**32 Portland Place, Marylebone, London, W1B 1NA
**Closest tube stop: Regents Park or Oxford Circus (we walked from Oxford Circus and it took about 5 minutes)
Last week an email came through from the make up brand, Glossier, saying that they were going to be in London from the 15th to the 22nd. I've been keen to get my hands on their products for what feels like ages, and this pop up shop came at the perfect time to allow me to go and try some of their stuff. So, today after class, Bea (photo below) and I decided to walk to 32 Portland Place and check it out.
The pop up shop itself is split across two levels and inside a three story town house. It’s quite unassuming from the outside with just some roses on the steps to indicate where you are. As you walk in, people are queuing for their orders which we later worked out is because everything is done through iPads. You pick up what you bought at the end as there are no tills - and it's credit card only! To the right of this is a room with sofas in and big Glossier images covering the walls, followed by the first room full of make up. The ladies on hand to help were wearing these really cool baby pink Glossier coveralls - maybe they could expand into fashion too because I would 100% invest! Upstairs is the same sort of layout with all the Glossier products to buy in the middle of the room. There was also a room dedicated to their new fragrance, You.
We got there just after 1 today and it was supeerrrr busy. The decor was great, everyone was really friendly and it was such a good way to engage with the products. Visually, they have to be one of my favourite brands out there! If you’re around Marylebone in the next week it’s well worth a visit! We both ended up buying some products too and I picked up the heavily reviewed Cloud Paint in the shade Dusk. Stay tuned for a post about what I bought!
