Even though we can now get some Boots & No7 items in the states, we can't get it all. It's not the same as being able to physically go into a shop and stock up on all your faves to take home.

It's a nice basic store with all the essentials available. Due to the size of the store there's not the range that there is in some larger stores but you don't have to travel far to find larger stores in nearby High Wycombe and Uxbridge. The Boots The Chemist advantage card loyalty scheme is a good one and worth getting. The prices in Boots The Chemist seem to be coming down a bit and they often have good offers so no matter how small the store they are always worth a visit.

I'm an Avon fan! Like Yelper Marianne, I have not visited the headquarters in the U.K., but I was a…read moreformer "Avon lady" for years and years! Avon does a lot of things right, think their Skin So Soft body wash, their Skin So Soft bug guard plus, their bubble bath and I love their less expensive "Naturals" line of body washes, too! Their pedicure products are the absolute best around in my opinion! Pedicure products include sloughing creams, moisturizers, heel creams and more. I also love their sterling silver jewelry and typically love their annual pewter Christmas ornaments. I've gotten some nice inexpensive watches from Avon, too. I've sworn by their eyebrow pencils for ages! Their children's items are great too, such as special bath washes in cute shapes for little ones and after bath wraps designed to look like dinosaurs, or unicorns. You can't go wrong with their holiday themed décor! I've had a glow-in-the-dark Halloween ghost that adheres to windows for well over 10 years and he still looks great! It was really fun to sell Avon! Interacting with the people, actually applying the makeup products on customers, and making special Christmas themed gift baskets to sell locally, were all very very fun! When you are an Avon representative, you get an advanced brochure with (at that time) items offered at 30 percent-40 percent off. This offers the representative the opportunity to try new products at a discount! I would pass those savings on to one of my most prolific customer who had health problems and could not get out and physically shop. Long story short, I was in the Avon President's Club two consecutive years. This meant I exceeded some sales metric I've not forgotten. I think we got to pick from a ceramic "President's Club themed" tray each year. I still have mine. Like Marianne, I wish I had some of the antique Avon products and I still scour eBay for them. Yes, Avon is still around! Now in its 139th year! You can order Avon online and with a marginal minimum order, you can get free shipping! My area has an actual Avon lady and I can log into her Avon link to shop online and she gets credit for the sale. She often sells her overstocked products at a discount. Long live Avon!

Avon Headquarters is now located in the United Kingdom. My review is for a lifetime of experience…read moreusing Avon products. I'm not reviewing the location. When I was growing up my Mother always had sales people coming to the door. When I started school my Mother went back to work. The dedicated sales representatives scheduled their visit for evenings or weekends to keep our business. The Avon Representative was one that arranged her schedule to meet my family's needs. The Avon Lady (as we called her) became almost like a friend. My kindhearted Mother knew she relied on our business. When I returned to live at home, with my daughter in tow, I was surprised to find that my Mother still had this tradition going. I'm fortunate to say it was then three generations of Avon fans. They had cute items for children. Right from the comfort of our couch we sat and ordered bubble bath, perfume, lipstick, lotion, nail polish, and don't forget about the jewelry collection. The Avon perfume bottles are very collectible. Naturally I don't have anything left. My daughter may have the costume jewelry I gave her. If you go to their website you can shop online. They have sales and deals, in addition to recruiting sales representatives, if you need a job. I always helped out our Avon representative by bringing the latest brochure into my office and gathering up the orders, collecting the money, and then bringing my coworkers their purchase when I received it. I can't believe I was so helpful! I'm recommending this business website. You can view the brochure and place your order. I'm still upset they left NYC. I walked by the midtown headquarters all the time. I often thought about going in when I was between jobs!! Interesting History Tidbits: Avon's founder, David H. McConnell, initially sold books as a door-to-door salesman to New York homes. In September 1886, he decided to sell perfumes rather than books. McConnell changed the company name in 1892. His business partner suggested calling it the "California Perfume Company" because of the abundance of flowers in California where he resided. Beginning in the 1920's the name Avon was used and eventually permanently changed to Avon Products Inc. Don't ask me why!

The pharmacy is pretty tiny but it's right next to the Garratt Lane medical centre too which makes it super handy.

I had been thinking for a while what I would write my 100th review on but today I was convinced…read more The Body Shop has a new (?) store on Oxford Street at the corner of James Street. It seems like a flagship though I am not sure about this. Apart from being part of an event with their new brand ambassador Lily Cole today, I also got to see the store and speak to the staff. To make it simple: They were lovely. In store, they offer hand massages and of course all the expected products. When I was younger it was a common birthday gift and I was not too fussed about it. Today, I seem to like more and more products but I am particularly convinced by their concept. The Body Shop is not only about cosmetic products but about the people producing, selling and buying it. Their five principles reflect this: 1. Against animal testing - naturally supporting this 2. Support community trade - fair treatment of everyone in the supply chain from producer to staff in the shops 3. Active self esteem - feel good about yourself 4. Defend human rights - campaigns against sex-trafficking etc. 5. Protect our planet - little use of cartonage etc. and if working with paper, the use of FSC paper I don't mean to make a big advertisement about The Body Shop but I was convinced by the concept. Additionally, the staff in store are so nice and helpful, offering advice and a few minutes break from all the stress on Oxford Street. Check it out and have a relaxing "spa" time!
