This Tuesday’s Price Comparison Series features something else that’s more beauty-based and less haute couture: NARS Blush (the colour Orgasm is a cult favourite). As you Shoppers already know, getting one makeup item will definitely not make the most of your DHL Express/international shipping fee, so in a few words or so below, we’ve come up with ways to save our Shoppers some $$$ by ShopandBox-ing this HG product from the USA.
Another great tip to save more on international shipping fees include ShopandBox-ing items that are found at lower price points and/or are only available in USA. Some items you can add to your ShopandBox hauls – MAC Lipsticks, Colourpop products, nail polishes including Essie and OPI, and even a pair of lightweight Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses!
NARS Blush in Orgasm: USD 23 / 43g
One 500g satchel can fit 10 NARS blushes
500g 3-day Express shipping from the US to Australia = USD 21
500g 3-day Express shipping from the US to Singapore = USD 15
500g 3-day Express shipping from the US to Malaysia = USD 17
