Is there an EU based seller for Kat Von D?

I moved to the EU a while back and am used to using Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation, but I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere, and I can't seem to find a website selling the stuff based in the EU.

Does it not exist here?

How to get UK-only Mac to US?

Hi friends! I recently saw a preview for Mac's tempting fate collection and have been scouring the internet trying to find where to buy it. I recently found out that it's a UK-exclusive? I recognize this is a long shot but wanted to ask- do any of you know of UK stores that would carry it and ship to the US?

I am open to any tips, tricks, or ideas you beautiful folks are willing to share. Thanks!

Bourjois Twist Up the Volume Mascara and it's various versions.

Bourjois Twist Up the Volume in Gold and Black was my first and HG mascara. It gave a false lash effect and didn't smudge. But I want to know if the same applies to it's various versions. I like the look of the extreme fibers but is it any good? If you tried any of the other variation plz let me know what you think of them. I'm now very oily and not sure if the Gold in Black could survive on me.

[Switzerland] Any Dupe for Essence's Lash and Brow Gel?

Pretty self-explanatory title but for no reason I know of, Essence pulled my all-time favorite holy grail eyebrow gel off the shelves. I asked the UK Essence Twitter account whats up with that and they gave me a bogus response of "It's out of stock currently but check back soon! :)"

Well, that was on the 28th of October. I went out today to 3 different stores (Coop, 2 different Migros) to see if they have it, to no avail. I don't think it's gonna come back anytime soon and my last tube is empty and gunked up due to a lot of use. I don't have a spare one sadly so I wanna find a dupe that is in the same price range and does the same. I already have the Make me Brow but it only adds color to my sparse brows and doesnt really define and keep them nicely shaped like the gel did.

I can pretty much order from local beauty retailers (I have to wait weeks even for UK deliveries) like Douglas and most stores here either have Essence, Catrice, Maybelline, L'Oreal and Covergirl in their selection.

EDIT 1: This isn't just a Swiss-only problem as it seems, the gel is available in the US but not on the german Essence website and DM has been out of stock ever since around the same time I contacted the Twitter account.

KAJA Beauty Bento from Europe?

Anyone knows where I can get KAJA Beauty Bento eyeshadows with shipping FROM Europe?

I don't want to deal with getting it from US, waiting forever, paying millions for shipment and then paying more in duty.

Nabla in physical stores in Italy?

I hear Nabla can be found in physical stores in Italy. Do any of you know where? Or what stores? I see that Sephora carries it but they do not seem to have the one thing I am interested in; the single eyeshadows.

Any tip would be greatly appreciated.

Misslyn Black Joker Mascara....

Hi all.

I’m located in the US; but was recently on a trip to Germany and picked up a few makeup items. A few are pretty ok, but the stand out was the single one I can’t seem to find in the states, and I’m hoping someone can help me out!

It’s the Misslyn Black Joker mascara. It looks like it’s on Beauty Bay, but is sold out, and I’m not sure when it’s going to (if ever) come back in stock.

Would someone be willing to send me a few tubes? I’d pay for the mascara, plus shipping, plus 50% of the total cost of the mascara itself for your time.

Let me know! :)

Question about VAT/customs from non-EU site (ShopMissA) to EU (Austria)?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about ordering from online to EU/Austria. Is the 22€ limit before or after shipping costs? And is there typically a "holding fee" or something like a "Postal presentation fee" that I have to pay to pick up the parcel?

Thanks!

Share your experience with products you've tried because they were recommended here

Makeup or skincare products. Like me, you probably have gone through several threads of product recs. After trying them out, what's your verdict? Found a new HG? Or maybe something just didn't work for you even though several people on here mentioned it was great. I'm always looking for more opinions on products before I decide to purchase.

Where to buy some Makeup Geek and Colour Pop singles

I am looking for some affordable eyeshadow singles. Do you guys know/ have any experience wit any European based online retailers that might sell them or other products in their ranges. I just don't want to get burned with import tax or high shipping costs for 3 products.

Beautybay used to sell Makeup Geek but currently only have 2 quads by them. Any info would be greatly appreciated also if you found a great dupe.

PSA Munich: TK Maxx has interesting things right now!(Stila, MUF, Pixi,etc.)

I've been to TK Maxx here a couple of times before and was underwhelmed by the makeup and skincare stock, which I know changes every so often depending on surplus. I just wanted to let you know about some cool brands and products they have right now, in case you are planning to buy these (or similar) items:

Stila- Stay all day liquid lipsticks, lip liners, concealers.

Make Up For Ever- primers, stick foundations (I saw mostly darker shades), artist plexi glosses

Pixi- Correction Concentrate, highlighter pencils

Algenist- tonic, primer

Bare Minerals- glosses (not gen nude)

ELF- brushes

There were more things, obviously, but these are the ones that I recall being in store yesterday evening.

Hopefully you can find something that's been on your list for a while and get a better deal. I did with the Pixi concealer :)

Oh, side note- I HATE that so many products were opened and many customers were opening the products there too- sticking their fingers into everything and breaking open the packaging.

Munich: Which stores carry Wet n Wild, Cetaphil, The Ordinary?

Hi everybody! I've been here for a couple of months and am slowly getting acquainted with the shops here.

I've read on past posts that these brands are available here, but the specific stores that I've been to (Rossman, DM, Douglas, Mueller) don't carry them. Have I just been unlucky in the particular location?

Side note: I'm specifically looking for WnW Take on the Day eyeshadow primer, but I fear it may be discontinued! Any recs for super long-lasting primer for oily lids?

Thanks!
