We all know nowadays buying online is no big deal, also when buying cosmetics and make up. But there are still certain things you should be on the lookout for, when buying online, since there is a ton of online stores. I discover a new one practically every day. To make buying cosmetics and make up online easier and safer, I’ve collected a few advices for you that I always stick to, when buying online.
DON’T BUY FAKES
DO YOUR RESEARCH
When you are buying cosmetics online, research the product thoroughly. Find the INCI list of ingredients, read blog reviews, check your in Facebook groups and forums and take a look at more then one picture that show the colour and texture of the product, read the discription of the product and all the opinions. Why? Each screen has its own settings and my green is not necessarly the same as your green. You also cannot see the way a product smells and it isn’t really good if you receive a product and you find out it smell totally like coconut and you just can’t stand the coconut smell. Money trough the window 😉 Of course there is still risk that the product won’t work for you but this way it is down to a minimum.
CHECK TERMS & CONDITIONS
Before purchase it’s good to get to know the terms and conditions the store has. What’s the shipping fee? Are there any other benefits? How are the returns procesed? What if the package comes damaged? The most important thing to check before purchase are the informations about the company, together with a contact that you can reach them at in case of troubles. If web page doesn’t have all the info’s about the company it’s not necessarily a bad page, but I am certanly more careful with purchase in that case.
COMPARE THE PRICES
