Beauty Product Secrets from France?

[Stylelostinlabour]

Hi
We are off travelling round France next week and I'd love to stock up on some French Beauty Products while travelleing around.

What would people recommend and where to get the best products from?

Thanks

You need Bonsoir! I would go to Monoprix, Marionnaud and chemists.

Thanks for the suggestion will add to the list!

Caudalie products are gorgeous - sold here in Space NK but are about half the price in France.

Yves Rocher - they have shops in most French towns. Its great to see the stuff - its only mail order here.
Have always meant to check if Gatineau products are cheaper.

Oh great will add to list

Ooh, any pharmacy will be hours of fun! Both Phyto & Klorane hair products are fab & cheaper there. The Phyto hair masque is really good.

Go to any pharmacy or, better, a large parapharmacy, where they sell lots of beauty products that are exclusive ie not sold in supermarkets or in cosmetics chains (Sephora etc).

Brands I love: Bioderma (especially the Créaline Eau Micellaire - the world's best cleanser that miraculously lessens wrinkles - I swear!), Caudalie, Nuxe, Avène, Aderma. Ask for advice for your skin type from the pharmacist, who will be knowledgeable and fully trained.
