Battle of the french cosmetics, which is your favorite?

[chavette]

I am quite a fan of Clinique myself 9although they are SO expensive in the UK). L'oreal seem to be more popular though, which is strange, because i have always found them to be inferior skin care products. What do you guys think? To facilitate things a bit, I created a poll on the subject (you guys can also create your own polls...). Any comments or feedback would be appreciated!

Clinique isn't French. It's American; part of Estee Lauder.

clinique is a french word, lol it means clinic, but it is american.

here we are flooded with l'oréal products, makeup, skincare, haircare. if you look for supermarket products, cheap, they're quite good. but obviously if you're taking a look at the labels, you'll find lots of cones and parabens. i guess it's fine for certain people, but i try to avoid those products as i know i never had much results with them.

i try to go for higher quality products, like La Roche Posay (which unfortunately owned by l'oréal), Uriage, Avène, Nuxe (though the prices are "eek!"). Biotherm which i think is also a french brand, is owned by l'oréal too.

When it comes to French Makeup and Perfume GUERLAIN is TOPS!!!

 

[magosienne]

lol in perfumes i'll go for Dior ...j'adore !

or Cacharel, which has really nice scents.

I do like guerlaine, but I mostly use clarins for skin care. They have a really nice formula, my skin feels so soft after I've used it!

for makeup, probably lancome?

Clarins and Decleor for me.

I use Dior for my moisturizer. I used to use clinique and personally i think it's too harsh. I don't like L'oreal personally.
