Shopper's Paradise

What kind of girl doesn't love shopping?

I've noticed there's been a trend lately with online shopping. These sites starting to pop up, called flash sale sites. Basically it's a membership based site that has several sales everyday that they will reveal at 9 am PST (different sites vary). It's first come, first serve basis and the sales only lasts couple days, or until the items are all sold out.

I do not work well with sites like these.... LOL
That means the impulsive shopper like I am have a chance to go shopping every day just by sitting in front of the computer. Very bad indeed!! However, you can really score some designer brand items or brands you love with these sites.   These sites have shipping usually from $5.95-$9.95 but there's no tax. They ship your item as soon as the sale closes. But it can take couple weeks to a month. And they have excellent customer services and a lot of them offer free returns.

These screen shots that I grabbed are from today, so if you go into the sites later, you might not see the same items on sale. Some are very high end, like Fendi, Burburry. But they also have cheaper items like Crocs, London Fog, Betsy Johnson...etc.

All the sites have similar categories, Womens, Mens, Kids, Home, Beauty, Travel.

There are several I wanted to share.



1. First is Ideeli. This is one of my favorite ones because they offer a lot of items daily.

 2. Next is Ruelala. Here are some of the sample sales they have going on.

3. Hautelook, another one of my favorites. They often have cosmetics products here for very cheap. I have seen Urban Decay eyeshadow, foundations, brushes... for $2.





4. Gilt Groupe. This is the most high end out of the bunch. I rarely buy anything from here, but just browse here and there. What's special about this one, is that they have a "taste" section now, and offers some gourmet food items like Wagyu Beef, Pig Tails, Quails, Spanish Magalica Ham with Carving Stand, Black Winter Truffles, Truffle Oil... It's definitely fun to browse though.
