Buying Clinique in USA

[littletrev]

Do I have to declare any Clinique that I buy while I'm away. I'm buying it for myself so will it still be included in the £145 allowance. Or should I just pack it away in the case. I'm planning on buying a few things that work out a lot better value than over here.

Just pack it in the case and forget about it.

Well I have to be honest - I brought alot of Clinique last time - never occurred to me to declare it :grin: That together with all the freebies they gave me - I could have started a shop :d: Infact I had even forgotton about the restrictions!! & I bet over 50% do the same.

I am not encouraging you to not declare . I wonder what other Dibbers have done?

no,i never declare anything, throw all packaging away at the hotel who knows i didnt bring it with me.

Technically, anything you buy whether it be gifts, or for yourself should be within the £145 limit!!!!;)
If you like cosmetics/skincare/haircare etc, AVEDA is a really good buy in the US. Theres a shop in the Florida Mall.

I buy loads of clinique, and as been said before, remove all packaging. I also never take any with me, so some will be open anyway.
No never declare any.

i buy all my clinque over there too, ive never declared anything, i just through it in case, i probably spend my allowence on makeup alone, i remove all packaging, the same goes with everything, tags on clothes, trainers, you just wouldnt believe some of the stuff weve brought back

[jandlsmum]

were is the best place to buy clinque stuff from out there as it is a must for me

[winniesam]

How much cheaper is clinique stuff over there ie moisturiser, face powder?

[littletrev]

I use the 3 step skin care stuff and I can pay about £50.00 for all 3 items, but when me and my friend added the prices up on the american clinique site it came to about £35.00 excluding tax. So I would say some things are considerably cheaper.
I think I will be what I need throw away the packaging and just put in the suitcase.

dont declare it......make up is so small i dont think it should count!!

Hi Jansdslmum,

The other stores are dillards and JC Penny, they each have different promotions on at the same time, so i see which is the best, they used to give tons of freebies, but not so many now, the last couple of times ive had to ask, and then i got some,;)
