Hey girls,
I'm going to Vietnam soon and I'm saving up to go shopping there, because it's a lot cheaper over in Vietnam than it is here in Australia!
Do any of you know or can any of you recommend any products or good clothing brands that I can check out over there? I'm not sure what kind of shops there are.
Thankyou!

I have no idea but go crazy! Personally I'd be on the hunt for a good foundation and would end up buying a few, aswell as blushes and brow products, maybe skincare products too as some overseas ones are actually pretty great!

Ooo Vietnam! My parents were there a couple months ago and they bought some neat stuff! For souvenirs my mum fell in love with a store called Reaching out, its operated by a local couple. If you're an art buff make sure you check out HCMC, there's plenty of galleries there, my parents loved the Lacquer and Oil and Blue Space galleries in particular. For clothing, visit the cloth market which is exactly across the road from the famous Central Market. Also, do visit Valerie Mc.Gregori's store called Song, they have some exquisite silks! Have fun!  :)

And I am spamming literally but the markets are all huge and spread over a couple floors, things sell out fast so if you love anything, GRAB IT! lol. And you would need to watch out for quality of stuff in local markets cuz lotsa high and low quality stuff is all mixed.
