For all that is good and cheap…
I love a bit of a bargain… especially ever since working at The Body Shop where I got 50% off. I finished my stint there back in July last year and I have only JUST finished using up all the crap I bought on my last spending spree.
But that doesn’t mean I am without 20 different moisturisers, scrubs and shower gels. Thanks to the MOR sale I went to on Saturday I am totally stocked up again! This would have to be one of my favourite brands ever and the fact that twice a year they sell a select range of their stuff at 80% off in a factory sale, pleases me to no end!
So I came home on Saturday $120 poorer but with a box of goodies! The boy literally couldn’t believe how much I got for that amount.
But its got me thinking of all the other places I have found in recent months that has kept my credit card bill high, but my beauty shelf well stocked:
www.fountaincosmetics.com.au - this is where I get my Dermalogica skin products from, as well as my hair products. Everything aims to be 30% off retail price, but because there is an $8 postage charge, you’ve got to stock up to justify the postage.
www.eyeslipsface.com.au - this is one my newest discoveries. Only new to Australia, the company sells all their products for $2.95 and I must say, I was impressed with how quickly I received the items – 2 days after ordering. Their Therapeutic Conditioning Balm is great, as are their glosses – although a little difficult to apply.
http://www.8ty8beauty.com/ - OPI nail polish is one of my favourite brands out there, but at $20 a bottle here in Australia, I really can't justify that. But 8ty8 Beauty sells each bottle for just under $7 Australian – including the postage. That changes a little depending on the exchange rate, but its $2 to post each bottle and $3.75US per bottle, so no matter how you look at it, it beats going into David Jones and paying a heap.
There are countless other sites I frequent, eBay, Strawberrynet, mycatwalk, but the best way to find the newest places offering the bargains is via the vogue forum – forums.vogue.com.au I am by no means an expert in shopping online, but these girls spend their days trawling the latest and greatest sites from around the globe, making the site a mecca for all things beauty.
Now when someone finds me a place I can buy Mac pigments at a discounted rate, I will well and truly kill my credit card.
