We had a great Summer Event evening at our major London stockist, London's landmark pharmacy John Bell & Croyden (JBC) in Wigmore Street, the week before last. The store was the busiest I have ever seen it and shoppers were in a relaxed mood - happy to stop, chat, sample and learn more about our range of skin care and make-up for sensitive skin. These evenings are well worth attending if you are a regular visitor to the West End. A short walk from Oxford Street Debenhams, John Bell & Croyden stocks an amazing array of products you won't find anywhere else from surgical instruments to beauty products to vitamins and with in-house osteopaths, nutritionists and a host of other experts. They hold two events a year, in Summer and at Christmas, when there is 20% off all products (excluding prescriptions and some baby products such as nappies) from 4-9pm.
The store has recently re-launched its website so do take at look at www.johnbellcroyden.co.uk if you have a moment.
Talking of JBC, after a very poor few months on the star/famous faces spotting front, my visit there yesterday turned up a bumper crop of homegrown talent. I say a bumper crop - I spotted three faces I recognised: newsreader David Suchet, Shadows frontman Hank Marvin and Matt Lucas of Little Britain and Shooting Stars (soon to be back on our screens) fame. I wasn't sure if it was Matt Lucas as he has lost so much weight. I last saw him sitting outside a pub in the West End with David Walliams and he was virtually unrecognisable from then. In baseball cap and with his new slimline look, I had to get confirmation from one of the John Bell sales assistants. 'Yes, definitely him. I had a chat with him and asked him how he'd lost so much weight,' she said. Sadly, no great secret was revealed. 'He'd been on a diet', she told me. Tell us more Matt....
We've also been busy making some improvements to the Queen website. The drop down menus were proving really hard to use so we've fixed that and we have also tried to streamline the ordering process. There's still work to do and this is ongoing so do drop us a line at info@queen-cosmetics.com if there's anything you want to see improved. We are also going to see our skincare range featured on the John Bell & Croyden website so we've been working with them on that with a view to bringing our fabulous products to the attention of an even wider audience!
Oh, lastly, we've had a nice review of our Shampoo which is great for sensitive scalps. Says online salon news site, Findasalon.co.uk, which publishes best-selling hair magazines Hair & Beauty, Perfect Hair and Hair Now: "We were excited to hear about Queen's new soothing Shampoo, £9.80. The mild formula contains no perfume, essential oils or fragrance whatsoever but still leaves locks squeaky clean." To read more click here. 
Theirs is a sentiment echoed by our customers, one of whom emailed recently to says: "I tried the Shampoo sample this morning and found it delightful! Just the right amount of lather and left my hair feeling soft and clean. Seriously! Thank you. I will be buying some with my next order."
It's now time to replenish our packaging stocks as our summer offers have left the shelves looking rather bare. We're also low on labels and product stocks so the stirrers need to get going.
Have a great bank holiday weekend!
The Queen Team
