I'm not one for impulse posting but last night an event had me squealing with excitement and I couldn't wait to share! Beauty Mart founded by beauty industry insiders, Millie Kendall (of Ruby & Millie) & Anna Marie Solowij (former Vogue beauty director), is a new boutique that holds 'edited beauty', basically the best selling products of over 100 brands.
A very big buzz surrounded the launch purely because stocks of the highly sought after Bioderma Crealine H20 would be available for the first time in the UK, (I even heard one girl ask for 20 bottles) as well as other french pharmacy goodies, Embryolisse and Biafine. Not only have they brought over all the best products France has to offer but also Japan, including DHC Cotton Pads & Cotton Swabs. Choosing the best products around the world and placing them all on the 3rd floor of Harvey Nichols.
Bioderma which normally retails around €5 in France is currently being sold for £16.50 at Beauty Mart which places them on the higher end of Micellar Waters but this didn't seem to be holding anyone back as they were flying off the shelves last night!
It really is so exciting seeing every product I love and adore in one place - especially ones that are hard to get hold of. Yes To Carrots Body Butter (post here), Melvita, Dr Lewins Renunail (post here), Balance Me Hand Cream (post here) to name a few, as well as so many exciting things I'd never even knew existed.
Beauty Mart seemed to have it all - hair, body and skincare sections as well as makeup stations for eyes lips and face. My favourite has got to be the 'Anna & Millie Love' wall full of their favourite bits - of which I did purchase quite a few which no doubt I'l let you know my thoughts on soon - Beauty Mart is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
Lovely post! :*
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia! Thrilled you like it! Xx
DeleteIt looks amazing but dangerous in a sense that I could spend a good amount of money in there without thinking. :p Will give it a visit today. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha exactly! Let me know what you think!xx
DeleteI've been excited for BeautyMART's launch ever since I heard about it. I visited the office before the launch and spotted the Bioderma sitting on the shelves and had a little squeal to myself. I'm definitely going to be blowing some cash when I check it out!

Seriously! Ive been 3 times in the last day! xx
DeleteI just got back from Paris last Friday and got a twin pack of Bioderma for 18 euros which is about the average price there... £16.50 is expensive for one bottle but its still cheaper than a trip to Paris ;)
ReplyDeleteMonochrome Magpie
Exactly my thoughts! xx
DeleteBioderma costs about 10€ in France, it's 5€ for a small size!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how much they are charging for bioderma!
