Where to shop à Paris
I'm constantly asked where to shop for cosmetics in Paris. This could be because I am the consumate consumer, or that I'm "in the business" or just that I wear a lot of make-up, but my answer is more often than not Beauty Monop.
The 4 Paris based Beauty Monop stores are a combination of everyday necessities and innovative niche "must haves". The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and I always manage to find what I'm looking for....even if I didn't know I was looking!
Beauty Monop addresses:
28 rue des Abbesses Paris 75018
64 rue Oberkampf Paris 75011
118 rue St Charles Paris 75015
Les 4 Temps shopping mall at La Défense

Goat soap?
My passion for cosmetics is only outdone by my love of food, which makes France the perfect place to live!
French cheese is is hard to top, and the Rocamadour goat's cheese is one of my favourites. So imagine my delight when I discovered that not only can I eat it, but now I can wash with it!
Well not exactly, but close enough.
A company based in the beautiful city of Rocamadour called Exquises Caprines are making a soap from goat's milk in the form of this famous cheese. Goat's milk soap is known for its antibacterial properties, and the tiny fat molecules absorb easily into the skin leaving it moisturised, smooth and supple.
