It's no secret that I LOVE Beauty products, especially those made by Origins. But what's a frugal (if that's possible, even) Beauty shopper to do when the free shipping offers expire at www.origins.com?? The answer is simple! I hop on over to www.Gloss.com and take advantage of my newest free shipping code (see the end of the review, write it down, and save today!). Fans of high quality department store name brands will be in make-up heaven when shopping at this online site. Just be warned that you may wish to hide your credit card number if you can't control yourself as lots of goodies can be found here! Read on to find out more about this Beauty shoppers paradise.
~~~The Online Site~~~
Many of your favorite high-end department store brands may be found at www.Gloss.com, including Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Clarins, Clinique, Estee Lauder, La Mer, M*A*C, Origins, Prescriptives, and Stilia. The prices are very similar if not the same as what you'd pay at the brick & mortar or online stores themselves, only when using a free shipping code for standard shipping, it's often cheaper to order your favorite Beauty products online here. Sales tax applies only to residents of New York and Kentucky, so it you live elsewhere, you'll enjoy not having to pay this extra cost either. Only it would be wise to just order products you are already familiar with and know you like after checking out any samples at the Beauty counters first. I've ordered many of my favorite Origins products here at www.Gloss.com several times over the past few months and I have no complaints yet.
~~~Online Ordering~~~
Placing an order online at www.Gloss.com is very easy. Just type the name of the product you want to purchase into their search engine, or browse by company name to find what you are looking for. Register with standard information (shipping/billing address, credit card number, etc.), and once your shopping bag is full, you are ready to check out. Several popular methods of payment are accepted, including Discover, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and the American Express Rewards Gift Certificate. Rest assured that entering personal information here is protected and your ordering data will remain private and secure. And for convenient ordering in the future, all of your information is saved so that you don't have to re-enter it all the next time you come back. Many times, you'll receive free samples as an added bonus with your order from www.Gloss.com, so this makes ordering Beauty products here that much more fun!
~~~Shipping Methods, Costs, and Returns~~~
When free shipping codes are unavailable for standard shipping at www.Gloss.com, you'll pay $4.95 to have your order delivered in 5 to 7 business days. If you need your stuff sooner than that, upgrade to second day shipping and pay $9.95 to receive your order in just 2 to 3 business days. And for even quicker delivery, you'll be charged $14.95 to receive your order in just 1 to 2 business days using their special overnight shipping method. Satisfaction is guaranteed when ordering from this online website, so returns are accepted and a refund or an exchange will be given. So far I've loved everything I've purchased at www.Gloss.com, so I can only assume their customer service is just as good as their products are.
~~~My Experience~~~
As stated above, I've ordered many Origins products from www.Gloss.com over the past few months in several different shipments. So far, all of them have arrived within the delivery time frame as promised, and all of my items made it to my door in excellent condition. I even ordered a bottle of Clinique Happy fragrance right after Christmas, and not a drop was spilled in the shipping process. This past Saturday was my mother's birthday, so the weekend before, I placed an online order for Origins A Perfect World for Eyes here at Gloss.com and had it sent to her as a special gift from me. Not only did it arrive much sooner than I anticipated (she got her package on Wednesday), but it also came beautifully gift wrapped, according to Mom, with a personalized card included just for her. And I only had to pay $3.75 extra for this gift wrapping service. Since I saved money by receiving free shipping and paying no sales tax, I decided splurging on the gift wrapping service for Mom was an extra special treat she deserved. I was initially afraid doing so might delay the shipping process, but she got her birthday present only 3 business days after my order was completed. So even though I ordered just a week in advance here at www.Gloss.com, I still did so in plenty of time.
~~~Overall Recommendation~~~
Order your favorite high-end department store Beauty products at www.Gloss.com with a free shipping code and save on sales tax as well if you are not a resident of New York or Kentucky. When life gets busy and you just can't make it to the department store, shopping here at this online site is your second best bet when finding what you are looking for. Everything I've ever ordered has been in stock and it arrives in a timely fashion right to my door with little effort on my part. And I've even saved a few bucks along the way as well even though some of the Beauty products found here are admittedly very expensive and are way beyond what my Beauty budget allows. So while I'd not suggest trying new products at www.Gloss.com, I'd certainly highly recommend this online site when you are running low on your favorite make-up and skin care items. Check it out today! Happy online shopping :-)
***Gloss.com offers free standard shipping on orders of $100 or more (excluding tax and gift wrap). But write this special code down as it's good for free shipping on any order through December 31, 2003: GLS57 (case sensitive).
