American beauty stores: my pick of products you can find only in the US | Sali Hughes on beauty


While more and more products are available globally, there are still treasures to be found on a US drugstore trolley dash

To my regular drugstore haul of melatonin, Big Red gum, Tide stain removal pens and Aquaphor balm sticks, I may add Covergirl Clean Invisible Foundation because I’ve heard great things about its smooth finish and foolproof fingertip application, and some goodies by John Legend’s Loved01 natural skincare brand. I’ll reacquaint myself with Drew Barrymore’s sadly discontinued in the UK Flower Beauty, and browse the full selection of Physicians Formula makeup – both are excellent and affordable. Anyone not travelling to the States any time soon can at least wet their beak at Boots, where Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF50, a fragrance-free, lightweight sunscreen, is now available for £16.50, with ”nothing to declare”.
