The Online Beauty World

This year I have gotten more into shopping for beauty products online. When I say "shopping" this often refers to filling up my shopping cart until I get to the free shipping level of all the things I want and then proceeding to checking... when I get there, I see the total is usually well beyond the point at which I can get free shipping, and then I decide I don't need the stuff and really shouldn't buy it even though I really want it, and force myself to close the internet. This happens several times. Today an exciting thing happened. I actually went through my order because I have been thinking about how I want the Always perfume by Avon that has been in all of the magazines lately. It's been described as having notes of "dewy yellow tulip, kiwi and starfruit" which sounds very exciting, plus when you buy it online now you get small bottles of the other fragrances in the collection, "tomorrow" and "today"........... So I am quite excited for that order to arrive and I will let you know how it is. Oh my gosh though I am having the biggest pet peeve. It's a repeat of something I have talked about before but it's when magazines talk about products and you can't find them in the store or anywhere. Like the newest issue of allure talks about this fragrance by Mark called Instant Vacation that intruiges me, but I don't believe it's even out yet. So irritating. I know this has happened with something else lately. Whatever. Another site I just discovered was yvesrocherusa.com. I have ordered from there once. I was satisfied with a lot of the products, a couple weren't too good though, the honeysuckle shower gel smelled like garden weeds (I would just saw weeds but I don't want people to think I am talking about marijuana although that would be weed not weeds in the plural.) But I got the best perfume from there, on sale for only 4.95, it's Yves Rocher eau de toilette in in Pur Desir De Lilas (that's lilac for all those that don't speak french). It's some good stuff, great price. Usually it's still pretty cheap- 17.50-- and wow it smells good! It's very much a lilac smell.... just like the flowers my parents have in their yard. Brings back memories man. My boyfriend's favorite smell is lilac so I bought it for him but I discovered I like it very much myself. I would give it a 3.8 out of 4.0. GREAT PRICE, nice scent.
