    Hi All
    I usually get my cosmetics and beauty products in the North but I am not going for awhile and I am caught, running out of moisturizer, foundation and hair product.

    Have been thinking about buying online, never done this before?

    any suggestions and advice would be appreciated

    Products are Clinique, Este Lauder and Fudge hair product

    Tks

    Hi there,
    I have used www.uutrade.com and also www.strawberrynet.com and havent had any problems. Havent seen the Fudge hair product on either website but its worth a try. They have the other brands you were looking for anyway. :)

    You can get Fudge hair products from HQHair. I haven't ordered from there myself, but my sister did and she had no problems. They ship from the UK too so no customs charges are involved.

    feelunique.com
    I have used them about 5 times at this stage and never had a problem. Way cheaper on price and free delivery

    Agreed on feelunique, quick enough shipping and low prices.
    I get my Touche Eclat from there.

    I buy a lot of stuff off this site - http://allcosmeticswholesale.com

    The products are genuine and it can be really cheap depending on the postage costs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,264 ✭✭✭mood


    Are there any Irish website to buy from?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭Miss Fluff


    Strawberry.net is excellent. And the nice people there send you a little present too which is always nice :)

    Just a word of warning regarding the above website;

    I ordered over $400 worth of MAC make-up from allcosmeticswholesale.com and most of it was FAKE

    When I complained to the lady running the site she just didn't want to know about it and ignored my e-mails.

    I ended up throwing out all the fakes which was most of my order as I didn't know what was in them.

    Not a happy camper after that experience :mad:

    What made you think they were fake?

    Have ordered from strewberry net too..... Good value and free postage but it takes nearly 3 weeks for delivery. Great for Bliss, clinique and dermalogica. Does not stock a full range of makeup colours etc.

    Gives 5% off if you order 3 items and 1% -10% on repeat visits (eg. 4% off on your forth visit)

    Ive ordered from strawberry net before also and its pretty gud. Takes a couple of weeks to deliver but is worth it.

    Salonskincare.co.uk sell Fudge, but not Estee Lauder or Clinique.

    Salon Skincare

    I have ordered off them 2-3 times before and always had my order within 1-3 days. Also with SalonSkincare, they give you points to use to get money of your next order. I saved about £15 between all my orders with the point I received.

    Fragrance Direct sell all three brands, but I don't know if they have the products you are looking for.

    Fragrance Direct - Fudge

    Fragrance Direct - Clinique

    Fragrance Direct - Estee Lauder

    I have ordered from Fragrance Direct before and it took between 5-9 days for my order to arrive.

    I am really really surprised to hear that. A lot of the items she has are discontinued items or older versions. I read a massive thread about it on specktra a while ago but of course I cant find the link now - I dont think anyone felt they had gotten fake stuff.

    I bought some Smash Box Photofinish Primer on www.allcosmeticswholesale.com recently and I am wondering if it's fake. It's in a plastic bottle and it seems to soak right in rather than make my skin any smoother at all. Something just feels a bit off about it.

    I might be wrong but I wouldn't be confident buying there again.

    I got really badly stung with tax when my last parcel from strawberry.net arrived - I bought about 100e worth of stuff and paid nearly half that again in tax....so definately did not work out any cheaper than if i had bought the stuff in BTS! I might have just been unlucky but just something to be aware of! will be stocking up in the duty free from now on.....

    MAC on Strawberry.net looks more expensive than it is in store - or close enough anyway. €17.50 for an e/s, aren't they €16.50 in BT? (I don't remember since I only get MAC in the UK or US these days)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    I love ELF, cheap and cheerful. Quick to deliver too!
