Hi all
I'm new here and this is my first post

I'm not sure if these are available in Australia, but I'd definitely recommend picking up Bioderma and Embryolisse products whilst in France!
The Bioderma micellar cleansing solutions are impossible to find in most places and ridiculously overpriced on the internet. They're amazingly gentle and effective cleansers. Embryolisse does a brilliant moisturiser that I like to bring with me on trips.
If you're into fragrances, I'd also recommend checking out Serge Lutens and Caron in Paris. Caron does really beautiful face powders and both Serge Lutens and Caron have cosmetics which are difficult to find elsewhere.

In Italy, I'd recommend checking out Santa Maria Novella. They have some very natural skincare products and I also love their scents. Very Italian and the packaging is lovely.
