Branded cosmetics of Bangalore? You’re spoilt for choice!

Gone are the days when we’d look forward to “phoren-returned” relatives and friends to get us goodie bags of branded beauty products. The city is now home to a wide range of international cosmetic brands, luring us to part with our lucre for that head-turning face-lift.

Where to shop?
Giving both men and women options galore are quite a few outlets in the city.

· The Body Shop

· Bare Body Essentials

· Lush

· Marks and Spencer

Check out the shopping malls, such as, The Forum, Garuda and Lido where you'll find at least one or few of these outlets. Bare Body Essentials, however, is a stand-alone shop.

What to expect?

· Lip Balms

· Soaps

· Bathing gels

· Exfoliating scrubs

· Moisturisers

· Shampoos and conditioners

· Perfumes

· Aftershaves

· Aromatic oils

· Shaving creams

· Hand and foot scrubs

· Body mists

· Make-up wear

The need to look and smell good is an age-old phenomenon, reflected in the increasing demand for beauty products, notwithstanding the steep price. However, for those who can’t afford to part with precious dough on a regular basis, there is similar stuff from brands like Oriflame and Amway that comes in a mid-range budget.

Now that you are spoilt for choice, it’s about time you took your preening sessions seriously.
