OMG!!! This is crazy!
Ok kids this is how my day started; after updating my long forgotten blog this morning, I decided to give myself a treat so I browsed through head2toe’s website to purchase some nail polishes for myself. I wanted to get ORLY Tis is The Season Collection. Little did I know that the price had increased to two folds!
OMG! It’s now USD 6 instead of 3! Damn that’s like double the amount I usually pay! And being an International buyer, this doesn’t help at all! I mean usually after purchasing about 20 bottles, the shipping cost itself could easily come up to USD 30 and so (USPS), so after converting to Malaysian Ringgit and such, it is priced between Rm 20-Rm25 per bottle. However now its going to be about Rm50 each! No way I’m gonna pay that amount for ORLY! I might as well add another RM 20 and get a Chanel polish instead. This is madness!
This is a bad year for nail polish fanatic like me. Seriously! First Essie’s price goes up to USD 8 from USD 4, and then transdesign doesn’t ship to Malaysia using USPS anymore, then ESSIE is not shipped internationally, and now ORLY’s price went up. I’m not sure how long it gonna take before the same happens to China Glaze and Misa. Prices are hiking up like crazy. From earlier this year:
OPI has increased by USD 1.19, CG: 0.65, Essie: USD 4, and now Orly 2.10. ARGH! And what happens to international buyers like us who these few dollars increment might mean an increase of hundreds of dollars (since we have got to buy lots). Oh man! This is a bad news. I hope someone could stop this..
Thanks for listening girls..
You could try 8ty8beauty. Shipping is 1-9 bottles for USD18, if it's more bottles than that then shipping will change. The prices of the polish there are slightly cheaper than transdesign, except Color Club. But China Glaze is almost 50 cents cheaper there than at transdesign. I'm not sure about the price comparison to head2toe though.
ReplyDeleteI hate how expensive OPI, China Glaze, Orly etc. are outside of the United States!! It's so unfair :(
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl. Well i did buy frm them before but i had bad experience before with them hence the reason im not purchasing frm them anymore:-( Probably shd try again.
ReplyDeleteHi Newyorklady. I know!! its so so unfair! I wish we could get branded polish at cheap price here too!
ReplyDelete*cries* T.T
ReplyDeletei know Donna:-( its sad:-(
ReplyDeleteI'm also surprised by the prices for polishes. You would think they are selling us liquid gold instead of nail polish! Crazy!
