The Sad Truth About Duty Free Fragrance and Beauty Shopping

Posted in Beauty, Cologne, Cosmetics, International Shopping, Makeup, Perfume, Shopping Tips, Skincare, Travel at 3:26 am by Deb Savvy

468X60 large banner

With all the traveling I’ve been doing, I’ve passed a fair number of hours in airport duty free shops. There was a time when a few hours at Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle meant a chance for some serious shopping, but not these days. With the EURO well above $1.50 it’s no surprise that there are no bargains to be found. But, to be honest, I was shocked at how high the prices actually were. I found one of my favorite fragrances, Terre d’Hermes, at several different duty free shops for anywhere from 57 to 66 Euro (the equivalent of about $85 to $105). While this price is certainly a bit less than the full retail price of $125, it’s far more than I’d ever pay online.

Perfume Country - Designer Fragranc at 50% Off

The same was true for just about every fragrance I shopped and most skincare and beauty products, too.

And when it came to cosmetics, the results were even worse. Some Chanel lipsticks were actually MORE expensive in at the Paris duty free than they are full price at any high end department store in the states.

Free 2nd Day Shipping

I checked prices for nearly every product I purchase regularly (and for which I know the prices well). From lipstick to eye cream to perfume, I knew that I could save at least 20% and sometimes as much as 50% shopping online as opposed to duty free. In a way, it’s a shame. I always loved spending my last few hours in Paris shopping away. And they have such nice shops in the airport now. Oh well. Until the dollar strengthens against the Euro, I’m sorry to report that duty free bargain shopping for perfume and cosmetics has pretty much bitten the dust.

That this is PRIME bargain hunting season when it comes to designer fragrances, cosmetics, skincare and haircare products. 

Father's Day 180x150 

It’s a whole new year and this is when most high end manufacturers unleash new collections, new colors, new packaging.   What’s left isn’t going to ever go on sale at a department store.  Neither will the unsold giftsets or items with special holiday packaging.    The ‘old’ merchandise gets returned to the distributers – and loads of it is readily available online.  Especially in January.  Now’s the time to shop. 

FragranceNet.com 

It’s also time to double check on the availability of your favorite lipstick or foundation.  Unfortunately this is the time of year that colors tend to be discontinued and the sooner you find out the unfortunate news – the better your odds of being able to stock up before it’s too late.

I Lost My Lashes

Posted in Beauty, Cosmetics, Free Stuff, Personal Care at 4:56 am by Deb Savvy

It’s really strange (or maybe it isn’t) but ever since I entered my middle thirty-teens, I’m starting to notice some ‘differences’.  My skin takes a lot more work than it used too.  Okay – that’s an understatement, too.  The truth is that even with more zealous care, my skin just doesn’t look quite the same.  And my eyes….  I had gotten used to the circles and crows feet but lately I’ve noticed that no matter how much mascara I use, my lashes just aren’t quite the same.  At first I thought I was crazy.  Then I thought it was just me and that my thinning lashes were a perverse variation on male pattern baldness.   And now I’m just searching for a solution.  Easier said than done.  I’ve done some searching and I’m going to try LiLash.

 

They promise longer and fuller eyelashes and back up their patented eyelash stimulator with a money back guarantee so I’ve got nothing to lose.  And get this – they’re even throwing in a free gift - maybe it will turn out to be the secret to finding true love.  Free Book with every order of LiLash! Receive “Make Every Man Want You!” a $16.99 value. Free. Offer ends 1/31/08.
