Dior in Frasers is one of the most helpful and friendly makeup concessions I've been to…read more I never enter looking great but always leave looking (and smelling) amazing. Never felt pressurised to buy anything and always made to feel most important person there no matter how busy. I've shopped in the concession in Debenhams and walked out not entirely sure the purchase I made was right for me. Now I choose Frasers every time - even if product is cheaper elsewhere. It's about an overall experience and this is one to enjoy again and again.

Hmmmm. My friend and I were approached in a bar when having a quiet drink by a PR girl from this…read moreplace asking us if we wanted to enter a competition to win a completely free makeover for this company. My friend was very keen and so I went along with it too and quickly scribbled down my details. A week or so later my friend excitedly informed me that she had won and was to take along a friend for support. (Oddly I missed several phonecalls from this number when I was work for weeks - I get the feeling everyone 'won' and this 'competition' was to gain a huge database of numbers). We turned up on the day appointed and, much to my surprise, I was to get a makeover too. The makeover consisted of getting our make-up done by a make-up artist and a few curls added to our hair. The girl who did our make-up was lovely and did listen to what we liked. Next up was photo time. You know how it works - a million photos with various pieces of silk over you, with props and in differing positions. It all felt a bit silly to me to be honest, taking a good while as each of us looked on when it wasnt our turn. We were then told to leave for an hour or so and come back to see the photos. We went for a bite to eat and I was quite embarrassed when I saw how much make-up had been piled onto my face. Then back we went. This was where it got awkward. Our phones were taken from us for security and we were taken into a room with a slide show of all the photos as the lady 'ooh'ed and 'aah'ed over how gorgeous they were and ran through the prices of set photos. I have seen much better photos of myself. Regardless, we could not even afford the cheapest. Plus I'm not sure why I would want to purchase a photo of me. She left us for five minutes to decide what we wanted to buy (ha!) Luckily my friend is not quite so easily embarrassed by these things and immediately said that we had not expected it to be so expensive but thank you anyway. They swiftly removed the pile of photos and showed us out. A hard one to review - we had a nice enough day (although slightly uncomfortable) and all but I can't help feeling we just escaped being sucked in.

The cosmetics at Laura Mercier can only be described as delicious! The aim of this brand is to…read morecreate flawless, natural looking make-up and they have so much of this to choose from. As well a huge make-up range they also do their own skincare. My favourite Laura Mercier products have to be their candles, body and bath range. Their Creme Brulee Honey Bath is to die for, it smells good enough to eat and comes with the cutest ever wooden honey dipper. My Mum got a set of Laura Mercier candles for her Christmas a couple of years ago which were chocolate, creme brulee and coconut scented, they had hours of burn tim and the whole house smelled amazing. I always try to get my Mum to buy as many bath products from here as possible - the more the Mercier!

Laura Mercier is one of those brands that is mentioned time and time again in all the fashion…read moremagazines such as Elle and Vogue, as such I was expecting the prices in this store to be exorbitantly high. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the products were no more expensive than Bobbi Brown or Mac. Laura Mercier's foundations are fast becoming iconic although I personally have found them too heavy for my liking. I was very pleased when Laura released a range of mineral makeup as I find this still gives great coverage but it doesn't feel as though you have a load of slap on! I have to agree with Eleanor that the bath and body products are divine! I have very sensitive skin but Laura Mercier's products don't seem to irritate it which is great. Any good makeup artist will tell you that great makeup is nothing without the right tools and Laura Mercier's makeup brushes are the best I've tried. My mum bought me a set for Christmas and I look after them like they are made of solid gold! I bought baby shampoo purely for washing my special makeup brushes, sad but true! This store is definitely worth a look if you fancy treating yourself but very few people could afford to kit themselves out with loads of Laura Mercier products. They're not as expensive as I expected but that doesn't mean they're cheap either!

Wow, what an amazing store! Somehow I've never been into Space NK before even though I knew it had…read morea great reputation for beauty and makeup products. I've been looking for something for dehydrated skin (the bane of my life) and decided to pop in here to see if I could get some help. Now this review was nearly a 2-star because the staff initially seemed a bit like they couldn't be assed and I was struggling to catch someone's else even though I'd been loitering in the skin care area for ages. Finally I got someone to help me and she was great - actually really helpful, showing me the products and happily gave me decent sized mini tubs to take home and try. I mean, if I'm going to spend £60 on moisturiser, I want to make sure it's amazing. This store is also a lot bigger than I expected and has a range of candles/bubble baths. If you're looking for something a bit more upmarket than Boots/Superdrug for your skin care and makeup, then Space NK is pretty damn amazing.

I just love Space NK, they have a fantastic range of innovative beauty products that you'll rarely…read moresee in other cosmetic stores in Glasgow. They stock NARS, Laura Mercier and stunning Shu Uemura eyelashes that will definitely make a statement. The staff are very helpful and you can get free consultations on the best products for your skin and tips on getting a flawless complection. I was once put in the direction of "Dr. Seabagh Foaming Cleanser" after a couple of months of breakout hell. I'd tried everything and this was a last resort, It wasn't cheap, £22 for 100ml bottle and I was sceptical but I decided to give it a go. It cleared up my skin in about 5 days, it was like a miracle! I swore by the stuff for nearly two years but then I moved to Germany for ten months and it stopped working. It could have been the water there but I haven't used it since. I might pop back soon to give it another shot as when it worked the results were fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for quick results for breakouts. As far as I'm aware Space NK is the only stockist in Glasgow, hurrah! They used to stock loads of Philosophy products but they don't have so many anymore. My favourite purchase from here was a lipgloss set from Philosophy which was called "A Few Good Men", these men were, "The Muffin Man" - a lemon muffin flavoured lipgloss, "The Gingerbread Man" - a tasty gingerbread lipgloss and my favourite, "The Ice-Cream Man." Unfortunately they don't have this set anymore, but who knows, maybe one day they'll make a return. Space NK is great, quite expensive but sometimes you need to pay that little bit extra when it comes to cosmetics. They also do sales now and then so you could grab yourself a bargain!
