Must buy NY beauty stuff............

[bodycolder]

Any tips for a beauty product junkie who is going to NY for a week at half term?Last time I was there was 20 yrs ago and I didn't need face stuff!

bump

benefit stuff is ace. i went to NY, although it was 7 years ago, i went with a whole list of stuff i wanted, but it was the same price as here . but i suppose with the exchange rate as it is, it will be cheaper for you.
kheils ,spelt wrong i know, is also ment to be excellent, and there is a whole shop there, but i just cant bring myself to pay £14 for a small bottle of body cream.
and just be careful about bringing the stuff back!! it was on the radio today, about how the customs are getting stricter about bringing goods back. even just like facial stuff and make up. the lady on the radio said they could tell, if something was bought over there, and not took with them.

when i went, i chucked all the boxes and receipts, and then could argue that i took it with me, if i was stopped. but this lady was saying, they can tell if something was new

anything!
NARS, Lancome, Urban Decay

clinique is great value

Laura Mercier as well

oh and mac!!
they also have all those fun brands, like pout.

get yourself to a sephora, grab a basket and go mad! It's like a girly sweetshop.

I would buy terax crema. Also the Aveeno range is really rated over there.

For hints you could try the instyle magazine website, they have their best beauty buys on there and alot of them of aren't available over here.

oh, and philisophy!!!! i just bought their pink lemonade hand cream, and it is really lovely. it was £14 here and will last ages. their shower gels are beautiful, but are quite heavy to bring back. i would have the whole range if i could.

the sephora shops are heaven for girls like me who love this stuff. their own brand make up is really good, in all the colours of the rainbow, but never tried their facial products.
also there was a chemist type shop called dwayne something or other. it was abit like our superdrug. me and my mum got loads of things from there, tweezerman tweezers, carmex cream, maybelline was cheap. opi nail varnish, really good make up brushes too.

god, wish i was going
