    Hi Girls. I was wondering if any of you knew any good websites where cosmetics are cheaper than buying them in town?

    Please let me know any decent ones or what's the cheapest out there.

    You will save a fortune if you order from the Benefit website

    http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/

    It is in dollars and even after the euro conversion it is still a good deal cheaper. Plus they do free international delivery on orders over €100.

    They do free delivery but don't forget to allow for the customs that you are charged when your parcel is delivered. I had to pay out over 20 euro.

    I get all my Dermalogica from www.kudosbeauty.ie - they take Laser too, which I find very handy. Quick delivery too!

    i never know whether threads like this make me wanna get a Credit Card or NOT to get a Credit Card. None of the Sites Take Laser and i'd imagine if i had a CC i'd just keep Buying off the net. i reckon i'd be broke!

    It can depend to be honest. Usually I've found it's between 2 and three weeks. Rather long alright!
    The 20 quid you've to pay customs is a bit annoying but it still works out cheaper than buyin here if you're buying a few things.

    Strawberrynet looks good but they don't seem to have many very pale foundations. It's so hard to find one that matches my skin! :(

    I remember seeing Clinique products on edirectory.ie but it's still ordered through Strawberrynet i think-so no laser.

    There are other merchants they use who accept laser though. I've never ordered from them so no idea how reliable the site is. I tried to hold off on getting a credit card for as long as possible but caved in last October- have gone mad ordering from StrawberryNet since! :eek:

    livingdeadgirl ive been looking for really pale foundation for years. The best ive found is chanel vitalumeire in the fluid (not the compact) they are the palest (and best) foundations ive ever seen.

    Anyone know where I could get some Ruby Mille online.

    Also are you charged for everything that is sent to Ireland from the US?

    What if labels are taken off?

    CTL - try e-bay. The item(s) you're looking for might not be listed now, but there are people constantly adding new items.

    BEWARE OF E-BAY. IT IS SERIOUSLY ADDICTIVE. (Sorry for shouting, but it had to be said.) Also, if any sellers on e-bay don't accept paypal, avoid them. If products are fake (unless you know you're buying a fake from day one) you can report them and there are formal channels for getting your money back if you use paypal, which isn't always the case without it.

    I got a credit card for shopping online when I was a student. The limit was (and still is) only €600, but I've never had to pay a cent in interest - the only charges I've ever paid are the government's €40 levy. Damn bastids! Only use a credit card when you know you have the money to pay it off. 24 hour banking saves my life - I buy online and transfer the money straight away. It's great for buying flights and ordering things like perfume, make-up, hardware etc. /me smiles thinking about micro sd en route for phone.
