I love Kiss and Make-up!! They are way more helpful and friendly than many other cosmetic places I have been to.

Awesome review and even better to see Heather in there responding to the review and the comments. A great example of online reputation management.

Dear Miss 604, so glad you loved your makeup, and such a shame about your party. You will have to come in again for your next big gala, and perhaps try lashes this time.

In response to Meg, I would love an opportunity to discuss which items she feels we take “obvious advantage of with price hikes and neighbourhood markups.”

Here at Kiss & Makeup we are very contentious in following recommended Canadian retail prices, which are the same ones that Sephora, Holt Renfrew, The Bay, and Beautymark follow on any brand that we have in common.

Best Regards, Heather

You are looking beautiful Rebecca, you’re totally Rocking that evening makeup look! I’am a soap and water girl too, but I now have added SUNSCREEN as an essential to my minimal routine.

Have a looky at this video to see what sun damage can do….

@ Meg – Thanks for the insight, I’m so *not* a beauty junkie (when people ask me my skin-care regimen I say soap + water) hehe. Although, I am looking forward to Sephora – sources say July 2009 (?)

My only issue with Kiss and Makeup is their markup — you can’t get everything they sell at other Vancouver stores (or many stores, at least… although their selection is kind of hit or miss), and they take full, obvious advantage of that with price hikes.

BeautyMark (in Yaletown) prices are 10% cheaper or more on many items they both stock, and Holt Renfrew and the Bay undercut them, too.

That’s why so many of us beauty junkies are looking forward to Sephora coming to town. They have selection and competitive pricing, not “Vancouver” pricing. Sure, it will cost more to shop there in Canada, but you won’t get neighbourhood markup.

One might say it’s good business to do it, but it doesn’t make me a frequent customer (and I buy a fair amount of product.)

I LOVE Bumble and Bumble. Happy to see that there is a nearby supplier– I was going out to Fort Langley to get mine! I saw it the other day, and now I will have to check this place out!
