7 Online beauty stores for buy beauty products in India

Plenty of online beauty stores are offering best makeup and other beauty products from top brands. While shoppers online get confused in the crowd of so many stores, I give you a list that may make your choices easy to buy your favourite beauty products online. The online beauty stores include new comers and old players in the game selling beauty and other products.

365 Gorgeous
365 Gorgeous gives the very idea of beauty right from its design. Its menus are just similar to any other beauty site: makeup, skincare, bath & shower, haircare, men, fragrances, gift items and brands. 365 Gorgeous focuses on national and international makeup and beauty brands. You can shop by categories, brand and price range on this online beauty store.


Violet Bag
Violet Bag’s main product line have been bags, belts, sunglasses, watches, necklace, earrings but the site has a strong section of make up, personal care, fragrances, beauty tools etc. So, its product line matches with an online beauty store. Also, Violet Bag has a men grooming products section.  The customer can sort by Whats What, Whats New, Discount and Price for product display on each page.



Beauty Kafe
From the very first impression, Beauty Kafe remains clear on what it offers. Its quick block styled display does the communication clear for you. Just click on the right section and go inside your desired product range. This online beauty store has multiple filter options like brands, price, concerns, purpose, best for, color etc. Beauty Kafe gives free shipping on shopping above Rs. 500.  



Nykaa.com
This health and beauty site has a good display of items although number of brands are lesser compared to other beauty sites. Rather than buying products, I liked its Beauty Book. Even the online Makeup app is a nice thing to try.  Nykaa has also introduced a section for men also. Nykaa gives free shipping on shopping above Rs. 500 at present. 

Buy Me Beauty
Buy Me Beauty has a flat design and its category level of this beauty shop is not deep much. The prices of the products are expressed in dollar, so Indian customers may feel uneasy to calculate the equivalent price in Indian currency. The site mainly features cosmetics. You have to go to the Footer section to find brand names and products with discounts! 



StrawberryNet
For Indian customers, this beauty shop customizes its language. Its default language is Hindi such that a non-English speaker can also purchase from the site. Clearly, StrawberryNet has positioned itself for common Indian customers. You can search brands by alphabetical letters.  But the site design is flat.



Health-Shoppe.com does not sound like a beauty store from its name but the site will just wow you with its full range of national and international beauty brands. Health Shoppe’s advantage is it has blended its beauty product range with the product line of health products. Despite having huge number of product line, Health Shoppe has segmented it well through Fragrance, Cosmetics, Body & Skin care, HerbalProducts, Hair Care. They also have an option for Men Care under Beauty category. Also, travel kit is an intelligent segmentation under Beauty & Personal care that will attract frequent travelers. Customers will love to shop the beauty combos section where they can buy beauty items in combination packs. Health-Shoppe.com has a wide range of brands compared to its competitors. For fragrances alone, I found brands like, 18+, 4711, David Beckham, ESPRIT, Ed Hardy, Fogg, GUESS, Gillette, H2O, Intimate Secret, Jacques M, Jaguar, Jesus Del Pozo, Kamasutra, Manchester United, Morisons, Nature's Gate, Nautica, Parfums Gres, Paris Hilton, Park Avenue, Perry Ellis, Playboy, Raymond, Reebok, Royal Platinum, Swiss Army, TOUS, Tabac Original, Tonino Lamborghini, ZIPPO, Zero Gravity, Zuci, Zuska !  From the left panel, you can shop by brand, price, bestsellers etc.  Adding product to cart is really easy at Health-Shoppe.com and this online store has a simple one page checkout. And Health-Shoppe.com gives free shipping for shopping above Rs. 300/- only.

With this list, you can get a fair idea of some of the competing online beauty stores in India and rest of the geographical online market. Visit any online beauty store to browse through sections and add the products of your choice to cart. Enjoy your online shopping.
