Beauty Joint Haul/Review!
Hey Beauties,
About 2 weeks ago, I placed my first online makeup order. I decided to use Beauty Joint as I had heard some positive things about them and I must say I was very pleased with my experience there and that I will be a returning customer. Before I go into the review of the company, here's what I bought!
BH Cosmetics; BH Party Girl 40 Color Eyeshadow Palette -
Not going into much detail about this product as a review is coming up shortly. But this is my first BH Palette. I've wanted one for ages, and I was contemplating buying one off their official site, but when I looked on Beauty Joint, it turned out to be cheaper. I believe it was on sale for $13.40 or somewhere around that price. I deleted my email and I don't know the details to mums paypal so I can't quite find out!
But Beauty Joint has only just begun to start stocking BH Cosmetics Palettes, the whole range is not available, but there is a good variety to choose from. I also noticed the other day when I was looking that they are now also selling The Balm too. Which in my opinion, should be on Beauty Bay (Beauty Joint's affiliate site that sells more high end brands) because The Balm is not cheap. Its over $25. And I don't buy makeup for that cheap. Well, rarely anyway.
Jordana; Best Lash Extreme Mascara -
I bought this after Lauren Curtis raving about how great this is. And it was rather cheap too. I think under $4? And this mascara is one of my new favourites. Not saying why, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out why!
Overall
Postage at Beauty Joint is calculated by weight of the items you buy. My postage came to around the same price as the palette, and together it was like $31.06 or something. Which I thought was good, because I knew I would like the palette and I would pay close to $20 for a good palette and I just thought it was decent.
Also, when it comes to shipping you can choose the type. Standard USP, Express USP, and theres another one too which I can't remember (USP = United States Postal Service) Then, you have the option of paying for insurance on your package, just incase it gets lost. I took up on this offer (It was only $1.25 but I think it increases in weight?) because I have had experiences in the past with another company (Not naming who) when I won an eyeshadow, and never got it at all. This was because of postal screw up. And also, us Australian's know how lousy and pathetic Australia Post is, so I just got insurance incase it got lost or something. And it wasn't a crazy amount extra I had to pay, $1.25 is nothing.
The length of time to get to my house was faster than expected. I was thinking about a month for it to get to me, but it actually took 9 working days. How great is that! The parcel was also shipped the next day that I bought it too.
I definatly do recommend purchasing from Beauty Joint, and with this pleasant experience I will be a returning customer.
Have you bought anything from Beauty Joint or any other online store before? Tell me what you think?
I'm considering buying some Real Techniques brushes from iHerb next.
Keep Smiling,

I placed an order a couple of days ago to Beauty Joint, so I'm glad to see you had a good experience! I thought their prices were good and shipping was reasonable :) Definitely give iHerb a go, they have such fast postage to Australia (in my experience!), and again their prices are really great.

I love Beauty Joint, it's one of my favourites. I didn't know Beauty Joint and Beauty Bay were affiliated? Where did you find that out? :)
