Some excellent photos of Sandra, blogger responsible for 5 inch and up, and some beautiful shots of what we can find in-store. Looking forward to bagging some bargains in the new Forever 21 flagship on Oxford Street!

Cheap smells

Word of mouth endorsement is such a powerful marketing tool. My friend Jo mentioned the Cheap Smells web site to a group of us last night over supper. We were talking about the best products to take on a long haul flight... then we ended up talking about great places to buy branded lotions and potions at discounted rates. Just like play.com, but sells beauty products instead of cheap DVDs, Cheap Smells is located in the Channel Islands so it receives certain tax breaks which it passes onto us, the consumer, how kind.
They predominantly push the perfume, fragrance, and aftershave products, stocking some top end brands such as Chloe, Gucci, Calvin Klein, YSL, Vera Wang, mid-range brands such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Tommy Hilfiger, to the very affordable: Kylie, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears...etc.
However, I found their skincare section slightly more exciting. They offer a long list of Clarins products, including some impressive gifts and sets as well as the ever-useful Eight Hour Cream by Elizabeth Arden.
Postage is included in all of their prices, and it's still cheaper than buying from high street department stores.
