With the lower exchange rate between Singapore dollars and US dollars, it’s really a good time to buy US cosmetics now.  Like Benefit Cosmetics for example; it’s really much cheaper buying it online than from the Tangs counter.  If you are able to chalk up purchases of US$100, you can save on the shipping cost by using promo code INTLSHIP at checkout.  In fact, I just placed an order of that amount and the total shipping cost saved was close to US$20 because I remember to use that promo code.

I also did some comparisons on the pricing of some of the best sellers and here’s an idea of the savings if you get them online:

Benetint: counter at S$65, online at US$28 (~ S$40)
Dandelion: counter at S$60, onine at US$28 (~S$40)
Dallas: counter at S$60, online at US$28 (~S$40)
10: counter at S$60, online at US$28 (~S$40)
Smooch: counter at S$44, online at US$20 (~S$28)
Georgia: counter at S$60, online at US$28 (~S$40)
Powder Pop: counter at S$60, online at US$28 (~S$40)
Some-Kind-Of-Gorgeous: counter at S$60, online at US$26 (~S$37)  
Pocketgal: counter at S$41, online at US$20 (~S$28)
High Beam: counter at S$46, online at US$24 (~S$34)
High Brow: counter at S$44, online at US$20 (~S$28)
Big Beautiful Eyes: counter at S$67, online at US$32 (~S$45)
BADgal Lash: counter at S$44, online at US$19 (~S$27)
The Gloss: counter at S$30, online at US$14 (~S$20)
Lipscription: counter at S$67, online at US$32 (~S$45)
Dr Feelgood: counter at S$60, online at US$27 (~S$38)

As you can see, the savings is quite substantial if you buy the items online.  Items will take between 2 to 3 weeks to arrive here.  While you may not get instant gratification, but you can get hold of new items which are also not available here.  For example, Thrrrob which is only available in Singapore on 15 February.  In addition, each online order entitles you to receive 2 free samples.

So if you’re looking to buying some Benefit Cosmetics and wants to save loads, buy online.   You can also enter promo code HANKYPAN to get a signature lace throng with purchase over US$65 currently.  However, you can only use one promo code during checkout and I’m guessing you’ll prefer to use the one for free shipping.
