Make up brand - catalogue (maybe French?)

I'm trying to remember a brand of make up that I loved in the late 90s early 2000s maybe. It was in a catalogue and they had loads of money off deals (so it was expensive if you only bought one thing, but cheap if you ordered lots!) as well as freebies of make up bags etc.
I used an apricot primer moisturiser that I miss so much!

Yves Rocher?

Was it Yves Rocher?

Gatekeeper · 31/08/2023 17:33

Either Yves Rocher or Agnes B

TheLongGloriesOfTheWinterMoon · 31/08/2023 17:38

Actually, I think it was Agnès B with the apricot cult product.

Nopeasinapasty · 31/08/2023 17:39

Agnes B. Loved it!

Yes, I remember it well. Definitely Agnes B. I've still got a make up bag from there. I feel it was more 90s than 2000s.

Agnes B! Thank you. I miss it.

Les Createurs de Beauté. They sold Agnes B make-up and Cosmence skincare. I loved it too.

Oh I loved the Agnes B catalogue. Those were the days!! If I remember rightly they had actual vouchers that you had to cut out and out in the envelope with your order - those were the days 😂

Pierre Ricaud was another one.

That apricot Agnes B cream was incredible, anyone know of any dupes?

WhoppingBigBackside · 01/09/2023 15:09

I remember it.

I'd completely forgotten about Agnes B! I had a brilliant blusher from there.

Loved the Agnes B Rose shower gel. Smelt like Turkish Delight but not as sweet. I remember the Apricot cream!

Thingsthatgo · 03/09/2023 15:32

I'd be interested in a dupe too, if anyone finds one. I liked that it was moisturising without being shiny, and it made my skin illuminated but it didn't have any pearlescent or sparkle. (Or maybe I'm just remembering my skin in my 20s Vs in my 40s Grin)

Agnes B was excellent. L'Oréal closed it about a decade ago.

WhereAreWeNow · 03/09/2023 17:57

I remember the rose shower gel @Deathraystare . I had completely forgotten about it but you mentioning it has just given me an olfactory flashback!

WhereAreWeNow · 03/09/2023 17:58

In terms of dupes, I don’t think they do an apricot cream but I feel like Bourjois has a similar vibe and aesthetic in general to that catalogue.

SmilesStreet · 11/01/2025 02:38

I have also been looking for this since like 2001 ,… sobs,.. thought it was yvesrocher but had forgotten all about Agnes B, definitely it,.. just seeing it brought a tear to my eye… I order this gonna try, fingers crossed it’s similar… ugh 😣
