The real kicker is that I have found the staff at my local Covent Garden store to be quite approachable, friendly, and willing to help even a girl in trainers pick out tinted moisturizer.

B 

At prices comparable to what I had been spending at Clinique in years past, I have happily purchased cosmetic products that make me feel all warm and fuzzy.  B shops, like their sister stores, are designed for your testing pleasure.  If you happen to be celebrating – or you just have occasion to be pampered – B provides a reasonably priced make-over service that includes a cocktail.  I would recommend this to someone on holiday or planning a special night out.  It would be especially nice prior to a photo shoot!

Lush http://drewandjengotolondon.com/2009/03/lush/ Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:00:58 +0000 http://www.drewandjengotolondon.com/?p=558 According to Jen, Lush is a luxury worth working into your grocery or personal maintenance budget.  If you are already spending money on high end soaps, natural products, animal free concoctions, or anything specially designed for troublesome skin problems – then Lush is definitely worth a try.  The staff in each shop are friendly and knowledgeable about Lush products as well as common skin conditions plaguing their customers.   Multiple stations are sprinkled throughout a space designed to put you at ease for your testing pleasure, but please do resist the urge to eat what you see.

Lush

I spent less on the facial cleanser, toner, and face mask purchased than I would have spent at Clinique or Whole Body.  Ingredients are clearly listed on each product (and certified, if vegan).  Hopefully my skin will thank me for being so smart.
