memmymooch Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Really trivial in the grander scheme of things but I really like Boots stuff num 7 face creams make up etc don't think they're about in oz? Just wondering what good brands other ladies are using and if mega expensive oh and do face creams have higher SPF there mem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I miss Boots here. So no No.7 but plenty of the other regonisable brands. There are Department Stores here with large cosmetic sections but also the Pharmacies/Chemists are like mini Boots imo. Last New Year in the sales while still in the UK i bought some make up called Natio on sale in Debenhams, not bad stuff and since being here have realised that it is an Aussie brand. Prices here are more or less the same for creams, make up etc but i was used to doing a yearly stock up in the sales in the UK, buying up all the half price xmas sets and the like but when i went to do it here this year none of it was on sale, so i would say if your moving over, get out to the sales now and stock up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindor Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I paid $44 for a Bobbi Brown lipstick in Perth last year, £16 here! So I'm definitely stocking up on a few things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapri Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Cheap and nasty tho No it's not. It's a good mid- range brand for those who don't want the designer stuff. Although I generally use Lancome cosmetics, I have a few No 7 bits which do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petals Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I remember my Dad Electrician working in a cosmetics factory one time, said all the creams come down the line and go into different pots for different brands. Anything that I am not allergic to does me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anika Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I haven't had to buy any make-up here yet but I have had a look around to see what the prices are like and I definitly won't be replacing my L'oreal powder when it's empty as it costs a lot more here but there are other alternatives, like Covergirl which do a good range. I did buy myself MAC foundation at Heathrow before I left as I knew it would most certainly be out of my price range over here :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
