Advantages: Something for everyone, Unique, Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Pricey!
Do you want to find a store full of great quality, colourful, ethical make-up products? If you do, B is the place for you to go!
*In A Nutshell*
If you are a fan of Lush, you will love this shop! It is Lush's sister shop, but instead of selling bath and body products, it sells make-up! B has the same ethics as Lush, and has many vegan products. The stores are very limited, with there only being four stores in the UK - one in Covent Garden (London), one in Oxford Street (London), one in Dorset (Poole - where Lush began!) and one in Leeds.
*The Good*
The products are great quality and they have a colour, shade or scent for everyone. They have very lovely re-usable jewelled tins that the make-up is in, and they have a few of their own bubble bars, scented with B's own fragrances!
*The Bad*
B is very expensive and the shops are few and far between, as mentioned before. I find that with the make-up you are more likely to be paying for the fancy container than the actual make-up, I'd rather just get make-up in a normal container and pay less!
*My Experience*
I am lucky enough to live quite near a store, but don't worry, because they do have a website you can order from! Even though B is Lush's sister shop, at B it is much more sophisticated than the Lush stores, which has a more relaxed atmosphere. I suppose you could take that as a good or a bad point, but I don't really mind it that much, although I do feel more comfortable at Lush. The friendly staff are always offering to 'make me over' and telling me all about the products.

*Price-Wise*
The products are almost worth their hefty price tag. But they are still slightly over-priced, and that has put many people I know off their business.
*All in all...*
B is a great place to visit if you have the money. They have a shade or colour for everyone. Nothing will ever be tested on animals and almost the entire make-up range is Vegan, apart from a couple of products which contain honey.
