So great to finally have a video out after what feels like forever, but it was only one month
Thank you Amy! 😄👋 Over a month in the end as I got quite sick after my trip, but it's great to finally be back online! x
@@matildaonvideo we are happy to see you back posting great content. Glad you are feeling better 🫶🏻
I love when you talk about skincare, I wish there was a store that sold international products from all over the world 😭
My favorite moisturizer from La Roche Posay is the Lipikar baume AP+M cream. I use it on my face and body, I recommend it for extra dry skin 🥰
Ooh I'll need to keep an eye out for that one! Thank you Ela 💙 x
What a lovely notif to get on a Sunday evening! 💜 from Georgia (USA)
Thank you so much Sam! So kind of you 🥰 x
You should try the Nuxe Multipurpose dry oil, I love the smell. I’m also a big fan of the LRP sunscreen!
I've tried the Nuxe before Melissa! Just have a few other dry body oils I'm trying to finish up at home this winter from Olverum and NERRĀ ✨ x
Oh I cant LIVE without my Nuxe dry oil! Every single day!!!
Hello Matilda! I’m from Portugal and here we have all these products available at our pharmacies. I love a lot of those brands
Hi Carolina! Yes, luckily a lot of these brands are much more widely available outside France now, even here in Australia 😄💙 (but the prices in France are always fantastic!) x
Hi! The majority of these products are available in Canada. This is a great reason to visit Montreal! 😊
Hi Meena! Absolutely, luckily the availability of most of these products in other countries has increased so much over the years. I'd love to visit Montreal on my next Canada trip! 😍 x
Welcome back! I’ve started paying attention and trying out so many french pharmacy products because of you talking about them a few years back! No regrets!
Omg I watched your videos 6 years ago and found one of them in a "beauty" playlist. So glad I found you again !!
We missed you! This is definitely going to help me decide what to get when I head to France this autumn (Northern Hemisphere). Welcome back, Matilda!
Thank you Kalyn, so sweet of you! Yay I'm so excited for you, whereabouts will you be visiting? 🇫🇷 x
@@matildaonvideo Will be mostly in Paris but will be spending some time in Provence!
The caudalie sun water is AMAZING! I bought some in France last summer, and it has carried me through this summer at home in the US! No sunburns thankfully! 🤞🏻
Great to hear Stephanie, thanks for sharing! I'm excited to start using it ☀️ x
I went to france last month and the amount of restraint i had to show at the pharmacy was insane but i got so many freebies so that was fun. Also met a pharmacist who used to work at bioderma and she gave my mom so much advice on skincare.
Sounds like a dream pharmacy experience Shez! So glad you and your Mum had a successful visit 😍👏 Thank you for watching! x
I don’t know if they deliver to Australia, but for those in the Uk, I would recommend Cocoon Centre. They stock pretty much everything in a French pharmacy and products that you won’t get over here. My sister I I stock up every few months. Order over £75 and delivery is free. Under £130 and there’s no duty. Takes usually a week to receive. Been ordering from them for two years and some of my colleagues now order from there too. I ordered the Avene lip butter through them.
I wish our bioderma sales were as good as in France, Matilda! A 2-for-1 here in Australia would be the DREAM 😂
Welcome back! 🎉 happy to hear you've enjoyed paris this year. Caudalie skincare doesn't agree with me much but that grape water is 'chef kiss', I love it too. I tried even more svr this time around in paris. Love their allover cream in the sustainable packaging pouch
Thank you Anca! I had a lovely few days there, can never get enough of Paris 😍❤️ Someone just mentioned SVR in another comment, I'll have to keep an eye out next time! x
Welcome back! Your video made my night!
And this comment made my day Tia! Thank you so much 🥰 x
oh my! that nail polish 😍
Thank you, always listed in the description box! A perfect summer shade ☀️💅 (even though it's winter in Australia right now!) x
Beautiful selections. I am loving SVR creams, lotions, balms and cleansers.
