text: Ever since I turned when someone asks me would you like to have a complimentary skin test I hear Monty Pythons Spanish Inquisition sketch Give her THE RACK nnThe thought of someone telling me the potential pitfalls and imperfections of my face after years just seems like the silliest form of torture If you have no idea what i am referencing pop yourselves over to youtube httpswwwyoutubecomwatchvvtYeMvpI and waste five minutes in the best of waysnnSo that is what I heard when the lovely lady at Elizabeth Arden asked me if I would like to get my skin tested for radiance a potential result that could only be compared to brilliant sketch comedy awkwardnnI do not know if it is a sales ploy or if my mothers insistence that I wear sunscreen daily actually did its job but the result was much less painless then I imagined In fact i am radiant That is right i am practically blinding you while you are reading thisnnWhatever it was it made me feel pretty damn good about myself and after a quick chat I happily bought my ua skin cream to maintain this perfection What struck me about this particular lady is that no matter how ridiculous I never felt swindled Even when I asked what the best make up primer would be she honestly pointed me in the direction of a different brand I like that She gets five starsnnThe rest of the place however is filled with surly looking staff that just seem to spend their time testing makeup on the back of their hands and looking bored But the selection here is good and I can often cross eight birds off with one stone on a visit so for that I give it a reasonable three stars Eye rolling aside it is a decent little pharmacynnBut if you are brave enough wander over to Elizabeth Arden and chat with the lovely lady about how perfect your skin is It is a hidden gem of an afternoon pick me up Shine on ladies
