As much as I find TV commercials annoying here, in India, I love watching them when I travel abroad. Even if they are in a language I don’t understand. During my honeymoon in Australia in 2003, on a cable home shopping channel, I saw some beauty products by an Australian brand called Mirenesse that seemed wonderful. I searched in stores and malls but couldn’t find this brand so had to give up. And now, after 11 years, I hear that it is available on South Asia’s #1 online beauty destination, Luxola.com. What’s even better is that Luxola.com now ships to India as well!!!
About Luxola:
Luxola.com was started in 2011 and because it stocked 100% authentic beauty products from a huge number of brands and gave swift delivery, it soon became the #1 online destination for beauty in South-East Asia. Currently, Luxola has over 200 of the world’s leading brands and more than 4000 products across categories. It also has an engaging online magazine, LXEdit.com for beauty tips and trends as well as a virtual makeup studio, LXStudio.
Orders placed on Luxola are processed really fast with Singapore-based customers having the option of “Self-Collection” where they can pick up the products from the warehouse in Singapore. Shipping charges to India are ₹950, which are certainly high, but they also offer free shipping for orders above ₹2300.
Luxola also ships products on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis, which is why some of the products seem to be priced higher. DDP basically means that all relevant import taxes and duties are included in the final purchase price so you won’t be charged Customs Duty. Those who have been charged exorbitant Customs Duties without any logical explanation will find this as a welcome relief.

I was super-thrilled when Luxola.com send me three Mirenesse products to review. This is a brand that I wanted to try out more than a decade ago and finally, I could. Here’s what they sent me:
PEBBLE SONIC DEVICE – ₹9,542
WOW! Super WOW! My skin has met it’s soulmate! I started using the Pebblesonic on Diwali day and in these four days, I can’t tell you how wonderfully soft and smooth my skin feels! I shall write a detailed review on this soon, but trust me when I say it’s the best thing to have happened to my skin…
ICE CRYSTAL CRYOTHERAPY FACE MASK – AU$ 29.95 (approx ₹1,600)
The full name for this sheet mask is “Fast Fix Ice Crystal Cryotherapy Wrinkle Freeze Collagen Event Mask”. Whew! Quite a mouthful isn’t it? Priced at approximately ₹1600 for a set of two sheets (one for the upper part of the face and one for the lower), this is definitely quite an expensive mask but it claims to literally freeze the wrinkles in their tracks! Each hydrogel mask is infused with 40 anti-aging ingredients and is the equivalent to one full bottle of anti-aging serum. I’m going to keep this for some really, really special occasion.
INSTANT LASH DUET VOLUMISING MASCARA – ₹1,438.50
A new eyelash innovation with Ionic Technology, this is a high-tech, dual-ended mascara with black transplant gel on one end and silky black fibers on the other end. You brush on the gel and then the fibers and they cling to your eyelashes making them longer and thicker. One application lasts upto 24 hours and is easy to remove as well. Gives a dramatic look without transplants or false lashes! I think this mascara is going to convert non-mascara user, that’s me, into a mascara-worshipper.
If you’re feeling the urge to go on an online shopping-spree after reading this, here’s a little treat for you:
