Zoeva, Sleek and Visart! I wish we could just go into Sephora or Ulta and buy them without the hassle of trying to figure out monetary conversions, paying through the teeth for intn’l shipping and such, fear of damage in transit from overseas, and being able to swatch them before we buy them. I am down with that in a heartbeat, I tell you!
Viseart is easily found online in the US– Camera Ready Cosmetics has many of the eyeshadow palettes and Muse Beauty has the few that they don’t have. They are always marked $80/palette no matter where I’ve seen them.
Sleek can be easily gotten through Amazon, though every single one I’ve ever gotten has had at least one shadow broken in transit. For $12, not too bad, but still…
Neve Cosmetics, an Italian brand.
I wish we had Tom Ford, Sigma, Morphie, Physicians Formula, Cover Girl, EOS, Becca, OCC, Dose of colors, Charlote Tilberry, Ardell, and Seche Vite here in Brazil. Everything is so expensive, takes months to arrive and the government taxation is ridiculous (67% on all imported cosmetics) and the conversion in for ever 1 dollar we spend 3 reals. So if a Revon lipstick is 10 dollars, I pay 30+67% = $50,00. Sad, but true. Sniff sniff!
I feel your pain Rachel! I live in Argentina (but am originally from the US). I never buy makeup here because either the brands I like don’t exist here, or they are too expensive! I will occasionally buy makeup from the drugstore like Maybelline, L’oreal or Revlon, but I try to only do that when they are having some sort of sale. Luckily, I go to the US to visit family and friends 1-2 times a year, so I stock up then!
WOW I’m so sorry! Thats just crazy!!
Whoa, I just came to say I really like the new layout. If there are any brands that I can’t get ahold of lately, I probably don’t even know they exist. Besides that, I wish Illamasqua were easier to get a hold of in the U.S.
Max Factor!
I also want to add Stargazer. Dirt cheap, highly pigmented, and “unconventional” shades. I’ve only been able to try a handful of things, but what I have is incredible.
I’d like to see Illamasqua return, and be given another chance.
YES! I am such a doofus, I forgot about Max Factor!
Not sure where you live but if you’re in the U.S. you might be able to find some Max Factor products at Marshalls! 🙂
I would love to have Max Factor back in the US!
Yeah what happened to them? They haven’t been here for years!
Oh my god I have a thousand answers for this one! You have such limited brands in India it makes me sad. I’m into drugstore makeup so I really wish we had ELF, NYX, Wet ‘n Wild. Besides those, The Balm, Sleek, Stila and Tarte.
Coastal Scents. I love, love, love their eye shadows, so far every single one has been absolutely fantastic, but the shipping costs to Europe make me weep. o.o So I only order once per year, when everything is 50% off on Black Friday. Would be lovely if a German retailer would pick up their products … ♥
I really want to try more Asian brands –the skincare is cutting edge, and the makeup has such cute packaging and unusual products. A few brands (Dr. Jart, Belief, Tony Moly) are starting to sell through Sephora/Ulta/Urban Decay, but it’s only a limited selection of their products. I think Etude just started shipping directly to USA. But I think the Asian brands will expand into the USA, as the market is too big to ignore and there is a lot of interest in their products.
I second this! Asian brands are fun but hard to find here.
Actually they’ve become pretty accessible these days through Amazon, eBay, and various other retailers… I’m a Korean beauty blogger and I actually have a mega post on how to buy Kbeauty in the west, but not sure if it would be rude to link. If you’re curious, I’m on the front page of Google search results if you search “tg2kb retailers”
BeautyNetkorea is a great site or membox
Tarte, NYX, Shu Uemura, Urban Decay, Kat Von D, Hourglass, Stila, Milani, Sonia Kashuk. (Denmark)
Du kan sagtens købe Urban Decay i Danmark 😉
Suqqu!!
Nars hands down!
NARS for sure and then Urban Decay, Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford and Burberry! And maybe Color POP. Reading such good stuff about them but they are so inaccessible.
I live in Norway, and there are so many brands we don’t have here. I miss Becca, Hourglass, Nars, Kat von D, Lorac, Too Faced, Charlotte Tilbury, Rimmel, Revlon, Bourjois, Barry M and Covergirl to name some. I wish Coloupop would ship to Norway too.
