Website: Makeup Mix Shop

In January, Toma, the beauty behind Makeup Masala blog, opened her own online store, called theMakeup Mix Shop.

Toma sells her own mineral makeup line, called Makeup Masala minerals, as well as other brands like NYX, Jesse’s Girl, Eco Tools and Coastal Scent to name just a few. The website also has a nice selection of jewellery and wallets. Most of the brands sold on the site are hard to find in Europe, so I was very excited I finally had a place to get them online. And I was also very curious to try Toma’s makeup line. So, I decided to order some stuff.

Buying online from The Makeup Mix Shop is very easy. You just need to create an account and follow the instructions. After selecting the items you want, you are taken to the payment page. The only payment option available for my order was paypal, which is actually my fave method for paying online as it quick and safe.

Toma ships worldwide and delivery charges aren’t very expensive at all! International p&p is $3.95 on orders up to $19.00, $5.95 on orders from $20.00 to $39.00, and free if you spend more than $40.00! In addition, The Makeup Mix shops often has lots of sales and discounts. There’s also a Customer Discount Loyalty Program, which entitles you to a discount if you spend more than $50.00 in a month. Please check the website for more details.

After making the order, I got a confirmation email. Half an hour later, I got another one stating that my order was being prepared to be shipped and, after a couple of hours, I got the last email saying that order had been shipped! The package took about two weeks to arrive. I was actually surprised it arrived so soon as packages from the States to Italy usually take longer to be delivered. Also, keep in mind that I ordered the items around Easter, so I probably would have got it sooner if postal offices hadn’t been closed for the holidays.

Everything was packaged very carefully. The pigments jars were put in a cute little bag and they arrived intact. Toma also included a sample of one of her mineral eyeshadows. I thought that was very nice of her. Thank you, Toma!

Summary:
Overall, my experience was very positive and I will definitely buy again from the website. Delivery is quick and not very expensive, the products are well packaged and Toma is a really sweet, professional and reliable lady. She was also so nice to add a sample as well.

Rating: 5/5

Toma’s wonderful! It was sorta my first time using pay pal and she was helping me all the way because I had problems with pay pal. she shipped out my package very quickly and it arrived (from US to Malaysia) in 5 days O_O I was completely stunned. Even some local packages take longer than that!

my_makeup_mania: yes, she has lots of great stuff!

Camille: she is lovely, isn’t she?

Nikki: me too! I’m glad she opened her shop, she has some great stuff and is always so helpful and nice!

Connie: that was very nice of her, she is always so helpful! wow, 5 days? That’s really quick! I was surpised at how quick delivery is too! Usually packages from teh UK to Italy take about two weeks to arrive, so I thought I had to wait more to get my oder from the US. But hadn’t it been for the holidays, it would probably have arrived even sooner!

thiamere: I love shopping there too and I will definitely do that regularly from now on. And she really is very sweet and nice!

I was very pleased with the service. Quick and professional. And if you have any questions or problems Toma is always ready to help you out.
I really like the little star bag, it’s so cute!
