Buy makeup from all over the world!!

I’m fascinated with international skincare & cosmetics.  I am.  And some of these brands you can buy right at your local drugstore!  Or with a few clicks, have them sent right to your mailbox.  And why keep using the same brands?  I’ve mentioned this before, but there’s just something i.e. about using Johnsons & Johnsons that just so.. boring.  Why not get something exotic that you’ll love, & that your friends will envy?

Here I will list a sampling of items from different countries that you can buy:

France:

2B Colours Nail Polish Duo, $3

How cute is this?  Newly featured in the US, this Belgian line has a wide spectrum of makeup.  They have lipstick, eyeliners, blush, bronzers, nail polish & much more!  They also feature these cute 2 little polishes that have a lid that snaps them both on together.  Formula X has that as well, but at a higher price.  The great thing about these is that they make it so much easier for travel.  The lid ensures that they’re closed on tight, & won’t be leaking inside your bag.  Or check out the rest of their products here!

Add some culture to your makeup!  It’s not just about using only Revlon or Cover Girl.  I will say that in my travels, I have picked up all kinds of things, from clothes to makeup & accessories.  And the great thing is I can honestly say that I have a sampling of things from all over the world.  And you?  You have the access right at your fingertips!!
