With over 2300 stores in 29 countries, it's about time Montreal had it's own Korean boutique! The…read moreFace Shop is slowly replacing many Fruits & Passion stores across the country since they bought them out. It's a small shop with all kinds of cute, affordable beauty regimens in appealing packaging. Although it's called The Face Shop, they do have a limited selection of products for the rest of your body such as shampoo, body wash, lotions, hand creams, nail polish etc - they even have men's stuff. I'm very happy that they sell facial foam cleansers, unlike regular face washes, these produce a thick lather that traps away dirt and oil and leave you feeling squeeky clean. They were developed for hot humid Asian climates and I always had a hard time finding them in this part of the world until now. I've been using their "Herb Day Cleasing Foam" in Acerola (cherry) scent for over a week now, I love the fragrance and texture although it'll probably be a little too drying if you don't wear moisturizer in winter months. At 5$ for a big 170ml tube, this is a steal! For such a small store, I felt like they were overstaffed the day I went - I was approached 4 times in the span of 5 minutes, it can be a little overbearing when you just want to browse on your own. Note- they are working on their North American website that will allow online orders, it's supposed to launch this month.

They decided to open their own supply business after curating the best products on the market. I needed some new message tables and visited their showroom to see what they had. They carry a large range of very high quality tables. I ended up purchasing six new tables along with oil, sheets, and a few samples from a spa line they carry call Aguavio. I'm very pleased with the prices and quality and look forward to working with Lyne on a regular basis.

Besides carrying local handmade soaps, body butters, face moisturizers, and lip balms, the store also carries their own line of shampoos and body gels - you can see these all in big large tubs, stacked on racks by the walls. Those who have sensitive skin, they have products that are free of dyes, perfumes, and colors. I purchased a Savon & Plus soap in lavender and in aloe vera - both smelling quite lovely! Prices are a little steep, compared to other stores in the area, but for a one-stop shop of stocking up on some all-natural soaps and shampoos, Lemieux is the place to go to. There is also a baby/infant clothing/accessories section in the back for gifts and such.

Cycling up Gilford, I noticed the doors open on Lemieux, and stopped in to check it out! It didn't…read morelook particularly open, as there were boxes of stock everywhere and the shelves were half-empty, but the women working said that they opened the doors early, and were ready for business. I was out of my hippy-dippy laundry detergent, so went to check out their offerings. They had lots of choices of scents, with a few surprising ones like bergamot, cedar, honeysuckle, vanilla, and almond, and I was really pleased that the names of the scents were plain and descriptive, not "forest dream" or "fresh scent" or anything like that. I was tempted by a few, but settled on a small bottle of the unscented variety. It was cool to see that the back wall of the shop was filled with industrial-sized barrels of bulk liquid detergent, in all the available scents. Then, my eye caught the big wall of cloth diapers in the back. I had just spent over an hour looking at cloth diapers online (mini-me is getting ready for training pants), so this was kismet. Unfortunately, they didn't have quite what I wanted, but they had a really impressive range of covers and all-in-one diapers from Canadian brands, and also a nice selection of granola-mama accessories: hand-quilted diaper changing pads, cloth wipes, my absolute favorite sippy cup (the ZoliBot XL, by the way. I have become a woman with **opinions** on sippy cups, just shoot me now), and other little things that looked like nice gifts for moms. It was 3pm and I hadn't had lunch yet, so I didn't dawdle much longer, but when I checked out I chatted with the people working there, who mentioned that there was a lot of stock that hadn't made it to the floor yet, and that I should check back for training diapers in a while. They were nice, didn't laugh at my crappy French, and the prices were decent. I'll be back!
