Holland and Barrett was often the haunt of many looking to stock up on huge great tubs of the awfully flavoured nonsense, but prices here rivalled. £18 for a large tub of whey, banana flavoured. Loverly.

It combines the pharmaceutical element with the top-end makeup counters, as well as offering toiletries and the like at very reasonable prices. The pharmacy has been home to Smashbox makeover days, which was particularly exciting as this makeup brand has only newly come to Belfast. Urban specialises in Vichy, Decleor, Clarins, La Roche and the like, as well as Nuxe skincare range, which is apparently highly sought after. However, despite these high quality makeup brands being one of the main features of Urban Pharmacy, the rest of the prices really are very decent. I spotted Sally Hansen's 'Airbrush Legs' for a mere £7.95, and managed to pick up a really good quality body buffer for 99p. Excellent. The customer service is second to none in Urban Pharmacy. I have always been pleasantly greeted and conversed with, and have found all the staff extremely polite and helpful. Makes all the difference. Definitely one of Belfast's best pharmacies, and undoubtedly worth a visit.

Walking through Belfast the other day I was drawn in to Gordons chemist by a deal they had in their…read morewindow, they had a great offer on mens aftershave. To be honest before I saw the sign in the window I had no idea Gordons sold perfume and aftershave. I thought they were a traditional chemsit focussing on pharmaceuticals. The store was clean and obviously fragrant as you'd expect a chemsit to be. I have one gripe about my experience of Gordons, I went in specifically fro the aftershave deal they had displayed in the window. I walked straight in the door and approached the counter that was manned by two members of staff, I then sprayed the aftershave on to some test paper and began to smell it. At this point I was waiting for one of the members of staff to ask me 'could they help with anything' but they didn't! So I hung around for another few minutes until the point it actually became awkward and then I left. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they were busy but they could have said they'd be with me in a minute and that would have solved the situation. This put me off going back in to Gordons despite their offer but this could have been a one off so I am going to give the otherwise great chemist 3 stars.

I guess most people know exactly what high street giant Boots is like, so there's no point in going into too much detail about it. Despite the fact this particular Boots is a large store carrying a vast and varied stock I just don't shop here as much as I used to. This is because I prefer Superdrug own-brand products which are labelled Vegetarian, Vegan and Cruelty Free. I find it disappointing that Boots will not commit to the Leaping Bunny Program for its own-brand items. Thus, although they pay lip service to the Cruelty Free ethos and may tell the public that their products are cruelty free, Boots could be selling products worldwide in countries, such as China, where animal testing is the norm and sadly a requirement. I just won't support this nor give my money to a company which profits from cruelty outside the European Union. No amount of heavy duty marketing, loyalty card points, two for the price of one special offers, discounts or sales offers will make me think otherwise. Hence nowadays I avoid Boots as much as possible and instead shop at Superdrug or online from companies I am confident are truly Cruelty Free on a worldwide scale.

Hello. Yesterday I was treated extremely rudely and verbally abused by a staff member at the:Unit…read more8/9, Fountain Centre, College St, Belfast BT1 shop. Woman's description: elderly, dark, shoulder length hair, wearing a black Savers staff jacket. Acted like a manager, I'm bot sure, nor did I get her name. Time: between 02:30 and 3pm yesterday Wednesday March 31st. First of all, I am hearing impaired and in my late 60"s. To scream and yell at a hearing impaired person, or anyone for that matter, I believe is unexceptable at any workplace. I was having difficulty hearing the cashier, which young lady would repeat or answer my question to how much the razors were she was trying to promote. Elderly woman on staff came running up out of nowhere screaming at me, if you take your headphones off, you can hear her. When I attempted to explain to her I am hearing impaired, She shouted, ''get over yourself, get over yourself!'' Which, fact being, I could not hear anyone whatsoever without my signal boosting headphones. All staff were wearing masks, so reading lips would not be possible for me. If only she had let me explain I am hearing impaired. She never gave me a chance. I wear a kind of headphones on the market that are a bone conduction headphones, noise-reducing headphones, and noise-isolating headphones that is used and highly effective for those who are hearing impaired. With a built in microphone that helps me to hear people.They really assist in addition to in my in-ear hearing aids. The only reason I know what events that happened and were said to me was a nice lady in the shop heard and witnessed everything and caught up with me on the street telling me how horribly I had been treated and she stated that was her behavior was inexcusable! This makes me think about how many of those customers, those unfortunate, elderly and impaired, this staff member has mistreated. I appreciate you attention to this matter.

I think the sharp sign was the initial reason I went in (and also to have a wee nosey, but what's new there?) The pharmacy itself isn't all that big, and is pretty limited in stock. I did spot Herbal Essences shampoo for a reduced price, but since I'm well stocked up on hair products, I had no need for that. I did, however, require facial wipes, and ended up searching frantically for them, but to no avail. Darn. While I was busying myself in the pursuit of makeup removing wipes, I was aware of a little old dear nattering away to the pharmacist about dear only knows what, and asking him if she had any prescriptions to pick up that day. I don't know what it was, but something made me look up. Oh wow. That pharmacist had to be the best looking in Belfast, and I knew if I bought anything, I'd be all mumbly and jumbly and just make an absolute full of myself. Stuff the facial wipes...I was out of there. Not that I minded all that much. The pharmacist more than made up for the lack of said facial wipes. Told you this was a good looking pharmacy...