Colourpop! Start shipping to europe already 🙁
I miss Too Faced so much, here, in Belgium !!!
Lorac, Tarte, Bite Beauty, Urban Decay, Zoeva. And I can go on 🙂
Mark jacobs beauty and colorpop and… becca aaaand hourglass lol
NYX, Hourglass, BiteBeauty and the list can go on and on !
As someone living in the US here are my (many) picks:
#1 would definitely be Bourjois. Their Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and
Healthy Balance powder are my go-to’s. And yes, I can get some of their stuff online but I’d love to be able to browse in person the way I did when I was in Canada for university, as well as have the full range available.
More La Rochy-Posay products. I miss the serum I used to use from them.
I also want to check out the Barry M nail polishes.
Soap and Glory makeup! I’m not big on their skincare (too scent-heavy for me) but I really want to get my hands on some of their cosmetics.
Others: Sleek (in person, not just online), Fairydrops (ViviannaDoesMakeup has me dying to try their Scandal Queen mascara), Eyeko, Oskia, Sarah Chapman, MUA, Collection 2000, Kiko, Nailberry, La Petit Marseillais, Aesop (in person), FOA (face of Australia)
I also can’t wait until September when the CT Matte Lipsticks are available here.
Phew. I’m sure I’ll think of something else but this is a long-winded enough response.
I am a huuuuge fan of Korean cosmetics. My cousin sends me products or I order them online for myself. But I just love how they work on me and it’s a plus their products are good and their packaging is so cute.
I get things from Étude House, Lioele, Holika Holika, Jill Stewart, Tony Moly, Skinfood, and Baby Face. Haha, see the names are even cute.
It may not work for many because they’re so limited on things, but I’m just a sucker when it comes to cute things and it may just be some aesthetic when it really comes with Korean cosmetics. Their BB creams are incredible as well as their lipglosses and liptints.
I just wish Sephora would come back to the UK… They were here 10yrs ago but vanished, and now every other country in Europe has them but us! I can vouch for Barry M products though – super affordable and a great range of colours in their nail polish. The dazzle dust pots used to be a staple in my younger days when wearing glitter everywhere was still ok 🙂
ColourPop is at the top of my list in UK please if you are watching ColourPop! Love Fyrinnae too but they do ship to UK so can’t complain.
I wish Bourjois was available in the states. Had the opportunity to acquire and partake in some of the products on my trip to Europe last year, but I’ve hit pan on some of the products. I wish I would’ve bought some backups…
Where do I start?
My first pick would be NARS because of the eyeshadow base. There’s nothing better. And if they’d come to the Netherlands, they can being the Audacious lipstick in Dominique with them, please.
I also wouldnt mind if Stila, Lorac, Kat von D and Colourpop were available here…
Suqqu, BarryM, Eyeko and Bourjois!
Oops, that comment was supposed to be just a general response. :-/
Marieke, check out MAC Prep and Prime 24 hour Extend Eye Base. I have used NARS for a few years and have recently switched over to MAC for eye primer – you need the tiniest amount (because it’s a bit tacky) and I have found it has worked better than NARS for me. With NARS primer, I found my shadow would crease after about 12 hours, with MAC it was still crease free after 16. It’s a bit thicker (that’s why you only need a very tiny amount) but I feel like it “grabs” and holds onto the shadow better. One thing though, NARS has that dry, velvety feel and you can apply shadow almost immediately, but with MAC I always wait a few minutes for the tackiness to go away; if I have applied too much, I just dust all over the lid with skin colored shadow or translucent powder to set the primer. It’s a little bit of a learning curve because you really only do need the very smallest amount. I think because MAC’s is thicker it helps with lid texture also, if that’s a concern for you (it is for me – without primer, my lids are normal to oily and can look wrinkly depending on the finish of the shadow). Price wise (at least here in the states), NARS is more inexpensive – 25USD for .26 oz vs. MAC 25USD for .40 oz., so MAC may be a viable option until you can get your hands on some NARS. 🙂
Meant to say NARS was more expensive, MAC less expensive!
