    Botanic Pharmacy is a real old school business, a nod to times gone by if you will. It's small and…read moreintimate with no flashy modern signage - just good old fashioned customer service. I was in the Botanic area and my first thought was 'is there a Boots around?' and then I remembered about the existence of this wee pharmacy so popped in on the off chance they'd have the sports rub I was looking for. What do you know? They did and the lovely lady working behind the counter gave me a number of different options to treat my injury. They also sell deodorants, shampoos and a small amount of beauty products. It was a lovely wee experience and a real surprise in the now quite modern student area of the city!

    I was actually quite a big fan of Botanic Pharmacy until yesterday. It's a quaint wee number, very…read moresmall, but stocks quite a bit. I've managed to pick up 99p hairbrushes (and yes, my hair is still very much intact), as well as some other bits and bobs, and have always been satisfied with my 'shopping experience'. Hmph, well not after my last visit. I needed to pop in for some Zovirax (darn cold sore), so Botanic was the pharmacy of choice. When my sister and I arrived, there was a man perched on a seat, looking distinctly unamused, a blonde lady who kept picking up another item, and two more people in front of her. I could see the pharmacist on the phone while everyone stood there in complete silence. Eerie wasn't the word. For two or three minutes, no-one dared make a sound, until the assistant came to the till and said "Who's next?". The first lady was waiting for a prescription, so the second stepped forward and had a very misanthropic conversation (if it could even be termed that) with Mr Personality (the sales assistant). After this awkward engagement, it was the blonde lady's turn, but apparently she too was waiting for a prescription, so up my sister and I went. I told Mr Personality that I was looking for something for cold sores, like Bonjela. He gave the weirdest look and told me that Bonjela was for ulcers. I expected him to give me an alternative, but he didn't seem to have a clue, and started flapping around, asking the pharmacist (with phone glued to ear) where the cold sore creams were. I had spotted Zovirax whilst he was dandering around, thankfully, so I took that. £6.19 for a teeny tiny tube too. Dear heavens. By this stage, I just wanted to get out of the pharmacy, so I bought it, flung it in my bag, and hoped that the next shop I ventured into would have a vastly improved customer service to what I had just experienced. Three stars, purely because yesterday was a one-off...I hope.

I guess most people know exactly what high street giant Boots is like, so there's no point in going into too much detail about it. Despite the fact this particular Boots is a large store carrying a vast and varied stock I just don't shop here as much as I used to. This is because I prefer Superdrug own-brand products which are labelled Vegetarian, Vegan and Cruelty Free. I find it disappointing that Boots will not commit to the Leaping Bunny Program for its own-brand items. Thus, although they pay lip service to the Cruelty Free ethos and may tell the public that their products are cruelty free, Boots could be selling products worldwide in countries, such as China, where animal testing is the norm and sadly a requirement. I just won't support this nor give my money to a company which profits from cruelty outside the European Union. No amount of heavy duty marketing, loyalty card points, two for the price of one special offers, discounts or sales offers will make me think otherwise. Hence nowadays I avoid Boots as much as possible and instead shop at Superdrug or online from companies I am confident are truly Cruelty Free on a worldwide scale.

Hence it's convenient for picking up prescriptions, however it can be extremely busy so be prepared for a wait on occasion. It's a very good Pharmacist and worth a visit to get advice and medicine for minor ailments before heading to your Doctor. Sells a range of cosmetics, perfume and beauty products as well.

My first experience of the chain was within Queen's Student Union where I would gleefully walk in with a full student loan and come out brandishing goods from perfume, tweezers and face packs. I found it difficult to control my purchasing needs when I entered this store as everything was really cheap and scented beautifully. However, I have mastered the art of spending wisely which helps as my nearest store is located on the Ormeau Road just a few minutes from my house. This particular Medicare has much more to offer than the smaller unit in Queen's Student Union as it has a full pharmacy counter to deal with all illnesses and drug prescriptions. Yet, because of its greater range and pharmacy counter this store can be particularly busy so do expect a queue. Same goes if you're planning to purchase something you don't want others to see...could be embarrassing when most residents of the Ormeau Road can see what's in your shopping basket.

I think the sharp sign was the initial reason I went in (and also to have a wee nosey, but what's new there?) The pharmacy itself isn't all that big, and is pretty limited in stock. I did spot Herbal Essences shampoo for a reduced price, but since I'm well stocked up on hair products, I had no need for that. I did, however, require facial wipes, and ended up searching frantically for them, but to no avail. Darn. While I was busying myself in the pursuit of makeup removing wipes, I was aware of a little old dear nattering away to the pharmacist about dear only knows what, and asking him if she had any prescriptions to pick up that day. I don't know what it was, but something made me look up. Oh wow. That pharmacist had to be the best looking in Belfast, and I knew if I bought anything, I'd be all mumbly and jumbly and just make an absolute full of myself. Stuff the facial wipes...I was out of there. Not that I minded all that much. The pharmacist more than made up for the lack of said facial wipes. Told you this was a good looking pharmacy...

Additionally all their own brand items carry the leaping bunny symbol indicating clearly they are certified by Cruelty Free International. I visit Superdrug frequently to pick up their exclusive range of 'B' makeup which is vegan. It's an amazing cosmetics range and outstanding quality with the B makeup Primer being the best I've ever tried. The lipsticks and nail polishes come in a vast array of colours too and the eyeshadows are beautiful to use. All Superdrug own brand products are clearly labelled, highlighting if they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. In particular the Vitamin E skincare, sun care and dry skin ranges are awesome. An ethical super store!
