I was back in here again today (for longer than I should admit too - so much choice!) but noticed…read moresomething I should have pointed out in my last review - which is especially useful in the lead up to Christmas. Superdrug are doing a promotion where you get 5% off 1st class stamps. Now, this might not seem much but then you add up all those pennies on your Christmas card stamps it could go towards an extra present or perhaps a wee new lip gloss for yourself. As far as I know, Superdrug is the (or at least one of the) only places to do this promotion. You can't even get it when buying in bulk from the post office. They do it on and off throughout the year so it's definitely worth stocking up on your stamps during these periods. I never thought I'd be so enthusiastic about stamps.

This is, by far the best Superdrug store in Glasgow and there are a lot of reasons why I like it so…read moremuch; 1. It has everything you could ever want from such a shop; medicines, hair products, skin care, electrical goods, batteries, a huge range of cosmetics and much more 2. Due to it's location it is always bustling, especially on weekends but that doesn't stop the staff from being super friendly and helpful. Even if they are rushed off their feet they still take the time to help you out if you have a query or check their stock if the item you want doesn't appear to be there. 3. They always have fantastic offers on. If I go in for one thing - I usually come out with about ten more as the offers really are too good to resist including my favourite L'Oreal shampoo nearly always being on a buy one get one free offer. 4. They always have lots of staff on so even when it is busy you never have to wait long in the queue. 5. They stock make-up such as GOSH, Bloom and Barry M that aren't often stocked in other stores. 6. They have a Superdrug cheek tint that is very similar to that of Benefits "Benetint" I found this after years of using Benetint and can tell you that there is absolutely no difference, well apart from the fact that "Benetint" is around £23 and Superdrugs own is £1.91!!!!! 7. For the past few months they have had an offer on where you get 25% off Superdrug goodies and 10% off all other goodies if you fill in a short survey online. Wow... those are just a few reasons but if you are looking for a Superdrug, I would say this one is the best.

L'Occitane products smell amazing and are perfect for gifts or if you feel like spoiling yourself…read more This branch if beautifully laid out and everything is very organised and has a relaxed atmosphere and also smells absolutely amazing. My favourite items are the extra gentle soap bars, they are reasonably priced at £7 a bar and they leave your skin feeling super duper smooth, plus if you have sensitive skin like me they are so gentle and I've never had a problem with them unlike some other bath products from other companies. My gran loves hand cream and every year I'll try and get her new hand cream to try out. Last Christmas I bought her L'Occitane rose hand cream and it smells delicious, it came in a reasonable sized tube and she'd been using it every day since Christmas and there's still plenty left so definitely worth the price tag! The staff in this branch are very friendly and knowledgeable about all the products, making this store a fabulous place to browse.

Oh how I love L'Occitane!…read more They sell the most fantastic beauty and bath products - amazing! Situated in Fredrick Street, L'Occitane is just around the corner from the main shopping street in Edinburgh, Prices Street and so it is a handy place to reach. L'Occitane sell vast range of beauty products including makeup, fragrances, skincare, hair care, bath and shower products. I love to come here just to smell the beautiful soaps and spray their perfume, as everything smells good enough to eat! Their products are all of excellent quality, and so some good can be quite pricey, but most are very reasonable with skincare products costing about £30. I am completely addicted to their hand cream, which costs about £17 and works like an absolute charm - it makes my hands super soft and they smell delicious too. Its a win-win situation! I wouldn't buy all of my beauty products here as it would definitely add up over time, but for certain things which I want to be of great quality, I will always buy them from L'Occitane.

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!

Most Perfume Shops aren't very big but this one is the smallest one I've been in. Despite its small…read moresize it still stocks a huge range of perfumes. You will get classic smells here but they specialise in brand new fragrances. You will also find high end perfumes here such as Marc Jacobs Daisy and Lola, Chloe fragrances and Chanel.

Visiting Jo Malone is something that I wish I did more often, but sadly my budget doesn't stretch…read morethat far so it is someone of a treat. Situated inside Princes Square, you are greeted warmly 'Welcome to the World of Jo Malone' and their intention is clear: to make you feel as welcome as possible because let's be honest...who visits Jo Malone other than to purchase a gift/treat for themselves? The shop smells INCREDIBLE and it should do because they have so many nice fragrances that clearly work together. The table directly infront of you houses sample candles/perfumes of each of their most popular fragrances which you can sample. On either side, there are shelves stacked beautifully (and very precisely; everything has a place) of various lotions and other products they offer. The till counter is to the left hand side and to the right, there is an area where you can receive complimentary arm and hand massages. I knew exactly what I wanted but I took the time to smell the other candles. In my opinion, nothing is as good as the Wood Sage & Sea Salt though and the girl very kindly boxed and bagged the candle for me. Yeah £42.95 is perhaps crazy for a candle...but it's worth every penny. I love it. I also got myself booked in for an arm and hand massage which I'm really looking forward to! The girl who served me was lovely and took the time to chat to me on a more personal level then just a customer which I really appreciated. The nicest touch came the following day though when a hand written card came through the post thanking me for my custom. A little much? I don't think so actually. It rounded off my treat quite nicely and I'm heading back soon to pick up the perfume.

As soon as you walk in here the smell is amazing, I would love to bottle all the smells together…read moreand make one special fragrance. Their bestsellers include; Pomegranate Noir, Red Roses, Lime Basil & Mandarin and Grapefruit all of which of amazing. The packaging here is also beautiful, white packaging with the Jo Malone logo and black ribbon, making it an ideal gift or a special treat for yourself. They also do little boxes with small trial fragrances and bath goods inside which is a great idea for wedding favours. The candles smell amazing and they look just just as good so if your bank balance allows then it would be gorgeous to have around the home. The staff are also really helpful in this branch and will be able to help you find the perfect scent for you.

I like this Superdrug and when I'm at the Fort, I always pay a visit. It's a good sized store with…read morelots of beauty brands on offer such as MUA, Make Up Revolution, Rimmel, Bourgois etc. I particularly like this Superdrug for the Make Up Revolution selection because I literally can't resist! The store is well laid out, tidy and all the aisles are clearly marked. At the back of the store, there is a treatment area and you can book in for eyebrow waxing etc. I've never tried it but it's handy to know it's there if I'm popping in to buy things and need to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. They stock a good variety of skincare and haircare brands. Nothing on the high end brand scale spectrum, but all the usual 'drugstore' brands you would expect to see. There are always offers on such as 3 for 2 or a price reduction etc which are handy to look out for. And if you need to stock up on toothpaste etc, it has everything you need! Overall, one of the better Superdrugs I have been to. It doesn't feel cluttered (which I find some of the city centre branches do) and they have a pretty good stock of testers etc, which is always handy!

I came in to get some lip balm due to suffering from chapped lips, I was able to find what I was looking for, and the staff seemed friendly with fast service at the checkouts, and help to find the product I was looking for. (Impressive as the checkout area was only small, given the size of the store and the fact there are no self-service checkouts) As a small store, the selection is limited but is decently stocked given their size. Due to the size of the store, the facilities are limited compared to what one would expect from Boots, and offers the bare minimum, while also shutting earlier than other nearby locations, at 6 pm. 3* - OK, good location but much better pharmacies nearby from Boots and rival brands.
