In the midst of the recession, Wal-Mart has been a budget-friendly oasis for beauty buffs looking to save some dough while still getting their makeup fix. Now, they can save on their favorite personal care items without ever stepping foot outdoors, because today, Wal-Mart.com launched health and beauty products online for home delivery.

For just 97 cents shipping per item, Wal-Mart’s website now offers thousands of personal care items from brands like Revlon, Neutrogena, L’Oreal, Colgate, Pantene and Gillette. Even better – if you’re not sure which beauty buy is right for you, get a free sample at walmart.com/samples. (available for select products).

Kelly Thompson, Walmart.com’s chief merchant, says adding these products online help provide customers with the best values on health and beauty brands with the convenience of home delivery. “By offering savings on our customers’ favorite health and beauty items online and in our stores, we can better help our customers shop the way they want,” she said.

Wal-Mart Launches Beauty Products Online

Well, the virtual world isn’t immune to this phenomenon either. Since I began writing for the Luxury section of Splendicity I started checking the size availabity for certain items I write about. I don’t want to direct you all to fabulous things that you then, in turn cannot buy because they don’t have your size! 

theoutnet.com

Take for example this Christian Louboutin Sale that theoutnet has been promoting today. I’ve seen a couple of tweets from them and received an e-mail touting the event as an extravaganza. I clicked the link while at work to see if I could find anything that I could dream about. Of course I could! The prices were almost bearable, $294 dollars for Christian Louboutin black pumps? I’ll take 10! But I couldn’t dream about them being on my feet because they were already out of all the size 6 1/2 and 7 shoes in the ones I liked.  Major downer. 

I’m not against these sales, oh no, not at all. For those lucky few ladies that happen to click on the link at the right time and pick up those 6 1/2 shoes I’ve been wanting since I was 15, I applaud your patience. But, can I just say right now…I think there should be a disclaimer at the bottom of these e-mails: “Size and Availability May Vary By The Time You Open This E-mail.” I think it would help a lot of us.

Boxing Week shopping

I have a purple car…

I used to have purple hair…

I even have a set of purple tools…

But I don’t have a pair of purple boots.

These “Zaven” boots from Type Z could happily fulfill that empty spot in my closet though
