First online shopping haul from cosmetix

 Hi all, Sorry for the long absence I was away as there was illness in the family but now that person is recovering I am back :)
This is my first online haul ever and it’s from www.cosmetix.com . So let me review the experience. I had in mind of buying some cosmetics online just for the experience of it and I choose the cash on delivery (COD) option. Well I place the order on 19th feb and got them on 21st (Sorry for the late update). The products were individually bubble wrapped and in a hard cardboard box and all the products reached in top class quality.
Now about the site there are very few brands available and I must say that I saw one particular brand that was all sold out except for 2 items against it 20 or so items listed. So be ready to have many sold out signs on products. Another problem I have which happens to be quite common with other Indian beauty shopping sites is the limited palette choice as compared to international sites. Now let me explain that I came to the site particularly to buy NYX jumbo eye pencil in shade milk that was not available (though other shades are there ) so I ended up buying other things instead. Btw can anyone suggest where they are buying this shade from?
One brand I found adequately stocked was Biotique which is a herbal brand and my next purchase from cosmetix would definitely be Biotique products.
All in all I will give the site 4 out of 5 deducting .5 for not proper stoking of the products (you have to see to believe) and 0.5 for less choice in terms of both brands available and the shade limitation. This site provides great value for money.
However if you happen to find the thing that u are looking for on this site then I suggest you to go ahead and buy because of COD (cash on delivery) option and also due to there super quick delivery.
Here's a glimpse of what I bought -Berberry Refreshing Cleansing Lotion from Biotique, ShaNeem - Neem Hair Treatment Oil from Shahnaz Hussain,  NaturalBlend Swift Make-up Stick SPF-15 (1 new shade) - Shades : 730 Creamy Peach from Lotus Herbals, 
The review of each of these is coming up.