Thank you Catherine! Ooh I've heard about SVR but didn't spot them over there, thank you for the tip ❤️ x
I’m enjoying SVR balm cleanser and moisturiser. Available here now.
I’m going to Paris in September, and I’m soooooo excited to browse the French pharmacies.
Yay Hannah! So excited for you 😍👏 x
I swear on the nuxe huile prodigieuse, also their rosewater toner is lovely
Looks like a fantastic haul, I did use to work in pharmacy so I had a certain amount of these things I always want. So Clarins anything basically, Batiste dry shampoo, a multi wonder cream that u can use on any area - arms / legs / face. Lip balm or even a deodorant of some sort as occasionally I need one whilst away 😊
Working in a pharmacy Rebecca?! The ultimate temptation 😂😍 Thank you for catching up on some of my old videos while I've been away - I haven't had a chance to respond, but I see your comments and they're much appreciated! x
i rave about the A313 balm. It is seriously one of the best OTC retinols I've ever seen and my skin literally began to glow after a week
Thank you for sharing, as always.
In the past 72 hrs I have freshly rediscovered the lack of truly good French pharmacy products in the UK market. My partner has been prescribed a few Avene and Bioderma products in Romania, where you can find those everywhere. It turns out, that specifically the products that dermatologists would recommend in the Continent - are NOT available in the UK. You'll find a handful of Avene and Bioderma in Boots, a few extra masks in specialized apothecaries, but not the holy grails.
I had to order it with extra shipping costs as he needs it, but on our next trip "home" I'm filling my suitcase with these gems.
Regarding the sunscreens you have yet to test - The Avene Peau Sensible (second from left on your video) was not bad on my combo dry skin, but gathered in my wrinkles oilyly. However on my partner's skin, which is oily flaky dry it worked like the most wonderful thing that he ever put on his face, looking better than his own skin!
Furthermore on La Roche Cica B5 with SPF50: before the Avene above, we've been using this for windy walks and sunny winter walks all year round. It feels heavy and greasy, but with severe weather conditions, I trust it outdoors. Once it starts breaking down, after approx. 2 hrs, it burns my eyes. Absolutely horrible. By the 4th hour it becomes extremely heavy on the skin, one can feel the patches where it is worn and where ther's more, so I always have to do a full cleansing, after our walks.
My partner had the same experience, he refuses to apply it on his eyelids at all. On his skin it doesn't look greasy, on my T zone, I must powder, otherwise i look like I aged 10 years somehow.
So good luck :D
I also want to add with sunscreens, it is my experience, that in different climate, they react differently. Both the above sunscreens were nicer to wear on the Continent, however here in London, with high humidity, things are different.
I woke up this morning wondering when’s the next Matilda drop going to be and I see this 😍 How can I forget your Caudalie trip when I’ve watched that particular video over and over again until I finally went when our borders opened in 2022 :) Another video I played countless of times was your first French pharmacy video that I’d specifically play whenever I’d visit any pharmacy when I lived in France last year. Now that there’s a new video, I’d have to move back to France again! 😅 Thanks Matilda and can’t wait for the upcoming content!
What a special comment, thank you so much! 🥹❤️ Love hearing that you visited the home of Caudalie too (isn't it beautiful!) and revisited my old video on your own pharmacy trips. That means a lot! x
Nothing like the French Pharmacy ❤❤❤
I could browse all day! 😂❤️ x
We have missed you, Miss Matilda! Hope you had a lovely holiday! ❤
Thank you lovely! I had a wonderful time, but it's nice to be back online with all of you ☺️👋 x
This came a bit too late for my euro trip this year, but perfect for next year💫
Sorry I missed you this time Mia, but lovely to hear you can start planning for your next trip! 😍 x
Yay, your back!!!! I feel like I'm reconnecting with an old friend
What a lovely thing to say Jenna! Thank you 🥹❤️ x
It's almost nostalgic to see French pharma classics! But they are classics for a reason - I also stock up on LRP Anthelios uvmune 400 and the caudalie elixir whenever I travel. Another item I pick up while travel shopping are Japanese lip balms, which are sold everywhere in Asia (except my own country, of course!). Great ones are from DHC and Mentholatum.
