What is your take in buying branded skin care or cosmetic products? Ever wonder where you can buy such products online which may be of a cheaper price and it is also reliable?

If you have been searching for one, this online shopping site which I will be sharing with you will get you excited. They sell products from brand names such as SK2, Biotherm, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Shu Uemura and many more.

They offer free delivery if you order more than SGD$50 and also provide payment via cash on delivery. Isn’t that great? You need not worryabout them running away after you have made your payment

Design Template

BestBuy World online shopping site’s template looks professional. There were use of navigation tabs, categories, pictures and advertisement to keep you interested to further browse the pages.

In their Shipping and Returns page, it also states clearly on when delivery is made, and their return and exchange policy.

Should you have any queries, you can check out their FAQs. I felt that a number of questions have been covered and it have been very useful for me. Especially on the authenticity of the product.

Here’s an example of the FAQ (taken directly from their site)

“Q: How can you convince me that your product is new and genuine?

A: Batch code can be found printed on all cosmetic and skincare products. It identifies and indicates the manufactured date of the product. If you wish to clarify the manufactured date of the product, please do not hesitate to contact us or visit any of the cosmetics counter available at department stores. Expiry date of product is usually three (3) years from the manufactured date.“

Focus and Content of the Online Shopping Site

As what they have called themselves, Best Buy World Singapore. I must give them credit for the extensive variety of brand names that they are offering.

They offer mainly beauty products, with few other range of bags and accessories.

Here’s some of the products that they are offering:

Price Comparison

I did a search online for this particular product – SK2 Facial Treatment Repair (30ml).

*Click on the picture to enlarge

This is the result:
BestBuy World is selling it at SGD$97.50 and if you were to take a plane flight with Singapore Airlines and purchase this same product in their in flight KrisShop, it will cost you SGD$121.00. Wow! A price difference of SGD$23.50.

Best Deal?

This online shopping site is definitely in my best deal even though I do not have any shopping experience with them. This site had impressed me even with the little knowledge of such brand products and their pricing that I have.

I will appreciate if you let me know should you differ from me as I am not very versed in these brands for their pricing

Their price range is quite vast and they provide tester, sample and regular sizes of many of their products. Their price range from SGD$ 2.60- SGD$175.50.

Happy shopping and to share with me your comments about my post.
If you have any shopping experience with them, please share it too. Thanks

Both blogshops or online shopping sites are on par with their range of products. The are focused on selling products that are recommended by the “Nu Ren Wo Zui Da” Taiwanese program. Items ranges from beauty products, to hair accessories and other miscellaneous items.

Cheap Trendy Clothes: Wholesale

sgblogshopsreview — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:27:57 +0000

Image taken from Versuaz

Have you even hope to get discounts if you buy a number of apparels at one go? If you do, this post is for you. If you do not want to buy so many pieces, maybe you can also try to buy the apparels together with your friends to get 10 pieces. This is because this blogshop or online shopping site which i am going to share with you sells cheap trendy clothes at wholesale price because they are a wholesaler.

I will also be sharing with you a price comparison with another blogshop or online shopping site.

I came to know Versuaz because they have contacted me to review their blogshop or online shopping site. I declare that I have not received any renumeration by reviewing about them. I felt that you might be interested to purchase something with them because of the prices and apparels that they are offering.

For your information, Versuaz is not based in Singapore but in China. Therefore, shipping cost is the only concern. However, read on to find out more about them and I’m sure it will benefit you. =)

Design Template

Versuaz has a simple and professional design template.

There was an “About me” to find out about them, but I felt that they could have written more about themselves. I have initially thought that they were based in Singapore. However, when I found out there was shipping cost I realised that there were not based here.

Proper categories were used for you to navigate around. There was also a particular function called “Add to compare”. You get to choose a few apparels you like, click the compare button and the system will show you the comparison of the apparels. That is so useful don’t you agree with me?

There were also clear indication of materials and sizes of the apparels which is very useful too.

Focus and Content of the Blogshop or Online Shopping Site

They are very focused on women apparels. There is a decent variety of the apparels but more could be added for working clothes, pants and skirts.

Nevertheless, the apparels that are available are trendy and cheap.

Here’s some of their items

Customer Service

I must comment that they were very prompt in their replies. I did not enquire about any of the apparels. However, my experience with them through the email because they have contacted me was very formal. I would have hope that they were less formal in the language used.

Price comparison

I’m sure this part will interest you.

Do you remember in one of my post Women Fashion Online Shopping: Korean and Hong Kong Fashion, I introduced a blogshop or online shopping site called ShopLah, i saw an exact same dress, with the same model at both Versuaz’s and ShopLah’s blogshop or online shopping site.

Look at this:

From Versuaz

From ShopLah

Would you like to make a guess on the price difference?

Alright, here’s the answer. The same dress that is sold at Versuaz is selling at SGD$12.62 and ShopLah at SGD$23.90. Yes! A price difference of SGD$11.28.

Wait! Just before you think ShopLah is making such a huge profit, or Versuaz is a scam site. Here are some reasons for their price difference

Versuaz is a wholesale blogshop or online shopping site
The price that i have written SGD$12.62, has not include shipping cost
ShopLah is a blogshop or online shopping site and it is only right for them to mark up the price a little for their profit isn’t it?

Nevertheless, an average price for an apparel at Versuaz is about SGD$15. If a minimum quantity of 10 pieces is needed plus shipping cost, here’s the calculation:

1 apparel -> SGD$15

10 apparels -> SGD$15 x 10 = SGD$150

Shipping cost for 10 pieces -> USD$34 (SGD$47.20)

Total cost -> SGD$150 + SGD$47.20 = SGD$197.20

Average cost for 1 apparel -> SGD$19.72

Best Deal?

It is the best deal even though I have not purchased anything from them. If you have a group of friends that you can pool your order together, or you are on a shopping spree and is willing to part with about SGD$200, Versuaz will be to your liking. Their price range from SGD$11 – $34. Dresses range from SGD11-$16 and the others cost less than SGD$20 with an exception of a few coats that is selling at about SGD34. This price range excludes shipping cost.

Last words

If you would like to purchase something from them, I don’t mind pooling our orders together. Do drop a comment to let me know your interest so that we can pool our orders

Till then, happy shopping and do drop me your comments about this post. Thanks!
