My daughter tried a lipgloss on her hand thinking it was a tester and they harrassed us because they said it was not a tester. It was an opened box on the display so she honestly thought it was! We tried to explain that she thought it was a tester and they made a big scene and embarrassed us until we purchased it.....for $20. Also the workers laughed at us and mocked us in Italian from behind the counter as we tried talking to a manager (after we were forced to buy something that had already been opened by someone else!!!) It was terrible experience and very upsetting to my girls to be taken advantage of as tourists and we will never again shop at Sephora!!!

This location carries the Sephora brand, as well as other brands, but all with a smaller selection. The ingredients and instructions are in Italian of course...so either buy something you are familiar with, or know Italian. ;) But it's okay if you are in dire need of mascara, a spicy perfume, perhaps a new shade of red lipstick to seduce a Italian man...like I was. ;o

I have never purchased better quality products, her Calendula cream is sublime and works wonders on my skin. Her shop is full of wonders and excellent gifts too. In a perfect location, this is my go-to spot that I drop in first whenever I am in Florence to stock up on all my favorite creams, custom made treatments, bath gels and essential body oils. My good friends from Germany and the Philippines also do the same every time they are in Florence, this pharmacy is a treasure and should not be missed.

Last year's travel companion made me aware of this charming shop: In a women's mag, she had read…read moreabout the favourite locations of a walking clothes rack (aka top model). In Florence, that lady praised the Farmacia Münstermann which has been based there since 1897 (!). When you stop by, the tiny store comes across as a regular pharmacy. But there's more to it: They sell a large variety of self-made fragrances and skin care products whose preparation supposedly hasn't changed since the beginnings. Münstermann doesn't offer creative concoctions of the modernistic kind. They stick to puristic versions of proven favourites including: citrus, amber, fern, acacia, gardenia, geranium, lily, lime, tabac, musk, orchid, patchouly, peach, red and tea rose, sandal wood, vanilla, leather, honey-almond, cinnamon, peach-lime, and bergamotto. In case you can't make it to Florence, you can order Münstermann's products here: http://www.munstermann.it/ordinaeng.html BTW, the website of the Comune di Firenze (http://www.comune.fi.it ) says this about Münstermann: In 1897 the German pharmacist Münstermann opened his shop that was the first to offer homeopathic cures in Florence. He had a great success and in 1908 the pharmacy moved to the building in piazza Goldoni and took the new name, Farmacia Anglo-Americana, that it kept until 1935. The original nineteenth century furnishings are all there intact, even though some adaptations became necessary in the early 1900s when the building itself was remodeled to make way for the new tram line. The 1966 flood inflicted serious damage. However, in spite of these vicissitudes, the pharmacy still conserves its original character that forms the perfect setting for the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics that are still made according to the original old formulas.

I have sensitive skin so I've been looking all over Florence for handmade soap that's all…read morenatural/vegan/organic with no parfum, no parabens, sulfates, or chemicals ending in 'cones'... didn't quite happen. It's a tiny shop, very packed, highly touristy, and hard to get around but they sure have a bunch of options for handmade soaps, creams, parfums, and even additional items like brushes and combs. I see a bunch of people go crazy over this soap and fragrances, and it appears to be perfect for people who don't have allergies and can put any typical skincare chemicals on their skin. The best thing about this store, for me, was the staff. This woman went all over the store looking through ingredients to find the right chemical-free soap for me. The only one we found was on a shelf that was labeled 'organic all natural olive oil soap' without an ingredient list sticker on the soap like all the others so we took a chance and assumed it was chemical-free and natural. When I got home to use the soap, I thought it was the right choice because it didn't lather much, which I'm used to with my soaps. But once I started to wash my body with it, my skin was irritated and burned. They don't label all of their soaps and some of them lack ingredient labels. I think these soaps can work for many other people and they have a huge selection of soaps, creams, lotions, with wonderful parfum scents. If you have sensitive skin and are looking for REAL all natural soap without all those added chemicals (dimethicone, phenoxanol, methyl parabens, sodium laurel sulfate, etc.) this is NOT the place for you. It's easy for me to find it in the States, but I guess not here. My search continues! My advice for shoppers: know your skin and check ingredients. If there are no ingredients, skip it! My advice to the store: clearly label ALL products with ALL ingredients to save the customers the mystery and disappointment.
