The banner by the store said that they had some 30% deal going on, store was empty, and had two associates on staff. When I came in, they were loudly discussing how someone said something to them and how they were upset ( the usual "she said he said"...). I went to one of the make up stands to see what eye shadow it had. The samples had VISIBLE DUST AND HAIR IN THEM. I went around to more stands, looked at skin care stuff too. Really wished one of them would break from their drama & help me, but no. No other person walked in, I was the only one, but none of them paid any attention. They also never told me about that 30% deal. I came in here before on two occasions & there was this one associate, cute blond young girl, who would always help me. And I bought multiple things both times! And because of her recommendations I made a third purchase online. But this time she wasn't there, and those other associates didn't help me, and I really needed help picking eyeshadows. So I walked out without a purchase. I will not be back!

Orders are filled very quickly and wonderful samples are included with each order. Love this place!!read more

During one of my routine visits, they detected a melanoma at an early stage, allowing it to be taken care of successfully. I am grateful for their thoroughness and professionalism. One thing that has especially impressed me is the consistency of the care. When my longtime dermatologist, Dr. Byrne, went on leave, I was naturally a little concerned about seeing someone new. But when Dr. Holmes came in, she was every bit as professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough as Dr. Byrne. The entire staff deserves recognition. From the receptionists to the medical assistants to the physicians, everyone is welcoming, courteous, and genuinely caring. The office is spotless, well organized, and runs efficiently. It is not often you can say that a visit to the dermatologist is enjoyable, but that is exactly how I feel about Ringpfeil Advanced Dermatology. If you are looking for outstanding dermatologic care, I highly recommend them.

That said, stores like Target or even Safeway can't sell them, making it a multiple-stop purchase. But, yay anyway, as they have more selection for snacks and non-alcohol beverages than Wawa and the decrepit 7Eleven. It's a 2-level store with groceries on the bottom and everything else on top. It's not a full-service store. Thankfully things weren't locked up requiring staff assistance. Multiple self check outs were available.

I love Target, and the Chestnut Street Philadelphia location is a prime example of how a major…read moreretail brand can adapt to city living without losing what makes it great. I grew up visiting Target in the suburbs, so discovering this location in Philadelphia immediately felt familiar. It maintains the brand's accessibility and comfort while smartly adapting to city life. The store is consistently clean, bright, organized, and well-stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful, the grocery selection is genuinely fresh, and the overall experience feels thoughtful and efficient. What Target does especially well is discernment. The product mix feels curated rather than crowded, with a smart balance of affordability, quality, and style across groceries, home goods, essentials, and private-label products. Their app also stands out, particularly the real-time inventory tools that make pickup and delivery seamless. More broadly, Target is one of the few major retailers that has preserved the strengths of brick-and-mortar shopping while still evolving for modern life. I suspect part of that comes from the company's Minnesota roots and the strong Scandinavian influence embedded in the culture there. You can feel it in the stores: clean layouts, restrained design, thoughtful presentation, efficiency paired with warmth, and an emphasis on functionality without sacrificing quality. It stands apart from most big-box retail in America. The Chestnut Street location embodies that philosophy perfectly. Similar to what brands like Barnes & Noble and Bloomingdale's have done with their urban stores, Target has adapted away from oversized suburban formats in certain city environments without sacrificing the core experience. The nearby location by the Barnes Foundation is excellent as well. It's larger than the Chestnut Street store but not a sprawling mega store, making it especially well-suited for city living while still offering a broader inventory and the convenience of free parking. Both locations feel like thoughtful adaptations of the traditional suburban retail model rather than watered-down versions. As parents, we've also been consistently impressed by Target's private-label products. Their diapers, formula, yogurt pouches, peanut butter, dairy products, pasta, and other everyday essentials have all been of excellent quality at prices meaningfully lower than those of many national brands. Target's Philadelphia stores demonstrate how thoughtful, adaptable retail can succeed in urban environments while preserving the core values that built customer loyalty in the first place. Highly recommended!

The prices are very fair and comparable to Ctown or Ktown in other cities. Amazon if you like to gamble in authenticity. I've never found an expired product, they keep up with newer products too. Just don't touch your bag or other shopping bags for any reason while you're there. They will throw a fit. Frankly, I bring everything I intend to take to the front and place it on the counter to not carry it around. Make it their problem that they're rude. There's other stores in the area but the mark up is insane.

I wanted an actual in person opinion before dropping that kind of money. I asked an associate about a few options, told her what I've used before, what I was looking for, just trying to give context. It was busy, so I get that it's hectic. But she was clearly over it. Eyes glazing over, super short responses, that vibe where someone is already tired of you and you just started talking. She basically pointed at one product and kind of brushed me off. The frustrating part is I was already leaning toward that exact serum. I just wanted confirmation or a little insight. Instead I felt like I was inconveniencing her for asking basic questions in a store that literally sells beauty advice as part of the experience. Sephora is already pricey, so the whole reason I went in instead of ordering online was for guidance. If I'm going to get treated like that, I might as well just click buy from home next time. Cashiers were nice though. So at least checkout didn't feel awkward.

I have DK Good Girl which I would need to spray way in advance. Marc Jacob Daisy is my most recent. As I grew older the Spider Senses became stronger. Lol Ms Dorthy suggested several fragrances.

So I added them to my list of places to visit when I'm in the area next. I finally made it in. A small store that has so much to offer. The location is easy to get to. Their products are handmade, plant-based, biodegradable, PH Balanced and made right here in Philly. Their website is always open for orders if you're not in the area. I've had items shipped to me in Virginia. The shipping rates are reasonable and they ship pretty fast. The website is updated well, and seems to always be current. The photos are great as well, very aesthetically pleasing. The products themselves smell great and are great quality. I love the bath salts, body wash, candles and soaps. To be honest I love it all. I love that you can get items in large sizes. I think pricing is perfect and affordable. Steve is a hoot! I love having conversations with him when I'm in the shop. Allison has been wonderful every time I have been in. She also is great to chat with. Lastly the playlist was on point recently! Definitely created a great vibe.

I had never heard of Blue Mercury and being a dedicated Sephora/Ulta girl I was curious too see how they stacked up. The store is very nicely laid out, the products beautifully displayed and the associate I talked to was quite friendly. I could see immediate differences that set Blue Mercury apart. First where as all of them have makeup brand reps that will do brows, lashes and make overs at their counters and just as Ulta has a full on hair salon, BM has a spa which is definitely cool. Also, BM is stocking brands you can only find in better department stores like Nordstrom and Saks. Brands like Tocca, Aerin, Claus, etc. And last, they have an amazing variety of candles and fragrance diffusers for your home.

While I sat down by the front door she was attended to by a lady who was super patient explaining the products and making recommendations. I noticed it's tough working a cosmetics store because all the ladies that come in want to get make overs and that crap takes a lot of time. I'm not sure if this place makes appointments but we arrived really early and was attended to promptly. After about an hour of the amazing consultation with the sales lady, my hot babe made her purchase and we were on our way. Fastest few hundred bucks we've ever spent but even for a guy I'm familiar with the reputation of Mac and their quality products. Now if only Batman was using Mac products Robin wouldn't have to warn him that his mascara is running under his mask. Haha!
