Editorial Review for Beauty Collection Apothecary – by Melanie Abrams

The Scene
With shelf after shelf of neatly displayed skin and hair products, a multi-station cosmetic center and a full-service salon coming soon, this beauty mecca combines the selection of a warehouse store with the sophistication of a high-end boutique.

The Goods
With established brands like Acqua di Parma, Dermologica and Creed positioned next to hip new products like Jack Black, Red Flower and the Art of Shaving, the abundant selection may seem a bit intimidating. Don't fear, the well-trained staff is eager to offer suggestions on the appropriate lotion, cream, mousse or blush. Along with body pampering, the store also offers necessities such as fur-lined toiletry bags, heatable buckwheat booties and professional makeup mirrors. Look out for the forthcoming full-service salon, which will boast usual services along with extravagant men's shaves, complete with facial and aromatherapy treatments.

Vistin los angeles for the week and my products were stolen by the evil security at the airport! I was trying to make some impressions with the wicked people of the west, sorry no offense, and I need my products! Another store that was reccomended to me by a westerner tried to sell me a sample bottle. Not very cute.. so I wander into Beauty Collection reccomended by a former New Yorker. I met the General Manger named Maria and she was the most lovely thing I had layed eyes on in this evil city. While I could not convinve her to move to New York, she did give 2 of the 4 products I needed. Convinced me to try an amazing new line which I wont endorse because Im not getting paid. That I ended up loving and she the beautiful selfless Maria told me secretly where I could get the 4th product . Thats really nice and not necessary.

Pros: Amazing Staff, Cute Store, Quality products, Good location

Cons: not in New YORK

Sexiest staff ever!

OMG! You know they know what their talking about, looking the way this staff does.... I purchased skin care from the store manager, Robert, who had the most beautiful golden skin I had ever seen... and they are so nice too!!! I am so sick of those stuck up aspiring actor/actresses at those boring department store counters playing the latest jlo single on loop.... They never know what their talking about and they almost always seem bothered by any questions I may have.... This store has everything, which means they dont have to be faithful to a certain label in order to earn commission.... Also, make sure to see Rosalina, the esthetician at the connected salon... I've been going to her for the last two months regularly for facials... She has got my skin glowing and looking fabulous for the summer....

Pros: Rosalina's magic hands, customer service, friendly staff

Cons: parking on the weekends, I prefer to make appointments during the week
