Strawberrynet.com - My Present favourite website!

Hi all!
Long time no Blog!
So how have all of you being keeping these days? Having fun I suppose!
Myself on my part, I have just returned from a trip to hell! :) I mean my exams are finally over! It sure feels like hell to tell you the truth! Exam hell! God how I wish I didnt have to write any exams!*Sigh*

Anyways, now that my trip to exam hell is finally over, I decided to do a lot of travelling and visit lots of places! I did do a lot of it! In the online world that is! :) I did lots of net surfing and paid a visit to lots of new websites and in the process came across a website called strawberrynet.com. I had heard of this website before but never went there and so decided to pay it a visit.
Strawberrynet is a Hong Kong Based company which sells world famous cosmetic brands through their website Strawberrynet.com Name any famous cosmetic brand and you are sure to find them here! I had lots of fun going through their website and checking out the products on sale there! I must admit I spend a sufficient amount of time searching the net for online stores which sell leading brands at discounted prices or have any special offers and to my pleasant surprise this website had lots of them!

As it was my first visit to the site I decided to do some research on the net and found out that they are very famous all over the world and have online stores in almost every major country in the world including UK and India! Most of their online stores seem to have a local language version of it and to my pleasant surprise they had a Hindi version of their Indian online store! Now I found that to be cool to tell you the truth! Most of the Indian cosmetic websites I've been to usually had only an English version instead of a localised one! There are lots of people out there who prefer websites in their local language as its easier for them to understand and I am sure many Hindi speaking Indians who love to purchase cosmetics through online stores will find this a welcome feature!

The interface of the website is very user friendly! Their home page has links to all of their online stores in different countries! Just choose the link to your country using the pull down menu in the site and you will be directed there in a jiffy! I decided to check out their UK and Indian sites! The design structure of the site seems to be same in all of their online stores but the content or any special offers might differ according to the country! I on my part spent more time on their Indian site than the UK and checked out their Hindi site as well! It was fun surfing their site in Hindi for a change!

Among many things in this website I found the following to be of interest:-
Apart from leading make up products they sell skin and hair care products, perfumes and fragnances for men and women!
They offer free shipping to any where in the world! Now thats cool!
You can buy their products using your country's currency! For example if you are in India you can pay using rupees!
Most of the cosmetic brands I checked seemed to be priced a bit lesser or in some cases slightly more as compared to other websites [cant guarantee this though!]
They have lots of special offers going on most of the time! Right now they have lots of offers for Christmas!
They are well rated by rating websites such as Bizrate for excellent customer service!
I am sure most of you buy lots of cosmetic products online and have bookmarked lots of sites and I suggest you add this one as well! It will be worth doing so!
I am sure most of you buying products online must have heard of lots of phoney or fly by the night websites which sell fake versions of leading cosmetic brands and vanish away with your hard earned money! Strawberrynet.com is a reputed reliable company offering a safe and secure way to buy original cosmetic products at affordable prices and this is reason why its one of my favourite websites at the moment!

Check Out the Strawberrynet Website HERE!

Well thats it for now! I will take leave now! Expect to see more posts and a special giveaway in the coming days so do come back soon!
Bye then my darlings!
Ciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo!

FYI: I did not get paid to review this, this is my personal opinion

FOTD: Quick Evening Look

This look is quite easy to achieve and suitable for the evening outs when you are in a hurry and don't have much time on your hands but still want to look glamorous. I have skipped the blusher, highlighter and lipstick for this look. This is why I called it a Quick Evening Look [QEL]. I have played down the eyes and used a bold colour lipgloss to add colour to my lips. You could do it vice versa but i find this way to be rather quicker to achieve as you wont need a lot of blending and all as you normally do while playing up the eyes hence, I have given the emphasis on lips for this perticular look.

Products Used:

Face: Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Primer for eyes: Urban Decay Primer Portion
Eyes: Sleek Sunset i-divine eyeshadow palette
Cheeks: None
Eyeliner: Rimmel Glam'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner
Eyeliner for lower lash line: Opia Pencil Liner- Black
Eyebrow: Urban Decay Brow Box: Brown Sugar
Mascara: No 7 Extravagant Lashes
Lipstick: None
Lipgloss: Elite Shine Gloss
Face Powder: The Body Shop Loose Face Powder
Highlighter: None
False Eyelashes: None
Finishing Spray: None

I hope you found my post on 'Quick Evening Look' useful :)
