buying from amazon question

skincare junkie — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:32:38 GMT

i hear such good things about this lorac mega pro palette and watch some videos on youtube and the color swatches look soo pretty now i would like to purchase that palette. But the only way to get it is from amazon because lorac website already sold out, will it be safe to buy the palette from amazon? I only ask that because i read some stories about how people got ripped off from buying high priced make up and got a fake and thinking they got the real thing.

Is it sold by Amazon or is it a third party.

it will say on site if it's Amazon or a third party. Also another Shop net offers LORAC. Go to H and see if it is in stock

In my experience, buying through Amazon gives extra protection. If there are any problems Amazon will resolve them.

Right under the price of the item it will have the following description if the item is sold by Amazon.

In Stock.

Want it tomorrow, Oct. 10? Order within 9 hrs 12 mins and choose One-Day Shipping at checkout.

Sold by Amazon.com.

I can understand your concern.

Personally, I purchased mine from Amazon. Got it yesterday and it is in perfect condition. LORAC provided the link to the Amazon product on their Facebook page. When I try and search for the item directly on Amazon, I have a very hard time trying to find it, so I just looked up the product using the link in my original order.

When/If I order beauty items from Amazon, I always try to buy from Amazon as the seller. If the item is not available directly from Amazon, I look at the reviews of the seller. I then try to do a little research of the seller on the internet, just to see if they really exist, especially if they seem to be a larger company.

It appears the palette is sold out on Amazon now, but they may release more if they have them available. Same thing happened on Tuesday when the palette was released, and by Wednesday morning it was available again.

Amazon is great--I use them all of the time for everything! Just this week, I had the first incorrect order ever--and I've probably ordered hundreds of items over the years. All I did was call and explain the situation (I ordered a pack of two items and only received one)--they IMMEDIATELY refunded my cc for the missing item. I was very impressed and will continue to use Amazon.

I would not hesitate to order from Amazon. They have the best service dept of anyone. They stand behind their products and ask no questions if you have a return. Good luck.

I purchase many items from Amazon but use the ""prime"" items sold by Amazon. They have fantastic customer service and returns without no shipping/handling.
