Not sure how I put this but I am a bit afraid of going in this shop (unless I am going in to specifically buy something) because unlike the gorgeous independent chemist in St John’s Wood - Courtney’s where they say hello and then leave you alone to browse the strong arm selling approach reminds me of morning meetings past and targets, targets, targets.
It is a nice chain and fills a gap for make up cosmetics, skincare, haircare and beauty and offers many of the latest products people talk about like Diptyque which I have to go to Liberty for or buy online. So really good for a quick gift or to find something urgently like Wow hair powder to deal with the parting when you cannot get to the hairdresser.
Like I said if I can get in and out and just buy what I need it’s fine but prepare for the sales onslaught if you don’t plan to shop. I made the mistake of going in there the other day and came out with an eyeliner I didn’t want Stila that actually turned out to be pretty rubbish FYI. I made the mistake of saying I loved the Dior On Stage Liner and bam that was it. She was persistent I’ll give her that.

Ex middle school teacher I love music, line dancing and Scottish dancing. My greatest love is English football. The great game. And my garden. I’m busy. I got involved snooping as I wanted to help this new exciting social experiment fly. And I love learning about new things like Cryto currency.

No husband no kids. I am a widow and never really wanted to be married again. I live alone and love it. I enjoy my own company. I am self contained and independent. I love to observe people and life. Why I like snooping. I have my own money and like to spend it, treat myself. Why not. I like to sew, doing jigsaws, playing bridge, scrabble. I am the treasurer of a local society, I have lots of friends and I play the piano however not very well. I sing in a choir again not very well. No better feeling than belting out a banger. Singing is pure joy for me. Oh and I like to look good too. A bit of glamour goes a long way. Ex smoker.
