This store has branches all over Britain. The house brands of beauty products are usually the best, including the original Boots line (try the cucumber facial mask), Boots's versions of the Body Shop (two lines, Global and Naturalistic), and Boots's versions of Chanel makeup (called No. 7). They also sell film, pantyhose (called tights), sandwiches, and all of life's other little necessities.
