Oh no, I can purchase the colors sold in States, I put those in my basket, and no red flags went up. I then tossed in the banned lipstick colors, and those got kicked. I have purchased lipsticks from Selfridges before. It is nail polish, perfume that can't be sent. Which cracks me up. HTF does NM, Saks, whomever get these products over here to sell???? Ah duh, doubt they come by boat, and doubt there has been a bridge built to cross the Atlantic. No wait, they drive across Russia and China, then to the outer islands of Alaska, bring through Canada to the States. I might be blonde, but I solved the mystery. Yes, I am a true blonde, the carpet matches the drapes....but I figured this out!!!!! Plus the lipgloss Tiara not sold here, I can purchase from Selfridges, along with Forbidden Pink from TF. Since those were in my cart too, and went through.
