For fashion, we know they are well known. But what about their skin/beauty products?
I have used nivea from germany and i found that to be very diff and better than the ones i get from elsewhere. I don’t know why is that, maybe because nivea is a german brand? but it doesnt really make sense as to why they would have diff quality in their country and diff elsewhere 
.
Whatelse is diff and good from there?
Re: European Products...
^Nivea has 2 versions; one is made in Germany and the other in Mexico. The one sold in the US is made in Mexico so I always make sure I get the German one. It also doesn't have filler ingredients and mineral oil like the Mexican one.
As for other European products, I love lots. And European skincare is known for being pretty excellent. Especially since most of it doesn't have fillers or irritants like North American skincare. I love Oilatum (favorite moisturizer). Avene is excellent too but I need to venture more into it. I hear they make a great starting retinoid as well as an eye cream which is great. I use Avene's Thermal Water spray which I sometimes use as a toner or to fresh up in the summer. Bioderma is my favorite makeup remover.
And of course, the makeup is quite excellent as well. Sleek, Illamasqua, Jemma Kidd, Ellis Faas, Burberry, Chanel, YSL, Dior, Guerlain etc are all really great.
Edit: Forgot to mention Clarins, Rouge Bunny Rouge, Louise Younge and BECCA.

Do you order it online? Or is it available at a specific store in the US?
Re: European Products...
^I get someone to pick it up for me from Pakistan or the UK because both these are the German versions. I have only found the Mexican version here in the US as well as Canada. I believe some stores may sell them but typically those would be specialty stores. Only the Mexican version is readily available.
No problem, Zareen!
Re: European Products...
