The…read moreFace Shop is slowly replacing many Fruits & Passion stores across the country since they bought them out. It's a small shop with all kinds of cute, affordable beauty regimens in appealing packaging. Although it's called The Face Shop, they do have a limited selection of products for the rest of your body such as shampoo, body wash, lotions, hand creams, nail polish etc - they even have men's stuff. I'm very happy that they sell facial foam cleansers, unlike regular face washes, these produce a thick lather that traps away dirt and oil and leave you feeling squeeky clean. They were developed for hot humid Asian climates and I always had a hard time finding them in this part of the world until now. I've been using their "Herb Day Cleasing Foam" in Acerola (cherry) scent for over a week now, I love the fragrance and texture although it'll probably be a little too drying if you don't wear moisturizer in winter months. At 5$ for a big 170ml tube, this is a steal! For such a small store, I felt like they were overstaffed the day I went - I was approached 4 times in the span of 5 minutes, it can be a little overbearing when you just want to browse on your own. Note- they are working on their North American website that will allow online orders, it's supposed to launch this month.

Didn't purchase anything at the time,but will check it out further when the dust settles.

After I found out that Sephora stocks Korres products I headed over to the new store in Fairview,…read morePointe Claire. Apparently Sephora Quebec doesn't stock Korres but Ontario stores do, due to packaging regulations (i.e language, as Korres products are in Greek and English) Completely ridiculous and another reason consumers will always find a way to buy elsewhere if they don't get access to what they want. So I can shop online at SkinStore.com and only pay 5$ shipping from the USA for an entire order. Apart from that, Sephora did have a great selection of brands, not all girly, if you know what you are looking for. Staff were very helpful and love to to direct you to the $150 creams (sorry couldn't resist). I would recommend researching the brands first though, many may just be in there because they have compliant packaging rather than really being the best brands you can buy. Many were missing in the store from the Sephora website. The prices seemed inline with elsewhere i.e. Dr. Hauschka prices were the same as Olgivy's, but again, I would compare as some products may have a premium attached to the price simply because you can't readily get access to that brand elsewhere in Montreal. Another thing that sucks is that on the Sephora website orders in the US over 50$ are free, however Canadian orders it's over $150 to get free shipping, Again, check out skinstore.com

She left with her usual items of mystery...things that I do not know how or where she uses them...but she was happy. I did not get anything, but I have to say , the place was immaculate, the staff was friendly and the prices were lower than NYC.

