I thought I had died and gone to make-up heaven! On October 30, Shoppers Drug Mart opened their Murale beauty concept store in Oakridge Centre ? just in time for the holidays! Murale?s first Vancouver location has all of my favourite lines including Lancôme, YSL, Chanel, Bobbi Brown. But their variety goes beyond the classics to include brands I?ve never tried before such as? 3Lab, Ojan, Caudalie, Benefit and Gosh Many of their lines, such as the Lippmann Collection, are exclusive to Murale. The setting was high tech, but not at all intimidating, with lots of white walls, wide aisles and staff who knew what they were talking about. This is about all-body beauty with a selection of products to pamper yourself head to toe. And the best part ? you can spend as much or as little as your budget allows. I was particularly impressed with their in-house salon services, such as brow shaping! Check out some of their holiday gift-giving ideas and style advice below. 24H VANCOUVER>THURSDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2009 VANCOUVER.24HRS.CA
