Have you been overseas and seen something interesting? Maybe a brand or stores we dont get over here caught your eye. How was your first Sephora? What did you think of Saks? Did you find an amazing $1 lip balm in Bali?
If you are heading (or getting back from) overseas why not write us a short article about your beauty experiences.

I will attempt to write something about my experiences in Europe earlier this year.
I had an Eve Lom Facial in an Eve Lom Boutique, Visited Perfume factories in Paris, made my own perfume (which really isn't that nice) Discovered a few new brands I hadn't heard of , bought fragrances by people I had never previously heard of.
Oh and I also visited Australia's first Chanel Beauty Boutique in Sydney a few months ago.
Is that sort of thing suitable content for an article?

Spot on! I can contact the Chanel PR and see if we can get some pics to go with the article if you decide to go ahead with it.

Maybe give me some ideas of where I can go!!
I have Germany for 6 days...then I will be in London for 2 - my bestie will be working so I wll have the days to explore. Then Paris, and Rome. Then Athens and Greece for the week. Any suggestions would be great!
I will be travelling to Thailand in November/December - not sure what's there or what to expect, but if I find anything I'll report back! It's ages away though!

Loolabelle you are so lucky!! Germany as you probably know is the home of Dr Hauschka, Weleda, Tautropfen and loads of other organic lovelies. Go to health food stores and pharmacies and you'll get these ranges so cheap. I'm sure if you googled Dr Hauschka you could find where you could visit the Dr Hauschka gardens where they grow all their own ingredients biodynamically (if you're into that). As for London as you've already mentioned Space Nk is fab and Selfridges department store is fantastic for high end through to natural, organic skincare (they have so many different ranges and loads of new ranges are added all the time). I haven't been to Paris but i've heard it a mecca for all things skincare and beauty. Nuxe have a spa there, as do Caudalie. One French range that is totally natural and just gorgeous is called Doux Me. Its got no nasties in it and is full of cold pressed oils and essential oils. Doux Me's lip balm is one of the best i've ever used. Not sure where its stocked in Paris but i know Liberty department store in London stock it. Sorry to rant on and on but i looove finding new skincare ranges when i'm travelling. Hope you enjoy your travels.. :waving:

That's great KitKat! Holiday?
The only time you have to worry about the 100ml rule is if you intend to carry this in your hand luggage. If you are packing them in your suitcase you can buy any size.
