Ahh how could I not round up some of my favorite places to shop from online! Found so many good places this year. Books, Makeup, Accessories, Appliance….all needs were catered too. Listing out some of the sites that I like along with the categories I use them for. 

1. Cosmetic Love – I get all my Korean/Asian brands from this site. Love it! I have shopped a couple of times from them and always turn to them for such stuff. Jolse is another site which is up and coming but Im yet to shop from it. You can compare both these sites to find the mix of products that you want from a brand/collection also to find competitive rates. 

2. StrawberryNet – Dolon got me hooked to this one! I did know about it before and had shopped from them but keeping an eye out for they daily specials deals became a fixation. I found a lot of great stuff off it at wonderful prices. They carry a huge range of International brands and definitely worth looking into. 

3. Ebay – I did not believe in buying from ebay and still don’t really do. But when you cant find something ANY where this is the place that you need to turn too. From that nail paint that you have been coveting to that new product launch that you cant locate anywhere. This is slowly gaining favor with me 🙂

4. Feel Unique – So many brands plus the best part – Free International Shipping! Better words have not been spoken. You can get your fix here ie cake and eat it too. I like to buy kits from them so that I can try out a number of products from the same brand at reasonable price. Do check them out

5. Born Pretty – If you are a nail art fanatic then you must check them out. They have a mind boggling collection of stuff. And that is just a small part of what they offer. There are so many categories to explore with them .

6. Lime Crime – I love the fact that this is one of the few branded sites that actually offers shipping to our country. Not only that the rates are quite reasonable and the shipping time is quite fast. I got my package within 8 days. Love em just for the fact that they ship out here alone 😀

1. Nykaa – This is fast gaining popularity among everyone especially for their beauty needs. They have a huge collection of brands and stock up on the new launches pretty fast. A good site to purchase from.

2. Infibeam/Book Adda – I use both these sites mainly for my book fetish. What I like to do is compare the book that I’m looking for on them and then choose the site offering it for less. My go to sites and most frequently used.

3. Flipkart – Again I use this for books but not as much as the other two mentioned above. I have used them to buy a slightly high priced appliance for my mom and also for some beauty brands like Joy which is mainly stocked by them. They just keep adding in different categories and are always a pleasure to browse through.

4. Healthkart – One of the very few and very good Indian sites catering to this genre. You will find whatever you are looking for with them. I have ordered medical devices, protein supplements, other supplements, health food etc. from them and on a regular basis. Wonderful place!

5. Fab Alley/ Pipa & Bella/ Miss Flurty – Some of the places from where you can pick up great jewelry. Gorgeous statement necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings to suit your mood.

6. Lime Road – I like this place coz I got some good plus sized clothes from here. Normally I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes online and I took a chance with this one. It paid off and I found myself some real nice pieces.

1. Glamabox – I love these people! It is such a pleasure to open one each month. Best way to discover some Asian brands. Based in Hong Kong they are one of the few people who ship to our country. I have found some really good products through them 🙂

2. My Envy Box – The only Indian beauty box that I’m liking. They are the newest entrants to the market and have been giving a very nice mix of luxury brands. It is finally good to get some good stuff from an Indian box. I look forward to them each month.

3. Fab Alley Jewelry Box – I love this idea! You can get 3 pieces of jewelry each month according to your style profile. And you need to dish out Rs. 1000/- for a box worth Rs. 2000/-. They send some really quality stuff. Best is you can choose a box in the end according to your taste and preference if you do not like the box picked according to your style quiz. Though the element of surprise is taken away but at least you know and can choose what you are getting for the price you are paying.

     That was my roundup for the year. I hope to discover new and amazing places to shop in this new year and share it with you guys. Especially looking forward on getting my hand on some more beauty boxes as I love these little bundles of joy. So which have been your favorite places to shop from this year?
