WORLDWIDE SHIPPING FOR U.S COMPANIES THAT DON’T SHOP WORLDWIDE


 Have you ever watched a video on Youtube, a post on a blog, or a review from a makeup artist/”guru” about a product, only to be disappointed by the fact that those companies don’t ship products to your country?

Tons of popular cosmetic companies (and non-cosmetic companies) only ship around the United States. Some of these companies have amazing shipping deals for U.S. shipping addresses only, and some of them don’t ship to your country at all.
Take for example Inglot Cosmetics**. Inglot is a cosmetic brand that has recently been gaining popularity for their eye shadows. Now Inglot is not easily available for every individual. And for those that would really like to buy their products but can’t due to accessibility issues, may have to resort to sources such as ebay.

There is another option however. You can choose to sign up for programs such as MyUS.com or USA2Me.com. These are companies who will give you a U.S. shipping address to use during your purchase. Your purchase then gets sent to MyUS or USA2Me, who then send the product directly to you.
Both these companies ship worldwide and have various delivery options from standard to immediate delivery.

This is a great option for consumers who have trouble finding vegan/halal products that are shipped worldwide. For example, if you are looking for a moisturizer from ORIGINS, and you know ORIGINS doesn’t ship to your country, you can always use this service to get these otherwise inaccessible products to you.

This is a great option for Vegan or Muslim makeup artists who want to stay true to their belief, and would like to use vegetable-based creams and cosmetics on their clients. These products are sometimes hard for everyone to get, but if you stick true to your belief, you’d be surprised as to how many people will respect and trust to do business with you.

**I have used Inglot Cosmetics as an example, but Inglot has yet to get back to me about the ingredients they use in their products**

ORIGINS COSMETIC LINE


 
Origins is a cosmetic brand whose philosophy is driven by the goal to use non-animal ingredients. Most of their products are even suited for vegans; however, some of their formulations do contain beeswax and honey.

For a Muslim, and vegetarian consumers Origins would be the perfect option. You can pick out any product from their cosmetic and skincare line without hesitation.

Now one of the drawbacks of most plant-based companies is that they tend to be pricey and people would like to know if they’re getting their money’s worth.

Although I can only review and rate their Stay Tuned Foundation for you, I cannot rate this company as a whole because I haven’t tried many of their other products.

Nonetheless, the company states that if you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase then they’ll happily exchange or refund your purchase.

What I can tell you is the Stay Tuned Foundation I’ve used by this company is amazing; this definitely encourages me to try out more of their products.

Unfortunately, the one drawback for this company is that is not widely accessible in person. The only store I personally know that carries Origin products is Sephora; however, they only carry Origins skincare products and don’t have any of their makeup products. Although Origins does have a website, the shipping is only accessible to individuals living in the States and Canada.

Nonetheless, there is still a method of receiving Origin products even if you don’t live in Canada and the United States, I'll talk about this subject in my next post!
