Maxfactor - Edmonton
 
I think it's a ladies question ;)

Does anyone know if its available here.

I love using it and it could take a while for me to find another brand that's as good and reasonable.

I looked in the Mall but no joy.

I would try Shoppers Drug Mart - haven't seen it but I do know that they stock Boots No7 makeup and skin care range.

If you are looking for a good range of make up and skin care I can recommend Merle Norman - I actually work for one down here and of course I have to use the stuff:eek: Seriously they have a very fab range of different types of products which I would think far out weigh the Max Factor range.

Merle Norman is a USA brand and is available in Canada also - they offer try before you buy and should offer you free skincare and colour lessons. Check out your local phone directory for your nearest store.

Thanks Gaynor

I am running out of powder foundation, Neil is off to Blighty in June but if I can't find Maxfator here I need to find another brand. Very expensive to go to UK all the time for makeup :D

I shall look into this product ;)

I haven't used make up since I used to put on my mum's dresses and shoes when I was about 6. Good to get that out the way before it mattered too much. :rofl:

Tell a lie...I borrowed an eyebrow pencil to draw on a tash when I was René for a fancy dress thing at work on Comic Relief day a few years ago.:D

No they're from before I met him. Oh and I've also seen pictures of him in a dress, not a pretty sight:rofl:

Nothing surprises me as far as my OH's choice of clothing goes when I first set eyes on him he was the singer and guitarist in a band and he was on stage wearing a fur hat, a pair of dark rimmed glasses and no shirt:eek: Oh and spraying cream on his bare chest. I thought he was an idiot:rofl:

(Just to get back on topic I'm pretty sure I've seen Maxfactor products in Shoppers)

have you tried Mac makeup? Their powder foundation is great and its so much cheaper in canada than it is in the UK, it is roughly the same price you'd pay for max factor in the UK! Honestly it's great, give it a try!!!
