I'm from London but before Christmas I went to the USA on holiday. This is what I got....
At Heathrow Airport:
MAC Greasepaint stick - the Style Black one (I was amazed they still had these left)
MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer NW20 (I'm NC25 really but I like NW under eyes... this is maybe a bit heavy but hey it was 6am when I bought it)
YSL Rouge Volupte #8 Fetish Pink
Sephora San Francisco:
Nars Glitter Pencil Danceteria
Nars Aigle Noir pencil
Korres Guava Lipstick Red 55 (AMAZING...and cheaper in the USA)
Smiths Rosebud Salve (which I've now lost)
Sephora-OPI What's A Tire Jack Matte
Sephora-OPI Metro Chic
Samples: Nars Primer, Clarins Multi-Active Jour
MAC:
Studio Stick Foundation in NC25
Holiday Pigment Kit Sexpot/Smoky
(both cheaper in the USA)
Drugstores:
L'Oreal HIP Kohls in Navy, Brown, Burgundy
L'Oreal HIP Cream liner in Brown
Sephora Las Vegas:
Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Moist Glow in Nuelle
Samples: Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX05 and SX07 (I didn't know what shade I was...but the girl gave me such generous samples that I don't think I'll ever need to buy it - like, a quarter of a pot each!)
At Las Vegas airport:
Strivectin gift set - moisturiser, eye cream, serum (from a Sephora vending machine, no less!)
At San Francisco Airport:
Sephora-OPI I'm Wired
Sephora-OPI High Maintenance
Sephora-OPI In the Shadows
Sample: Lash Fusion XL Mascara
And after security...
YSL Rouge Volupte #2 Nude Beige
Pretty pleased with all that. The Korres lipstick and the generous Sephora samples are real high points. Wish we still had Sephora over here - they pulled out of the UK about 4 years ago and don't ship internationally, even from French stores. I'm not sure I like the Rouge Voluptes - nice consistency but overpowering smell...and not worth the cash outside of an airport I reckon.
