I have been dying to tell you about this for the longest time. But I needed to wait for a full two weeks in order for the Botox to work. Botox is not a taboo. I have no problem telling people that I had botox on my forehead. For years I’ve been wanting to get Botox for my forehead wrinkles. I remember telling a friend a few years ago that I’ve been thinking to get Botox for the ugly wrinkles on my forehead and this friend of mine suggested that I tried facial or skin care to solve the issue. None of them works. It has been a few years now and the older I get, the slower the lines smooth out day by day.

Last week I posted up a review on Sublime Skin Contouring treatment at Renée Clinic. If you haven’t check it out, do click on the link earlier. But that’s not the main reason why I was there. I was at Renée Clinic to get Botox on my forehead. Yeap! I finally did it.

Renee Clinic Botox 1

Botulinum Toxin A Treatment

Botulinum Toxin A or BTA in short is a purified protein derived from Bacteria culture. This type of protein has a 60-year long history in aesthetic medicine. It is widely used to relax active muscles that causes wrinkles on the face (around the forehead, frown lines, crow feet lines, bunny lines, peri-orbital, peri-oral and platysma band. It can also be used to treat sweaty palms, smelly armpits, large and oily pores) as well as body. With more than 7 million people have used it to date, it is one of the most effective and rewarding treatment in reversing the sign of ageing. Although BTA is mainly used to relaxe muscles, it can also be used to achieve V-shape face, face-lift and brow-lift as well. The two internationally recognized and FDA approved Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) brands are BOTOX and DYSPORT. It has been proven to last 6 – 8 months per injection.

 

Why is forehead wrinkles bothering me?

I was blessed with oily skin. No doubt oily skin can be annoying at times as I look like oil slick half a day and spent half a day blotting the excess oil off. The pros of having an oily skin is that I don’t have fine lines and wrinkles or at least having lesser fine lines appearance comparing to dry skin. I do have fine lines on the under eyes due to a long time bad habit of rubbing my eyes. The skin on my forehead is somehow thicker and harder. Add that with the fact that I am someone with lots of facial expression, I can easily wrinkle up my forehead. It is also because I started doing makeup on daily basis, I needed to raise both my eyebrows whenever I’m doing eye makeup. A few years ago the wrinkles on my forehead will smoothen out in no time after I’m done with my makeup. Lately it has gone severely wrinkled that the lines are not smoothen out by itself even after half the day. I guess age is catching up and it does take a toll on my skin.

Consultation and assessment

Many people thought that there will be a charges for walking in for a consultation. I’m not sure how other clinic operate but when I was at Renée Clinic waiting lounge, a guy walk-in for treatment enquiry, asking if there will be any charges for consultation. I overheard the Beautician telling him that there is no charges for consultation 😀

Dr. Renee did an assessment on my concern area and getting to know more on why I was thinking to have Botox on my forehead. One thing I notice about Dr. Renee is that she don’t simply jump into conclusion and advise me to get Botox immediately without conducting an assessment and offering advise on what I can do to prevent the wrinkles from deepening. I know very well that I can’t do my eye makeup without raising my brows. Dr. Renee told me that not everyone can take Botox on their forehead. I was fit to undergo the treatment so Dr. Renee took a consent form for me to sign while explaining to me the side effect (if any) and most importantly, after treatment care. Patient will be given a copy of the after care instruction to take home as well.

 

Mapping out injection spots

Before the procedure start, Dr. Renee map out areas that needed to be injected with Botox with a pencil. She ask me if I wanted to inject some onto my frown and I said why not 😀 . I was told to raise my brows and frown in order to identify which spot needed to be treated. I have never seen anyone that can wrinkled up a forehead as good as I do LOL.

Renee Clinic Botox 4
Here comes the injection!

I have no idea what is my pain tolerance level as it was my first time with Botox. So my forehead was numb by using ice pack, which I think is good enough for a few quick injection. I’m not going to lie. It was really painful although the needle used is the finest and I only found out a few seconds before the first injection haha 😀 . The fact is, it is the Botox that is painful not the needle. The most painful area for me is the gap between my eyebrows. Dr. Renee said that the flesh on that area is harder thus the pain. But no worries. Overall, the pain is not that bad. I would say it’s bearable. There’s a saying, no pain no gain right? 🙂

Renee Clinic Botox 5
After the injection, my forehead was applied with some antibiotic cream and then with some sunblock. The picture below is right after the procedure. It is red because my skin is sensitive and it gets baboon butt red very easily comparing with other people. The amount of Botox that I get is at the most minimal because the concern area is not that huge and I do have just two deep wrinkle lines that is bothering me. Oh and I have to photoshop away my acne scar as it’s looking like a nippy oppss.