Thank you for the advice! I think I will give it a try once my NARS one runs out. And it is a much better deal indeed when converted to euro’s. I paid €27 for my NARS base (on holiday in Italy) and the MAC base is only €21.
Still dreaming of Dominique Audacious lipstick though..
Yes, I would love it if we had Dominique in my country… It’s a shame Sephora doesn’t carry that shade…
Anastasia Eyebrow? Would love to have that especially with their other beauty products which theyre releasing successfully
There are so many! Lorac, Kiko, Gratobian and Sleek come to mind but also Max Factor (I remember when Max Factor was available in Canada; one of the first lip glosses I had was from Max Factor and I remember that it cost $3.95!)
I can only pick one? UGH! 🙂 Seriously, there are sooooo many brands that I wish we had here. ColourPop, Hourglass, Kat Von D, LORAC, Stila, BareMinerals, Too Faced, CoverFX, Illamasqua, Charlotte Tilburry, Paula’s Choice, Paul & Joe, all of the popular Asian brands, the list goes on and on.
BarryM is a great drugstore brand! Their polishes are fab, they have a huge range of colours and finishes, and the Dazzle Dusts are fun.
I would love for Anastasia Beverly Hills to be available in Ireland, just for the brow products alone.
All we have is drugstore, MAC and Luxury Brands. There is seriously nothing in between, although Urban Decay is coming to Belgium next month or something, so at least we’ve got that. I would love to see Nars here, it’s one of my favorite brands but I don’t like ordering online 🙁
The main one coming to mind is Make Up For Ever. I like the look of a lot of their products and aside from a couple of UK sites they’re not available here. Maybe one day. 🙂
I wish we had Bourjois in the states! I know it can be ordered online, but it’s not the same.
Rouge Bunny Rouge! I know you can get it online, but I don’t know of any retailers in the U.S.
I found a little boutique about one hundred miles away from me that carried Rouge Bunny Rouge (not the whole line) and so I made the trip. Not something I’d want to get in the habit of doing but it was so nice being able to finally swatch eye shadow and try on blushes! This was in Texas but there are a scattering of stores that carry RBR, you can find them on the RBR website.
I’m from Chile and I wish Too Faced hadn’t left 🙁 And hopefully we’ll have Kat Von D (Sephora as a whole) one day.
I also had to get a MyUs account and pay really expensive shipping to order Colourpop (we’re talking about $51 for a $70 order, cheapest option, which is insane). I think I give up, no more Colourpop for me unless they start shipping worldwide.
But hey, we have Urban Decay, Inglot, and NARS now! Which makes me extremely happy! (And my pockets extremely empty!)
Kiko and ColourPop!
Makeup Atelier pro brand would be nice in states
ColourPop! I’m still (im)patiently waiting for them to announce that they’ll start shipping to Europe 😀 there are actually a lot of brands I’d like to see easily available in Belgium/Europe. Such as Josie Maran, Tarte, but also smaller brands that are US-based.
Bourjois, I want to try the healthy mix serum!
Ladurée they make the most beautiful packaging for their blushes, which are crafted to look like individual rose petals.
Oh my goodness! I’ve never even heard of this brand but took a look at their site and at the blush you mentioned! My heart actually started racing! My son is going to Hong Kong for a wedding this winter. I think I might send him with a shopping list for mom! That blush and their pressed highlight powder – so beautiful! Any idea what the prices are like (the site doesn’t list any indication at all).
They’re crazy expensive. You can get the blush on Amazon for $160. I think if you get it in Hong Kong it might convert from somewhere between $120-130.
Oh, the list goes on since I live in Finland…
Nars, Benefit, Kat von D, Becca, Tarte, Soap and Glory, Too Faced, TheBalm, Cover FX, Sephora, Lorac, It Cosmetics, Bourjois, Revlon, Collection…
Don’t get me started… Hourglass, Nars, Urban Decay, Tarte, Too Faced, Kat Von D…We got Bobbi Brown a while ago and it’s ridiculously expensive here..
I’m in the USA, Florida, specifically, and I would love to see more Asian brands become readily available – especially Korean and Japanese.
OH MAN, SO MANY. Kat Von D, Anastasia Beverly Hills, OCC, Charlotte Tilbury, Becca, Covergirl, Lorac. We don’t have any of these in Singapore!
