A recent addition to this busy intersection- a Japanese makeup & skincare store. It has a bath &…read morebodyworks feel. Products ranging from skincare, makeup to coloured lens! This was a rather fascinating find. Considering I pay the same price range for sephora products I thought I would give this a try-I have tried : 1) Kiss me liquid eyeliner (~20$) I loved for its fine felt tip 2)lululun deep hydrating face mask A popular Japanese product (7 refills for 10$)- this is great for daily or occasional use 3)coloured contacts (~15$ each eye, prescription based one year disposables-base curve8.6, diameter 14.2 mm). As a medical professional, make sure you get the correct measurements for contacts so you don't scratch your eye! But these were fun to try out- I got them in honey and gray. 4) Liese hair dye (19$ - non bleach based products offered,with foam application) I loved this hair product as it wasn't hard to use - and had easy to follow instructions

I love this shop! I happen to be entirely obsessed with Asian skincare products and cosmetics. This…read morelittle gem has a variety of primarily Korean and Japanese items that cover a number of needs and wants - make-up, masks, lotions, lashes...you name it. I've used probably over a dozen of their sheet face masks, a peel-off charcoal mask, lotions, and I'm a big fan of the collagen candies. Every item has been high quality, and the only downside would be that I find some of the prices to be a tad on the expensive side. However, packed into the rather small space is a place where you can most definitely discover something new that you'll just have to try.

Besides carrying local handmade soaps, body butters, face moisturizers, and lip balms, the store also carries their own line of shampoos and body gels - you can see these all in big large tubs, stacked on racks by the walls. Those who have sensitive skin, they have products that are free of dyes, perfumes, and colors. I purchased a Savon & Plus soap in lavender and in aloe vera - both smelling quite lovely! Prices are a little steep, compared to other stores in the area, but for a one-stop shop of stocking up on some all-natural soaps and shampoos, Lemieux is the place to go to. There is also a baby/infant clothing/accessories section in the back for gifts and such.

Cycling up Gilford, I noticed the doors open on Lemieux, and stopped in to check it out! It didn't…read morelook particularly open, as there were boxes of stock everywhere and the shelves were half-empty, but the women working said that they opened the doors early, and were ready for business. I was out of my hippy-dippy laundry detergent, so went to check out their offerings. They had lots of choices of scents, with a few surprising ones like bergamot, cedar, honeysuckle, vanilla, and almond, and I was really pleased that the names of the scents were plain and descriptive, not "forest dream" or "fresh scent" or anything like that. I was tempted by a few, but settled on a small bottle of the unscented variety. It was cool to see that the back wall of the shop was filled with industrial-sized barrels of bulk liquid detergent, in all the available scents. Then, my eye caught the big wall of cloth diapers in the back. I had just spent over an hour looking at cloth diapers online (mini-me is getting ready for training pants), so this was kismet. Unfortunately, they didn't have quite what I wanted, but they had a really impressive range of covers and all-in-one diapers from Canadian brands, and also a nice selection of granola-mama accessories: hand-quilted diaper changing pads, cloth wipes, my absolute favorite sippy cup (the ZoliBot XL, by the way. I have become a woman with **opinions** on sippy cups, just shoot me now), and other little things that looked like nice gifts for moms. It was 3pm and I hadn't had lunch yet, so I didn't dawdle much longer, but when I checked out I chatted with the people working there, who mentioned that there was a lot of stock that hadn't made it to the floor yet, and that I should check back for training diapers in a while. They were nice, didn't laugh at my crappy French, and the prices were decent. I'll be back!

I recognized the brand from my time in New Zealand but never got the scoop about them until I walked into this shop. I believe it all started in Australia and they are pretty much taking over the world. Depending on who helps you service can be anywhere from amazing to WTH? ...at least in this location. My favorites so far are the Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash in Mandarin Rind, Rosemary Leaf, and Cedar Atlas (that's one combination). The other is the Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser which contains, you guessed it, Geranium Leaf, as well as Mandarin Rind, and Bergamot Rind. It's quite pricey but a good splurge as a gift to others and don't forget to love on yourself once in a while. They have travel sizes for those who have commitment issues. Whoever it's for, your recipient will definitely appreciate it.
