Across the pond

Unfortunately for me, I have really gotten into UK bloggers lately. I say unfortunately because it turns out that those clever British folk are really on their game when it comes to drug store (aka high street) cosmetics. Usually I would just go on over to ebay and buy whatever UK products I'm currently craving but there's some sort of crazy law that has passed to protect French cosmetics and perfumes from counter fitting (or something) and LONG STORY SHORT all cosmetics have been blocked from my viewing on ebay. *Deep breath*
Lucky for me, my dear friend Erica is currently in France doing a summer program because she's an opera singer (I know, how cool) and she's going to pop into England to (amongst other things) get me a bunch of makeup stuffs (haha).
So, ladies, here is what I asked her to look for:


  • Barry M Nail Paints in "Blue Moon" and "Mushroom"


  • Collection 200 Lasting Perfection Concealer (I have read rave reviews)




  • 17 Mirror Shine Lipsticks in "Beehive" and "Nudist Peach" (again, rave reviews)

  • Natural Collection lipstick in Apple Blossom (these are under £2!!)
  • Bourjois Blush in Rose Coup de Foudre (right) (supposed to be comparable to NARS' Deep Throat)

  • Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara
  • Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (I didn't actually ask my friend to get me this because I can order it on Asos.com. It's made in the same factories as Chanel's products)


So that's my list! What do you think, UK girls, did I miss any must haves?! Have YOU ever done a UK swap? Let me know!

p.s. I got all of these pictures from google images and do not intend to claim that any of these are mine. If I have your picture and you want me to take it down please let me know! :)
