beauty and cosmetics, womens perfume

A few days ago one of my best friends was in town and she stopped in for coffee and to catch up. I haven't seen her in several months, so it was great to actually have some time to catch up face to face as opposed to our regular telephone and email contact.

While she was here we somehow got on the discussion of beauty and cosmetics. We were talking about the fact that it had been 25 years this year since we both graduated high school and how so much has changed with beauty and cosmetics since the time we were in high school. From there the conversation shifted to how we used to go to the mall every weekend and check out all the new womens perfume, plus we would let the lady at the beauty and cosmetics counter give us a free makeover. We would spend a small fortune on some of the beauty and cosmetics that she used and we never blinked or batted an eye.


In this day and age, there is another way to get perfume and other beauty products. In fact, more often than not, beauty and cosmetics are even significantly cheaper than they are at the mall. My friend and I both have been shopping for things like womens perfume and makeup online for years now. In fact, while she was visiting we decided to order a bottle of Amarige by Givenchy Women Body Veil 6.7 oz that I found at Best Gals Shop whose online store can be found by visiting www.bestgalsshop.com for ourselves. We couldn't help but laugh about how back in the day we would go buy the same bottle of perfume at the mall, and now we could sit in the comfort of my living room and order womens perfume from a website for a fraction of the price.

She and I also talked about how high the markup on the things like beauty and cosmetics and womens perfume must be in department stores and at the mall, otherwise there was no way the Internet stores would be able to offer them for such a great price and still make money. When you think about it, it's just ridiculous. As much as my friend and I love shopping online and saving money by doing so, we actually have friends who are dead set against buying anything online, even if it means saving money. Personally, I think that's just crazy, but it's her choice. I'll continue to save and laugh all the way to the bank.
