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.
