Beauty Queen Cosmetics is an expansive store for people of Afro-Caribbean descent on Stapleton…read moreRoad. It is nevertheless patronised by people of all nationalities and ethnicity, and stocks a phenomenal range of products. Shelf after shelf of beauty products and toiletries stretch from the floor to the ceiling, with everything crammed in so tightly that there's barely room for the aisles. What I like about this store is that if I can't buy something elsewhere, then I can pretty much guarantee that these guys will have it. I also love the fact that I don't recognise over 50% of the products. There are brands here that I've never heard of, and all sorts of stuff that I never even knew existed. Beauty Queen Cosmetics offers the shopper with an anthropological experience as well as the opportunity to indulge in a vanity induced bout of consumerism.

Along with the shampoos and conditioners, you can find a massive selection of styling and moisturising products all at very reasonable prices. They also have a wig boutique and an enormous range of hair extensions. Scarves, scrunchies, dyes, combs and brushes complete the range of just about every conceivable hair product you can imagine. Service is very helpful and friendly.

The Body shop in Swansea is pleasantly laid out and recently has had lots of offers(as have many…read moreother stores at this recession time) but since its sell out from the sadly demised Anita Roddick it seems to have lost some of its purity and original ethos. I bought a couple of gift sets recently and was disappointed in particular with one for a member of family, a rather chemically smelling aftershave which they tried once but noone liked so its gone to the back of a cupboard. I love the small of their coconut body butter but my skin reacts to it, once upon a time their products seemed to be far purer and without any issue. Staff are generally friendly within the shop.

I agree with Juno, that the lay-out here is good. This is the best Body Shop I've been to and the…read morestaff is very friendly. We bought gifts for friends who like baths and were given samples of various hand products, which was a really nice touch. These products are not really my thing - I too prefer natural products, but the chamomile eye make-up remover is brilliant and I know many people who agree.

First, the pluses: Staff always friendly and courteous. They try hard to please. Pharmacist…read moremakes time periodically to review your medication with you, in a private room. The minuses: 1. Cramped queuing area, and little privacy from those behind in the queue. 2. Nowhere to sit while you're in the queue - unless you want to lose your place. 3. Not clear where to queue as there are two aisles leading to the counter which doubles up as a dispensary and sales counter. 4. You can put in a prescription (via the box in the medical centre) a full two weeks in advance of when it is needed, and then find it is not ready, or incomplete, when you call to pick it up. Overall impression is of cramped premises, with staff who are seriously overworked.

This branch of Boots can be found at the bottom of the High street. Sadly for those who love…read moreshopping in Boots this is only a small branch. It does however have a small selection of cosmetics including No7, a few The Sanctuary items and the usual smellies and toiletries. If you're after anything specific though its best kept in mind that they may not stock that particular item. However, if you are just after basic items its an ideal shop to quickly pop in. They also deal with prescriptions and have a wide range of medicines both behind the counter and the usual paracetomals, lemsips etc on the shelves.

Ah, another beauty haven for all of us fanatics - only this brand isn't one my favourites, but then…read moreagain it's not the worst I've used, either. My friend and fellow beauty junkie gave me a bagful of samples to try, and I was pretty impressed with the staying power of the pomegranate body lotion (creamy without any greasiness), while the facial serum was hydrating, but nothing special, although I've been told it's difficult to determine the effectiveness of such products for at least eight weeks. Like Amanda, I found the Korres sales staff to be really helpful, but equally happy to let you browse the extensive amount of makeup and other beauty products on offer. This shop always has a sale on too, giving you no excuse not to try a new lip gloss or body lotion. I prefer other brands to Korres, but it's definitely worth giving their products a try, especially when you can secure a bargain!

The staff in Swansea are so helpful and ready to give any advice and ideas regarding their products and the suitability for different skin, hair etc. Product wise, lush are just amazing with fabulous natural and fresh goodies to bathe, shower, moisturise, massage with etc. Currently they have both Halloween goodies, including ghost shaped jelly scented with lilies which can be frozen or chilled and then used as a very different shower product, plus Christmas wonders-the best of which is a bath fizzy ballistic called 'Magic' this has to be experienced as it clears and refreshes.
