If you want a refreshing approach to makeup, this store is worth a visit. I came here for a free beauty consultation and makeup lesson which showed me how to use the best of my features with subtle makeup. It feels very much like this store takes its cue from Benefit and other young and fresh brands as there are a few products, like the rouge tint, that bear more than a passing resemblance. The foundations are about the same price as Clinique’s, just so you have a reference, but the lip glosses and rouges are a little cheaper than average. If you’re a beauty buff I defy you to leave here without as much as an eye pencil.

This is a great place for good makeup and brilliant for gifts. Many a time I have bought something in here for a friend’s birthday or celebration when I’ve wanted to get them something a bit special and different. Lovely packaging and some really interesting little bits and pieces that you can’t find elsewhere. It makes a change from MAC and all the other make-up brands. Service with a smile too and just of Carnaby Street. Lovely little place and wonderful lip gloss colours!
