we plan on doing a group purchase and we want to know how we can divide the shipping cost.




Overall, it was a great experience. I didn't ran into any problems. Everything is just with a click of a button. Globe Gcash really has outdone itself with the new GCash  American Express Virtual Card. As long as we save money, we can splurge! On almost anything!

If you have other questions, let me know via comment box below. Will answer them right away.

Of course, for the much awaited part! The giveaway! I hope you were as patient as I was!! :)

If you've never tried shopping at Sephora, well now's your chance!


With Globe Gcash American Express® Virtual Card, online shopping in the Philippines just reached new heights. Gone are the days that we're limited to buy anything we want. Seriously, now we can have it all! :)






As a veritable beauty addict, my love affair for cosmetics and skincare have always been a top most priority. I still remember shopping at wee hours of the night online shopping when i first got my credit card.

But it wasn't always see. I ran through some problems.

  • Some shops didn't accept our local credit cards
  • Some shops wouldn't ship here
  • Shipping via known couriers were expensive
  • Some of the things I bought got lost (or stolen in transit)
  • Post office charges too much tax!

But GREAT things come to those who patiently waits!! I can now shop from Sephora, Beauty.com,Target, Amazon and all!!! All thanks to Globe Gcash American Express Virtual Card®. Thank God I've been a GCASH member since it started and that I'm a Globe Postpaid Subscriber  It made made this experience a whole lot easier. Let me share you my story!

I just finally got myself the Makeup Forever Flash Color Case and a new Urban Decay Naked Palette 1! :)





And look what I got for you!! EXCITING!!



But before I tell you how you can win these goodies, I'll tell you first how I was able to buy them!

*You need to be a Globe GCASH subscriber before you can apply/sign-up for GCASH American Express Virtual Card.

Step 1: Log on to https://www.gcashonline.net/gcashamex/ and sign up!
They've got one month fretrial so grab that chance now!

Step 2: Go to Globe Business Canter for your KYC requirement.

The only physical thing you would do is go to a Globe business center for their Know Your Customer requirement (This is important and you can't skip this!). They just have to meet you and know you're an actual person and you're good to go. Postpaid subscribers have it easy since they can just confirm their account by calling the Globe hotline. So if I were you, you're already at Globe, enroll for a postpaid account, too!

Oh! And don't forget to load up your GCASH wallet. :)

Once you've signed up, you'll receive a Globe Gcash American Express® Virtual Card Wallet that will contain all the details you need to shop. It will have your new AMEX Card number, card Expiry Date, US Address, US telephone number, My Shopping Box Login name and password.




Wonder where you'll find the security code? 


You can find that typing *143#:
Press 8 for GCASH

Press 5 for GCASH AMERICAN EXPRESS® VIRTUAL CARD
Press 2 for Request/Change Security Code

You'll receive a notification that will contain your security code -->

If you're on iPhone or Android, just download the Globe GCASH App. :)
You can change you security anytime to avoid card fraud. how cool is that?

My experience: It was so easy to sign up! I thought I was going to have a hard time but within the day, I was able to register and got my virtual wallet via e-mail. I didn't waste time at all and immoderately browsed Sephora.com.

Step 3: Shop and pay with your Globe GCASH American Express® Virtual Wallet!





My experience: II visited Sephora.com, logged on to my account, chose the items I've always wanted to get for myself (and for my readers!), typed in the details needed using my Globe GCASH American Express® Virtual Card, then clicked PAY! That's it! So convenient and doesn't take so much of my time. All I got to do know is wait for my items to reach My Shopping Box US Address! :)



Step 4: Ship and pay for your products to arrive at your Philippine address!






My Shopping Box will tell you right away once your order's been shipped and you'll just have to choose how you want it to get to you, AIR or SEA. Choose Air if you want your products to arrive faster, SEA if you want it cheaper (but these can take a month). Pay also using your American Express account! :)

You can either choose sea or air. If you're not in hurry, you can xhoose sea. But i recommend air only because it's faster. Expensive, yes. But at least, you'll get your items almost immediately.



That's it! You're done! Globe GCASH American Express Virtual Card Wallet will definitely come in handy this BLACK FRIDAY SALE when US Stores go CRAZY!! :) You can now justify getting that

I still can't believe that I was able to shop at Sephora! I thought I'd forever rely on relatives to get me products that I want, when I want it. We all work very hard for a living, once in awhile, we want to reward ourselves for a job well done... or simply just because we really want something. It's makeup for me and it could be many million other things for you. The bottom line is, it's now all possible!

I can now buy the lens I've always wanted for my camera, I can now contemplate on saving up for an airbrush machine and I can get Urban Decay Products as soon as it comes out! How great is that? :)

I am just in awe at this point and I'm still reeling! And thanks to Globe GCASH, I can also share this wonderful experience with you guys! They've asked me to purchase some items that I think my readers would love and of course, I did just that!