Renee Clinic Botox 6
I was told to move my brows up and down 1 – 2 hours after the procedure in order to help working the Botox into the muscle better and evenly but I don’t have to overdoing it otherwise people will thought I’m crazy. I must not strain myself for the next four hours such as facial, sauna, exercising, gym and so on. The redness went away by the time I reach my house. There was no pain and swelling for me after the treatment. However I do feel like my forehead was bruised on the same night. It was nothing serious. In fact it was better than I thought. I woke up the next day with no side effect, pain, bruising or swelling.

 

Before and After

Before Botox, I can easily wrinkled up my forehead like an old woman 😀 . It must be the aftermath from laughing at my dad’s forehead wrinkles a lot that I had it now eh? Sorry dad, I know now that I shouldn’t laugh at your forehead wrinkles.

Renee Clinic Botox 7

Renee Clinic Botox 8
Botox doesn’t work immediately. In fact it will take 48 hours to 14 days in order for Botox to work it’s magic. It is only on Day 2 that I started to feel a bit of pulling on my forehead. On Day 3, I can feel the pulling even more and I can’t really raise my brows or frown properly anymore. I still can, just tougher and it takes a lot of effort to do it. It’s amazing to see and feel the progress from Day 1 to Day 3. I started to realized that it’s a big difference on what I can do with my facial expression and what not. Simply amusing.

Renee Clinic Botox 9

Renee Clinic Botox 10
This is when angry faces become funny faces 😀

Renee Clinic Botox 11
Finally, on Day 15. This is when Botox is on it’s full force. I’ve decided to show you how it looks like with makeup on because makeup does accentuate every.single.fine.lines on the face. I want to show you how much I love my forehead now.

Renee Clinic Botox 12
I still raise my eyebrows when I do my makeup. Old habit die hard. The only difference now is that my forehead stays still when I do so. Only my brows were raised and the rest of the face stays still. Botox help to keep my forehead skin in place.

Renee Clinic Botox 13
LOL. This is the angry facial expression. Nope. I can’t frown anymore. I can’t scold anyone with angry face for the next six months. Everytime I get angry, I laughed. It just crack me up looking at this angry face.

Renee Clinic Botox 14
What I like about Botox-ing the wrinkles on my forehead beside eliminating the wrinkles is that my skin is so much firmer and smooth now. I do have high forehead and ever since Botox, I feel that my forehead is even higher and somewhat ‘naked’. Probably because the skin is so much firmer now. I seriously can’t get enough of my forehead.

Renee Clinic Botox 15
I’m not quite done yet with the pros of Botox. My brows is so much lifted that I have problem drawing them! It used to be flat and I need to draw an arch on it. I was shocked that the shape is so archy now even before drawing them. I’m not used to draw on archy brow! So please do ignore all the wonky brow-do from now onwards until I figure out how to draw them hahaha!

That’s not all. My eyes is relatively larger and looking more awake thanks to the brow lifting. I don’t have an even eye lid crease on both eyes but I do now 😀

Renee Clinic Botox 16

Renee Clinic Botox 17
Most people told me the wrinkles on the forehead is nothing serious until Botox is needed. True in a way but I’m not getting any younger, skin care is not strong enough for that. As you age you skin will take a longer time to rejuvenate and repair itself. I can see that with my forehead. I don’t have fine lines or wrinkles on my face besides the under eye therefore the wrinkles on the forehead makes me look much more older. I have no regret with undergoing Botox treatment for my forehead. I can now do my makeup without any worry and walk out of the house feeling more confident.

What does it feels like after a month of having Botox? Well honestly I feel great! At first I wasn’t used to it. I keep reminding myself that I have a fragile forehead and that I have to be gentle. But that slowly went away and I don’t keep in mind that I had Botox anymore. My forehead does feel a bit dry and tight in air-conditioned room. It’s nothing that a moisturizer can’t solve though. By the time I hit the 3rd week, the tightness and dryness is gone. My forehead feels like normal. In the next six months, I need to try to do my makeup without raising my brows and I need to do lesser facial expression. That, of course will be tough since I’m enjoying the privilege of having no wrinkles and knowing I can always go back after six months 😀

Renee Clinic Botox 18

 

Now tell me. Will you go for Botox for either wrinkles or for V-shape face? What will be your tolerance level before opting for Botox? For me it was because there is no skin care that is able to smooth out these wrinkles.

