I have only just started purchasing beauty products over the internet and have been amazed at how much money you can save on the products.
I gave island-trading a whirl because I had read a review by one of the Ciao gang, and I am glad that I paid this website a visit.

Advantages: MASSIVE discounts, hard-to-get brands, no P&P Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of any
I am a cosmetic junkie, and I also love a bargain. So, when I searched Yahoo for 'discount cosmetics, and came across this site, I was in heaven! This site has a wide choice of different beauty and fashion items. They started out selling discount perfume and aftershave, but have now expanded and stock a really large selection of make up and skin care. The site is very easy to navigate. You can either browse by category (men’s fragrance, women’s ... ...brand or product type (i.e. cleanser, lipstick). The site is quick and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for fast. On the homepage there is a tab for you to click so you can look at video clips of certain products from the site being demonstrated. Island Trading stock a huge range of brands, from L’Oreal to Lancôme to Lancaster! They also sell brands that are not easily available in the UK. These brands may not have such a big ...

Advantages: Big names at low prices Disadvantages: Things sell out fast
If you're a bit of a label junkie when it comes to things girlie, then island-trading.co.uk is the place for you. They stock all the big names - Clinique, Clarins, Lancome, Chanel, Anna Sui, YSL, Dior etc. - and there are massive savings to be made. They also stock the Iman range which is designed for black skins but the skincare range is also useful if your skin is oily whatever it's colour.
They also sell tacky things like bright wigs and horrible ... ...were going to a fancy dress or something it would be worth a look.
One superb thing about this site is that they always have a great 'sale' or 'bargain' section which, if you spend £20 on other products, you can take advantage of items in this section for anything from £1 to £5. I've got Chanel stuff from this section at under a fiver, and Aussie hair products at a quid!!
Why are they so cheap? Well, some of the stuff comes unboxed (although mine ...

The first good thing about island-trading is that you dont have to pay high delivery charges, some of the websites I have come across in the past charge huge delivery costs, which ... ...you end up paying all the money you saved on the actual prodicts back in postage and packaging, so thats a good bonus for a start.
The site itself is easy to nagivate, and everything is clearly catagorised, which means you can find the products you want very easily, I must admit some of the products that are on offer on this site I have never heard of before, but having tried some of these products, they are better than the high street brands.

Advantages: Cheaper than High St, good brand names Disadvantages: Limited colour choice
This site has lots of desgner cosmetics up for grabs. It isn't cheap but in comparison with the prices in high street stores it is cheaper. Generally you can expect to pay about a quarter less than the high street price. Delivery ifs free too and has been pretty quick on my last few orders.
The site sells products by Chanel, Clinique, Christian Dior, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Clarins and loads more. The products are all full sized and boxed. The site ... ...week, last week I got theree double Christian Dior eyeshadow pallettes for £10. I'd advise you to join their mailing list then you get to hear about the bargains the day before they are actually published meaning that you can get in there first to have your pick of the colours.
Sometimes the colour choice can be limited and the popular products do sell out quite quickly but on the whole this is a great site for those of us who like to splash out ...

Advantages: Choice of products/brands, cheap, quick delivery. Disadvantages: None
Island Trading in my opinion is one of the best websites on the Internet. You will find a fantastic selection of products to buy, cosmetics, skincare, haircare etc etc. You can get brands such as MAC, YSL, Chanel, Clinique all at incredibly low prices. If you spend over £20.00 you can choose from a massive selection of items at really really cheap prices. They don't charge you delivery even if the item only cost £1.00. You can get products that you ... ...store or even possibly in this country. They seem to have a new sale every week & new products arrive nearly every day. I've must say that I order something from the site nearly ever week. They respond very quickly to emails if you have a query & they let you know if something is out of stock within a few hours of you placing the order. With the help of this site you will have a make-up bag full of brands to die for. Check it out. you'll be glad ...
