When placing online orders, one important thing to always keep in mind is to search for discount codes. Most sites have them floating around somewhere and a quick search on Google will call them up and easily save you 10% off your total order.
1. All Cosmetics Wholesale
Key Brands: MAC, Urban Decay, Kryolan, Bobbi brown, OCC, Stila, Too Faced, Smashbox, YSL, Maybelline, L’Oreal, etc.
Shipping: So-so to expensive shipping, arrives within 2-3 weeks
Comments: One of the best discount sites to visit for MAC, which even has older collections that are no longer available. A lot of the collections available are USA exclusive, which is great for Aussies. One annoying aspect is you will only find out that items are out of stock once you’ve added to cart.
2. Beauty Choice
Key Brands: BH Cosmetics, GHD, CHI, Bumble and Bumble, etc.
Shipping: Reasonable shipping, takes about 3-4 weeks to arrive
Comments: Keep in mind that when you purchase electrical goods from America you will need an adaptor.
3. Brigette’s Boutique
Key Brands: Huge range, almost every department brand
Shipping: So-so shipping, takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
Comments: While the brand range is amazing, the product range doesn’t always match up. Beware of the quality of the products, though because you might get too disappointed too often.
4. Cherry Culture
Key Brands: NYX, Beauty Blender, Eyeko, Milani, MOR Cosmetics, etc.
Shipping: So-so shipping costs, takes about 2 weeks to arrive
Comments: Your go-to shop for all things NYX related. They have a points’ collection system, which gives you discounts off future purchases.
5. Crush Cosmetics
Key Brands: Sleek, e.l.f, Barry M, NYX, Wet n Wild, Coastal Scents, Eyeko, China Glaze, Z Palette, Brush Guard, Seche Vite, etc.
Shipping: Reasonable, free when orders are $60AU or over. Fast shipping, arrives within a few days
Comments: Their prices tend to be higher than most overseas sites though it is an Australian based company, based out in Sydney. The plus side to them being an Aussie company means contacting them for help is easy (no time zone issues), plus, website is very easy to use.
6. Kiss and Makeup NY
Key Brands: NARS, Laura Mercier, Frederic Fekkai, Smashbox, etc.
Shipping: $9.95US flat rate, takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
Comments: Your go-to site for anything NARS or Laura Mercier related; they virtually stock the entire product range and charge the same prices being charged in America. Unfortunately sometimes the system allows you to purchase a product that isn’t currently in stock or is no longer available.
7. Nail etc.
Key Brands: OPI, Zoya, Essie, China Glaze, Colour Club, ORLY, Shellac, etc.
Shipping: So-so shipping, takes about 1-2 weeks to arrive

8. Rock The Catwalk
Key Brands: MAC, NYX, Urban Decay, NARS, etc.
Shipping: Reasonable shipping, can take up to 1 month to arrive
Comments: If you are looking for a particular MAC product, you’ll find it here. Their product range is quite more expensive than other sites, though.
9. Sasa
Key Brands: Large mixture of Asian and Western brands
Shipping: Good or free if your order total is $75US or over, takes a few weeks to arrive

Comments: Plenty of Stila and Too Faced cosmetics.
11. StrawberryNET
Key Brands: Huge range, almost every department brand from makeup, skincare, perfume and hair care
Shipping: Free
Comments: They give additional discounts as you increase your purchases. If you check the dates of the products, though, they tend to be made 2-3 years ago. Generally speaking, it should be fine since they are unopened, but still it is worth mentioning.
12. Trans Design
Key Brands: OPI, China Glaze, Color Club, Essie, ORLY, etc.
Shipping: Expensive shipping, takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
Comments: They offer a large range of various tools and salon -related products for sale. This is a great way to purchase collections cheaper and before they hit Aussie shores.
13. YesStyle
Key Brands: Clothes, Asian cosmetic brands
Shipping: Reasonable or free if order total is $150AU or over
Comments: The prices are okay but do not reflect the prices charged in Asia itself but the quality of the products is top notch.
