Hello, and welcome to the COSMANIA webshop, where you’ll find beautiful, affordable and very special international cosmetics brands that can’t be found anywhere else in the Netherlands. We love beauty brands with a strong story to tell, and we want to share them with you.
Blend with the world's finest beauty formulas.
COSMANIA caters beauty supplies for women and men who find pleasure in using beautiful, special and affordable international beauty brands. Our brands have a strong story to tell, and are (mostly) exclusive to the COSMANIA shop. This exclusivity to the Netherlands is just one of the principles of COSMANIA's brand philosophy.
For and by cosmaniacs
Two other principles are openness and interaction. Openness on our site comes in the form of honest product reviews. We value your opinions and experiences with our products immensely! So much so, that they also help determine what we include in our collection. The same goes for any tips you may have regarding international brands you may have seen on your travels or in magazines that you’d like to see in our range and share with other cosmaniacs! You are therefore cordially invited to think with us; to be interactive and enthusiastic. Let us know your tips and we’ll check them out to see if it’s a brand we can take on.
Naturally, the COSMANIA scouting machine is not an idle one and, together with our international scouts, we’re constantly on the look out – be it whilst traveling, in magazines, at trade fairs or scouring the Internet - for the best, most beautiful products; products that will fit within the COSMANIA formula perfectly.
How it all started
Marije Hoff and Marcel Dekker are the creators of COSMANIA, and are self-confessed cosmaniacs at heart. After years of international e-commerce and marketing experience in the fashion, beauty and lifestyle sectors (including international companies such as L'Oreal, Lancôme, Biotherm and Oilily), they decided it was high time to realize their own dream: to start a private lifestyle cosmetics company that caters for women and men who share their love for beautiful beauty brands. COSMANIA combines interest and passion for foreign products, beauty, photography, design, fashion and trends.
In October 2010, it became apparent that there were others out there who were just as enthusiastic about the idea for an online beauty shop as they were when they entered the COSMANIA business plan into the Marie Claire Starters Award – and won!
