If street shopping and mall hopping for cosmetics is too much of an exercise for your lazy backside, the World Wide Web can make your shopping expeditions much more comfortable.

Log on to the world of quickly growing, fast selling and vastly stocked products. You can find every brand under the sun and even some beyond it on this immensely populated virtual marketplace. From high end brands to budgeted ones, there is something here for everyone.

If you are looking for cheap cosmetics, there are a websites as varied as the makeup products they sell. The most talked about website on the cheap cosmetics front is E.L.F or EyesLipsFace.com. This website is the answer to every not-so-economically-blessed soul. You can find mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks, foundations and concealers, all for less than $5 each! They offer free shipping on a minimum order of $75 but products are non-refundable.

If you don't let anything less than organic makeup enhance your appearance, visit KissMyFace.com. It is a website entirely dedicated to low cost organic makeup products. Its biggest sellers are lip glosses made from minerals and a 3-way colour that can be applied on your eyes, lips and cheeks.

All Cosmetics Wholesale is a makeup junkie's heaven, as they sell high end cosmetic products at prices lower than their wholesale rates. You can also find rare products from Kiehl's, Dior and MAC at this amazingly low priced website. And the cherry on top of this already fantastic cake- their regular clearance sales where the prices go down to an unbelievable low!

Cherry Culture is another website that sells cosmetics at discounted rates. You can shop for brands like NYX and Milani. Also, this site sells good quality makeup brushes at reasonable prices. Beauty Crunch.com is a website true to its name; it gives you a way out of monetary crunch, into makeup heaven.

Cosmetics Bag is also a website worth checking out. It sells E.L.F cosmetics as well as some of its own products at heavily discounted prices. The Fran Wilson Mood Magic Lipstick and Snapple Lip Balm are some of its biggest sellers, mainly for their sheer coolness.

Drugstore.com saves you a trip to the local market and brings all major beauty brands to your home screen. Look out for its special discounts and the great deals offered on brands like Stila, Sugar and Tarte. This website collaborated with Beauty.com to widen its product and consumer base, so now you can cover almost all the brands, including organic and high end cosmetic ranges.

While shopping online seems easy, before you begin clicking away to glory, there are certain pointers you must keep in mind. First, check the retail price of the product and then compare it to the prices being offered online. Always pay attention to the exchange and return policy; you don't want to be stuck with musky cologne instead of the floral scent you ordered. Also, keep an eye out for the shipping charges; it is always best to club orders with friends or family members to avoid the extra charge.

Beauty doesn't have a price on it, but in times of monetary distress, every penny counts.
