Online shopping has really taken over the beauty and fashion industry as of late, with flash sales and to-die-for deals. It can be oh so tempting to buy that specialty shampoo that was a little too expensive at the salon or get the latest perfume from that up and coming designer. But sometimes making your way to your closest beauty store is your best bet in finding the product that will work best – even if you can get a better deal online. From counterfeit products to wrong tones for your skin type, sometimes getting your butt out of the computer chair and seeing the products for yourself will serve you better in the long run.
This is so silly! Most reputable online retailers (Sephora and Nordstrom) offer free, no hassle returns. And some salon brands of hair products, like Kerastase, have their own online shops. Kerastase has great samples that you can pick at checkout. So not only do most retailers also offer free shipping, but they’ll also send you a few freebies as all.
