Shopping at Adambeauty.com – simple tutorial
I previously highlighted Adambeauty.com as an online cosmetics retailer of mainly Japanese beauty products. At that time, I had not bought anything from the site so did not have first hand experience.
However, I recently purchased something from the site and I must say, the experience has been reasonably good.
I decided that waiting for Kanebo’s new Coffret D’or collection to hit our shores was going to take too long. So, I hopped over to Adambeauty.com and purchased a palette from them.
The problem with shopping on Adambeauty, as I have pointed out before, is the fact that the site is predominantly in Chinese. So, if you can read Chinese characters, it’ll be easy for you. For someone like me who cannot, I have to rely on whatever little English is available, and intuition. It might be useful for Adambeauty to get someone to write copy of their site in English, at least for the shipping and payment terms. The rest of it is quite easy to guess.
If you are English language based and are wondering how to shop on Adambeauty.com I have prepared a simple tutorial here:-
1. When you go to Adambeauty.com you will see a list of brands on the right. Click on whichever brand catches your fancy.
2. For our purposes I have used Kanebo as an example and here is the page you will be taken to. Click on any of the sub-brands of Kanebo along the right side to be taken to a list of items for sale under that brand. For my purposes I have left it at Coffret D’or which is Kanebo’s newest launch.
3. Scroll down the product list to the item you want. In our case, it is the Coffret D’or 3D Highlighting Eyes eyeshadow palette, and click on it. You will be shown a list of colour shades in this product range at the bottom of the screen. If an item is sold out for the time being, it will say so, but they restock often so check back later if you want it.
4. The prices are displayed in Hong Kong Dollars but if you click on the blue BUY button you will be taken to your shopping cart. There, you will see the quantity of your order and prices in HKD, USD and RMB. Note that the USD price includes the shipping and packaging cost. However, US$2 will be added to your order at checkout for registered post. This is a PER ORDER charge not per item.
5. You can click on “RETURN TO SHOPPING” to continue shopping or if you have completed your purchase, click on OVERSEAS. You will then be taken to Checkout. NOTE: For overseas (outside of HONG KONG AND CHINA) shipping only PAYPAL is accepted.
6. Click on CASHIER and you will be taken to your order confirmation page. If everything is in order (check your item and price. The US$2 is added for registered shipping which is compulsory) click on the PAYPAL button right at the bottom. You will then be taken to your paypal sign in page for you to complete payment of your order.
7. After payment is made, you will receive an email confirmation of payment to your email address registered with paypal, and Adambeauty will also email you your registered post tracking number. This enables you to track the package from the time it leaves Hong Kong (and if your country’s postal service permits it) to the time it reaches your country. I managed to track mine up to the time it said “Despatched” and I received it not long after I checked!
My package took about 1 week to get here from the time I made my order. However, Malaysia is relatively near to Hong Kong. If you are in Europe or USA I’m not sure if it’ll take a little bit longer. I’ll definitely be doing my Japanese makeup shopping on Adambeauty.com for Japan exclusive and hard to get items!
