Beauty and online shopping – Tips to avoid disappointment

The coronavirus lockdown period left behind a series of habits that became… cults. One of them is the purchase of beauty and skincare products online, which is still preferred today, both due to modern lifestyles that leave little free time, and due to the tempting prices offered by online stores.

In the case of beauty products, we have all made our mistakes, even when shopping in stores, where with our… physical presence we failed at the color of the make-up we bought, or the new much-advertised perfume, which we did NOT try except on a piece of paper, and other such things that filled a vanity case with abandoned products. So even experts make mistakes or get carried away by the adorable but subtly pushy marketing that department store saleswomen do.

So, in our online shopping, we have a thousand and two more reasons to pay attention to details and "go" shopping with full knowledge. So what do we do when we open the computer and have our credit card ready on the side of the desk:

  1. In face makeup, we choose the safe method. That is, tried and tested products and shades that we have always used and that suit us. We do not experiment without testing, we do not compare the real thing with the product from the color chart.
  2. In hair care, if we want something new, we carefully read the product features and always look for something that suits our skin type, our needs and the needs of our wallet. No, our friend told us about a hair mask with a perfect scent or a color shampoo that promises to make you a Goddess, etc.), These are sure to disappoint you if you haven't already tried them.
  3. We trust the website we know or that corresponds to a branded store.
  4. We do not buy unapproved products because someone told us something. Be careful, there are many dangerous products on the market for our health.
  5. We don't trust excessively large price discounts. They are scams that will mathematically eat your money.

Finally, make sure that the product can be returned, since of course you have not opened the packaging.
