You can buy online, just go to a local scuba shop and get fitted and then buy online.

I found certain Cressi fit my face best.

Find a way to compete, I don't owe a business loyalty for being small. I can always try on and return through Amazon as well.

We got some full face snorkel and mask sets, only about $30 each on Amazon. They worked great and the snorkel does not fill with water when you dive.

Yep...we (kinda) did the same just not the full face mask. I had mask, fins with booties, snorkel I got at a dive shop when I got PADI certified. My MIL bought my wife and daughter a set off amazon with a strap pad for the back and they worked just as good as mine with actually a bigger field of vision. I don't dive anymore but the amazon products worked just fine.

Something to consider with these cheap full face masks.

Be careful with dry tubes, they have resulted in deaths as well.

A lot of ROPE deaths involved with that too, give it a day or two before snorkeling after long flights.

Go to a local shop and try them all on. No telling what will fit best. Don't look at brand or price.