They sale lot of different type of product but mainly soaps, skin care product and my personnal favorite natural shampoo bar. I stopped there the first time with my friend because we thought the girl working there was pretty and my recently single friend was in full hunting mode taking that poor sale lady as a prey for sketchy tactics. That being said, I find that the first minute can be overwhelming for the smell but after, you get accostumed and kind of like it. I didn't buy anything but I recently decide to travel to Malaysia and Custom is always a bitch with new post 911 politics. The toothpaste, the shampoo bottle are some of the most annoying. So I had a trip in Toronto to practice my travel product and bought some soap, shampoo soap bar. Loved both with a little issue for 2 things, which is the only reason why I don't put 5 stars. 1: It's a bit pricey, so you need to be a motivated customer to buy soap that are about 5-10$ the 100-150g (4-6 oz). 2: The soap tends to melt quite fast. The fact is, you paid a lot so the strategy given by the salelady is to actually to cut a piece of the soap, take a little body wash thingy - don't know the name of it - to use safe it. In theory,makes sense, but I'm a shower-in-the-morning type of guy. It helps me in my wake-up process. I don't want to bother with choping a piece of soap, make sur I hold tightly and then wash myself.bleh, too lazy for that technique. There'S some good natural soap on the market that's better in that sense ans maybe 2 times less expensive. Although I will say that I will always buy their shampoo soap bar. Well as my pic shows, I got shaved head, makes sense, but I know my sister uses it too and she has long hair. I find that they have good selection, some smelless some with amazing original smells. Some has different purposes so it's a complete selection to help out any hair or skin issues (if you're buying skincare products or soaps). I bought a new product that's quite freaking amazing called chewing tab tootpaste. It's the size of a tylenol and you chew it with your front teeth, and it taste good, there's lot of flavours and it'S another good idea to avoid issue with border custom. Français: Des produits naturel fait à la main. Il y en a des tonnes de pseudo-produits naturels sur le marché. Trop de X dans la liste des ingrédients, ça n'énerve. Lush, c'est vraiment une belle boutique pour ça. On y vend des produits cosmétiques, savons naturels, shampoings en barres, crèmes pour la peau et compagnie. La première fois que j'y suis allé c'était avec mon ami récemment célibataire et on a trouvé la vendeuse mignone et mon ami, en plein mode-chasseur était entré de façon semi-intéressée pour y exploiter quelques techniques de cruise douteuse. Au début l'odeur est un peu agressante mais on s'habitue rapidement, pis même qu'on s'y plait bien. Je n'ai rien acheté ce jour là mais j'y suis retourné car j'ai décidé en début d'année d'aller voyagé en Malaisie et les postes frontaliers depuis le 11 septembre ont vraiment renforcé leur politiques sur les bagages à un point semi-pathétique pour ne pas dire complètement ridicule. Le fait est que pour le shampoing et le dentifrices c'est vraiment chiant. Dans le cadre d'un voyage local à Toronto j'ai décidé d'y retourner pour m'acheter du savon naturel et du shampoing en barre. Et si j'n'ai pas donné 5 étoiles c'est justement à cause que 1: c'est un peu cher (environ 5-10$ le 100G-150G. 2: Le savon naturel, même si ça sent très bon à tendance à fondre rapidement. La vendeuse m'a suggéré de couper un morceau individuel pour le bain/la douche du moment. Voila le hic, je suis pas mal plus du genre, douche-matinale-qui-me-réveille, pour moi ça fait parti du processus d'éveil et je suis sincèrement trop paresseux pour même vouloir me faire ch.er à le faire. Bref, je suis clairement un addict au shampoing en barre, ça mousse très bien, c'est très durable, naturel, efficace, ça sent très bon (Celui que j'ai c'Est à la menthe poivrée: Proprement vert). Même si pour moi c'est un choix facile avec mes cheveux court, ma soeur qui a les cheveux longs l'utilise aussi et ça fonctionne très bien. Petit truc intéressants: J'ai aussi récemment acheter des pastilles de dentifrices (qui se vendent en de multiple saveurs) . Je vais l'utiliser duran mon voyage en Malaisie, j'ai hâte! Il vendent aussi des produits pour contré l'irritation du à l'Eczéma, sans cortisone et de multiples autres produits. Le site web est très bien allez voir.

I used to come to B&BW once a week, just to see what's new and sniff some goodness. I also frequently shop at the ones in the USA and the experience is similar, always pleasant. Bath and Body works offers body washes, soaps, scrubs, body mists, lotions, candles, hand sanitizers and accessories that go with those. With a large fan base accross North America, their products are always changing and new packaging and fragrances are introduced every month. If you like seasonal items for Christmas, Easter or "beach" or nautical themes for summer, this is the store for you. However, many of their scents are repackaged and recylced under different names, as I shop there so often, I start to notice how similar certain products are. I find the products to be of amazing quality, they lather well, the lotions and creams are never too greasy and absorb smoothly, and the fragrances actually last. The candles are also some of my favorite- the classic 3 wicks burn flawlessly and scent your whole house. Do sign up for their newsletter as they send coupons and deals almost every day, also note that twice a year, they host a huge sale that lasts most of January and June. This is the ideal time to stock up on goods. NEVER, ever pay full price for their products as they are a complete ripoff. Small bottles of their products can cost upwards of 15$ but if you get them on sale throughout the year they are closer to 3$. Same with the candles, almost 30$ a pop, but on sale I always get them for 10$. You can test and try everything in store, I love their sink - always swing by to wash my hands! They also have an amazing return policy. They will take anything back if you don't like it for a full refund or store credit if you don't have the receipt. A girly girl's dream store really. Worth checking out.

B&B have both body products and aromatherapy; and, my preferred purchases are the sleep/stress aromatherapy products. Knowledgeable and patient staff will help you find what works for you. Also (as a plus and not a negative), I don't think I've ever been here when there's not been some sort of sale ($75 off or 3 for $15). The only drawback that I've experienced in this location is that the line up to buy here is often very long.
