The economy sucks. Blows. Is in the proverbial toilet. Is not my friend. However, rather than invite a political rant into my comments section, I have decided to go with the flow, embrace the present, and look for an inexpensive way to support my shopping habit. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the World's Sexiest Wholesaler!!!
(Seriously. That's what they call themselves. I wish I were making that up.)
I googled "lipgloss refills", and somehow ended up here. Not that I'm complaining. The site's a hoot. Yes, there are tons of makeup brands to choose from, ranging from LipSmackers and NYC on up to MAC and Estee Lauder, but there are also some seriously upscale clothes and accessories. Like Betsey Johnson? BCBG? Michael Kors? Juicy Couture? Nautica? Nordstrom? Calvin Klein? DKNY? Mudd? They're there, and they've brought along a lot of friends. I don't mean that there are one or two items from each brand, either. There are one thousand (1,000) items from Victoria's Secret alone. Oh, and the prices border on theft. Fifty percent off retail seems about standard.
Another cool thing about the site is that most of the items are things that aren't available in stores anymore? Miss out on that cute PINK bag? Short on cash when the MAC Disney Villains Collection debuted? Well, you just might be able to find what you're looking for here.
The site isn't fancy. Don't expect to find sizing charts, clear descriptions, or even high quality photography. This is the online equivalent of the salvage mart, but it's a fun way to kill an hour or so, and your wallet won't be too much lighter for the experience.
Another, slicker site is BeautyTicket.com. There's not as much of a variety to choose from (don't expect shoes and purses), but site is easier to navigate, and there are some how-to videos that accompany pre-packaged sets, which is nice. Here again, there are great brands (Smashbox, anyone?) at super steep discounts. You can also sign up for email alerts about sales, new arrivals, and exclusives.
Happy shopping! If you find anything cool, let us all know in the comments section.
as fun as these site are, i still prefer the salvage store in the flesh, so to speak. i mean, where else can you find, say, a wedding dress for sale, slightly used and only a LITTLE damaged by fire (actually seen in a salvage mart in newport news once)?