When I first started on skin care and makeup I wasn’t earning much. Going to the counter to get full size is out of my reach. I have this mentality whereas I don’t spend on full size if I didn’t try a deluxe size product first. I’m not so keen with sample because it’s too little to tell if it suits me so deluxe has always been the size I aimed on trying. But then…getting a deluxe sample from the counter is almost impossible. I can’t just walk over and ask for it because deluxe size samples are mostly reserved for their customers or for tier GWP giveaway. Regular readers would have know that I love to shop online and I’m quite well-known in getting the best price and deal in town. People constantly ask me “how you know”? The secret is google, google and google. I don’t ask around where or how to get something cause I don’t like to trouble anyone. I google on things that I’m looking for.

Clinique is the first brand that I started with. If you remember this post, this post, this post and this post… I hauled quite a few products from one particular online website. I have never revealed which website it is unless someone ask because I always believe nothing comes by easy. That was my philosophy until quite a few months ago when some of you emailed me asking how to make a purchase from online store. Is it safe? Is it authentic? Does the item arrive? And the most frequently ask question was how do I know which seller / website to shop from. My answer is trials and error.

Nowadays I just count on Best Buy World Malaysia to settle all my beauty shopping needs. It is also through Google I found Best Buy World Malaysia. Today I am going to show you on how to navigate around Best Buy World Malaysia as well as a step-by-step guide on making a purchase. This will answer all newbie’s curiosity and answer :). Sit back, grab a muffin and make yourself a cup of hot coffee because this is going to be picture heavy and long 🙂

BBW1

 

Where To?

Best Buy World Malaysia is an international website operated online shopping website in 4 countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia. It is a one-stop online shopping website that carries a variety of branded skin care, fragrances, cosmetics, handbags and makeup pouches as well as varieties of gift sets from brands such as Estee Lauder, Clinique, SK-II, Christian Dior, Chanel, Calvin Klein, L’Occitane, Biotherm, Kanebo, Shiseido, Clarins and many more.

Always make sure you go to http://my.bestbuy-world.com/ and not other country. The “my” on the front of the url stands for Malaysia ya.

BBW2

 

New Updates

One thing that I really like about Best Buy World Malaysia is the newly added items update on the middle top of the website. It is also the section that I constantly check for new product added. That way I can know if Best Buy World Malaysia had updated their website with new goodies.

BBW3

 

Search By Brand

If you just want to search for everything under one specific brand such as SK-II, you can scroll further down and you will see a Brand List. Click on SK-II and you will be directed to all the items listed under SK-II.

Alternatively, a full brand list is also located at the left sidebar. I would prefer to navigate from the sidebar though. Which ever way you find more convenient and easier for you is fine. If you are still lost…just type in the search bar to search for any item.

BBW4

 

New Products & Monthly Specials

Another favorite of mine would be the New Products section. Besides the new item listed updates on middle top, you can also refer to this special section just below the Brand List. Firstly you will see New Products for May. Click on that and you will see all the new item thumbnails.

Not only that. Every month Best Buy World Malaysia will also list a lot of Monthly Specials. This section is all about special discounts, promotions and clearance. It is also through this section I found out that Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream is on 3 for RM39 sales (bought 2 times by the way).

BBW5

 

Step-By-Step Shopping Guide

Before you start a whole new exciting world of online shopping, firstly first – Sign-up for an account. All your past purchases details, points accumulations and redemption details will be listed in your account. Besides you can only make a purchase if you have an account. Do that if you are new to Best Buy World Malaysia.

BBW6

 

Login (For Returning Customers)

As for me, I already had an account so I will just login using my email address and password. Key-in both details and click Login.

BBW7

 

Adding Item To Shopping Cart

I was itching to get a few deluxe size products that I had been eyeing on so I find what I want and click Add To Cart.

BBW8
After I found what I wanted and adding each and every one of it into my shopping cart, I normally will take a look in the Shopping Cart just to reconfirm my purchases.

Once that is done, what I need now is a makeup pouch 🙂

BBW9
After browsing again and again at Pouch section, I settled with this Dior Half Moon Grey Pouch for RM25. I haven’t own any pouch from Dior before so this would be my first. For your info, you can find sections by category such as Pouch, Cosmetics, Fragrance, Shoe, Jewellery and many more at the top left sidebar.

BBW10

 

Review Your Shopping Cart Contents

After I’m done getting everything that I wanted, I was ready to check out. But before that I went to my Shopping Cart again to take a look at the list of products that I had added into my cart just to reconfirm again. Sometimes I add things that I saw while browsing but unsure if I should get it or not. But usually it ended at my home lol.

I’m ready to check out! Just click on Checkout tab to proceed to check out steps.

