This is for all beautifuls who has a credit card and a huge love for LUSH products.
No one can resist loving freshly handmade cosmetics. If this statement is true then no one can resist LUSH cosmetics.
LUSH carries products all the way from body and hair cleansing, skin care to even organic hair dyes, and they have stores all around Hong Kong. Though we already have so much to choose from, there still are items that we just simply can't get our hands on, especially when they are all sold out!
It truly wasn't my intention to shop online for LUSH because I honestly didn't see the point in it, but since I really have waited long enough for my dry shampoo to get to Hong Kong, I recklessly went onto LUSH's UK online store and order my dry shampoo even if it means I have to pay for shipping. Yet to my surprise, everything was just so cheap compared to the pricing in Hong Kong that I couldn't stop myself from adding more into the shopping cart. After a long browse, I was astonished to see how much I have actually saved up even including all shipping payment. Therefore, I have decided to share this amazing deal along with a few tips and tricks while shopping online for LUSH.
To begin with, LUSH products comes in very good and safe packaging and it arrives on time so they are very trustworthy with their shipping. Also you only get to choose between 2 international shipping prices which solely depends on the weight of your purchase so it is very simple and user friendly.
With all LUSH products, they are given a price per a particular weight, so I did the maths for you and the above numbers are the amount you are paying per gram, all in HKD. Also I got a few that you can't get in Hong Kong so there isn't a comparing price.
In order to make the comparison easier, I have only calculated the total amount I needed to spend on items that you can purchase from both HK and UK while excluding shipping.
UK - $176
HK - $290
As you can see, you can save $114 just with the products alone and even with the shipping for this order, it is only $8 extra. This also means that if you buy more from now, you are saving up all the money you are paying for the rest of the items.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
- There are only two shipping payments for you to choose from, 0-1kg or 1-2kg. Therefore the more you buy within the range, the more you are saving up.
- In order to get more, try to combine shopping orders with your friends so you can share the burden of the shipping payment.
- If you have friends who are in UK and you wish to order to them to save more, try to purchase only 3-4 days before they leave and buy the 'Receive in 2 days' with, I believe, around 5 pounds. This is because LUSH products are freshly made, you won't want them to sit at your friend's until they get back to deliver your purchase.
- To save as much as you can, I would recommend you to choose all products that you MUST buy and then check how much weight you have left to fill and then shop for more to use up all the 1/2kg you have.
I hope this information is beneficial to all of you and until next time,
stay cute!
