Haha, you got a sneaky haircut between umbrella holding in the rain and the indoor unboxing 😄😉. I loved this video. Seeing what people recommend when showcasing their shopping hauls (and general skincare shopping in Korea, Japan and France) never gets old for me. Thanks for encouraging me to book a long weekend to Paris this winter.
Thanks so much for sharing! I don't speak very much French, but I am hoping to slip in and buy some things from City Pharma on my next Paris trip. I'll try and go first thing like you recommended. Do you have any more recommendations for Parisian beauty stores?
I found that many of the ladies working CityPharma spoke decent english (lots of tourist shop there). Also if you plan to buy things for more than 100 euro they can process your VAT refund for you, being your passport. Another great pharmacy for skincare is the Pharmacy at Les Halles (the Westfield Mall on the Les Halles subway stop)
@@angelashippenmakeup Yes, that's where I shot this video. It's a very big store (I think the biggest pharmacy in France) hah It reminds me of a store here in the USA :) It's more chill than City Pharma but you can't go wrong with either spot
@@angelashippenmakeup hi ! I think pharmacies in the south of France provides products for less price….. also Sephora store is huge in Paris you can get alot of brands there … there are some perfume stores very old all over in France if you really like perfume etc … I would suggest you to try some other French brands likepayot ,la rosee , lierac, svr, topicrem, isispharma etc
Hi! Some pharmacies do have it at checkout (you ask and they give it to you) and in others i found it on the floor. I’d say it’s a mix but yeah I definitely went to quite a few pharmacies that had it at checkout. No idea why. Some pharmacies do the same with the popular honey lipbalm by Nuxe 🤔
My fav dry shampoo is no doubt Klorane ; I always buy a lot of it in France because it a not easy to find in ITaly as well; and another French must have is Bioderma water , the best water in my opinion; I can find it easily here in ITaly but in France I found always special offers. Caudalie on the other hand is not my best friend, I prefer Nuxe products.
@@zorymory well you know that France is the cosmetic hub for everything and expecially for high end products. Talking about tipical italian brands I would suggest L Erbolario (funny and good smelling products), Rilastil and Bionike that are pharmacy brands for sensitive skin and Armani for make up ( foundations and blush )
My favourite brand is Nuxe and I’m really happy with that. I definitely don’t like Caudalie. France is one of the best place in Europe when it comes to cosmetics 👍👍👍👍
I buy a lot of French pharmacy products on 50 % or 40% ….. but not in France… another European country…. There’s good brands like lierac, institut esthederm, payot, svr, topicrem…. 😊

Thank you for letting is know which pharmacy to go to! Your hair looks great! Love your plant backdrop!
CityPharma is so much cheaper and you get all you need. I love it ❤
When i was there few of the products I wanted were sold out because of the crowds ✨
@@zorymory Yeah, that happened to me too, but if you go early in the morning is another different story 😊

Thanks for the info. I have heard that the A313 is not on shelves and you have to get it at the pharmacy counter. Did you find this to be true?

Do you have Italian brands that you love and recommend!?

The micellar water doesn’t remove water proof mascara, even though it claims so. The bioderma
My favourite brand is Nuxe and I’m really happy with that. I definitely don’t like Caudalie. France is one of the best place in Europe when it comes to cosmetics 👍👍👍👍

Not one of: THE best 😊
