I just stumbled upon a site that sells NARS, Trish McEvoy and a variety of other high end brands online, and here’s the clincher – THEY SHIP INTERNATIONALLY!!
The store is called Kiss and Makeup and is based in New York, USA. The price of a NARS Blush is US$25 (same as on the Nars website) and shipping worldwide is only $5.95 9.95 flat rate however much you buy. Nars Cosmetics’s website is a good place to start looking at the color swatches or you can view my Nars Blush collection. (I don’t own some anymore).
I’m actually sorely tempted by the Trish McEvoy powder brush #5. I’ve read glowing reviews about it and about how soft it is. But it is retailing at US$72 *whimper*
Did I mention Kiss and Makeup takes paypal? *hides my paypal account* Maybe we should just join our orders and save on shipping LOL…
Note: I haven’t shopped here and don’t know anyone who has. Does anyone who has tried it want to give us a review? 🙂
UPDATE: Please note that some people have experienced problems so shop at your own risk! Please read the Vogue forums for more info.
FREE SHIPPING CODE: Use code PARISB for free shipping worldwide from now until June 18, 2011.

October 29, 2010 at 8:52 amHi Paris,
I am the owner of Kiss and Makeup and I want to thank you so much for your review of my store! We’re glad to offer great lines such as Nars, Laura Mercier, Trish McEvoy, Smashbox, Kiehl’s, Fresh, Mario Badescu and many more to everyone around the world-at US prices! A few years ago when we started our online business, we had a rough patch with the shipping, but we really have it all down pat now so all orders are shipped within 2 days (unless items are out of stock) and are packaged carefully. I hope you’ll find our customer service to be excellent too-my partner answers all emails, and I answer all facebook comments-whether about orders or just general questions about products. Speaking of facebook, we offer exclusive promotions regularly on our fan page! The next time you place an order, mention this post in the comments section and I’ll trhow in a bunch of great extra samples for you!
Thanks Again!
XO, Amy

April 9, 2013 at 11:29 pmI am one disappointed customer. I did not get my package despite the 30-45 day wait as stipulated and never got it. When i emailed Kiss and Makeup the first time round & the delay was blamed on customs and on the second time round I was blamed for not buying insurance! They responded they are not responsible for lost, damaged, or theft. USPS on the other hand said once it leaves US soil they are not responsible! Please dont be duped by the $9.95 shipping. I suggest just stick to Strawberrynet. Pls gals its better to do biz with Strawberrynet than a company in US too far and expensive to call when packages cannot be traced. Dont support Kiss and Makeup YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
