So, since moving from the UK to Monaco over a year ago now I have become somewhat of an online shopping professional!
Working in and around a busy city of London, I was constantly surrounded by places to purchase lots of different beauty items including products for my professional kit and I had also staff discounts to take full advantage of and purchase many make up, haircare and skincare products.
I had lots of local stores and beauty warehouses that I frequently visited that I had found to love shopping at over the past years.
When I moved from the UK I was in for a shock! Where were all the beauty stores in Monaco?!! This beautiful place but with no shops for me to purchase all my cosmetic must haves that I may die without.... ahhhhhh!..........The horror!!!!!
Well apart from Sephora, which I adore that was it really?! (very similar to Space NK where I managed a store) There is also all the lovely French pharmacies that sell a wide range of skincare, make up and hair-care and very loyal to the french brands, so finding anything other than a french brand is a tad difficult.
So I decided to go online and find out what other options there were! Finding websites that would not only stock all the relevant products but that would also ship to Monaco for a relatively reasonable cost!
(Other than that it was a case of asking very nicely friends and family to send me SOS beauty parcels!)
I thought I should share with you some fantastic websites I have found and absolutely love........
