I went to London and Paris last week for a family vacation and it was the perfect opportunity to check out some products raved by the British beauty gurus on Youtube: Lisa Eldridge, Pixiwoo sisters, Tanya Burr, and Fleur DeForce. So I went to their Superdrug and Boots just to see what they got. and I also tried the No.7 skin shade matcher designed by Lisa Eldridge. and of course I went to a French pharmacie to check out their skincare products.
There was one thing that I targeted when I knew I was going to Paris: Bioderma. I was super excited when I saw it on the pharmacy's shelf! Also, I grabbed a La Roche Posay sunscreen. I know it is sold worldwide but I just felt like getting it. But the pharmacy consultant was a **&%$#^ and was not helpful at alllll! I asked what was the difference between melt-in cream and the dry touch version of the sunscreen and she said they're the same! just the phrasing. so I got the melt-in cream. and hampeh kuang hasam when I got back I read the FAQ sheet inside the box and it said that the melt-in cream was for normal to dry skin. so, screw you unhelpful French pharmacy lady. and have I mentioned that I hated Paris?
Okay back to the post, here are the rest of the beauty items that I purchased.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua ( €31.50)
Shade BR 52 the darkest shade available at the airport store. I love the scent. Lightweight but buildable. Everything that the makeup people raved on. The price there is equivalent to $40 ish while it sells for $45 in the US (not including tax). Cheap!
Chanel Coco Rouge in 25 Vendome (€24)
Tom Ford Blush in 03 Flush
The sad thing is I wanted to buy a Tom Ford lipstick in Indian Rose too but it was sold out at Harrod's. and I can'r find it elsewhere :(
Bourjois Blush in 33 Lilas d'Or - Golden Lily
Rimmel Appocalips in Celestial
Here are all the swatches from left to right: Vitalumiere Aqua, Rouge Coco, Tom Ford, Bourjois, and Rimmel.
