 So, I'm wondering what products would you recommend to purchase while in New York. I live in Europe so wondering if there are marvellous products not on sale over the net that I could buy. By the way there are many products on the review products forum that I have never heard of and are not sold where I live, so I'd be grateful for any advices, whether creams, makeup or whatever!
TIA, A. |

| If I was going over to the states I'd buy the pico toner from neurotris and bring it back with me to Europe, and save myself a ton of shipping and tax. |

| If I was in NY I would go to Pratima spa - for the experience and products. She does have a website, but shipping is high and I'd would like to try out some of her products before I buy. |

Thank you erg, just checked out the Pratima Spa on the web. Looks good and certainly worthwhile trying. |

Thank you fawnie, the Pratima has now a two thumbs up!
I hadn't heard about Chagrin Valley soaps, they look really yummy, yet I can't find any store that will sell them in NY, only in Ohio. Do you know of any in NY? |

I live in NYC and I do all my skincare shopping online, now I am mostly in DIY but even before.. however you should go to saks 5th ave to check out the ridiculous prices on everything! btw. Macy's on 34th street is v good for shopping for clothes, they always have great sales and they give an additional 10% off for visitor's , u need to show your passport and get a coupon which remains valid for the entire day or may be few days... Europeans go crazy in Macys, I have seen em carrying loads of bags!  There is no tax on clothes/shoes under $100 but if you buy something expensive you can get your tax paid back at the customs on your way back, just save your receipts.. |

Many thanks Daler! Just been checking out Macy's on the net... I will leave space in my suitcase for clothing bought there! |

Cle de Peau makeup and Georgio Armani makeup. Cle de Peau makes the best concealer, Armani lipsticks are gorgeous.
American skincare products are far superior to European, IMHO. I don't believe that either SkinMedica or Lifeline is sold in Europe. Well, Lifeline can be ordered online. SkinMedica TNS Recovery Serum got a lot of praise. Skinceuticals serums are much cheaper in the US than in Europe.
Buy American brand clothing in the US, it is much cheaper than in Europe. |

| I haven't tried it but I hear a lot of great things about CeraVe which isn't available in Europe yet as far as I know. They are basic but well formulated creams, lotions and cleansers and it seems to be fairly decently priced as well. I have ordered some from the US but will have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive. |

| A friend that was over at NY about two years ago said that for clothing the best place is a Century 21 store... Is it better than Macy's? |

I don't know about Forever 21, I think it is Century 21 that my friend referred to, like here: http://www.c21stores.com/
What is Forever 21? |