BBW11

 

Checking Out: Step 1 of 3 – Delivery Information

In total there would be 3 steps to proceed with to check out. The first one would be to confirm delivery information. Double check the Name and Address. Click on Change Address tab should you need to change anything.

If you notice I wasn’t charged for shipping. That’s because free shipping will be offered for order over RM150.

There is a section for you to input Special Instructions or Comments about your order. Normally I will leave a note to the seller to bubble wrap securely all my items :).  It’s really not necessary for me to write so cause Best Buy World Malaysia always wrap my parcel properly without fail. It is just a habit of mine to say the same to all seller whenever I’m doing online purchases 🙂

Click Continue to proceed to the next step.

BBW12

 

Checking Out: Step 2 of 3 – Payment Information

This step is to confirm your billing address and choosing payment method.

Billing Address should be the same as the one on your credit card statement. This is important if you are to use your credit card for payment. For bank-in payment customers just make sure the Billing Address is your correspondence address. Correspondence address is the address you uses to receive mail. Should you need to change the address, just click on Change Address tab.

If you have Best Buy Points you can use the points to offset your total. For RM100 spent, 100 Best Buy Points will be credited to your account. A total of 100 Best Buy Points = RM1.(Normally reduction rate of the point = 1%). If you leave a review after using you will earn Best Buy Points too. For more information on Best Buy Points, please refer to this link.

Payment Method is the method you choose or prefer to make payment for your order. Normally I will use bank-transfer. This time I’m using Credit Card Payment. Click on your preferred method and click Continue to proceed to the last step.

BBW13

 

Checking Out: Step 3 of 3 – Order Confirmation

On the last step of checking out is a summary of everything that you did in Step 1 and 2. This is the last chance for you to edit / change whichever that is needed if you have not done so in earlier steps. Double check your order and click Confirm Order to proceed.

BBW14
If you had opted for Bank Transfer for payment, you will see this instruction instead in Step 3. Go to your respective online banking portal (manually), transfer and email your payment receipt over as per instruction.

BBW19
As for me I opted for Credit Card Payment earlier so I am redirected to this page to enter my credit card details.

BBW15

 

My Account

Once everything is done, you will be redirected back to your Account. This is where your submitted order will be marked as Pending. Do not panic because Best Buy World Malaysia team will check your payment and update the system.

BBW16

 

Email Order Confirmation

An email pertaining Order Confirmation will also be sent to your email inbox for safe keeping. In this email you will find your Order Number, order placed date and also all the item purchased in detail. Order Number is important to note should you need to contact Best Buy World Malaysia regarding your order.

BBW17
If you need to review back your order from your account in Best Buy World Malaysia directly, just click on “Click Here for Detailed Invoice” from your email or view from your My Account.

There is many ways to recheck and re-look back order. Everything is in order in your Account tab.

BBW18

 

Past Purchases & Points History

There is also a little tab to show all orders from the beginning. This history includes past purchases and points fixation. I just realized mine is 2-pages long!

Everytime you write a product review you will be rewarded with 100 Best Buy Points. Each time the points is credited to your account it will also appear in this History page. You may not be able to track which is for which review because it is not stated but the dates and order number is intact.

BBW20
As soon as my payment went through, my parcel was sent out the next day and I received the next day after that. Overall it only took 2 days. My parcel was sent out via PosLaju just in case you are wondering. I had been purchasing from Best Buy World Malaysia since June 2011 and all my parcel was sent via PosLaju till to date. Best Buy World Malaysia also offer Cash On Delivery on selected area. Unfortunately my area Kajang wasn’t included. I still remember the first purchase that I made I opted for COD because Kajang was stated in the area covered. However I was told Kajang wasn’t included and there was a slight mistake with that in the website. The problem was soon rectified and Kajang was removed from the COD area. It was no biggie cause I still receive my parcel in a fast and good condition.

To get more info on COD and shipping including returns and exchange, click on this link.

BBW21
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my parcel was nicely wrapped together with a gift tag that said Specially For You. I found out that it is because of Mother’s Day Best Buy World Malaysia team added an extra touch to it. For normal days all parcel will be wrapped in brown paper on top of bubble wraps.

BBW22
Psst. I can even recycle this gift tag because it’s a rubber band type of gift tag. Really nice. Using brown paper to wrap the parcel is not bad eh. I didn’t imagine it to be this nice and simple. Perhaps next time I will try this too 🙂

BBW23
As I mentioned before, the brown paper wrapper is wrapped on top of a layer of bubble wrapping. You will be surprised at the bubble wrapping effort provided. This is the first layer. Wait till you see more.

