Re: MUST HAVES from UK
People seem to like Sleek make-up quite a bit. Max Factor mascaras for sure!
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Barry M dazzle dusts! I'm not sure weather you have bourjois in the US but if u don't then make sure you check out their healthy mix foundation, blushes, their bronzer is really good too!

thanks! i don't think i've seen bourjois here- i'll check it out! any blush shades you recommend specifically?
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Sleek is available at Superdrugs, Max Factor you can find in Superdrugs, Boots, and a few other places, they're not high-end stuff so easy to find.
Barry M you should have a look at too, maybe GOSH as wekk if you want the dazzle dust eyeshadow pots?
Sleek products - their blushes seem to be really popular, their eyeshadows are not bad too. I'd just say go to the Sleek products section and have a look at what you like really!
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Burberry Lipsticks (or the entire make up collection for that matter)!--Impossible to find in the US--only available on line where you cant try or test. Otherwise in only 4 stores across the nation.
Chanel Knightsbridge collection--gorgeous colors--not available here
Seasonal perfumes --Stella by Stella McCartney
French Connection lotions
Overall there is a much wider collection of cosmetics in the London--half of Harrods makeup inventory you wont be able to find here--If you do there are fewer colors.
Elemis skin care
There are fewer Molton Brown body wash scents available here
A handful of stores have Jo Malone
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Not British – but if you want an incredible scent not available in any other country except France go to Fragonard : PARFUMEUR - GRASSE * PARIS * EZE. Will not be disappointed by Belle du Nuit.
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Dont forget your Hotel Chocolat:):)
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
Bioderma, Oilatum and skincare! I'd also get the Sleek Blush palettes!
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
thanks gals!
does bourjois have any good cream blushes?
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
^I haven't seen any, they only seem to do blushes as pressed powder pots and the colours are pretty popular, I've got a couple in peachy colours they're nice
Have a look in the department stores to see what they have, I dunno what you're looking for really so just have a look! There's brands like Black Up and Fashion Fair which is good for asian/black skin, but haven't tried them myself to see if they're any good really!
