BEWARE: Expired beauty products sold online

HI,

A lot of online websites sell international cosmetic products at discounted prices.  I am a self confessed shopaholic and I keep surfing these websites and buy a lot of online goodies. Sometimes I do feel the efficacy of these products is not good and they do not bring out the desired effect. It may be mostly due to the dumping ground effect. It’s not that these products come free we do pay a substantial amount.  For eg: 2 months back I brought olay white radiance intensive serum from an Indian online website. I have been using it sincerely for 2 months and haven’t noticed any difference in my skin. I will review it separately later.

Today, I wanted to alert everybody about these exclusive skin products that are sold on online websites.

Recently, there was a promotional offer on fashionandyou on branded cosmetics like Clinique, Elizabeth Arden etc.  I usually never buy I brought a Clinique moisture surge combi pack worth Rs: 3499. The contents of which are the moisture surge spray, extended thirst relief and the refreshing eye gel.

I received the product yesterday and I checked it against the website: http://checkcosmetic.net

The product was manufactured in Sept 2008 with an expiry date of 36 months ie Sept 2011. This means I have received an expired product.

I am very furious and wanted to inform all you readers.  I am going to return the product to the company and ensure that I get my money back.

I would request all to please be aware of such promotional offers.

HI All,

To start, I am a writer from Mumbai. A person from paramedical background. I have been working for 8 years now.

My first love is dancing and reading. Some years back, I had this urge to learn DIY beauty and makeup tips. Of late, I have been reading a lot about beauty products and it is interesting because the more you learn the more you get intrigued.

This blog is about my beauty and home tips. Please remember I am not advertising or advocating any product. This is just my viewpoint and I am not being paid money for the products listed here.

I have been a fashion enthusiast since a few years now. I am on the heavier side and I always have problems finding clothes that fit me correctly and to add to that I have very very broad and long feet (Runs in our gene pool) so shoes are a problem too.

I love Jewelry and accessories. I will also, in this blog, showcase my clothes and accessories. I may be on the heavier side but that doesn't stop me from experimenting. Beauty is a mindset and I feel beautiful from inside and that's what matters the most.

Being in India and being on the heavier side, can cause many heads turn (of course not in the good sense). People tend to mock you and at some level you learn to live with it.

People think that if you are on the heavier side you should stick to a certain type of clothing only, however I beg to differ. I wear almost everything and I feel its how you carry yourself that counts.

Anyways, this is just a beginning as I said. I hope you like reading and please send in your comments/feedback.

Happy Reading,
Dee.
