I am new to this blog but thank you for this useful post!! 🙂 🙂 Nothin like gettin stuff at home. Just bookmarked this page for future makeup shopping 😉 🙂
I have a question. Do we have to pay customs in addition to the shipping costs when we order from these sites??
HI Meenal, welcome to IMBB> 🙂 No you don’t have to. 🙂
Cool post!
I’d never heard of Apothica until now…can’t believe I was missing out!
I’m in love with ASOS. They have a US site now and we get free shipping :D:D
I’d add Sephora to this list, it’s the most amazing online store, plus they have great sales and offers. :))
you US people are damn lucky!! free shipping on most of the sites 😛
I would have added Sephora to the list but unfortunately it does not ship internationally 🙁
I’d like to add coastalscents.com 🙂
^^^ Yup! Coastalscents too
Their palette was my first online makeup buy. The rest, as they say, is historyyyyyy
the 88 regular one??? 🙂
Has anyone tried strawberry net? I like thr perfume deals :inlove:
have you bought anything from them?
Nope 🙁
I have heard mixed reviews about them. Some people have had really bad experiences. I even contacted them regarding their shipping. I haven’t received any reply yet 🙁
Hi Aarthi,
We found this online while looking for strawberrynet reviews: http://www.shopping.com/xMR-strawberrynet~MRD-9365~S-1
Take these reviews also with a pinch of salt. Make your own judgment about them, till someone on IMBB reviews them.
Oh Thanks for sharing this Sanjeev. Btw the donkey has a hat.. is it new or it has always been thr and i jus failed to notice ?:-)
V useful post Insiya!! btw are their any Indian sites where we can do online makeup shopping? ?:-)
I doubt there is any indian websites :-/
but there is ebay india if you count it as one 😛
I dont have a credit card..and I donno where me dad keeps his 😥 😥 😥 …can someone tell me if there is any option of shopping with debit cards???? ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) Puleeezzzzz :starving:
*shopping online ..that is..
Hi Anuradha. I havn’t shopped from these sites but I think you can open a Paypal account using your bank account details. You don’t need a card. That might work coz it seems they accept money via paypal.
Great article…however, just one thing…All Cosmetics Wholesale seems to sell MAC products which are very dated…in some cases, they are selling stuff which came out in collections more than a year ago!
I don’t know if it’s a good thing to be buying cosmetics which has probably been sitting in a warehouse or something, given their short shelf life :-((
Oh and also, you forgot to mention Sephora….Sephora is a huge huge huge online makeup store which houses lots of different brands like NARS, Dior, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, etc. etc. Not MAC though!
As you can tell, I am a huge MAC fan :cute:
has anyone ever tried strawberry.net
have seen grt discounts on it and it offers free shipping too. i wanted to buy a few things but ws a bit aprehensive abt the authenticity f thr stuff.
hey do u’all rilly think dis site does provide best deals n i wouldnt get the same prdt at cheaper rates frm some other site??? ?:) i jst loved the blue gel liner frm MAC…tis awesome!!!!!
hey,can neone tell me how ebay.in is for makeup shopping?? i ve selected a few lip glosses but , just scared of their authenticity so m a lil skeptical..neone has ne inputs?
hey….i loveee your blog…hav been reading it 4 a mnth nw…thnk u 4 ur reviews…really saves m frm spending my pocket money on bad products….i jus wanted 2 ask dat do dese sites really deliver in india???
i have tried strawberrynet.com and the MAC products with them are fakes !..i took them to the mac store at Citywalk Saket and they confirmed that they were very good fakes.i got suspicious when one of the mac lipsticks i bought didn’t have the typical vanilla scent that mac lippies have and also the tube had a subtle shine which mac does not have.when u compare the orig and fake side by side u’ll spot the diffrences. wats more laura merciers blush in rose bloom was spewing powder all over the room and laura mercier products esp blushes are very silky so the strawberry one was a fake or very old/expired.i hv learnt my lesson..so no strawberrynet.com for me.
Hi Gals
Thanxx alot for the useful info. thats a gr8 gesture frm u all. Ma qs is which eye shadows colors palette will suit a wheatish complexion. n r these site really v v safe to purchase online?? I knw i’m 2 late to ask!! as i’n a nw member. :smirk:
Hey gurlies….
I don’t have credit card nor debit card! N I want urban decay Naked palette. Which site u would suggest me for Indian online site? Where can I get all these amazing cosmetics??? Plzzzzz helpp :waaa:
http://www.topmakeupstore.com is also a great website. Low prices and plenty of beauty products and makeup. 😉
hey!
i keep ordering from asos all the time but let me tell you their standard delivery(its free) is pretty much unreliable. i have received so far only 2 of my orders on time and rest have taken a really long time, asos has a 9 day grace period until it is delivered to you after which they send the order via express delivery which is brilliant and trackable ( delivers in like 2days!) but if you have to pay for express its 20pounds(alot for me!). oh and once i was even charged around 700rs customs, yes CUSTOMS on a pair of 15pound shoes(via standard delivery)…apparently they charge it randomly :s .
i would suggest you order your items seperately rather than one massive order with alot of items together. :toothygrin:
I loved to mumbai last year from miami. I use a service called ishopinternational.com to get all my make-up and beauty products straight from the U.S. – so I know they’re 100% genuine + it’s what my skin is used to. They are really fast and reasonably priced you just send them the link for what you want to buy and they buy it for you 🙂 (after you pay of course) I get some clothes from forever21.com sometimes too.
