Girl's stuff forum

Post new topic

sssandy

Hey, i was thinking it would be great to create a separate subject related to girl's stuff. Expats girls can share their opinions and advices that are related to shopping, beauty, cosmetics brands,  where and what to buy, women's health.

I believe it would be very useful. 


My 1st question:

Are the cosmetics like L'oreal, Olay, Avene, that can be found in pharmacy are same good quality like these from Europe? To be hones- got a face cream Olay in Cairo "Mady in Ireland" and have to say that that it was different than the one i used to use in Europe(colour, smell)didn't like it. Please advice

I like the idea of a girl's only forum, but having to keep in mind that the stuff we could be asking about might widely differ depending on our locations and origins. Sure, some things might be widely available at most places while others might not and might be much harder to find.

As for make up, I am really missing Cover Girl cosmetics in Egypt as well as 'my' Dove Cream Oil body lotion and Hair conditioners...
