We’re sure we’re not the only ones who love shopping for beauty products online. You get to do it whenever and wherever you are, and in many cases, are able to get products that don’t have a physical presence in your country.
We know that many of you shop at Sephora, and we are guilty of it. It’s definitely a great online platform to find many of our favourite brands. But if you’re looking to expand your list of online stores bookmarked on your browser, here are a few of that the Daily Vanity team shops at. You can thank us later!
