Online cosmetic retailer: TameraOnline, yay or nay?

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

What is Tamera Online about? It sells make-up brands online, with supposedly free shipping anywhere in the Philippines. Its goal is to feature those products unavailable in the country. Usually, you have to go to the States to purchase them or buy them off online. Think brands like Prescriptives, Bath and Body Works, Benefit, Cle de Peau.

It’s like Sephora (never tried purchasing online though) but with a limited selection of products as of now. I found out about the website via Cosmopolitan May issue. I was interested in buying but Benefit Lemon Aid was unavailable.

I imagine, only a make-up junkie would probably buy off here. First-time buyers would be wary, unless they have a make-up swap system available similar to MUA. (I’d love to have that here, but that’s for another post.)

What do you think? Personally, I don’t like the colors. The site looks poorly managed–there are double/tripe entries of the same product! Bad start for an idea with potential. Editing needs to be improved on.

Has anyone tried their service? How is it? Any negative reviews? Will you be willing to give it a go?
