5 BEAUTY STORES

you have to visit when you’re in London

Soho and Covent Garden are real treasures when you’re on the hunt for some of the best beauty stores in London. They know exactly how to cherish beauty and therefore every big name in the industry has set foot into one of the beautiful street venues leaving us with endless amounts of places to seek inspiration. So as I was wandering around one of their many cute streets, I made note of all the must-visit-stores for you if you ever head on over across the pond. I’d say bring an empty suitcase, cause you’ll be leaving with a packed one.

As soon as you set foot into this store, you’ve entered a perfume paradise. The first things that caught my eyes were the extremely cool illustrated perfume bottles and their wallpaper, but their scents are just as great. The origin of the brand is British with a hint of France. Very stylish with an array of female scents.

Clearly Shu Uemura isn’t British, but they do have an extremely cool store in London which is definitely worth a visit. Even their assortment of fake lashes in all shapes, colors and sizes have been displayed like pieces of artwork in the store.

M.A.C Cosmetics releases new collections so often that being in any of their stores is never a bore. They give you the best makeup advice  with the best products and they always have the coolest product launches. The store itself is almost just as cool as their beauty items. Modern, perfectly detailed and everything catered down to a T.

Also another import brand. Bare Minerals comes from San Francisco but has nestled in one of the prettiest stores in London. Their products are so refined and you might have guessed it already; they’re all based on minerals. The store oozes rest and serenity just like their products themselves and everything is just perfect if you want some tranquility in restless but inspirational London.

Burberry hast tons more to offer than just their classic trench coat, but you knew that already. They have such a large and beautiful beauty collection and the most exquisite perfumes. So it seems quite logical that they have an entire store dedicated to these things. And believe me: you need to visit this place. Small tip: their nail polishes and colors really are iconically beautiful.
