Exclusive brands and quick shipping, I’m a very satisfied customer haha. Free shipping for International orders over £50 Offer of the moment: 10%OFF & FREE UK Shipping with code XMAS10.
Their little + : super friendly and active on Twitter, I was waiting on Indie Lee’s lotion to be back in stock and they notified me on Twitter. The exclusive choice of products. You can recommend a brand you can’t find in Europe and they will try to distribute it in the UK. How awesome is that?

Amazingy : Based in Germany, Amazingy sells high-coveted and eco-luxury beauty brands such as Kjaer Weis, Mae Lindstrom, RMS, ILIA, Tata Harper … Being an eco and animal friendly company, the products they sell are guaranteed to have never been tested on animals.

With every order, free samples are also included and inside your package you may find a little discount card.
They have partnered with Trees for the Future and pledge to plant a tree for every order. Amazingy, isn’t it? 🙂

Sometimes you find stuff, you didn’t know they even existed (*ahem* slendertone face)Look Fantastic: Founded in 1996, it is the original online British
beauty boutique, with a selection of over 14,000 products. LF is not focused on green beauty, but there’s a little well-being and organic section.Their little +: Free worldwide delivery.

(Update : Alice & White (February 2014) and Reina Organics (January 2015 )

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alice & White: This is a recent discovery, but oh so good! A few months ago, I was trying to get my hands on some Bodhi products. Unfortunately, they were only available in the UK, until Bodhi informed me over Twitter that there was a Swedish online shop that was carrying their products. Alice & White is an online eco-store founded in 2012. I ordered from them and their service is impeccable. They are also the Scandinavian appointed
distributor of some top British natural brands such as Mitchell and Peach, Bodhi or Balance Me.

Their little + : Cosmopolitan selection of brands (from British to Scandinavian brands) active on Instagram, offer free samples with each order. Alice & White, has become in a very short time, one of my favorites.Reina Organics: New year, new shop! Reina Organics is based in the Netherlands and I was in awe of their current selection. I got even more excited when I heard that this was just the beginning, since more brands will make their appearance in the future. Also, Reina is solely run by one person, the founder Rayna herself, which is beyond impressive, because she manages to make everything run smoothly, and offers a more personal approach to green beauty and wellness.
Make sure to suscribe to their newsletter to be the first informed about new brands and discounts. Worldwide shipping (free shipping from 45/145 Eur, depending on the location)
Their little + : An exclusive selection of brands, that are very hard to find in Europe such as La Bella Figura, Soapwalla, John Masters Organics and a great mix of affordable and high-end brands. There’s truly something for everyone. To top it off, each order comes in a beautiful wrapping paper, receiving a Reina Organics packages genuinely feels like receiving a Christmas gift.Update : Corpo Natura – September 2015)

Corpo Natura:  Corpo Natura is a fabulous eco beauty shop from the Netherlands. Even though it’s opened recently, the product selection is really impressive, I absolutely love everything! Anouk, the founder is very sweet and attentive to her customers needs and carefully picks each product herself.
Their little + : An eclectic range of green brands – from cult brands such as Prtty Peauschun, Kahina, Dr. Alkaitis, Eco by Sonya  to more indie brands such as Uvas Frescas – coming from the all over the world. Corpo Natura also offers a large range of Alima Pure products, from the foundations to the limited edition collections. A sample service is available to determine your skin match. Also, a custom shipping quote is made for small orders to reduce shipping fees. How great is that!

Now keep in mind that those are the ones I’ve tested and approved of. I’m always looking for other great online beauty havens and I will definitely make some updates if I find other great websites. Feel free to share your favourite online beauty boutiques.
Happy shopping !

Take care,
