I love to smell the shop as I am walking down the street although this then makes it impossible to avoid going in. Everyone I know ends up with something from here from me for either their birthday or Christmas. I particularly favour their really fizzy bath bombs, but at £2 a pop only buy them for myself as a treat. The soaps are really pretty and look good as a decoration on the side of the bath but i never buy them to be used as I find they dry my skin out, as does any soap not just soap from here. Everything is handmade and after recieving one of their gift sets for Christmas I really loved the fact that there was a picture of the person who had made the products actually on the bottle.

Once inside you are met by an amazing selection of natural and handmade bubble bath bars and bath bombs as well as soaps and shampoos and they also do great gift boxes in all prices which are a godsend for men who are looking for a present for the female in their life. The girls are really friendly and after finding out who you are buying for and what your budget is will advise you on the best products to go for. The bath bars are my favourite - they are just so indulgent and they leave your skin feeling baby soft and really moisturised. It does leave a bit of a mess in your bath afterwards but this is a small price to pay to feel like a godess!

I ended up getting 2 new pallets, because of course I need -more- makeup. It's a neat store, large and well laid out. It is brightly lit, like you'd find in the makeup area of a department store. Its a bold choice, but it works. The prices seem fair compared to Asda & Tesco.

I loved this street and indoor shopping malls, as it is boasts a wide range of stores, which are suitable for me, and I have visited this shopping area nearly too often, and do enjoy browsing through, even they have a great car park area all over the carlisle area. Even there are many great restaurants, cafes, shops, bookstores, clothes stores, mobile phone stores, and everything else. I feels like I can be able to get everything in these streets. Once time my sister have came over to Carlisle to stay with me, and we went out for a day worth of shopping experience, and my sister originally thought it would be rubbish day, but she was amazed on how great the town are, and offers loads of things, and she was overly impressed with the location, and everything else, as it is quite near to the train station, bus stations, and even near to the car parks. She said that she would definitely come back there again. so after a month or so she came back with pocketful of cash! For a shopping experience, I would recommend you come during the good weather, as it is open roofed on the Scotch and English Streets. But if it is raining, and you can go in the glass roof topped mall in the Lanes Centre. It is very conveniently placed and totally near to everything else! Even near to the park, and near to the River Eden, and near to the nightlife as well!

It has a…read morefantastic range of womenswear including many designer lables such as Star by Julien Mcdonald and John Rocha. I totally love the Pineapple sportswear and Oasis is fantastic although the outlet is a little small with a limited amount of their clothing. They do a nice range of Wedding dresses which are a lot cheaper than the boutiques and you can buy them off the peg. I also really like their bridesmaid dresses which are great quality. The shop is spread over three floors which are all really accessible with the escalators and there are lifts aswell. The range of perfumes and beauty products is huge and there are often some great batgains on the box sets. I also really like the childrenswear and in particular the Junior J range by Jasper Conran. It seems to wash really well which is great when you have a toddler. The menswear is on the bottom floor and stocks a lot of designer labels and also some surprises such as Cragghoppers which I only noticed the other day. Their Homewares section is really big and again includes items from the designers, although it does seem to be quite expensive and you are paying for the name. The cafe is huge and overlooks the castle which is a really nice view. In store there is also a wedding list service and a free personal shopping service. There are also some toilets located next to the cafe which are always really clean.