Best Buy World Malaysia is one of the biggest importers for branded cosmetics. As they buy the goods in bulk at low prices and sell them at promotional prices, don’t be surprised to see that your parcel arrived in a Dior box. I once get SK-II box before too!

BBW24
There’s more bubble wrapping! The second layer of protection is on the pouch itself. This layer is greater than the first one as it’s double layered.

BBW25
And the last bubble wrapping is on the deluxes sizes itself. Also in double layer. These are stored inside the pouch so it is really well protected.

BBW26
Here is my haul.

Hyperlinked from left to right: Clinique Super City Block SPF40 15ml, Dior Diorsnow UV Shield BB Creme 10ml, Clinique Almost Lipstick #Flirty Honey, Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial Mask 15ml, Dior Diorsnow D-NA Reverse White Reveal Night Concentrate 7ml and a Dior Half Moon Grey Pouch.

There is an obvious reason for my haul. If you look at it carefully the items I’ve selected are in sequence – sunblock, BB Creme, lipstick, mask & scrub, night serum and a pouch to store it. I might be travelling end of the month so this would be the essential for the short trip.

BBW27
Clinique Super City Block SPF40 15ml (RM28) is a high-level daily sun protection in a sheer, weightless formula. I had always wanted to try this from Clinique but there wasn’t any sample available so I turn to Best Buy World Malaysia. It is for all skins, even the most sensitive as products from Clinique are quite mild. It is slightly tinted but sheer out after applied on the face.

BBW28
Dior Diorsnow UV Shield BB Creme SPF50 10ml (RM40) is infused with the iconic Dior Icelandic Glacial Water. This BB Creme give me a medium coverage but buildable to high coverage which is just nice. It comes with the highest UV filter that ensure 100% felt all-day protection efficacy. The texture is enriched with a blend of New-generation colour-correcting pigments instantly. Diorshow range has whitening properties too. On long run dark spots will be reduced.

BBW29
Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial Masque 15ml (RM16) is a mask and scrub in one. When I travel I want to save time on the usual long skin care routine. This 5-minute facial mask has a cool, refreshing sensation on the face. It contain fine scrub bits that are with powdery consistency. After leaving on for 5 minutes, wet face with lukewarm water and start massaging gently. Always love a 2-in-1 function product!

BBW30
Dior Diorsnow D-NA Reverse White Reveal Night Concentrate 7ml (RM43) is a night serum from Dior that I always wanted to try too. It is quite costly to get a full size of this without trying. The word D-NA intrigued me so so much. It is also infused with the iconic Dior Icelandic Glacial Water. This night essence stimulate the DNA to repair the skin’s enzymes and curbing melanin production at the very heart of the cells while sleeping.

Clinique Almost Lipstick #Flirty Honey (RM34) is a sheer, glossy, emollient-rich and very lightweight lipstick but not quite a lipstick. As the name suggest it resembles a lipstick but in fact it is more like a tinted lip balm. It gives me a very nice pink tint on the lips that I really like. Perfect for travelling as it won’t be as heavy as lipstick.

Dior Half Moon Grey Pouch (RM25) is a very well-made pouch that is high quality and thick. I choose grey so that it is more dirt resistance. The zip opens from the bottom end to the other due to it’s shape. It is quite spacious really due to it’s base diameter.

If you had been online hopping for as long as I do you will know the feeling when you have finally found a reliable with wide product varieties online shopping website. I relied on Best Buy World Malaysia on getting branded deluxe sizes and full size at a much cheaper price than retail.

This online shopping website is also good for those that just started with beauty routine with minimal budget. That is how I started too. And who doesn’t like all the cute deluxe sizes right?

“Have you heard? There’s a new kid on the block!

It’s not a secret that I love beauty box. I think I’ve mentioned several time before that I buy the concept of it. I think the idea of trying out deluxe trial size products and brands before heading over to the counter to purchase a full size is absolutely great. So who’s the new kid you may ask? It’s MIVVA BOX.


MIVVA.com is the fast becoming Malaysia’s hottest Online Beauty Portal and this month they’re launching their debut MIVVA Beauty Box! Today 7th December 2012 also mark their unveiling of the website and to join you need a special MIVVA.com Invitation Code.

For only RM38 per month, you get 5-6 exciting beauty products and this Christmas, they’ve also packed in little surprises! I never miss Christmas or Valentine box as normally it’s quite packed compare with normal months. Can’t wait for the first box this Christmas!

As boxes are limited, they are only open to members (from 7th Dec onwards) and I was lucky enough to be selected to share the Invitation Code with my readers!
