Cosmetic Advice

Hi all,

I saw a couple of beauty products in an article in the Metro this morning that I would like to purchase (on pay day!):

Estee Lauder Stress Relief Face Mask
Chanel Hydra Serum
Chanel Universal Bronze
Secret Brightening Powder by Laura Mercier
NARS Cream blush in Penny Lane
Yves St Laurent concealer

Now I’m not going to buy them all, so I was wondering if anyone uses any of them and if they find them good/bad? Was also wondering if there was any website I could use to buy them online? Had a quick look on google but couldn’t find anywhere with those brands.

Any help appreciated!

Yep in Dublin but was hoping to get them cheaper online...

You can get Nars on hqhair.com I think. Other good websites are feelunique.com and lookfantastic.com. It's difficult to get the top brands cheaper but strawberrynet.com sometimes has stuff.

I have the Chanel bronzer and I love it. It's a mousse type texture which looks odd if you're used to powder bronzer but it goes on really well and you can use it all year round. They sell a brush for it but I just bought a kabuki brush in Boots and it goes on perfectly. I normally use good brushes eg Mac, Bobbi Brown, Sephora but for a cheapie this is great. I use Nars Laguna in the summer but it's too dark for winter so the Chanel is perfect.

Thanks for the replies guys, I will defo get the Chanel bronzer. Anyone have rough idea of the prices of any of the items? Might make a trip to Brown Thomas on Saturday to buy 1 or 2 of them not having much luck online!

I think the Chanel bronzer was pricey enough - €40 plus maybe. I don't think you could ever actually use all of it, it's huge. I've had it about a year and a bit (I'm not throwing it out it cost too much!) and there's barely anything gone out of it.
