Part Shoppers and part Sephora, this is a makeup junkies dream come true. Located in the Shops of…read moreDon Mills it's an extremely clean and well laid out space. Not cramped aisles like other stores. Major plus on having enough staff around that you can easily get assistance when needed. You can try products out and get mini makeovers They carry more high end products like YSL, Bobbi Brown and Chanel and some midrange ones like Cargo. Plus they have a few brands you won't find in Sephora like a brand from Iceland, Darphin etc. By chance I picked up one of those magnifying mirrors (18x magnification) and scared myself shitless! Do i really look like that up close?! Ughh...i thought I plucked my eyebrows pretty decently. Well oh my..not even close to a decent job! I ran all the way to the counter to pay for my mew best friend. I remember they used to have a brow bar where you could get your brows done but I don't recall seeing it this time. They also have a perfume bar here so start spraying! You can collect and redeem optimum points so save up and splurge here!

I came to Murale yesterday as I was in the area. My dad wanted to pop in Murale to see what latest…read morecosmetics there were. The face cream I use can ONLY be purchased at Holts and since I purchase mine from Yorkdale, the location is a bit far from my home. If only Murale carried my cream... Having said that, Murale for me carries nothing out of the ordinary (Chanel, Nars, Clarins, etc...). Because I have been using my cream for many years, any new products would just fly by me. Murale does carry a lot of new brands I don't see anywhere else so if you are into trying new products, Murale would not be a bad stop. Later in the night, I went on their website and checked out all the products they carry - that is a good start to see if the store carries your particular brand. The ONE thing I love, of course, is the fact that you can redeem your Optimum points, and because some of the products here range $200-$300, it would be great to save up all your points and splurge here. Not sure if it would be a good idea, but Murale does a lot of makeup sessions, and I have always wanted to try the Chanel seminar. This is a place I wouldn't come out of my way, but it is nice to drop in when in the area. The sales associates are always keen to help and super smiley. *Note: the 2 images I downloaded from Google Images just to show examples of the exterior and interior store.*

Rachel is clearly fulfilling her calling and following her passion. I purchased some items (attached picture) from the SeneGence line, as well, because I absolutely loved the way they looked and felt- super rich in pigment and very nourishing and hydrating, and I am so excited to be able to add a bit of color and sparkle to my face, the next time I need. Thank you Rachel!

I am super picky when it comes to makeup and I always just opt to do my own for special events. I…read moreconsider myself a very good 'makeup applier' as it is so it's rare for me to let anyone else touch my face. After some persuasion, I agreed to have a makeover done during one of the 'ladies' nights' that a friend of mine had organized. Rachel Renna was the makeup artist that they had hired for the evening. It didn't take long for me to figure out that Rachel is no ordinary makeup artist. She is the next big thing (mark my words). She is one of the most talented artists I have ever come across, and that's including all the encounters I've had with makeup artists throughout my TV career. The thing about Rachel is that she just 'gets' her clients' style. She had one look at me and knew exactly what I would love and what I would hate. Above and beyond that, she handles a brush like no one I've met before. The way she builds, the way she blends, the way she shapes brows... OH MY! The truth is, my words cannot do Rachel's talent justice. She is the best there is when it comes to makeup artistry (I've attached the pictures to prove it) and it wont be long before she becomes an industry leader. You better get in on this while you still can because now that the word is officially out, her waiting list just got a helluvah lot longer.

I have known the Gee family for well over 10 years personally. I live overseas and and made an…read moreappointment for my brows to be done and attended the appointment and on this occasion received great service. While there, I scheduled an appointment for a facial, and explained that I would be back in Toronto and spoke to the facialist at length about what we would do on that appointment. I left my CC to secure the appt. I received a text confirmation AND email confirmation as well as a form to fill out prior to the appointment as well as a note that cancellations less than 24 hours prior to appt would result in being charged for the cost of the appt. I have no issue with this. Today on March 3, less than one hour before my confirmed appointment I got a call from Gee Beauty explaining they needed to cancel the appointment, with no reason, couldn't offer a new rescheduled appointment, didn't offer an alternative time, or day and when I questioned why and how they can do this but charge their customers when they cancel- the person hung up on me. I called back twice and my calls went straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail- no reply, I then called later the same day and Sarah picked up, I explained the situation and asked about the poor service and she hung up on me. So AVOID GEE BEAUTY - a once amazing, customer centric family run business is now being run by a bunch of ignorant, deplorable, rude and entitled kids that hang up on clients. Take your $300 and spend it anywhere else for a facial. NO one deserves to be treated like that.

