Beauty Shop Alert - Il Giardino

Fans of shops like L'Occitane and Stenders, sit up, cos this one is for you.

Italian beauty store Il Giardino has opened in the Royal Hibernian Way, off Dawson street in Dublin. Selling yummy beauty goodies that are natural, eco and animal friendly, bio-degradable, and preservative and synthetic-colourant free, the products are debuting in Ireland for the first time. You can choose from fragrance, skincare and makeup and while the majority is aimed at women, there are also baby and mens ranges too.

And prices? Starting at €4.95 for a soap, they go up to about €50 for an organic face cream, which covers all bases, I reckon. I haven't been in yet, but I'm betting some of you might have - and if so, leave us a comment and tell us all about it!
