I was in Chatham Kent today and I went to the dockside factory outlet, and they have a discount cosmetics shop there called All Wellan Good. This shop stocks a reasonable amount of NYX cosmetics ie: eyeshadow trios, lipgloss, blushes, nail varnish, eye and lip pencils, makeup brushes etc.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone as im new to this forum.

hello!

ooooooh! i live near chatham, well.. ish. I've never been to dockside before, my friend said that store is full of rubbish brands but obviously not! what else do they sell?

[pinknatpink]

They pretty much sell stuff you can get in boots or superdrug like max factor, revlon etc just at a discounted price. I just mentioned it because of the NYX stuff really as ive never seen it for sale anywhere else in the UK. Its not a bad price either (eyeshadow trios are £4.79) which was another thing that surprised me.

[pinknatpink]

I live in Margate in thanet, its not very good here for shopping, westwood cross is right by me but its useless for makeup shopping its only got a boots and debenhams. I usually go into canterbury for my mac stuff but sometimes go to bluewater (i prefer the counter in house of fraser to fenwicks in canterbury) Ashford has got a new shopping centre, i havent been there yet, have you been? if so whats it like?

In the Netherlands you can buy drugstorebrands at DA, Kruidvat, Trekpleister, Etos and other drugstores.

High end makeup at Douglas (some even with MAC counters!) Ici Paris and we got Sephora

[Amaranthine_a]

Where i can buy Urban Decay Primer Potion in Italy?
The brand isn't available at Sephora for my country, i prefer don't buy any cosmetical supplies on ebay, i'm looking for a good e-shop or similar. Somebody bought cosmetics from Asos?

[emeraldjewels]

I have looked on the boots website but they only have a small selection of eyeshadow colours.

I there anywhere else I can buy them from??

[Claire84]

Hey! If you've to buy online, try Beauty Cosmetics & Fragrances : HQhair.com Hair & Skin Care Products : Hair & Beauty . They have the whole collection.

[ritchieramone]

I'm nowhere near a Boots which stocks UD, so I usually buy from HQHair.com
Beauty Cosmetics & Fragrances : HQhair.com Hair & Skin Care Products : Hair & Beauty

There used to be a UD counter in my local Debenhams but it disappeared. Perhaps it's still stocked in other Debenhams stores?

Oops - Claire84 can type faster than me!

[emeraldjewels]

oooh thanks guys i'll check out HQHair

[anti_starlet8]

Debenhams is where I get mine but that's on Oxford St so they may carry more lines. HQ Hair is probably the best place to get it from

[Luceuk]

I use HQ Hair too.

[glam8babe]

i just go to Boots, i like to look at everything and swatch them
but they dont sell it in my Boots.. so i usually have to go to the big one in Newcastle or Middlesbrough

[JoeyEmma]

I've been looking for Giorgio Armani in Manchester. They've finally got one in Selfridge's Trafford Centre, so I'm gonna go and try out their foundations.

[kittykit]

Here in Prague, you can get those drugstore brands at stores like DM, Rossmann and Schlecker.

High-end brands are always available at Sephora (the store at Novy Smichov and Paladium shopping malls are the only Sephora in Prague that carries Smashbox - they're extremely expensive here). The one at Paladium has Too Faced. Douglas (the main one in the city center at Wenceslas Square) sells Armani, Bobbi Brown and lots more.

That's all I can think about at the moment I shop at Sephora most of the time.

Hi UK girls! I thought I'd let you know of a discovery I made the other day. I was at an outlet shopping centre and went in the Designer Room.
And to my shock I saw a whole NYX makeup stand, I couldn't believe it as I've never seen it in the UK before. They also sold brushes on the counter.

I've had a look online and the Designer Room seems to be at most McArthurGlen group outlet centres.

The trios were £4.60, some eyeshadow brushes were around £2.50 as well as the jumbo eye/lip pencils.

Hope this helps!

[lunamaris]

Hi!
1. Does anybody know where I can get O.P.I nail polish in Vienna/Austria? I wish we had more brands here..

Thank you

2. Just wanted to share, that at the Parndorf Outlet near Vienna they have older MAC Collections, Bobbi Brown, etc.

It was one in Wales called Ebbw Vale festival park. It was not a very good outlet centre as it hasn't many shops, but I thought I'd visit as it had been advertised. NYX was great to see! But they have the store Designer Room at many outlet centres including Ashford in London but I haven't been able to look there.

I don't know if this should go here or in the NARS forum, but I wanted to tell the girls in the UK my news, haha. Went into Reading (Berkshire) today and in the John Lewis there they had a NARS stand! I used to always have to go into London to get my NARS fix or get it from the website, but this makes me so so happy. I'm hoping they'll start putting more counters into John Lewis'. (Plus, if you're like me and work for the JL Partnership - discount!)
Just thought I'd let you know since I'm psyched about this, lol.