'Classics for a reason' is spot on, Polly! (Love your name). Glad those two formulas are on your list to stock up on! 💙 x
Have you heard of Yolaine Paris? It's a french make up brand and I ordered their Mousse de Rouge in two colors (Daphné and Tulip) and I'm in love with them! Such a special product and they last really long on my lips. I think you would like the concept! Also, their tinted balm is great, I have it in Brioche, it has such a strong colour!
I tracked down Yolaine Paris while I was there, Krisztina! Great minds think alike 😉❤️ You'll see one of their mousses on my channel in future (I tried to meet up with the team while I was there but it didn't work out, and unfortunately there wasn't much stock left at Printemps so I still have a few things on my wishlist for next time!) x
I am a huge fan of Avene’s facial sunscreen. It is the best formula I have found for my sunspots (with the blue light filter in it). I stock up and never want to be without it. I am intrigued by the LRP Cicaplast sunscreen you bought. I really like Biafine too (it smells so comforting). I also like Biafine’s cica version (similar to Cicaplast).
Honestly, I’d have to check a bag if I went to CityPharma right now. Especially if my husband went with me. 🤣 Biafine has my 💗💗💗
I'll need to plan for more suitcase space next time 😂 x
Wish we had City Pharma in the US! They would make bank here!💰💰💰
Top French Makeup and Skin Care would be fun!!🤗❤️
Thank you Brenda! Definitely planning to share some of the other French makeup I found in Paris 🇫🇷 x
Obsessed with pharmacies! You should have hit up the Greek pharmacies as well since you went to Greece they’re everywhere and pretty much the same as the French ones but they also have local brands
I wish I'd been based in a city in Greece to explore their pharmacies too! I was staying in a very quiet part of Corfu for my friend's wedding so we didn't do any shopping, just celebrating and relaxing 😎💙 x
Agreed! @@matildaonvideo you should try Korres and Apivita - both are great Greek pharmacy brands you can find online in many countries. Korres Cucumber Hyaluronic Splash is one of my fav sunscreens, very refreshing.
My dad is headed to Australia for several weeks at the end of the year. I may or may not be sending him with a long list of skincare to bring back, including a few bottles of Ultra Violette, that you can't get in the US
I visited Paris last year with my mom. I bought most of these however the Thermal water mist were sold out throughout the city but thankfully we lived in the states. La Roche Posay and Avene used to be expensive but now I can finally afford their products and I bought new or original formulas when I was there as well. The caudalie beauty elixir seems very overhyped to me and I will not rebuy since I've used mainly K-beauty mist that are promising. Next time, I'll check out the hair products.
Biafine alone makes me glad to live in the EU. Absolute best cream for sunburns, available at every farmacy
Biafine forever! What an incredible creation 👏 x
I’m obsessed w French skincare! The thing I’m really wanting to get my hands on is the uriage anti perspirant. It seems to be sold out everywhere! 😢
Thank you, another super video! I love the look and content of your videos. I trust your advice, plus I'm very fair, too, therefore your recommendations are particularly helpful.
Thank you, such lovely feedback! I really appreciate it 🥰 x
Bioderma micellar water is my most repurchased product. I have this in the 850ml reverse pump bottle which is available from Boots.
As for sunscreen, I have tried La Roche Posay and Vichy capital soleil, both are very good. Lately I have been trying out a few Japanese sunscreens, and I can say I was impressed by the textures and finishes these leave on skin.