Too many – Kat Von D, Tarte, Hourglass, Illamasqua, ColourPop, Bite, Becca, Bourjois, CoverFX…
Actually I usually don’t mind not being able to get something in store, because I do a lot of online shopping from other countries as well, and I’ve become quite good at knowing my foundation shade. But when brands don’t offer international shipping I get so frustrated, I’m so glad there’s shipping services!
Nars, Tom Ford, Illamasqua, Dolce&Gabbana, Burberry, Benefit, Make-up Forever, Kevyn Aucoin…. It would great to have Sephora in Hungary (We have only Douglas and Marrionaud.)
And Suqqu! I would love to try their products, I heard really good things about them.
Bourjois. Foundations are great (with a nice fair shade that is yellow instead of the usual pink) especially at their price point and I would like to see how the rest of the products perform. Downside to the foundations is shade selection, which seems like it caters only to white Northern Europeans.
Other brands I would like is Sleek for their eyeshadow palettes and Suqqu for brushes and makeup.
Tons! I wish they have First Aid Beauty, Origins, Sunday Riley, Tatcha, Tom Ford, Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, Burberry Beauty, Chanel (dunno why, we only get Chanel at airports!), Giorgio Armani, Kat von D, Anastasia Beverly Hills. Well, basically bring me Sephora US, please! And SpaceNK UK! LOL.. OH! Hourglass too!
I’m not sure I have a favorite makeup brand (I love so many!), so it’s hard to say what brand I wish they sold in Argentina. Basically I just wish we had an Ulta or a Sephora here!
I do wish they sold Essie nail polish here, and that OPI nail polish (which we do have here) was cheaper! I think it’s like double the price of what you would pay in the US. Because of this, I always stock up on makeup products on my annual or semi-annual trips to the US!
On the bright side, we do have Klorane here (I love their hair products) and it’s a lot cheaper than in the US…about half the price!
I would love to see some Hakuhodo build more showrooms across the US and other Asian brands as well. I see that is becoming a trend. I think Max Factor should come back too. Other than that, Zoeva is the only brand I can think of just because I saw it reviewed on here. I am sure there are a ton more though! For example, I have never heard of Barry M. before today! lol!
I like watching UK beauty videos, so a lot of the brands they talk about, like Bourjois, Sleek, and there’s one more drugstore one that’s slipping my mind that has the really good eye shadow palettes.
We are definitely spoiled here in the US with our variety but I would also really really love to smell all the Euro-exclusive fragrances that Guerlain comes out with as well. Going to those houses in their actual flagship stores like Guerlain, Jo Malone, Hermes, and Serge Lutens would be incredible. Perhaps if I lived somewhere like LA or NYC I could have access to exclusive fragrances but not here, unfortunately. 🙁
And I would LOVE to try more Asian beauty products!
Even in L.A. we have limited access to a lot of products in-store, and the ones that do carry certain brands/specific shades only have such limited quantities, it’s often not worth the effort to make the trek..,
Sleek! Also, I wish we got some of Europe’s exclusives to brands we already carry in the US.
I wish we had in Poland NARS, Becca, Too Faced, Stila, Illamasqua, Milani, Tarte and Hourglass.
For the last couple of years we’ve had such a huge improvement in the availability of different brands here in Novosibirsk that I feel like I don’t have a reason to complain really. TF, Armani, UD, MAC, MUFE, NARS, Inglot, theBalm, some ABH, Bobby Brown, Smashbox, Beauty Blender, Laura Mercier come to mind along with all the usual suspects like Chanel, Lancôme, Clinique, Dior, etc. Korean brands can also be purchased. We have Sephora products (I mean Sephora branded). Mass market also got much better with NYX, Sleek, Bourgeois and many others. All in all, I recon we are quite spoiled for choice here (hope I don’t jinx it 🙂 ), so any the new brands would be a nice bonus.
That said, I, personally, would definitely want Real Techniques readily available here and brands that make good affordable brushes in general. Also, would not mind checking out Two Faced or Bare Minerals or ColorPop, but it’s not critical.
Definitely Kiko!
