Beauty Products From Around the World You Must Try

I love, love, LOVE to travel. I've talked about this before, but I've been to 18 countries. I love absorbing all the culture and learning as much as I can of where ever I am visiting. Y'all, when I travel outside of the States, I make sure to do things: check out the snacks and check out the beauty products. It's fun to me to test them out and compare them to what we have here. I used to stock up when visiting or long for products once they ran out, but now many of them are available online. When I originally made this list, I had 126 items, but for today, I'm picking out just a few beauty products from around the world--that you can buy!












Australia and New Zealand:


  • Paw Paw Ointment--Made from paw paws (papayas) this is a do-it-all ointment. Think burns, blisters, etc. When I visited Australia, it was their winter, so I need something for my skin, and this really worked.
  • Lanolin Lano--I just saw this at Ulta the other day! This line has a host of products, like their original ointment (pink tube), moisturizer (pictured), and products for lips (just like Bite Beauty's Agave Mask but cheaper). Vegetarian and baby-safe, however people are sensitive to lanolin.
  • Kevin Murphy Hair Products--A great line of luxury hair care. Try the plumping wash.
  • Antipodes--I've tried only 3 things from this New Zealand skincare line, and loved them all.
    • Also Australian: Aesop and Becca
  • Want more? I did a haul of Australian Beauty Products right here.



UK:

  • Soap and Glory--I'm hoping you've heard of this fabulous (and pretty packaging) body care line. Find it at ULTA and now even some Walgreens stores.costa rica--honey?
  • Bourjois--A high street makeup brand (technically from France but owned by an American company) with a lot of great products like their healthy mix serum foundation (if you want a review, let me know), lip velvets, and mascaras. I associate them with the UK because I never encountered this brand in France. Likewise, when I started beauty blogging, I never saw my fellow French bloggers mention it but it was a staple for my English vlogger/blogger friends. It will be more expensive here due to shipping. Try Amazon or Asos.
  • Sleek--I'm a huge fan of their eye shadow palettes.
    • More UK faves: Collection, Boots, No 7 (try Target), Barry M, Max Factor (in US for now, but Covergirl is exactly like it), Essence, Rimmel, Pixi, Charlotte Tilbury, Eyeko...I could go on and on...


Mexico:

  • I did a post here of Beauty Secrets from Mexico with more info, but I love this mascara



France:
I could have done a series just on France alone. A visit to the Pharamcie a must-do. A lot of the products are still exclusive to France, so I picked just a few. But there's so much more!


  • Bioderma--I've tried just about every micellar water on the market. This was the first one and still my favorite. Try Amazon, beautylish, or Frends Beauty for it.
  • Embryolisse--I swear this isn't sponsored, despite this being the third time in the past 2 weeks I've mentioned this brand. I love their moisturizer as a primer or as an overnight mask. Try Amazon or Frends Beauty.
  • Homeoplasmine--Another ointment (what is my obsession with these?) and I even use this to treat spots.
  • Phyto--One of my favorite hair care lines. I swear by their supplements for thicker hair. But their masks, treatments, well dang, everything I've tried has been good.
    • More: Vichy, A 313 (your fine lines will love this),  La Roche Posay, Avene, and lots more

Have you tried any of these brands?

  21. I love trying out beauty products from different countries too! It's so fascinating to me! I love the paw paw ointment, I did a swap with one of my blogger friends who lives in Australia and she sent me it and so many other goodies. I've always wanted to try sleek makeup! I hope you'll do more posts like this!

  22. You are making me want to travel overseas again! What a fun post! That Sleek eyeshadow palette is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I also love going to pharmacies or stores to check the products of local brands! I like Soap and Glory very much and Bioderma and there are so many nice brands that we only get to know when we are in the country they are produced! France is a greeeat source of good products, for sure! I am eager to try Lakme, from India :)

  40. Ahh yes, that paw paw ointment does wonders. Not so much for me, except for my lips. I know a lot of people who also use it to treat dry skin and blemishes etc. Sadly it doesn't have an amazing effect on me. But it is pretty awesome for dry lips.

  42. 18 countries, that's awesome! I love to travel too but haven't been able to do it as much these past few years. I need to try some of these, most of them I've never tried (or even heard of). I have tried Kevin Murphy beach spray though and I really liked that!

    ReplyDelete
  43. 18 countries? That's so cool. I wasn't super into makeup when I went abroad so I didn't try anything, but now I wish I had. Thank goodness for the internet! I've heard of some of these brands before. I know a lot of YouTubers are loving the Sleek highlighters and the Bourjois serum foundation.

  44. Great post, never heard of these products except the sleek palette.

  47. Read your post a few days ago and just find the time to comment today ! Better late than never right ;-)
    Just to let you know Elle that Bourjois is a French brand and not a UK one ;-) As the "French beauty blogger of Charleston" I wanted to fix this little mistake ;-)
    I love travelling also and I enjoyed your post like many others !
