Cosmetics & beauty
Indulge yourself in a range of cosmetics and beauty products to suit every personality, choose from the list below:
Aveda
Only environmentally sound beauty products are sold in this store and Aveda (www.aveda.com) is well on the way to achieving its long-term goal – 100% organic ingredients. Completely natural products for the hair, skin and body (they even make tea), are a pleasure to use.
The Body Shop
The pioneer of cosmetics using natural ingredients, the Body Shop (www.thebodyshop.co.uk) still sells good quality products that are environmentally friendly and kind to the skin. With a variety of product ranges to choose from and several stores throughout the UK, there’s something for everyone.
Crabtree & Evelyn
This quintessentially British brand used to have an older following, however since bringing out results-led lines, such as 60-second hand fix, and new fragrances, such as La Source, Crabtree & Evelyn (www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk) have recently developed a younger following. In addition to toiletries they also sell teas, jams and a gardening range which make great gifts for people.
Lush
Deli style packaging (complete with use by dates) and unusual names (such as creamy candy bubble bar) make Lush (www.lush.co.uk) a little less conservative than other cosmetic brands. However, if you’re looking for something natural yet quirky, then Lush is for you.
Molton Brown
One of the British classics, Molton Brown (www.moltonbrown.co.uk) products contain exotic ingredients such as seaweed and temple tree milk and are world renowned for luxury and indulgence. Furthermore, they do an excellent travel range so you can pamper yourself as soon as your holiday starts.
