My boyfriend is in Paris right now and he'll be going to London at the end of the week. He'll be flying out of Heathrow. He asked me if I wanted him to bring back anything that I cannot get here and must have (heehee). So, ladies, please help me compile a list of things I simply "must have." Smile

I know I want the Innoxa drops, but was wondering how much they cost in Paris (as I can get them on eBay).

TIA!

I just don't think duty free is a cheap as it used to be. perhaps it is because I can buy so cheaply now on ebay?
I must add that Heathrow is cheapest for Gordons gin heheh Embarassed

To be honest, I found it just as cheap (if not cheaper) and easier to find things in the normal French shops than in duty-free. (Although we can't use them anymore, now that we're all Europeans.)

London (and the UK in general) is horrendously expensive for everything.

Thanks for the input. Yep, I know from my travels that things are not necessarily cheaper in duty-free. I just want him to snatch me some Helena Rubinstein lip glosses (Smile), as they no longer have HR counters here in the States. I'll have him pick up Caudalie, Innoxa, and sunscreens from the Paris pharmacies.

Wondering about some UK brands that I cannot get here... But indeed, London is very expensive.

Take a look on the boots.com site. There are Boots stores everywhere in the UK and they generally sell loads of stuff.

Also, you might want to look into:
Molton Brown
Organic Pharmacy
REN (I think that definitely is cheaper over here in the UK)
Neal's Yard Remedies

That's all I can think of for the moment, but will add anything else if I remember.

Thank you so much, majorb! That was quite helpful and you jogged my memory Organic Pharmacy and Ren being less expensive there. Smile
