Keep makeup out of the landfills with Glambot

Hate to chuck out barely used foundations and lipsticks? Looking for cosmetics and beauty products at lower prices without adding more waste to the environment? Glambot is here to solve those problems by breathing new life into previously loved beauty products. The US-based online platform pays people for their new or used, non-expired products, which are put through a thorough cleaning process involving alcohol and light therapy in their lab, then resold on the website. There’s a wide variety of beauty brands, everything from Anastasia to YSL, and Glambot offers free shipping to Hong Kong for orders over US$100.
