Duty Free & Portuguese Pharmacy Buys




Duty Free. A beauty lovers heaven right? Well I'm no different and I loved the chance of exploring Heathrow's Terminal One duty free area, just to kill time obviously... In this instance I hit the Chanel stand. I've read a lot of reviews about Chanel 'Les Beiges' powder and being a fan of powder in general I thought it was worth a look at. Not to mention my MAC pressed powder is nearly on its way out, so what better time to invest in a new one? Not only does this give me the perfect finish over my t-zone but it smells gorgeous!? Kind of like the Chanel Chance perfume which my mum wears so this just reminds me of her now and is making her consider investing!

Next the La Roche-Posay Solution Micellaire Physiologique which was bought after a trip to a pharmacy in Portugal. This was a completely unexpected buy as we went to pick up some antibiotics for my brother and I was wow'd by the amount of French products available! Maybe this shouldn't have been a surprise as it is in Europe after all... I was planning on stocking up on Bioderma but it was way more expensive than buying it in England (€18!!!!), so I thought I'd venture on to new pastures in the millecleare world and give this a try.

Finally the Clarins Toning Lotion in Camomile, this was bought on the ferry home from Portugal in their itsy bitsy duty free (Brittany Ferries take note - it could do with a bit more than two stands of make up). Whilst I've been quite content with the effects of Liz Earle's Skin Boost Tonic on a morning I find that I need something a bit more moisturising on an evening to help my skin overnight. This fits the bill so far, adding extra moisture and leaving my skin super soft, even in the morning!
