The Cheap Girl

I found a website that sells perfume, skin care and make up at discounted prices. Think Sephora but at a lower price point. StrawberryNET carries everything that department stores have. As in EVERYTHING but cheaper. They also have a loyalty program, online deals and additional discounts depending on the number of items that you want to purchase. On top of that, they offer free shipping anywhere in the world (some exclusions apply for fragrance).

There’s taxes that you have to pay at the border but when you take advantage of the discounted price (+additional online deals) and free shipping it is probably cheaper to buy it online. It’s a good idea to do a price comparison before making a purchase.

Here are some deals that I found (Prices in CAD $):

Benefit 10 Palette Bronzer $30.50 SALE $18.00

Lancome Precious Lights Makeup Palette $63 SALE $35

Yves Saint Laurent Palette D’Artiste for the eyes &67 SALE $33.50

Online shopping is so convenient. I can’t wait until all my favourite stores go online. I love the fact that everything is accessible with just a few clicks and things just show up at your door. Before I make a purchase online, I usually check to see if there are any discount codes available.  I love shopping online because items are usually priced lower than store-front locations. And if they’re not, they’re cheaper somewhere else. When it comes to shopping online I find that clothes are hardest thing to shop for because of sizing. I usually try things on at the store (if possible) and then I would check online to see if it can be purchased at a lower price point. One thing that I love doing is shopping for accessories. Shoes, bags, scarves, jewelry…you name it!

There are many sites out there offering discount codes but I like savings.com because of the variety. This site carries free online coupons from many brands and stores.  I think that this site carries mostly American brands but a lot of places ship to Canada and internationally. I usually visit the fashion section and beauty section for discounts. I wish that more places shipped to Canada. I have family and friends in the States so I usually send my purchases to them whenever the store that I shop from only ships in the States. Also the additional discount helps especially if you have to pay for the shipping cost. I cannot wait until companies start offering more free shipping offers.

La Senza Canada Lingerie Deals:

Sexy bras – 2 for $39.50

Flirty Panties – 5 for $25

I really like the gingham set featured in the ad below. Plus I like that the panty comes in a boy short style. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the Pin Up collection. The gingham print is the most interesting thing that was offered. I think that with a pin up theme, they could have played up the vintage aspect and came up with more fun styles.

Good lingerie is something that every woman must own. There is no need to have a drawer full of super expensive items but it is nice to have at least one piece from a luxury brand that you love.  The same concept can be applied to bags and shoes as well.  It is even better when there is a discount or sale on designer items.
