Lately, I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of buying stuff online vs. in a brick-and-mortar store. I probably shop online a lot more than many other people, mostly because of (a) where I live, and (b) how lazy I am. Here are the main reasons why I do most of my shopping online:

Long after I had outgrown the target demographic for children’s and baby shampoos, I continued to use Johnson’s Baby Tear Free Shampoo because I loved the smell. Since then, I’ve switched over to sulfate-free shampoo, but I still find myself drawn to baby products, because I’m always looking for products that won’t irritate my skin—and what could be less irritating than stuff that’s specifically to touch the skin of babes?

Sephora sells a Sun Safety Kit every year, which includes a ton of sample- and full-sized sunscreen and sun-related products, neatly packaged in a cute, reusable bag. It’s a great way to try out a bunch of sunscreens that have been popular among Sephora’s customers, without having to buy expensive, full-sized packages. You can also throw these mini-sized products in your bag, which makes them really great for retouching your sunscreen when you’re out and about.
