Hi all!

Greece, as known by all( since the euro came in) is one of the most expensive countries in the E.E, I won't even bother discussing the difference between Greece and US/Canada.

I work in the import/export field and our cost and what we sell a certain item afterwards is a disgrace. Born and raised in Canada where compared to here everything seems ridiculously free(from groceries,to electronics, to beauty supplies to clothing)I refuse to pay more for things I can simply get elsewhere so much cheaper. Not having the option to travel to Canada but once a year to stock up, in the past years I've done my research and I'd like to share it with you. And NO I am not advertising I just really think it's worth sharing and I hate being fooled and throwing away my money!

My best discovery in the past years (and yeah I havent stepped in a Hondos Center/Sephora/Beauty Shop in a long time and I will never again! ) are Beauty and drugstore supplies. Obviously by now you know I am referring to online shopping!After my extensive research and testing, the following sites ARE THE BEST for online shopping, with reference to service ,safety and prices.

1. feelunique.com FREE SHIPPING on all goods, you get to see prices in Euros by switching currency on site,very safe, big selection and so so cheap. UK based of course(if you are in the EU best to shop within it or u risk getting charged duties by Greek Authorities which trust me is not cheap)A L'oreal mascara which you will find in Hondos for about 20euros sells for 10euros...salon hairdressing shampoos etc are 30%-50% cheaper than buying locally and many times you get Salon sizes ;)Also has a range in vitamins and some home goodies. It's really worth a shot, this one is my favorite shop.

2. cheapsmells.com Once again Uk based, I shop here when I cant find something I need on The previous site: Feelunique. It has a small shipping fee per item, sometimes I compare item costs between both sites to see if I am still saving even after shipping charges, products are similar range like Feelunique. Very good prices and has sales often.

3. directcosmetics.com UK Based. Has designer and also pharmacy brands(Sally Hansen, Garnier ,etc) also has shipping fee but quote low. It has quite different things than above sites but very cheap specials!!I'm very satisfied with them also.

4. chemistdirect.co.uk This one is a different site, most products are pharmacy based(such as Shoppers Drug mart etc) VERY cheap compared to Greece big selection, electronics also, you have a standard basic shipping fee of about 8.50 euros no matter HOW many products you buy, it's a good site to shop when u need lots of things (if you check the site and compare prices you WILL see lots of things you will need because the prices are worth it. Very good site and service.

For above sites that you cant convert prices into euros (the 2 last ones if i am not wrong) you can go to Yahoo currency converter and check your total,don't worry once u go to checkout cart in all of them you can decide if you wanna continue(in case u wanna remove something or find shipping is too expensive) obviously in all of them you got to register and use a credit card, I have tried all of them several times so I can tell you they are all safe, shipping to Greece( I am in Piraeus/athens) takes about 7 working days, I love it, no need to throw away my cash, I save lots , find products that I cannot find in Greece and dont have to rush through the crowds in this busy city for my basics! There's perfumes, colognes, makeup all kinds of hair products, vitamins, OTC medicines(on ChemistDirect), electronics. Mens products are also available, hair products and colognes.

I hope you enjoy them, I dont think I could live without them!!!!!
