As an American I had heard outstanding things about Boots. Having already tried their No7 line at…read moreTarget, I was excited to check out what favorites might be here that I don't have access to in the states. I think I was expecting something alittle more upscale for Boots, given the way its talked about. What I found was something like a drug-store Sephora or an upscale Rite-Aid. They lure you in with luxury make up, perfume, and skin care brands but they also offer everyday, lesser known beauty and health items and a drug store area for perscriptions. They even had a random assortment of swim suits and flip flops ina corner. It was a nice place to visit and Ill probably stop back in for some of the toiletries we forgot but not exactly the high end experiance I would looking for.

Probably one of the largest pharmacies in Galway, it's the same as most other Boots in terms of…read moreproducts. Although they do have a bit more when it comes to cosmetics and make up. The points card is the best thing, I once had over 2000 points which equals 20 euro! Regularly shopping for toiletries etc. here will reward you in the long run!

I have placed two orders with Seavite this year through their website and on both occasions my…read moreexpections have been more than met. Delivery is super fast. A free gift was included on both orders. I mean a proper full sized product too, not samples. I thought this might have been just for my first order (I received a gift worth 14.50 EUR). But on the second order they included a product worth 20 EUR. P&P can be a bit pricey, but the free gift more than makes up for this. Also the Seavite products are great, I can notice a difference with my skin, especially my face.

I ordered the moisturizer, cleanser, and toner in hopes that my skin would respond well (I have…read morerosacea). Products took about a week to arrive, which isn't unreasonable since they were shipped from Ireland to the U.S. (Ohio). Packaged beautifully and included a beautiful shell as a gift. Sadly, the products smelled a bit funky to me and my face, within 2 days, was inflamed and broken out with postules. I contacted the company directly to inquire about returning the items. I didn't hear from them for 2 weeks. When I did hear from them, they gave an address, but no other information other than a few lines in an email that indicated that their products were specially formulated for sensitive skin and I shouldn't have reacted to them! It felt like they were brushing me off. Shipping from Ireland to the U.S. was $7.00 when I ordered the products. Shipping back would cost me $50! So now I am stuck with over $100 of product that I can't use. Companies who ship internationally need a solid return policy in place. It's my fault for not checking their return policy prior to purchasing from them, but I've never experienced this with a company. Now I have a "buyer beware" mentality for certain. I won't use this company again sadly. They have a beautiful website and beautifully packaged products, but their customer service needs to be a lot more solid and professional.

Everyone living or visiting Galway should come and visit Cleo Natural Cosmetics before it closes…read more The shop is currently offering a closing down sale with 50% off on selected merchandise so most things are dirt cheap. For example, I bought two bars of handmade soap for 3 Euro. My friend bought two natural moisturizers for 13 Euro. This shop stocks Dr. Hauschka and Sante, two popular brands that specialize in chemical-free skin care. The woman who owns the shop is a beautician and gives great advice on what products to buy for your skin type. Besides cosmetics, it sells jewellery and hair accessories but these items look like the kind of stuff little girls use for dress-up.

Why are there not more reviews. Prices were good,as you get what you pay for. Quality appears to be very good.

We will be back and we will send friends.
