I'm on hols in US. What goodies shall I buy in the drugstore that I can't get at home?

[smartyparts]

I'm thinking crest whitening strips so far. I have already bought that new Maybellline liquidy eyeliner here - marvellous!
What else?

ooh - lucky you. I'd get the Maybelline 'primer' for a lovely smooth foundation base (much cheaper than here) and the infusium range of shampoo/conditioner/leave in treatment. It is the only thing that has ever rendered my hair vaguely manageable..

I saw that hair range the other day. My hair could do with some tlc as the sun has rendered it like straw already.

May be a convert to maybelline after the eyeliner, which I can't stop putting on!

If you are in Target there's make up brushes that are supposed to be out of this world. Sonya Kushak I think. As good as Macs for pennies they say.

Ooh mace sounds good!

Saw a rifle for sale for $299 the other day, did ponder over logistics of getting it home..

Buy Maybelline brown/black waterproof mascaras - not available here. And all the US based products are much much cheaper (Covergirl, Loreal, Revlon, Maybelline).

do they sell smashbox stuff?

Isn't Aveeno only available/cheaper in the US?

placenta conditioner.

my american ex-sil swears by it

Wet n Wild lip liners, lippies and glosses.

Neosporin gel.

CoverGirl makeup.

Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser.

Coppertone Sports sunscreen.

I'm headed back at the beginning of July and have a list a mile long already.

You can get some Aveeno here, jabber, but not the same range and only in small bottles that are £££.

milk duds

oh sorry, didn't realise I was in S & B
will leave immediately

Aveeno do a spray on Factor 85 or Factor 50 - is great for the kids - I cleaared the CVS out of it near our hotel yesterday - is $9 in CVS and you can't get it in the UK we had to have it shipped in from Isreal last year and that wasn;t the new improved one which you can spray onto wet skin.

Infact bring 100 cans back - you will make a fortune on Ebay!!

That Johnson's lotion baby oil stuff, too. It rocks.

Almay moisturizing mascara in Brown Black, and can you bring me back a dozen or so too?

OPI nail lacquer for $10 a bottle -- or even less.

Yes, the Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes at Target are quite good.

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste.

Essie nail polish. $8 there. About £10 here.

not makeup stuff, but band aid plasters that look like they are made of duct tape are AMAZING - I just stocked up on 3 boxes of them last week in the US :o

also orabase - it's like a paste version of bonjela, which forms a seal over a mouth ulcer. best treatment for mouth ulcers I've ever used. can't find an eqivalent here!

Hydro-cortizone cream. It really is magic cream!!

Kiehls stuff - any of it! It is fantastic and pretty expensive over here. I love their lipglosses and hair serum.

Ooh yes Essie - I bought loads here last time. And they used to sell Jessica nail polish in Walgreens ridiculously cheap, but no more.

Right thanks all, I have a good list, am off to procure!

Sadly, my dh has a kitchenaid obsession and fills up our cases with graters/gadgets so I can't go too crazy.

Large jars of paracetomel - none of this "no more than 12" in one go.

Placenta conditioner? Really?

What are milk duds? Dcs had 'dippin dots' yesterday, is that similar?

Am quite tempted to seek out a bit of Botox here too. Have been toying with idea at home - bound to be cheaper here!

chocolate chewy caramels, I think by Hershey. Yellow packet.
don't know what dippin dots are!

melatonin. it will help with the jetlag. you can't buy it here
