Advantages: Been around for years. Great prices, service and delivery. Disadvantages: Limited choice.
I was actually quite saddened to read some negative reviews of BuyCosmetics here because I've bought from them for about 5 years now and I really like them a lot so I'd like to share my own opinion of them here.
I have probably placed about 30 orders with them in total and I think I have had problems with two of those orders. The first was not really their fault because it was Royal Mail who lost my order. I had to wait 14 days before Royal Mail ... ...another. It was supposed to be a gift for someone so it was very inconvenient at the time. The second problem I had was that the plunger in a face cream I bought did not work but I sent it back and a replacement turned up within a week. Apart from the two incidents, I have never had any problems with any order from BuyCosmetics. You can pick standard and express delivery service. Standard is free for orders over £30 (I think it is) and this is usually ...

Quick review of BuyCosmetics.com
I waited nearly two weeks for my order to arrive along with free £25 worth of make up items. The make up was ok as at least there were no garish colours but the item ordered was not really what I expected. Not bad value but the colour was black instead of the expected skin colour. I decided to keep the item anyway as I could not face spending yet more money returning it and having to wait so long again for a replacement or refund. I would advise anyone to check carefully on colour, size etc. I will not order from this Company again as far too slow! and not very clear with descriptions of goods. ...

Advantages: Some cheap buys. Disadvantages: Some obscure buys.
...* * * *
Buycosmetics.com is an on-line cosmetics company. I was originally introduced to it by one of the reward websites by receiving mail. Buycosmetics often has offers and this is what is prominent in the mailings. Not being one to resist a bargain, I had to take a look. Since then, I have used the site several times. The adverts are quite bright, drawing attention to bargains. They are in differents sections, promising a wide variety of bargains, ... ...*
As already mentioned, buycosmetics.com has lots of offers. The clearance has 43% off, 75% off, 79% off, Versace, Calvin Klein, W Seven, Revlon, Maxfactor. They offer the usual lipsticks, eyeshadows, perfume. Some of the brands are not the major high street ones. Revlon and Maxfactor do not have many items. Clinique, which I use on occassion, have very little. The savings are only about £1.25 from £25. The same with Clarins, there is little on ...

Advantages: Cheap products Disadvantages: Poor Customer Service
...I became aware that buycosmetics.com had a bad reputation on forums but still tried it for myself. I now wish I hadn't. It's now 6 weeks since I placed the order and no refund in sight.
They are a small company but this is no excuse. Many small businesses operate effectively and become very successful, unfortunately this is not one of them.
If you wish to order from them do choose carefully because there are better companies out there! ...

Advantages: Standard shipping costs have been scrapped, lots of products and companies to choose from Disadvantages: If you are after a specific product by a specific brand, you may be in for disappointment
*** How I discovered the site ***
I have been meaning to revamp my makeup collection for a while and have finally started the process, what with the sun coming out and melting the heavy products I wear at the moment. I haven't been a memeber of ciao for long but I was directed to this site by a regular user and reviewer of make-up products (I'm sure you know who you are and I am most grateful for it). Anyways, on hearing that the site offered a ... ...deals, I would have been mad not to check it out. I mean, I need a whole collection!!!
*** The Sign-up process ***
To join the site is pretty easy enough. You provide your name, title, address, email, and phone numbers (this can get tricky because they insist on a landline number, which I don't have and wouldn't want to be contacted at work, therefore poor lil brother will have to act as my consultant!). *** Purchasing ***
You can start shopping ...

...cosmetics without any problem from buycosmetics.com a year ago and so thought that they seemed a good company. However, this year they have proved themselves to have no email service available, useless customer services, no clear explanation of when money taken will be repaid for items not delivered, and an unclear delivery policy.
I ordered goods from buycosmetics on the 5th December - by the 7th the money had been taken from my account. My account ... ...been shipped - so, this being an internet site, I sent an email which was bounced back. I then phoned the company - I spoke to an unhelpful "I'm just a temp I don't make the rules" staff member who said that regardless of the 'not shipped' comment on my account, buycosmetics would not confirm or deny that anything had been sent. I suggested that this being the case, the website was rather misleading. I asked about my email and was told that they ...

Advantages: Cheap quality products, free postage, free make up bag for orders over £25 Disadvantages: inaccurate stock details on the site, lack of communication, not very professional, wrong item sent
I came across this website and decided to place an order since the prices seemed reasonable and I appreciated the free delivery option. I was particularly attracted by the Versace range. Buycosmetics claim they give 70% discount off the RRP on the Versace range on average, however I have not been able to verify this as the items they have on sale are old stock and not from the current range. Also, as one may guess (due to the price), they mainly ... ...as these are not so popular. But if you search carefully, you can find some good stuff.
So my suggestion is to double-check the real RRP if you can before you think you are getting an amazing deal as the one they indicate, isn't always correct. For example they sell Madina's loose eyeshadow and claim the RRP is £20 however I have been on their website and none of the items they currently have, sells for that kind of money. The main issue I had, ...

Advantages: top brands plenty of stock and great prices Disadvantages: postage is expensive if only buying 1 item
I stumbled across buycosmeticsdirect.com in a little lifestyle leaflet that dropped through my letterbox recently. The website had been given top ratings by several readers so I thought I would have a little look. Now I have already looked at various websites offering cheaper cosmetics etc.. and I guess they are all much of a muchness. However for layout and price I have to rate this one as the best. I am quite new to this review malarky so I will ... ...they buy in bulk from some of the biggest names in the industry, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Bvlgari, Almay, Christian Dior to name a few.
