A tip for an online shop

This shop is based in Germany and they deliver in Belgium within 1-3 working days (UPS, 5,50 EUR delivery). They also deliver to a number of other European countries, check here (incl.

Online shopping tips

I just wanted to give a shout out to a couple of well tried and tested Internet shops:
Happy browsing! :-)

A US-based Internet shop selling cosmetics for face and body, tools and sets, offering over 20 different brands.


http://www.allcosmeticswholesale.com/ - quote: All Cosmetics Wholesale specializes in discount, high end cosmetics at below retail, wholesale and below wholesale pricing. I especially recommend it for low priced L'Oreal (HIP - high intensity pigment series) and Maybelline products (a lot cheaper than in Europe).

Alice in Wonderland - online shopping

I admit that one of my guilty pleasures is watching makeup videos on YouTube (Tiffany D, Panacea81, Michelle Phan, EmilyNoel83). Watching them makes me want to scrub my face clean and apply new style of makeup (smokey eyes! cat eyes! graphic eyes!) about 5 times a day!

I became curious about certain brands that I thought only existed in Wonderland (a.k.a. U.S.A.) - NYX, Sonia Kashuk, NYC Cosmetics, ELF, Sigma, Wet n Wild, Covergirl (surprisingly available at your local Delhaize), Sleek-makeup, Seche vite, China glaze, Essie… ).

It did not take me long before I found a website specialized in most of these brands and that delivered to Belgium quickly. They are based in the Netherlands and reply to your e-mails within 24 hours - http://www.boozyshop.nl/. I have already received my very first NYX Jumbo pencil (milk was sold out, so I got the one in cottage cheese), NYX skin eyeshadow base and my first Metal Mania Palette :-). LOVE!