I’m super attracted to Colourpop, and it all began with your review of their Bunny lipstick *frustratedly shakes fist*
Unfortunately they don’t send their products to Italy and likely never will (admittedly for a good reason, considering we have crazy customs procedures) but I’m really really really keeping my fingers crossed, maybe someday they will, who knows!
This is the first time I post a comment here, so no better time to say it: your blog is both a valuable shopping guide and a pleasure to read – thank you Christine 🙂
Bioderma! I stock up when I go to Canada.
Suqqu. I keeps seeing all of the beautiful eyeshadows and nice brushes, but the very high shipping cost always keeps me from ordering.
I live in Canada and wish it was easier to get a hold of Tom Ford products. Also, watching yt’s from the UK I wish could get Kiko products just to try some.
This will sound kind of lame, but Sweden has this pharmacy store called Apotek which of course has their own line of items. I was in need of some basic hand lotion and came across their handsalva which was apparently a newer line. I thought hey cheap, let’s get this. IT’S THE BEST HAND CREAM I’VE EVER USED!!! It’s unscented, concentrated and non greasy. And actually works. I ran out of face lotion while there and went back to Apotek and grabbed one of their brand face lotions. It’s good, but not magic in a green tube like the handsalva. I kept dropping into Apoteks looking for my green tube to buy more before I left but could never find it. 🙁
Most of the English brands we can’t get here and I’d like to see more Korean/Asian stuff. I’d love to get my hands on Zoeva brushes, Collection 2000 concealer, and bring back Bourjois and Max Factor!
Colourpop needs to ship to Europe. They said they were working on it but that seems like ages ago!
I’d also welcome Sephora back, not just the store, but their own range of make up. I feel like there is a gap in the market in large cities like London to have an Asian beauty store. If I were a better business person, I’d totally get on it!
Sleek, Barry M and Bourjois should give the US a shot! They’ve all got some good offerings and Sleek has a really decent colour range for base products and at drugstore prices.
Sleek and TonyMoly
I buy TonyMoly online, but sleek always has high shipping from the stores I see it from on ebay…
Autograph. I think it’s a company exclusive to Mark and Spencer in the UK. I could be wrong. But I wish that brand was here in the States.
I know some of these are available online to ship to the US, but I’d like to see them in brick and mortar stores, or at least sold in the US so shipping would be faster and cheaper: Sleek, Max Factor, Stargazer (I really want to try them), Freedom Makeup London, Bourjois, Illamasqua, Kueshi (I love their toner), and Zoeva.
I just found out Makeup Revolution has a US website now. It doesn’t have everything that the UK website does, but the shipping is cheaper and faster for those of us in the US.
http://www.makeuprevolutionusa.com/
KIKO!!!! It’s mostly in Italy, luckily I’m moving to Ireland soon and they ship all over the EU.
Bourjois, Sleek, COLAB, and the Japanese version of everything from Biore.
Drugstore brands like ELF, Sonia Kashuk, Rimmel London, Maybelline’s entire line and preferably at drugstore prices too. For HE, Tarte and Too Faced. Get your act together, Sephora Brazil!
Not much a brand, but a company – Jump from Paper.
I drool over those hand bags.
I miss Illamasqua here in the U.S.!
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Illamasqua
I’d love to see Zoeva, Makeup Revolutions, and MUA in Sephora or Ulta it would be great! They have fantastic products and cost less than L’Oreal!!!
Colourpop and Bite Beauty (I’m in the UK)
I’m in UK and wish we had Kat Von D, IT cosmetics, Lorac, Colourpop, Buxom, Dose of Colours to name a few and the full ranges of Tarte, MUFE, Too Faced, not the measily few products we can get. Would also love USA prices, we pay way over the odds here compared to US.
Did you know Debenhams do Too faced and MUFE.
Balmi.
I’d like to see Lorac, Motives, Makeup geek and Colour Pop in the UK. Barry M is a popular brand here. I like their nail polishes.
Tarte no doubt
There are so many brands we don’t find in Belgium and have to order online just watching swatches… It would be so great to find Nars, NYX, Kat Von D, Burberry, Marc Jacob, too faced, Benefit… Fortunately when can order online, but we never know if the products will suit us as we weren’t able to try them out
Tarte and It cosmetics
Skincare: Emma Hardy, Sarah Chapman and Oskia. Color: Suqqu, RMK, Shu Uemura and Illamasqua.
