First to review? How? Wait, what? That's crazy!…read more Anyway, this is a great stop. I was helped immediately and tried various foundations and powders but ultimately landed on lipstick. The salesperson was so knowledgeable and recommended different products. I was on the fence so I looked at lipsticks. I gravitate towards certain colors and tested them. The salesperson suggested a color that seemed too light and pink but she told me to trust her. Woila I have a new lipstick! People must think they are an information desk because as people deplaned, several stopped to ask questions about immigration or where things were. The clerks were so helpful to everyone even if they weren't looking at their products. I love Mac products and highly recommend them, especially their lipstick. It's the only kind I'll ever use. It's smooth and silky and long lasting. It also doesn't have that weird taste and smell that some others have.

I forgot to get her name but the staff member who helped me out the morning of June 11 was awesome…read more. She alone is 10 stars!!! We had a frustrating cancelled flight the night before and we stayed at the Mercure in the airport. Bad news... my make up went in the checked bag. Should I suck it up and go #nomakeup/ nofilter ??? Sure if I was a better woman I would have , but I don't look like Julia Roberts and I have recently been diagnosed with rosacea ....and I am 51....and the rosacea was flaring up. I woke up early , took a crappy hotel shower with harsh products and stumbled around the terminal with a bad attitude and a red face in search of coffee when I stumbled upon MAC. Screw the coffee - this woman needs make up . Last thing I wanted to do is hang out for 5 hours in the airport with a red blustery face (and adding a cranky husband was not going to help) So wandered into Mac ( my fav) and the staff member working totally changed my morning around. She gave me a light but even coverage and made me feel like a new woman. I bought several things - Not due to a hard sell but due to her explaining what works for my skin I left the store with my head held high and a smile on my face I live on the road either in a suitcase working overseas or a camper in the US so have very little room for " fluff". With MAC I get what I need and it takes up minimum space - And it doesn't shatter when I travel like the cheap stuff . Thank you MAC personnel for making my morning and travels much much better !!!

Skins is the absolute best perfume store in Amsterdam and the place to come for high end brands…read morelike Creed, Nasomatto, By Kilian, MFK, etc. Plus, they carry an ever changing array of niche perfume lines that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. The staff are friendly and let you sniff to your hearts' content without hovering. There is a cosmetics/skin care area on the top floor too. Highly recommend!

We were going to board the tram when my friend decided that this would be a good stop. And since we…read morewere already here, I decided that I needed a new toothpaste and a nail clipper. Hard to go wrong at €1 each. Despite being a bit from the usual tourist spots, the young lady working the register spoke fine English and we were able to transact our business with no difficulty.

Keep in mind they do take walk in, I would suggest making an appointment to guarantee you get a spot, since they can get very busy. Keep in mind you can call or book an appointment online. I think booking an appointment online is much easier, instead of calling any of the shops. You can select the day, time, and person of your preference. At this specific location there are 3 different staff members to choose from.

I'm a young American woman of color and had an odd experience here-- I don't know if it was my age,…read moremy accent, my race, or that I didn't speak Dutch, but multiple sales representatives avoided my attempts to make eye contact, walking past me (I had a question about a product) even when they weren't assisting other customers. After this, when there were two agents assisting another customer, and when I tried to get one's attention she told me that she was busy and couldn't talk to me! The one person I finally talked to was reluctant and rude. I was originally pretty serious about a purchase but left the store quickly, feeling humiliated and small. I can't help but think that race played a factor here, since all the agents and other customers were white. Frustrating experience.

Rituals is probably my favourite brand of bath and body products right now. It's great for gifts,…read moremy everyday deodorant, hand soap and shower foam but also for wonderfully subtle fragrances for body, home and even your car! I mostly come to this store because it's so conveniently located in the station and also it's right next to the station's toilets. Which I often use because they're nice and clean. But I'm getting sidetracked and basically all you need to know is that Rituals is great for making yourself happy or anyone your giving a gift to. Rituals is happiness.

They have amazing cosmetic brands such as Korres, cowshed, Mario Badescu, and others. You can check all they have on their website.

Oh my gosh, what is not to love about this place. I love discovering new places when I'm in…read moreforeign countries, and this is one I kept wanting to go back to the whole time we were in Amsterdam! I swear, it's just a huge department type store, but again, there's just something about the newness of it to me that made it so great. For those of you from the states, to me, it reminded me a bit of a mix between a Target and a major department store. A bit of everything at affordable prices. We stopped in here a few times for a few things we needed on our trip and even once for a snack. I am a huge lover of smoked meats and cheese, so when we saw that we could get their famous smoked sausage on a roll for £2 and an ice cream sundae for £1 we were all about it and quite happy for it. One thing I miss living in the UK are smoked meats and sausages. Proper smoked meats and sausages. This really hit the spot. I was really tempted to buy stuff to bring back for my home in Glasgow, but figured it would be a pain to drag everything back when I could just get stuff once I got home if I wanted. Instead, I bought a really cool green ink pen for uni, some stroop waffles for the boyfriend and some candles for a birthday we were celebrating while in Amsterdam! Definitly a fan of Hema and will shop here again if ever given the chance!

The HEMA is absolutely famous in Holland. In the cities you can find one at every corner of the…read morestreet, and every village has one as well. The Hema is not only a warehouse, its more.. It is a customer-friendly store with an unique profile. HEMA distinguishes itself from other retailers by selling its own brand. Every day, week and/or month you can find new offers on products for daily use, all with its own assortment. HEMA products are convenient, practical, attractive and of good quality. It even got to a point that HEMA became a fashion icon, with Dutch celebrities starting to wear basic t-shirts with nothing but the red HEMA line on it.. While living abroad, the HEMA is definitely absent in the German streets..How can people live without it??!! Im sure the Dutch cant... It will fit perfectly.. with Germany being famous for the Wurst...Well, at the HEMA we sell the famous `Rookworst`!
