Then I remembered why I generally avoid this one! Unpleasant, unhelpful, zero eye contact salespeople - come on now, makeup is supposed to be fun, a nice distraction, an easy sell. But not this location. Three salespeople, one on her phone, one avoided eye contact; and the one that 'had' to interact with *the only customer in the store* (!) couldn't have been less courteous, friendly, or helpful on any level. So sorry I purchased something (which karma-like seemed to have disappeared later lol) - super bad vibes.

There is some apparel for kids and teens, not much, but some cute things, as well as a good selection of jewelry. The beauty items are extremely specific and well priced - I noticed an aisle with a huge section just for different nail files! Who knew there were so many? This place could easily take advantage of its prime Highland Park location and charge higher prices with an attitude. Neither is a concern here. They are friendly and happy to help. (I think some personalized summer camp-specific items are pricier, but that's an exception.)

Let me preface this by saying that I am her son. Now, this might get this review removed, but do…read morehear me out. As someone whose passions drove away from the aesthetic, I was always skeptical of the things she did in part due to my ignorance/disinterest for art (despite her repeated attempts to engage my other half the brain). As someone who is trained in finance/trading, my right brain was pretty much left to rot while in school. However, she worked tirelessly (many, many sleepless nights) at home coordinating fabrics, making the quilts, testing and developing the soaps, creams, shampoos, and god knows what else she made, on herself and with products she grew in what was her backyard. Yet, even after two to two and a half days of marathon preparation, she kept on going until she found the perfect formula for her products and the right designs for her quilts. I've witnessed this first-hand for the last ten years of my life. This story, while superficial in the background, is a testament to her commitment to her passion, the combination of art and beauty. Now, on to the products. While I am not a good judge of interior design, her bedding has always seem to seamlessly work well in the proper environment. That's as much as I'll say about that. On to her beauty products. My mom (pretty much by force) gave me these products to try on. These included, her soaps, some serums, and shampoo. Of course, I never bothered trying them until I ran out of soap and shampoo since I thought all soap was soap and all shampoo was shampoo. Boy was I wrong. When I used the typical 'head and shoulders', I would get dandruff and my head felt a tiny bit itchy afterwards. I've also used Kiehl's products for shampoo/conditioner, and I have to say the after effect feels comparable, if not slightly better. Now, I'm not saying this just because she's my mom. The smell is very neutral, and the shampoo just makes my hair feel squeaky clean and smooth. No weird side-effects. Same with her hand soaps. With regular soaps (like Dove), I noticed my skin felt a bit tight but never really thought much of it until I realized by skin was getting dried out (flakes during the winter). However, once I started using these soaps, I no longer felt this tightness and actually thought my skin felt just as loose as it was going into the shower. I don't know how else to explain it. But the fact that the scent is very natural and there is a sense of 'neutrality' makes it a great product. She gave me a bunch of funky serums and I tried one and I felt has started to even out my skin complexion a little bit more, which was pretty interesting. In all, I tried to give as objective a review as I could on her products, and all I can say is to give my mom a chance. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Since there was a discount on the Walgreens website, I decided to purchase 3 to 4 boxes of Lindt…read moreMini Pralines, both to stock up for ourselves and to give as gifts. Normally, I would choose shipping, but due to the recent heat, I didn't want to risk the chocolates melting in transit. So instead, I checked local store availability and saw that the Wheeling location had 3 boxes in stock. I placed an order for in-store pickup, and my husband picked them up today (7/3/25). It should have been a simple and straightforward transaction, but unfortunately, 2 out of the 3 boxes turned out to be expired. One had an expiration date of 6/30/25, and the other 5/31/25. Only one box had a reasonable expiration date of 10/31/25. For comparison, the box I've been enjoying at home, that was purchased two months ago from a different retailer, does not expire until 1/31/26. Walgreens really needs to implement better quality control regarding expiration dates. Selling expired products, especially food items like chocolates, is unacceptable. And since the Wheeling store only had these 3 boxes at the time of my order, I now have to make a trip to another Walgreens to return or exchange the expired ones.

My…read morebirthday, in conjunction with a 50% of WeDeal for a one hour makeup lesson with Cynde, made for a great excuse to mix things up a bit. She started off the lesson by going through different basic, daytime looks. Cynde worked within the time limitations I gave her (I am not the type to spend a ton of time prepping) to quickly change my look from a work environment to a night out. She went through everything from how to line my eyes, use of shadow depending on my mood, and even getting rid of my chapped lips. With every consultation, she gives her clients a free eyebrow shaping, which worked out well because I was long overdue! Cynde took me about fifteen minutes late for my appointment, which I really didn't mind, especially because she ran well over the one hour time slot making sure she went over different looks and perfecting my makeover. While she has her own makeup line available for sale, I explained my current financial situation and she didn't pressure me to buy anything, which was much appreciated. I did buy a couple things (it was my birthday after all) and I love her cream eyeshadow that I use as a base to keep powder shadow put, a lip pumice, and a lip gloss - all of which I love. While I am sure there are other places where you can do something like this, I have yet to come across them. I was planning on watching a couple Youtube videos to get some new ideas, but it was so much more fun to have a lesson custom for your face and color palate. I will definitely be back for a few other things once I have some spare cash. BONUS: When my boyfriend saw me later that night, he thought I looked like a total babe. Nice!

Lana is extremely sales-y and manipulates the facts in an effort to get your business. I was trying…read moreto weigh the pros and cons of seeing her vs. taking a medication that my doctor had prescribed so I went in for an initial consultation. Even though I told her I don't plan on getting pregnant now (and don't even have a partner), she told me that the medication would affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future, and I should therefore see her instead. After consulting my medical doctor and the drug manufacturer, they said this isn't the case. The medication only affects people who ARE pregnant or IN THE PROCESS of trying to become pregnant. Taking the drug now doesn't affect people who want to become pregnant in the future. When I contacted Lana's office to clarify, they said that what Lana told me initially was her interpretation of the facts. Even the office staff is drinking the dishonest kool-aid that she's selling. Because of this, I decided not to see her and went to a different acupuncturist in the area. Please be careful and do your research before moving forward with her. Note to Lana and her staff: I'm not using my real name for this review due to privacy reasons. I visited your clinic using my real name; however, I don't wish to disclose that.
