So me and my colleague popped into this boutique in Covent Garden at lunchtime today to pick up a free foundation sample they are giving out in their campaign.
As if British weather is not predictable enough, it started out drizzling when we left the office and turned into full blown downpour complimented by strong winds and we were so glad when we finally arrived at the store. It was warm inside and the first shop assistant to see us greeted us warmly.
after telling her our quest for foundation samples she was very diligent in asking us whether we wanted a colour match or not, and during the session she was very friendly and found out no, we weren't mother and daughter but colleagues from nearby. She had a great personality and I asked her name, it was Natalie, so shouts out for Natalie, you do this shop proud.
This was in sharp contrast to another shop assistant hovering about in the background looking like she was in a very bad mood, no smiles at all!! So the lady who served us, 5 stars, but because of this other lady, I had to average it down to 3. Anyone who walks into a store will only want to see helpful and smiling assistants, nobody wants to see a grumpy looking person in the background!
Otherwise, the shop looked pretty neat and tidy, the products were laid out in a coherent manner and it was easy to find what you were looking for. This is a place to go if you like mineral based products, which are currently actively marketed as being good for your skin as it's natural! read more
