    Hey girls..

    Quick question.. If you could buy smashbox, mac, bobbi brown, etc highend make up and skincare online, using any payment method you can suggest, AT ABOUT 60% OF THE RRP from Ireland would you?

    Myself and my friend are in the process of registering a new company to do just that and I need to know what you think and have I got a market!!:):)

    As far as I'm aware Mac only sell online through their own websites, so if I saw Mac on your site I'd assume it was fake and I wouldn't buy anything else off it.

    At 60% Irish RRP and confirmations from the people who produce the high-end brands you were selling that they're legit then I'd definitely go for it :)

    Count me in:)
    I adore Bobbi Brown and living up here in Donegal it is impossible to get, therefore I tend to stock up at Dublin Airport when I'm heading off somewhere.

    I buy quite a few bits from Beautybay, strawberry net & Elemis timespa at the minute, would your product range be similar to these?

    I would assume the same that the products were fake. Recently in ireland loads of fake MAC products and makeup brushes are been sold at parties.
    Quality is not the same and they are made in China were there is no quality control so anything can be in products.

    I buy most of my cosmetics from Strawberrynet and find the prices, delivery and customer service excellent. The only negative is that they ship from outside the EU, so you can sometimes get caught with Revenue.

    If your company could compete with the likes of Strawberrynet with regard to price and delivery, then I would definitely be interested! Good luck :)

    If they were 100% authentic then yes I would.

    Of course you would if it's genuine and not 'fallen off the back of a lorry'. But how do you get the products at such a price? That would make me highly suspicious...

    I'd be pretty skeptical tbh, I'd need to see guarantees and some positive reviews from people I trust

    I'd be another one highly skeptical too I'm afraid.

    Got stung for 17 euros on my strawberrynet.com package last week, grrr

    As all the others say, only if it was genuine. Plus as others have asked, how are you sourcing it to be able to sell it at those prices??

    Now I know you can buy all that stuff in bulk on the likes of ebay and all that from bankrupt places, liquidation stock etc but again it's generally the tails ends of lines that no one would buy in the first place! So TBH it's not something I'd want to buy unless I new it was 100% can't say I want to be left with a face like a strawberry for a week!
