Before that I was using Blackmores skincare products and I liked the products very much. But when I returned from Down Under, I had great difficulties in sourcing the products for sale in Malaysia. Whenever I found a pharmacy in Kota Kinabalu selling some of the products, I would request the pharmacist to specially order from the distributor in Kuala Lumpur. After two years of doing that, I gave up because most of the time even the distributor did not have the products I wanted.
When I started working in Tg. Malim in 1996, every Saturday afternoon my uncle and his family would send one of his daughters, Yeng Yeng to Petaling Jaya for ballet lessons. I would go along with them. Once my uncle drove me to the Blackmores distributor and I found out my assumption was correct. They do not order the full range of Blackmores skincare products. I had to resort to use another brand.
Since Shiseido was first produced in Japan, I thought it would suit my skin better as compared to other Western brands. Some friends did ask me why I did not choose Kose. I guess it is not as well known as Kose. And at that time SK II was not available in the market yet. And even now I do not want to switch to SK II because the products are way beyond my budget.
Once when my uncle, his family and I were shopping in 1 Utama Shopping Centre, I went to the Shiseido counter and asked the skincare consultant regarding the products. I automatically become a Shiseido YOU Club member upon buying the skincare products.
But after 15 years, Shiseido YOU Club bowed out and Shiseido Camellia took over at the end of last year.
At the beginning of this month, I received a card from Shiseido Camellia for my birthday. Shiseido Camellia rewards members 3x birthday points for every purchase made on the special month.
