Since I have moved from Singapore to Sweden, my buying habits are very different. Most beauty/nail products are very expensive in Sweden due to the high taxation. Also they do not carry many popular brands (still in the stone age LOL)! This means I have to look online and get my makeup/nail polish and other beauty items. Here are some online retailers I recommend and don't. Please note that this list is based on my experience and I cannot guarantee that you might experience the same. Thus please use this list as a reference and make your OWN purchasing decisions. Remember Google is your best friend when doing research!
SKINCARE (Beauty products like face cream, moisturizers and oils.)
www.akamuti.com - Awesome company and products. Ordered two times from them. They are quick in order processing and delivery around Europe. However, they do not deliver outside of UK & Europe.
MAKEUP (includes eyeshadow palettes,foundation, lipsticks, etc...)
www.love-makeup.co.uk - Got my lip tars from them, fast order processing and shipping.
www.geniecosmetics.co.uk - Shipping prices are reasonable and they have discounts at times.
www.thebodyneeds2.com - Here is where I got my Mac pigments.
www.camerareadycosmetics.com - Shipping is pricey if you are outside of USA. Here is where I get my MUA kit supplies.
www.ebay.com - Great place to get the 88,120 eyeshadow palettes.
NAIL POLISH (China glaze, OPI and other nail related products.)
www.8ty8beauty.com - Bought a pedicure set from them 3 years ago.
www.head2toebeauty.com - Got my China glaze, color club and orly nail polishes.
www.ebay.com - Have bought many nail art related items. Just make sure to check the transaction or feedback history of the store before you buy anything from them.
Online stores I DO NOT recommend - this is based on my bad experience which comprise of the following factors, bad customer service, product quality and missing packages.
www.evepearl.com - What a nightmare I had with this company!
www.bornpretty.com - Ordered gel nail set and it came with missing items. Sent several emails to the customer service, they take days to respond and also, no refund or replacement given. Update: Customer service got back to me after two weeks and sent the missing items.
More companies will be added whenever I buy or remember them.
Hope this list helps you!