Ooh I like the sound of the Bioderma pump bottle Nancy! Although I do like the process of pouring it 🩷 Glad you're enjoying exploring different sunscreen textures too, great to hear! x
As someone with very pale skin, I don't know how you guys deal with sunburns without Biafine lol. It's been a staple ever since I was a kid, and helps get rid of very angry burns in just a few hours ;-;
Reapplication, applying enough sunscreen, wearing a hat + sunglasses + covered clothing, and seeking shade wherever we can is so important Dalia, otherwise I'd roast every day! ☀️ Of course accidents happen, and as someone with very fair skin too, I'm much more likely to burn than most of my friends, so Biafine does come in handy sometimes. Glad you're a fan of it too! x
@@matildaonvideo My mom got skin cancer when I was a child so were always covered up from head to toe, however here in the South of France it's still not something common unfortunately... And Biafine saves my life when I get sunburnt by accident
Even with more olive skin and being an SPF50 girl, Biafine has bailed me out of sunburn accidents. It's a miracle cream, which I'm happy to say I barely use, but I'm glad is an option.
I wish so much these brands were cruelty free 😢
Oh you were "conveniently" staying near a City Pharma? Okay 😉 HAHAHAHAHA
The 6th arrondissement is my favourite part of Paris to stay in Floriebeth! And City Pharma just happens to be there too 🤩👏 x
perfect timing! I will be going to french next month and this video is going to be my guide! thank you for this ✨💕
Yay, so happy to hear that! Whereabouts are you off to? Hope you have a fantastic trip! ✈️🇫🇷 x
I think I've gone through about a dozen of La Roche Posay sunscreens! So amazing against the Aussie UV
So happy you’re back! And with one of my favourite topics, French pharmacy! ❤ I do wish we would get as many options for sunscreen in Canada but sadly we have access to the brands but not all the products
Thank you, it's great to be back! 😄👋 x
Would you do a video about budgeting for long trips like this?
This is literally my under bathroom cabinet. I’m lucky Canada gets so many of these products however I bet we don’t get those deals.
Is it weird that I’m sad the new embyrollisse packaging is less elegant
I'm due for a trip to France which is not for many months, but I've already started a list of things I want to bring back (cicaplast baume and Caudalie grape water are on the list based on some of your videos), so thank you for even more recommendations!😂 Side note, I've been watching your videos for a while now, your voice is always so calming and I love the video format.😊
Thank you so much for watching Katie, that's so kind of you! 🥰 Very excited for you, which parts of France are you planning to visit? x
@@matildaonvideo Paris and aix-en-provence! There might be some shorter visits to other areas as well, not set in stone yet.
Hi, ❤ I would love your recommendation for beauty finds in Australia!
Hi Monique! You can find a couple of old Australian beauty videos on my channel, but I've definitely been meaning to film an updated version! 🇦🇺💙 x
a year ago you made a video on eras tour makeup and i commented about getting tickets for london, and my first trip to europe is in a week and a half! definitely going to look out for these products ❤
and thank you for always talking about necessaire, i still remember the first time you talked about them. i finally pulled the plug and got it OMG it is the best thing ever
Aaah so excited for you!! I was in London in June and ended up getting a very last minute ticket (like one hour before!) to London night 1 and it was incredible, you'll have the *best* time at Wembley 🤩😍 Safe travels and say hi to Taylor! x
Ps. Ooh which Nécessaire formula did you try? So happy to hear you love it! 💚 x
@@matildaonvideoi used the eucalyptus body wash it’s amazing. as a recovering insomniac i have tried using magnesium pills, lavender on my diffuser, and not using my phone before bed and honestly none of it works. i shower with this body wash and it knocks me out.
Glad you are back 😊
Thank you so much Andreina! Very happy to be back 🥰 Hope you've been well! x
The non aerosol of Klorane has a great effective sprayer and lasts so much longer than the aerosol. I think it has more product.
Ooh I hadn't seen this version! Thank you for mentioning it 💚 x
Love the La Roche Posay brand 🥰💙
Me too! I'll take it all 😍💙 x
Biafine is a lifesaver for burns!!!
