Actually, if you notice, once one brand launches, say, AHA's, all other brands follow suit eventually. That's cause you're right - they share the same laboratories. They pay to use the ingredients these labs have come up with, and I think the brand that pays the most, gets to launch their products first.
Sometimes, I read the components label of skincare and I realise that some non-high-end brands have really good stuff in them! Sometimes even better than the high-end products, esp when it comes to body moisturisers. There are brands here like In Essence, Jurlique, and Natio, that are really good!
elindra, are you still keen on the Aussie Badger brand skincare products?

It's products are pretty good I would say and I don't mind buying it again. MPB loves their face moisturizer
UG Bang is it? -

I don't care... as long as I get to use them without even spending a cent!

elindra, are you still using L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom perfume? I got sick of waiting for it here cause the salesperson says Singapore usually snatches up the bulk of it before sending it onward to Australia.
So the salesperson suggested that I use the room spray as a perfume instead, because she does that herself. The alcohol content is higher, but the volume is greater too and it comes with a nice atomiser pump. So I did just that!
Bo Hee Har Ah Hoh! (No fish, prawns also can-do!)I'm tempted to try their skincare products too!
Of course I'm using it
It's one of my fav and I know MPB steals it to use too. Haha
I love their products
Their Rose perfume with 4 different roses is fantastic too and so is their Green Tea perfume
Love their creams as well :)
-
They gave me sample packs of a lot of their other products, and I was super duper impressed when I read the labels. Seems that they do use good ingredients for their products! So we're not just paying for the brand, but for the quality ingredients.
Sometimes when I lean in to help turn the patients, they will comment that I smell nice.
And it's usually L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom or Woods of Windsor's Forget Me Not.

L'Occitane, to me, is very overpowering..used it before and people commented like i bathe in perfume like that..and it's only a dab
-
I think it was called Beauty Credit??? Need to go home to check
Err I think the promo is over coz I think it was like end of last year

Their products use a high %age of Essential Oils, and that's why just a dab and it lasts and lasts.

I don't consider Coach branded tooBut I like their bags for the durability and clean lines. Good for work
I don't like Prada/Gucci/LV because too many fakes around and I think LV is ugly
I prefer brands like Luella, Miu Miu & Tod of London
-
i only like Gucci. i bought a men leather belt from Gucci recently
-
i see people selling GAP, Adidas etc considering them branded.... so i guess to diff people, definition is very different..
-
Please note that: There is a difference between high-end branded designer goods and simply branded stuff.
