Did you know that Australian women and consumers are forced to pay up to 60% more than a consumer in the UK for cosmetics? Even on sale, many of our favorite drugstore brands are much more expensive than they would ever be in the US and the UK. For example, a Revlon foundation that costs no more than $8 in Walmart, will cost us up to $38, and $24 on sale.
There is absolutely no reason that we should pay this price, and companies like Illamasqua are leading a petition to change that reality and have also lowered their prices in Australia to match those in their UK stores. If you are interested, you can sign said petition here. This kind of positive pressure has lead renowened cosmetics company Lancome to lower their retail price of their best selling foundations to $50 in Australia, from $68.
Until this is the case with every brand, I made a quick post to help Australian women find cheaper cosmetics online, from stores that I have personally bought from and have been tested and verified by yours truly as authentic and reliable. I haven't included websites such as Priceline and Adore Beauty, since their pricing still reflects the pricing in Australia.
