Life Pharmacy in Manukau does a pretty good range of your usual pharmacy fare with additional customer service that's pretty consistent. They recently got a re-vamp and while the store is smaller it still manages to fit in all the necessities. I love looking at their OPI section, which they display really well and they have a pretty good range of perfumes and colognes to browse. When i'm in a hair pickle I usually pick up extra bobby pins and hair ties from here, then end up buying something completely different- those salespeople are just too good! Apart from their beauty products, they have a good range of over the counter medicines should you need them. The ladies there are helpful and always make good suggestions, but don't put on too much pressure to buy (I've had to buy antihistamines for myself after a crazy reaction, and they were certainly not cheap). They also provide piercing services here and they can usually do it for you straight away or within 30 minutes. Pharmacies are definitely not cheap, but Life Pharmacy does some great deals every week that you might find handy and the staff can help you out with whatever you're after or even if you're just after some advice on a product. read more