Terrific question! Viseart, Bourjois, RMK, and RMS
It would be so great if Makeup Revolution shipping didn’t cost so much to the US. I know they have some products at Ulta, but it’s very limited. I really want their I Heart Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette, but shipping costs just as much as it. Also, some of the Asian brands that others have mentioned too!
mainly NARS, UD, Too Faced, Charlotte Tilbury, A LOT actually!
but actually i would want a sephora!
NARS! Hourglass! Becca! Melted Lipsticks.
Max Factor, Bourjois, Barry M, Catrice
(to the USA)
I would love to have Kiko Cosmetics available here in Canada! I purchased a few items when I was in London, UK and found them to be excellent!
Hourglass, Becca, Lorac, Anastasia BH, Physicians Formula.
I’m living in France and despite having most drugstore brands but there’re no some product lines such as Maybelline Fit Me, Full n soft mascara, etc
Oh and Real Techniques brushes!! The prices here are ridiculously high, for example €29 for the Core set which sells at $14-18 in the US – double the price!!
Hi, I’m pretty sure iherb ships to France and the prices on Real Techniques, even with the delivery are good, so you might be interested in checking them out. 🙂
Lorac, Becca, Hourglass, ColorPop, so many… Oh, and lately, Nyx. Nyx has been sold in Spain for the last three or four years but right now it’s not longer available. Fortunately, Kat von D will be available very soon. OMG, I can’t wait!!!
Here we can get almost anything for a price. I miss Illamasqua and Max Factor and wish we could get Sleek and Bourjois in-store. Also more selection of Korean/Asian products although I admit my search has been mostly online.
I wish bourjois and max factor were around for america. For luxury, I really wish suqqu and Ellis Faas were more readily available too.
It’s amazing to read the comments above about what brands don’t ship to certain countries.
I think the luckiest thing is that we have Max Factor here in Australia.
The brands I would like to see are: Milani, Urban Decay (I know I can now get them at Mecca Maxima but there are only a few shops around), Sleek, Colour Pop and Lorac.
I also wish that Maybelline and L’Oreal would bring out all their range instead of about half.
Shu Eumura for sure! I know you can buy it online and it ships from Canada but I wish it was still in stores in America.
I wish Illamasqua products were more readily available!
Definitely Bourjois and Catrice. It’s not exactly a “beauty” brand, but I could buy the Nivea makeup wipes here
Sleek, Makeup Atelier and MUA. BlackUp Cosmetics is now sold in the U.S. or else they would be on the list too. I can shop online for the other three brands but it would be nice to go in store to purchase them.
I have nostalgia for products that were around when I started wearing higher-end makeup- Bourjois, Vincent Longo, Anna Sui…these all used to be available at Sephora but are now hard to find (in person). Also indie/foreign nail polish (like Dance Legend) since LLarowe is shutting down soon!
I wish Sleek was sold here in stores so I could see the actual product before buying..:.sigh well a girl can dream
I wish for a make up store with Korean brands. most of my disposable income is being sent to South Korea! Love,love, love Etude House, Peripera. Holika Holika, Innisfree, TonyMoly , etc. !! Dreams to come true because I remember a world before Ulta and Sephora!!! That world (literally) wasn’t as pretty as it is now!
Lorac. Now that Sephora no longer carries, we cannot get in Canada.
Oh yeah, Tom Ford is not available in Canada either. You can’t order online anywhere.
There was a wonderful Japonese,I think, eyelash curler that was perfect for me and many others that perfectly curved lashes. It is now on available from Japan as a direct order. I miss ordering It from Sephora for a better S&H price. It was truly good and miss it. Please share with us.
I´m from Brazil. Too Faced, Tarte, Anasiasia Bevery Hills, Colour Pop..
Nars, Stila, iT, Shu Uemura, Cargo, Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, Eyeko, Louise Young Cosmetics, LORAC, Kevyn Aucoin, Jouer, Barry M, Sleek, YesTo, PAULA’S CHOICE, HOURGLASS, Becca, Cover Girl, Illamasqua, Z Palettes, Morphie, Urban Decay, Skindinavia, Sonia Kashuk. I wish Revlon, Neutrogena, Olay, Wet n Wild would be easier accessible and the whole range available. So ladies and gentlemen, I think Hellas Greece wins!