All my faves- I also always pick up the effervescent vitamin C aspirin tabs in a tube - great if you e had too much wine😂
Glad these are your favourites too Jill! 😍 x
❤❤❤❤ love this 😊
💙💙💙
Welcome back!!! 😄
Thank you! So nice to be back 🥰 Hope you've been well! x
Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada carries a lot of these too. 😀 I love it.
Yes! Luckily most of these formulas are much more widely available these days (but you can't beat the prices in France 😄👏) x
@@matildaonvideo I haven’t been to France for a very long time, but I will certainly keep that in mind when I do go back. The prices are not horrible here in Canada actually, which is nice too. ☺️
Thee first time ever I opened a tube of lait creme concentrate I was so disappointed by the scent. No one ever mentions how heavily scented that moisturiser is. And I am not even sensitive to scents.
A few years ago, I bought double pack of bioderma in the 500ml bottle and I'm only now about to run out
Quel joli vernis!
I clicked so fast.
Thank you! 🥰 x
wish i had this when i was in paris at the beginning of july!
Sorry about the timing, but I hope you had a wonderful time there! Any pharmacy finds for you? 🇫🇷 x
@@matildaonvideo don’t apologize! was also traveling with a carry on, so i had to pass on the good deals. aiming to go again soon, though!
do mists really do anything? i never thought they were anything special, it’s just spring water in my mind but seeing you rave about them makes me want to pick one up to try
Applying products on damp skin helps with absorption, so mists are always a key part of my routine! ☺️💙 x
No A313?
My favorite video ❤️
Thank you so much Samatha! 🥰🇫🇷 x
In which section did you find the avene lip balms? I have never found them in all my visits to City Pharma
The Avene lip balm pot? I found it in a little lip balm section! It wasn't in the corridor towards the checkout where a lot of balms usually are though - there was a smaller lip balm area opposite the Caudalie wall (on the far right of the store, the Rue du Four side). Hope that makes sense! 💙 x
How'd you get these on your carry-on? TIA!
I was only travelling between Paris and London by train for a few days so luckily no liquid restrictions! Phew 😅 Then I put everything in my checked luggage to fly back to Australia x
I once went through that caudalie elixir in one day. There isn’t much in it 😢
One day?! You must be a serious face mist fan, I'm impressed 😂👏 I find 1-3 sprays of Beauty Elixir is enough for me each time x
Cicaplast ❤🇧🇷
The best Rose! ☺️💙 x
@@matildaonvideo 🫶🏼
Wouldn’t it be great if Bioderma bottles were refillable?!?!
I wish Em! I've risked life and limb (several fingers, at least) trying to get the lid off the travel bottles to refill them, with absolutely no luck 😩 x
How did you get the 500 ml on a carry on? The limit is 100 mls for liquids.😂
Don't worry, I'm very familiar with decanting my skincare routine to pass through liquid restrictions, but this time I was only travelling to and from Paris by train from London for a few days! 😄👍 Then everything went into my checked luggage when I flew home x
@@matildaonvideo I thought they had put the new scanners in France as well,those that allow us to have more than the usual limit. I can’t wait to travel with my bigger containers.
I’ve been to or is. The Caudelie mist is awfull. Super drying. The second ingredient is alcohol. I used it and couldn’t figure out why. Trash.
Mecca in Australia now sell Glossier. Please film a recommendation video. Thanks.
I know, isn't it surreal?! You read my mind 😉🩷 Stay tuned! x
I wish i knew how much intense fragrance had the caudalie beauty elixir sprey because i wouldnt have bought it...please dont buy before you smell like i did..
I always make sure I mention the scent in my videos for this reason Kristi! Luckily I love the Beauty Elixir fragrance but scents are so personal, and this one is certainly very noticeable 💚 x
Thats why i love your videos...This purchase was before watching you❤Your voice calms me so much😊
some things never change, Matilda still doesn’t enjoy nuxe pot lip balms😂 i think we firstly discussed it in comments like 5 years ago 😄🙈🤍
french pharmacy brands have no comparison, they are hard to resist
*Very* hard to resist, as you can see! 😂💙 x
