Hi all,

'Mrs Craig' check out www.beautydirect.co.nz to get an idea of online prices.

Michelle, Elizabeth Arden cream is NZ$21 on there (for 30 ml).

Clarins is scarily priced over here with average of NZ$70-90 ish.
There is Avon (as mentioned), Body Shop and Lush but prices are not cheap - £6 product = NZ$16 ish.
Have not found many/any 'local' brands, all imports. There is an Aussie make up brand but prices are similar to Maybelline etc.

A lot of females I've met get everything duty free when they go away, and they seem to go away regularly and stock up for each other. Fully intend to do the same!

You really can get anything over here though so don't worry!!

You'll look like "you've just stepped out of a salon" and you'll definately "stop traffic!". Embarassed

Just plant some Aloe in the back yard and go native! Nutcase
