Superdrug is a good store for things such as make-up, skin care, hair products and many other…read morethings. I find this store a good place to shop as not only is everything set out in a way where everything is found easily, but also it is also a lot cheaper than certain other stores. It has every basic cosmetic need and despite it being much cheaper, the quality of the make-up is as good as the more expensive version found in other shops and the store is never over crowded. All the staff in any superdrug that I have been to have always been kind, warm, helpful and friendly towards me.

Sally is a place where once I invested third of my salary(oops),but I never regret that as the…read moreproducts I bought kept me happy for a very long time. Sally's have a great choice of a nail polish, especially if there is a need to match colour for one particular event - they supply it in small bottles, so used once and thrown away if not used - not abig loss. I was also impressed that I found "odd" colours in there -bright green, yellow. Then I also got artificial hair extentions - I know, it is not a real stuff, but very good price and it is good for image changing or hiding natural hair if its a bit difficult to control or simply needs a haircut.

Its products aren't cheap - but if you like your bath and beauty products smelling gorgeous, being…read moreethically produced and not tested on animals, you've certainly come to the right place! The Body Shop prides itself on supporting fair prices for growers in the Third World and helping communities support themselves. None of its products are tested on animals and for years it's been a leader on the environment - long before it became trendy to reduce our carbon footprint. For this reason, I would rather pay more for the lovely smelling products at the Body Shop than the cheaper but definitely nastier alternatives. I would've given this store 5 stars but unfortunately I had a bad experience at this particular store. The staff were incredibly rude and treated me like I was scum. Not only did they totally ignore me and my friend at the till but then when I asked about a special offer they were really patronising. We left the store in shock and disgust. Not the service I've come to expect from The Body Shop - and certainly not how I treated my customers when I worked at this chain in New Zealand! Just goes to show how a bad experience can taint your view of what is otherwise a very reputable brand.

Dressing up is always a ball of fun and Party Mania, located on Burleigh Street in Cambridge, has…read moreit all! Whether you want to dress up as Harry Potter, Catwoman, Sweeney Todd or even a Palm Tree you can have confidence that Party Mania will have it. The store is colourful and it's large space means it can hold a great number of props, wigs and costumes, but watch out because it can get extremely busy around seasonal holidays. Although the store is full of the weird and wonderful it is over priced, in my opinion, and the staff are not always the friendliest. When you walk in you expect this to be an amazing party shop, because of it's size and vibrancy, but instead you get a shock when a tiny pot of fake blood will cost you over a fiver! I recommend finding another party shop, if you can, to save yourself some pennies.

Firstly, I am experienced in eyebrow waxing and I have been to many Benefit Brow Bars before, and…read morealways received excellent service. However, the technician was the most poorly trained lady I have come across in all my years of getting waxes. This time, I was highly disappointed. I explicitly asked for "just a tidy-up" and a natural finish. I was slightly concerned when her poor control of the wax spatula ended in my entire wrist (and watch...) being covered in wax for the heat-test, but just put this down to clumsiness. Unfortunately, I will now have to walk around with the results of her incompetence visible to the world for the next month. My formerly bushy, full, and well-kept eyebrows have been reduced to two uneven lines a few hairs thick. The arches don't even fall in the same place above each eye! One eyebrow is half as thick as the other (I measured it with a ruler!), and they don't start and end in vaguely near the same place. The worst, however, is that, instead of having a smooth lower edge, one eyebrow is totally jagged, with hairs missing vertically through the brow - which looks ridiculous. Ironically, the lady then tried to sell me a gel to 'fill in sparse patches' - which she herself had just created! Of course, you get so covered in make up and powder that you don't notice the effect until you get home and wash all the gunk off. Otherwise I would have complained immediately and directly. All in all, I am extremely disappointed. I will never go to another Benefit counter again now I know how poorly some of the staff are trained. Please, save your brows and your money and go elsewhere!

Terrible service. I was looking for my shade of power when a worker named Cynthia said something to…read moreme that I didn't quite hear as there was a customer between us. She then got closer and said "Excuse me I'm talking to you" in a very impolite manner. I then looked at her and asked for a my shade and she said I had to get it from the drawer. I assumed she meant the draws under the counter so I reached for it and she practically yelled at me saying she had to go and get it. When she came back she just handed it to me and didn't even look me in the eye and walked off. The lady at the counter who took my money (I didn't catch her name) was alright but not great. I get that the store is tiny and busy but that's no excuse to be so rude to your paying customers. I will be buying online from now on, if at all.
