Henry's Mom Reviews: BeautyMNL.com

As a working mom who goes on duty every 3 days (with a 24-hour shift), it's hard to find time to go to the mall and shop. That's why when the BeautyMNL contacted me to test drive their site, I was really excited. I have to be honest that I have been frequenting this site for quite awhile now and it’s very easy to use. Just sign up, and then you’re good to go.

They have a great selection. BeautyMNL carries most of our trusted well-known brands as well as those new and promising ones. 

Once you've picked out the items that you want, you can choose to pay via credit card, Paypal, bank deposit or COD.

I placed my order on Novemeber 1st, a holiday. They promised to deliver my goods within 3-5 working days. Impressively, my order immediately arrived the next day. My order came in a sealed zip lock container. 

Here are the items that I got from them. 

(Left to Right) 1. St. Ives Apricot Scrub 2. Maybelline Pure Mineral Blush in Coral 2. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes in Touch of Spice. 

BeautyMNL is not just an online shop, it's a beauty website. My favorite part of their site is the Bloom section. Here you can read about their tops reviews, make up tutorials and skin care. 

I would recommend this site to those who love online shopping due to their wide range of selection and very simple process.

For all of you who likes taking selfies, they have a #selfieMBL contest. Here you can get a chance to win a Prinster polaroid of your pretty face and a Php 200 BeautyMNL GC. Click here for the complete details.

New Life, New Beginning, New Wardrobe? - My Zalora Picks

I finally did it and it still seems surreal! Your blogger, dear readers, has graduated from medical school. Finally, I am Henry's Mom, M.D.  It was a long road to M.D.-hood and it was all so worth it. However, the real journey is just about to begin.

In 2 weeks, I will be starting my postgraduate internship. It's an on-the-job training for graduates of Medicine where we rotate in different departments and be exposed to different medical and surgical specialties. Besides all the learning and experience that I will have, one thing I am also excited about is that I finally get to wear that white doctor's coat! It just makes my M.D.-hood more legit! Teehee!

My New Favorite Courier: BayadPo.com

After the habagat took a toll on my regular courier, they never really recuperated. This meant I had to look for an alternative courier, that can do a better job. So when Multiply.com announced their new courier partners, I tried BayadPo and loved them! Since then I have been using BayadPo for a couple of months now for shipping my products. 

BayadPo offers the most affordable rates starting at P45 for next day delivery. And it's so easy to schedule a pick-up with them online. So far, they have been doing a great job - on-time pick up, no late deliveries. 

When I first tried their service, I scheduled a pick-up a little bit before 4:00pm (their cut off time). And lo and behold, just an hour later, a rider was already knocking at my door ready to pick up my package. They are that fast!

Customer service is awesome as well. It is so easy to call their hotline number for inquiries and booking. Their people are very pleasant to talk to and very accommodating. Although they do not have an online chat system on their website, they respond quickly to inquiries on their Facebook page. 

Among all these things, what really got me to write this review was what happened yesterday. You see, I needed some supplies for Party Impresssions. To get them, I had to go all the way to Quezon City from Mandaluyong (which meant two cab rides for me, ugh!) Suddenly, I remembered that Bayad Po also offers Same Day delivery, and they also have this option that the receiver of the package pays for the shipping fee. This looked exactly what I needed. So I called my supplier, placed my orders and paid them thru BPI Transfer to anyone (another service that I love). I also advised them that a rider from Bayad Po will be picking up my package and I will be the one paying for the shipping fee. After this, i booked a pick up online and waited for my package. Again, after just an hour, my package arrived. And get this, I only paid P120 for shipping! That's less than how much 2 cab rides would cost me. 

So, Kudos to the people behind Bayad Po and keep it up.