Charlotte Tilbury, Kat Von D, Kevin Aucoin and Hourglass
Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, Stila, Covergirl, it Cosmetics, Inglot, etc. I don’t understand why we haven’t these brands in France :-((
Most brands sold at Sephora. Haha! Specifically, Two Faced, Kat Von D, Tarte, Hourglass and Urban Decay. If anyone knows where to find these brands in New Zealand, please tell me!! 😛
I wish here in the UK we had, Kat Von D, Buxom, Lorac, Tarte, Milani, Wet & Wild, Cover Girl, IT cosmetics, and Make up forever. I also wish we had a Sephora here in the UK.
Tarte, Kat Von D, Becca, Hourglass, The Balm, MUFE, there’s probably more but I can’t think of them right now. I can get some of them online but it’s difficult and some I have to import and the charges are a little bit ridiculous. I’d love to be able to walk into a shop and actually try them out
Lorac Cosmetics, Sleek, Max Factor, Black Opal, Neutrogena makeup, Zoeva,Sonia Kashuk, Kiko Cosmetics and all the range of Wet n’ Wild. I live in Canada and eventhough we live close to the US, a lot of the stuff that’s easily accesible for them is not available here. I can’t even order Lorac online unless I go to amazon but by then it would be a lot pricey. I don’t go to the US often enough and I don’t have anybody I can ask to buy for me when I’m lemming a limited edition stuff which at times can get frustrating.
Zoeva, Suqqu and Illamasqua come to mind. I know you can order them but I have a hard time justifying shipping. I also wish Charlotte Tilbury was available in store so I could try things, or at least get and return them without having to pay for shipping and/or with a prepaid lable. Getting to the post office is hard for me.
Lorac, Inglot, Kat von D, Zoeva, Sigma, Morphe, Becca, Laura Mercier, NYX and Colourpop!!!!
Darn, we have nothing here in tiny Denmark.. lol
The only one I could think of would be Kiko, but they just became available online a few weeks ago. Thank goodness! The better question is, what brands do you wish were readily available in the drugstore, Ulta, Sephora, or Department Store. Then I would say Kiko, Sleek, and Zoeva.
I think I need to submit a question!
Nars, Urban Decay and Kiko. Would love to see them in South Africa!
I wish we had easier in-store access to Korean cosmetics and skincare like Etude House, Holika Holika, Skinfood! I’ve NEVER seen Sonia Kashuk in any stores here, wish I would! I’d love better access to Sleek and MUA.
I’d like a Lush, Sephora and MAC store in my area, but at least they are available about an hour away 🙂
I mean, if you try hard enough you can get anything, but I wish it were easier to get Bourjois (the Healthy Mix foundation looks really nice) and some Korean brands. I know you can get all that online, but I wish there were somewhere to buy it in person so you could see shades. I’ve been dying to try some Korean BB creams but shade matching just through Googling it and looking at pictures is darn near impossible!
Although looking through this thread, I’m happy I’m in the US, where the vast majority of brands are indeed available!
Sweden: colourpop!
And that all fairly cheap brands (nyx, revlon, maybelline, cover girl etc) weren’t so expensive over here :/ for us they cost the equivalent of mac in the us; mac in sweden the equiv. of chanel in the us; chanel and other brands the equiv. of selling your arm… *rambling*
It cosmetics, Hourglass, Cat Von D, Tarte, MUFE, Cover fx, Urban decay, Benefit!
Croatia seems to be on a different planet if you ask cosmetic brands even though it is Europe!!!
Charlotte Tilbury, Tarte and Too Faced! (Russia)
Bourjois, Innisfree, VDL, Suquu…
Sleek and Illamasqua!
Milani, Colourpop and Catrice Cosmetics
(United Kingdom)
Sleek cosmetics!!!! I can order from Amazon but I wish I could just go to my local drugstore and buy their products!!
I find Demeter Fragrances very interesting – especially their Playdoh inspired perfume – but they are only selling stuff in the US, so I never had the chance (not in the Middle East, and neither here in Europe) to try them 🙁
