The staff seemed quite friendly and helped give me directions to a local Foodbank, so I was able to make a donation of items I'd acquired for free earlier that day, I decided to go to the Co-op down the road if anyone here is reading this looking for a donation box. The store is probably slightly above average for a Boots store with the traditional store offering and a few fragrance counters. I didn't really like the food and drink selection being on the top floor, but the selection overall was again okay and basically the same as most good locations of Boots, albeit slightly smaller than my local Manchester branch. Decent sized store, decent selection in most parts and friendly, helpful staff who can help with local problems, rather than just finding something direct in store. 3*

I go to look longingly at the Benefit counter and try out all the divine lipsticks, eye shadows and face creams lined up in their gorgeous, retro packaging. I love the Dear John eye-cream but it's the Bad Gal kohl black eye pencil I couldn't live without!

I like this branch of Superdrug:…read more It stocks the same products as Boots at a fraction of the price. It's small enough to wander round and leave in 10 minutes. And the girls behind the counter usually play fun pop music. Last time I went it was Amy Winehouse. This time, it was The Ramones and 'Beat on The Brat.' There's all the usual toiletries you need - moisturisers, serums, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, bubble baths, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc - and a great selection of beauty products from companies like Maybelline, Rimmell and Bourgeois. I just got two new lipsticks and an eye-liner for under a tenner!

You'll find all the usuals, as well as some food, but there's no pharmacy here. The best thing about it is the deals they sometimes have - usually some shape of chocolate lurking around the till area to tempt me! They do 9 packs of loo roll for £2.99 too which is good. And last year they had dozens of reduced easter eggs, always nice if you're a fellow chocolate lover!

If you want toothpaste, deodrant, shampoo or condoms, you're onto a winner. If you want Lemon Verbena bubble bath or Clarins moisturiser, you'll have to go to Boots flagship store opposite the clock tower. The pharmacist in this branch is friendly and usually has most prescriptions in stock. The thing that's slightly annoying is the constant presence of security guards that watch everyone entering, leaving and browsing around the store. I appreciate they must get a lot of shoplifters and have a job to do - but no girls want to be watched whilst they're buying Lil-lets!

It's a proper old-fashioned chemist and pharmacy on Western Road, just into Hove, and not far from Palmeira Square. They know what they're talking about in here. It may not be the cheapest place but when I describe my symptoms they always serve up a potion or tincture that does the trick. A real lifesaver.

A good little Pharmacy this, that has relocated from the middle of St James Street (down by Gossip…read moreCafé) to the further end of town. Although it may seem a bit of a pain that its lost its relatively central location, they offer a free prescription delivery service here, so it may still be worth popping down to see if it can be of help in the future if you are struggling to do so yourself. The people here are friendly, and the clean clear design makes it easy to find your way around and locate what your searching for, even with a throbbing hangover...

I never knew that Superdrug do student discount - thanks Ross M., always good to know! (Well even…read morethough I'm not still a student, but I have a student card with no expiry date which is nice, aaanyway!...). This particular Superdrug branch is small and doesn't stock any cosmetic/beauty products; the name on the front just says 'Superdrug Health' instead of 'Beauty' as on some branches. You'll find basic toiletries and medicines, but no hair products or mascara - unless they've changed it since the last time I went in there. Seems a little pointless to me as they could stick a few of these things in and make money I think. Ah well, still it's a handy store and there is a pharmacy.

Superdrug on Western Road has quite an impressive selection as far as standard pharmacy items…read more Several aisles are dedicated to over the counter drugs, toiletries, make up, and basic hair, face and body care. The pharmacists are available for personal consultation, if necessary, and there's also a rack of pamphlets with information and answers to commonly asked health care questions. For a pharmacy, there's a wide range of snackables, including crisps, chocolate bars, bags of sweets and healthier oat and granola bars. A chiller contains a few prepared and pre-packaged small meals, like sandwiches, wraps and salads. Other sections include a display rack of travel size items (including hand-sanitizer, my exciting purchase for the day) and a rack of prescription reading glasses. I've never known anyone to buy eyeglasses from a drug store, but they seem to be a staple supply item.

My ailed friend who'd asked me to pick some up for her was surprised and all, so maybe its a great unknown fact across the student world... Well, anyway, the chemists here were friendly, patient and helpful, and pleasantly chatty. Although it was a little on the small side in here, there was still enough seating for people to park themselves on while they waited for their prescriptions. There was also a rather exciting looking machine to one side of the room that looked rather intriguing... it offered a whole host of tests and readings to let you know how healthy you are, Calculating your BMI and heart rate. Ironically though, I didn't have any change on me, as I was expecting to have to break a note for the box of medicine rather than loose some shrapnel.
