Right Kinda Bar - THE BEAUTY BAR

I've never really bonded with bars, don't get me wrong, i've paid my dues with a glass (or should i say glasses) of whiskey during happy hours post work. However, i'm not always up for bar crawling or club hopping.

I now have to recant everything i have said, cause i found the perfect bar. Which? you ask,
The Beauty Bar.

Last month I went to this quaint little store in Lokhadwala, not expecting much and i was pleasantly surprised. Most of the products that I only saw on youtube tutorials or online stores were available and not over priced (thanks to ALL our taxes).

The Beauty Bar has brands like Urban Decay, Too Faced, Victoria's Secret, YSL, Bobby Brown to name a few. After much research, I realized that the most competitive price for these brands was at The Beauty Bar. And the icing on the cake is the 20% to 10% discounts that they offer on selected brands.

What depresses me most is the fact that Beauty products in India are so highly priced. Even though they are half the price or less in the country they are manufactured in. Finding out that these products were available at a reasonable price and i didn't have to mortgage my home to acquire them made me giddy headed.

What I love about The Beauty Bar is the owner Kamya's and a member of The Beauty Bar's team Gunjan, their eagerness to assist you with the perfect product. I had Kamya wip out her own personal products and apply them on my to show me how much I would love them, and I did. Sales techniques you say? hmmmmm I think the difference here is how genuinely they want to help you with good products. they will never encourage you to buy quantity (though its always appreciated) they push you towards the quality of the product and tell you how to ensure its longevity.

I recently attended a Doll Me Up Personal Makeup Workshop hosted by The Beauty Bar and conducted by MUD's makeup artist Shamita Gogia. The amount I learned in basic makeup application was amazing. I have enhanced my knowledge and skill and can't wait to do a professional course to really take it up there.

With only 3 students per workshop, the attention to detail made every minute worthwhile. Shamita was so amazing as a teacher that even though we spend almost double the time stipulated for the class, her quality of teaching and the attention to detail didn't falter. She kept going till we understood the technique.


I am also going to do The Beauty Bar Haul on my Youtube Channel, so stay tuned for that.

So where is The Beauty Bar??? Well I have given you link above, however the easiest way to remember is on the main road where Infinity Mall Andheri and Laxmi Industrial Estate is, It's the lane between the Adhikari brothers (SAB TV) building and The Tanishq store. Once you enter the lane (on foot) you walk for about 5 minutes and you will see a Blue Neon sign saying The Beauty Bar.
Hope you makeup enthusiasts do visit. Let them know i said Hello!

XOXO
