I'm so happy to have found this place while visiting from Los Angeles. We originally went to visit…read morethe crystal shop in the same plaza which was an emotional let down (just not warm and friendly). Stopped in here to see if we could leave the plaza on a positive note and we certainly did. The store is filled with a variety of scents for you to sample and choose from to make lotions, roll-on fragrance and more! There are also some great body care options like bath bombs, and other accessories to choose from to make a meaningful gift for any occasion. I remember as a kid experiencing a smaller version of this in Santa Monica and much to my surprise my 12 year old chose the EXACT scent I loved then as well. Out of hundreds of choices she chose "China Rain"!! Both ladies working there are VERY knowledgeable about the scents and also what dupes they have for expensive fragrances you would find at commercial retailers. Their enthusiasm is a little intense but all kind spirited and for the love of what they do. I think this is a definite stop for individuals and families who appreciate body care and customization products. It's a fun way to explore making personal scented items, support a local business and take something home unique. Thanks to technology and the internet, you can even order anything online and have it shipped to you from their shop. For those who are scent-sensitive they offer unscented products as well. But if you're susceptible to sneezing like my father is, stay outside or grab a coffee across the street, while the rest of the family shops and has fun.

I did not have a great experience at this store. I was given samples of a few foundation colors to…read moredetermine a good shade before purchasing. Decided on one, came back and purchased the full sized product but when I used it, the shade was different than the sample. Frustrating. So, I went back to remedy the issue. Luckily, several people on the sales staff confirmed that indeed the sample color was completely different than the product that I had purchased. They explained that the "tester bottle may have oxidized," and there was no actual shade that matched the sample. YET they refused to give me my money back because the full sized product had been opened. What kind of customer service is that? Never shop here unless you know exactly what you want and/or don't care if they keep your money.

While I was in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards to send home, and my friend suggested we…read morestop by Frances Boutique. We went in looking specifically for postcards, but unfortunately, they didn't have any. That said, Frances was absolutely adorable! They had handmade items from all over the world, cute cards, and all kinds of unique things to browse. It just wasn't quite what I was looking for on this particular trip. As I was getting ready to leave, though, I happened to notice a vending machine tucked away in the corner for Strange Collective AZ. I had seen something similar on reels when we were in San Francisco, but I could never find one in person, so I was immediately excited! Of course, there was one problem--I had left my roll of quarters at the house. So we had to leave, go get the quarters, and come back. Clearly, this vending machine had already become a mission. When we returned, we discovered that you could purchase astrology cards, temporary tattoos, stickers, and mystery items from the vending machine. The mystery items were only 50 cents, while the other items were just $1, making this such a fun and inexpensive way to get a little piece of local art. I ended up getting a sticker and a mystery item, and I got two stickers that were about as opposite from each other as you could possibly get--but both were completely unique and fun. I loved that this was such an unexpected little discovery. It was a fun way to support artists, find something different, and take home a unique souvenir without spending much money. I would definitely go back to Frances and spend more time actually shopping because there were so many cute things to look at. But let's be honest--the vending machine is what drew me in and ended up being the highlight of our stop!