Alas, it is not free anymore if you make a purchase, but the prices are still reasonable ($60 for full face, $30 for one feature, $90 for total glam). Most recently, I had Domonic do my eye makeup before a photoshoot. It was like a mini makeup lesson, he explained what works best for my eyes and gave some tips and instructions. In about half an hour he did eye shadow, brows and applied false lashes (you have to buy them from the store, you aren't allowed to bring your own lashes from home). The displays are always clean and well organized. I find it less chaotic compared to the Eaton Centre location for sure.

I'm so glad this new gem replaced the old NCIX. I can't have enough good things to say about Moss…read more First of all, if you like Asian skincare and haircare products, this is your spot. They sell a large variety of Japanese, Korean and other brands from Asia all in one place. It's like going to pacific mall except not hectic and full of crazy people. The store has such a cute aesthetic too, very IG worthy if you're into that. It's just so cute and gives a vibe for you to stay and make yourself at home rather than "get what you need and get tf out" They also have a salon attached to it - looks amazing and aesthetic. They offer a lot of different hair services. The most amazing part is the eyelash boutique they have in the back with nice comfy beds, a blanket and it's just so comfy, I definitely fell asleep during my service. Tiana is an eyelash god. She has the most delicate hands and I seriously felt nothing when she was doing it. I've had lash technicians poke at my eyes and I've got to say this was the most comfortable experience I've had. I got the mega diamond lashes done and damn mama, they are THICCC. What seriously surprised me is how light and fluffy they are - I expected heavy lashes which I can barely see out of (which is what my heavy mink lashes feel like) but nope! Even when you touch them, they feel like real thick lashes. My mom can't stop touching it and I've had mad compliments in the one day I've had them on. Tiana told me they're high quality lashes from Japan and you can definitely see and feel the difference. I'm not just hyping this place up, you need to try and you'll definitely feel the difference for yourself. If you've ever had your lashes done before and don't expect to be surprised, boiiiii you don't know what you're in for. Overall 5/5 service, quality and everything else. Moss, thank you for being here! You're the gold in FMP.

I originally heard about the eyelash extension services at Moss when I was getting my hair done at…read moretheir neighboring salon (which was great!) so I thought it would be a good idea to try it out. I am absolutely in love with the results! My short straight Asian lashes were transformed into the wispy fluttering lashes that I've always wanted! They looked completely natural as well and I received many compliments by friends and family on how great my lashes looked! First off, the atmosphere inside Moss was clean and fresh, and their lash stations were located in a very pretty area at the back of the store that was nice and cozy. My lash tech did a great job in making sure I was comfortable the entire time, and explained what she was doing so I was never in the dark about what was happening (even with my eyes closed haha). I got the Love Classic set and the whole process took just a little over an hour and a half. At one point I was so relaxed I ended up falling asleep! I will definitely be coming back to get fills when I can, and would gladly recommend this place to anyone wanting to amp up their lash game!

The thing is that they carry quite a few items with synthetic fragrances that are not marked as synthetic and are passed off as green when they are anything but. I have asked several times to at least mark such products because reading the labels and ingredient list on the website does not tell you anything and who wants to research everything they buy on the items home website as well? We pay a premium at the detox market for them to do the vetting for us, but they are not doing the vetting on fragranced items and they don't care to. Who would do a detox using petroleum, derived synthetic fragrances? Nobody who knows what they're doing. I don't care if a synthetic fragrance is pthalate-free, I care that it's in the product at all because it will make me very ill. For example, most of the LOHN candles have synthetic scents in them. I had to go through a four hour transaction to find out why the candles my girlfriend bought me were making me ill when they came from the detox market. This is a very major concern because synthetic fragrance made from petroleum is not green or clean. Also, whenever I have received teas from the detox market, they don't say they come from organic herbs, and I'm quite sure some of the triangle teabags had micro plastics in them again you have to be vigilant and ask they are not doing the work for you; you are just paying them too. Otherwise, I have found the customer service very helpful and some great brands available. In my mind, there's too much plastic and packaging for some of those products so I need to be mindful of that when purchasing. Please read all the ingredients because there is a spectrum of "Eco" products available here. Mara, Agent Nature, Innersense, Living Libations and some goop products are good. Living Libations is as clean as you can get as well as being Canadian! Kjaer Weis is the cleanest make up with the least packaging and the most sustainable packaging.
