I love European lip balms (I'm looking at you, Labello!) so I was thrilled to walk by this store in Milan. It's basically the Italian version of a CVS or Walgreens, but the prices are cheaper. You can find lower end (read: everyday affordable) European cosmetics and other sundries.
If you're seeking European lotions, soaps, or shaving products, this is the place to get them. My husband loves Italian shaving lotion and we came home with a few tins in our luggage. Special soaps make great souvenirs for friends back home too.
It appeared that they have a savings card similar to stores in the U.S. that would've saved me a bit of dough, but the prices were still cheap without one. This is a 100% local store so don't expect one sign in English nor any employees that speak anything other than Italian. It seemed like we were an anomaly and everyone was fascinated with us (and super friendly to boot). read more
