One of my favourite places and shops in Aberdeen! Mainly because it is a bit unusual shop (I like…read moredifferent and unusual :) - you can smell them (in a good way) from faaar away, their products are animal friendly, are freshly made and lovely, but they also try to reduce all the unnecessary packaging that our modern world creates (with even bigger waste :/ ). In short - not just great vision of the company, but also good products. My favourite - solid oils and henna despite of knowledgable and friendly staff, be prepared to spend there some time because you will want to sniff/try a lot! .... And you will probably spend a lot

The biggest Boots in the city centre, where you can find from beauty section to prescription…read moreservice and optician. The selection is quite wide. However I've recently tried to switch to more natural and animal friendly options and those are not so easily found there, unless you have time to read and make some research in advance. They got rid of the Boots kiosks so it's bit harder to print your offers and it's forcing you to get the phone app or rely on the leaflets sent by post. You might also find yourself asked few times during your visit if you don't need any help, which - fair enough they make sure you get all you need, on the other side it can get a bit annoying - a good visibility of staff is more than enough for me in case I need a help to find something . That's right - find - as I don't really rely on their recommendation as they rarely know more than average customer about the products and its suitability to different needs. I just don't get these department stores - they have all the make up matching systems or specialists at each f the make up stands and yet - most of their customers are leaving slightly orange or off their natural shade? I do appreciate their little refreshment section with meal deal, which might get handy after few hours of shopping in town and needing to grab something quickly
