Bargain of the week: ShopandBox your Cosmetics

Posted on May 12, 2014

Hi Beauty Lovers,

Australia is awesome, who can get past the too-cool-for-school cafes, addictive coffee and hidden laneways. But one thing I really wish I could change is the extremely high cost of makeup and cosmetics! Take my favourite MAC Russian Red lippie, it’s a mere 16 USD in the States (approx 19 AUD), but costs a whopping 36 AUD in Australia! I do love a red pout but paying so much in Australia really frustrates me.

Hence, I decided to do some research. Pricing for some cult beauty products in Australia vs ShopandBoxing them from the US directly to my doorstep. And I calculated, even after adding in international shipping + the ShopandBox service fee, with ShopandBox I was still paying way less than what it costs for me to buy it from the departmental store down the street. Yes, there’s nothing like instant gratification, but I can definitely wait for three days with ShopandBox’s 1 -3 day express shipping, and I think my pocket is going to thank me in the long run.

So here goes, a little comparison for all your lovelies!

To start shopping, simply sign up for an account and start adding whatever your little heart desires into a wishlist. When you’re ready, simple select your items, name your order and you’re be assigned a personal Shopper (Boxer) who will shop for you and get it to your doorstep in 3 days flat!
