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!
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
oohh thanks yeah i’d like to try the sleek stuff- and i used to use max factor mascara before they discontinued it in the US- good idea!
anyone have suggestions for specific sleek products and what stores do you get it?
Re: MUST HAVES from UK
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!
