London Beauty Shopping

A couple of weekends ago my Mum and I went to London as an end-of-exams/birthday thing! We had such an amazing time and I took a few photos so I thought I would share them with you.

The train station was sooooooo empty; it looked like something out of an old Western film!

We found this lovely little café right next to South Ealing Station; beautifully simplistic interior, delightfully friendly people and delicious food. Would really really recommend it, we went there every day for breakfast and loved it!

We wasted no time in getting to our favourite shop; Harvey Nicks! When we went to London last year my Mum fell in love with the Georgio Armani Maestro foundation and so in this pic she is testing out their liquid blushers (Maestro Mediterranea Fusion Blush).

We spent ages and ages at this station of goodies! It has a mishmash of high-end and drugstore products that were really fun to look at.

The food bit in Selfridges is amazing! This was the super-sized corner; these Rice Krispies Sqaures were huge and so were the Love Hearts sweets to the left! Of course the beauty bit is amazing too; when we went, there was a thing called 'The Beauty Project' going on which included a big hall with all the beauty products that 'Selfridges Loves'.

I nearly hyperventilated when I saw the Jelly Belly Beans! Our favourites are the cinnamon ones. We bought a big bag on day one and then came back to Selfridges on day two to get some more! Soooooo yummy!

The Chanel display at Selfridges was beautiful and ethereal!

Everything at Selfridges is so cool and funky!

My favourite place of the whole trip was the Kiko shop on Regent's Street! It's amazing!

It's an amazing make-up experience; you are encouraged to try everything and although the shop assistants are incredibly busy, they are very willing to answer any questions you may have. I asked a lovely lady about their Colour Correction Powder and got a very clear and detailed answer. Even though it seemed like there were hundreds of other people in the shop, when I was standing in the queue to pay, the lady asked me whether I had found everything that I was looking for. I was very impressed!

This is a picture of the 1st level of the shop and it was so busy. There is a basement level which has everything that there is on this level, but nowhere near as many people! The make-up is excellent value for money but feels really luxurious expensive! My next post will be on the products that I bought on this trip, so keep an eye out for that!

 

 We went to Camden Market in the hope that there would be some vintage stalls. Sadly, there weren't any but we did find a place that sold crepes so it was all good! From now on, the words 'Camden Town' for me, will always be synonymous with shoes; every other shop was a shoe shop and I lost count of how many summer sandals I tried on!

The shop exteriors were extravagantly decorated and are really fun to look at!

We also went to Covent Garden and the famous Neal's Yard. We had the tastiest pizza from a place called Homeslice and I wish we could have stayed longer because it was so quirky and quite hidden so it felt like it was a secret!

I hope this was of interest and keep an eye out for a post about all of my beauty purchases from the trip!
