My brother recently visited Poland and Germany and I asked him to pick me up a selection of cosmetics from brands that I can not easily source in the UK and he did really well, I can honestly say that the majority of it is items that I would have picked up myself without any hesitation and the others well it;s nice to try something new every once and a while isn't it?
I am now in Spain on holiday but I will also purchase some Spanish brands to review with the above items to add a little international beauty flare to The Sunday Girl. I also have a sizeable Spanish swap in the pipeline with the lovely Papish so it does look like the month of August will be the time for trying brands from further a field!
Is there a country that intrigues you beauty wise? I know that I want to explore Asian brands next,
what about you?
Oooh, those look awesome, especially the souffle touch blush!
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking to swap for Asian brands, I would love to swap with you! :) I'm from Malaysia btw, and we do get all sorts of Asian brands here including Japanese and especially Korean. ^^

I love Catrice and Essence. The Catrice nailpolishes are very good as well.
ReplyDeleteAsian brands definitely interest me! The packaging is just so adorable. And it looks like your brother did a very good job of picking things out! xx
ReplyDeleteOOh exciting love being introduced to new brands. I am really interested in French Skincare at the moment, and I love the emphasis that Asian beauty products place on skincare over make up! Looking forward to reading about your Spanish finds - going in a few weeks so need recommendations!

I´m from Spain and we use a lot Essence and Catrice, the cosmetics are made in Germany but is a Spanish company, we also use a lot Flormar and Kiko Make Up, these are Italian cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteI love German brands, they are really good and inexpensive!
ReplyDeleteI had the same soufflé blush, but I've thrown it away. The colour was to glibbery and one could barely notice it on my fair skin.
ReplyDeleteThe essence palette is a win, though!
(I'm from Austria. If you're ever interested in any other essence or catrice make up stuff, we could arrange a change! :-))
Nice items, and also very brave from your brothers to help u I think the majority of the guys would say NO, I don't want anybody see me buying chick stuff
ReplyDeleteare these any goood? I've got a friend in Poland, so could always source these for me! :)

ReplyDeleteThe Soft Touch Blushes are very difficult to apply properly. The german bloggers hate them. ;)
But the Catrice Lipsticks are aweseome and I am sure you will have a joyfull time with it! Wich colur is it? (I am courius, and maybe I own it myself.)
I recently did a post on German skincare... I'm heading to Berlin in a few weeks time, will look forward to scouting out some make up products such as Essence!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Germany too and LOVE Catrice and Essence!
ReplyDeleteSomeone said before but I'd love to look into Korean cosmetics a bit more. I love the shop Skin Food.
