I've heard of it. There are a couple of companies that offer this service. I will probably seriously consider it when I am in a better pace financially, so I can shop from all the great Gilt sales I am constantly drooling over. But like Lou said, they, of course since it is a business, charge you a fee and they are also honest on customs forms. So the extra costs add up.

oooh what are Gilt sales? i like sales. or looking at sales. haha

Do we know if the pigments will be eyesafe?

we don't know for sure yet. however i think it would be silly if they weren't considering the colours. i mean the majority of users wouldn't buy them to apply on lips and cheeks! whereas a pigment like rose alot of people would use on face and lips. if that makes sence.

Yeah it would be silly if they were not eyesafe! I know some people don't mind the fact, but I do and that's why I always want to know if something is eyesafe. I can't wait to see the swatches so I could make my final list!

Anyone know any sites like the one mentioned above that ship from Europe to America?

i don't think they go from Europe to the states... however maybe try and google a company that does?

 

[laylalovesmac]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but will these be available online? The MAC store where I live has the rudest people under employment so I prefer to go to my counter.... Later pigment is definitely worth it, but I would rather order online... If anyone knows, that would be helpful. I am only asking because the post that was linked said MAC retail stores and select places internationally...

I'm sorry I don't. But I am really curious, what interesting things have you found that ship only in Europe?

Thanks- I will do almost anything to avoid snooty attitudes so this is great!

I'm a huge Hello Kitty fan and there are brands/items sold in other countries that aren't sold in the USA that I've been dying to get my hands on.

Something this simple like Maybelline I can't get my hands on!

OMG!!! i need that mascara! where is it from??

 

[InspiredBlue]

How cute is that Hello Kitty Maybelline mascara!

If it were sold here, I'd totally buy just for the packaging.

 

[LMD84]

Customs forms always confuse me. I ALWAYS put gift...it's not a commercial sample, and it's not a document. Who even knows what a "other" is. I guess since I always give a freebie, it qualifies as a gift!

No, seriously. What am I SUPPOSED to be putting on there?

I'm really hoping to try full n soft when I'm in the US, it's meant to be amazing

I like Covergirl mascara--would you guys say Maybelline is better? The one thing I don't spend an arm and a leg on is mascara.
