Beauty Websites

Hey beauties!

Now we all love shopping for make up (duh!) and we all know how infuriating it can be when a blogger raves about a certain product and you can't get your hands on it because they don't sell it in your country!
Since living in Australia I've noticed how a huge majority of the brands I love just aren't available anymore which means I've got to try and replace my old product favourites with new brands.

I've been doing some research and managed to find a number of beauty websites that make some of my old favourites available once more.

I apologize if it doesn't ship to your country but it's more than likely if you're in America or England that it's available on the High Street.

WHAT IT SELLS:
Feel Unique has quite a range of both products and brands including Make up,hair products, fragrance ,nails products, beauty accessories, body, healthy living

BRANDS:
Ranges from drugstore to high end. Rimmel, Revlon, L'Oreal, Maybelline Benefit, Dior, bareMinerals, Elizabeth Arden, Essie and more...

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS:
Ships worldwide with free delivery.

COMMENTS:
Overall I'm quite excited about purchasing from this website. It has a large range of brands and a lot of products available within that brand. The prices are cheaper to buy from here than on the high street and  it's free shipping! The downside is that it doesn't ship all products worldwide. 



WHAT IT SELLS:
 Make up and tools. No hair or health.

BRANDS:
Barry M, China Glaze, Beauty Blender, E.L.F, NYC, NYX, Revlon, Sleek, Wet 'n' Wild and more...

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS:
I don't think it ships to Europe but does ship to America, Middle East, Asia-Pacific region, Madagascar, Mauritius. Free shipping does NOT apply to international orders.
Also ships to Australia and New Zealand.

COMMENTS:
It does supply brands that are not available in Australia but there's not a huge range of products within the brands which is disappointing.

WHAT IT SELLS:
Make up, Hair, Bath and Body

BRANDS:
Huge range of brands including bareMinerals, Cloud Nine, China Glaze, Elizabeth Arden, Essie, Orly, OPI, Revlon, S Factor, St. Tropez, Two Faced, Urban Decay, Yes To, YSL and more...

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS:
Free shipping worldwide.

COMMENTS:
Not all brands are available to people in certain countries.

That's just a few websites that I look at when shopping online for beauty products.
I haven't actually ordered anything from these websites because I'm currently broke so I can't say how well they rate in terms of shipping etc.

Anyone got any other wesites to add?

Thierry Mugler's Alien

Hey Beauties!
One of my favourite things about airports is the duty free. I LOVE testing make up and drooling over all the high end brands, but my absolute favourite thing is the perfume.Waltzing through, spritzing them here there and everywhere.
This brings me onto one of my all time favourite perfumes, Alien.

I'm not entirely sure when Thierry Mugler brought out this fragrance but all I can say is thank God he did.
I'm not great at describing perfumes, in fact I'm terrible. I know nothing about all the notes etc but I really am in love with this scent.

The first time I found it was when I got it as a free sample from a Sephora in France. It's just, oh I can't explain it but it's just really nice. It's not sweet and it's not fruity. I dunno, you'll have to smell it for yourself.
I've smelled quite a lot of perfumes and this is the one that I keep coming back to and always drown myself in whenever I'm in an airport, chemist etc.

Unfortunately I have never actually owned it and I'm really sad about it. It's great because it's a perfume rather than an eau de toilette which means you get to smell lovely for AGES!

If anyone knows where in Australia I can get it cheaper than $70 (which I think is what it retails at) please let me know. If I have to spend that much on it I will because it's worth it but I'd love to not have to :)

Any favourite perfumes that you recommend?
