I'm not a huge fan of Boots in general, but this store is a good'n.
I find the shampoos and soaps and all that sort of nonsense to be pretty expensive here (I seem to be bangomg on about Bodycare a lot lately, but it's the same stuff for so much cheaper!). However, they do have some good amenities. There's a photo processing centre, a pharmacy, a food section, and - most importantly - make-up counters!
While they don't have the full shabang of staffed high-end counters, what they do have is good enough for me in most instances. They stock No 7, Maybelline, Maxfactor, Naturals, and so on. There are usually deals on the odd product too, which is always good. I love most of Maybelline's mascaras so I'm always chuffed when I can get a chunk of the price off when I need a new one. It also gives you a chance to try something new that you normally wouldn't splash out on.
Overall this Boots isn't enormous like the one at the Fort, but is big enough to stock a good range of items, and it's well laid out so that you're not lost in racks of cold medicines when all you wanted was a can of hairspray. read more
