When shopping for beauty products online, what you receive can often be a mystery. Purchasing directly from reputable brands like L'Oreal or Estée Lauder almost guarantees you’ll get the genuine article. However, as one beauty buyer discovered, shopping from lesser-known online sellers can feel more like a gamble.
In conclusion, while the allure of lower prices from sites like AliExpress may be tempting, it’s essential to proceed with caution to ensure you receive authentic and high-quality products.

Beauty Face Mask The buyer got a face mask that looked like charcoal, but it turned out to be much smaller than she had anticipated. The buyer received a sheet mask that was more akin to the size of a cat's face than it was face-size. A commenter even bemoaned the lack of a beauty routine for cats, pointing out that this mask would be the ideal size. Avoid using inexpensive face masks.

Sometimes, using cheap, inferior face masks might result in burns or even dermatitis. Vogue recommends the Farmacy Coconut Gel Sheet Mask, deemed the "Best of 2020," if you're ready to pay a bit extra.
