Superdrug

Should you ever be looking for any beauty buys, I think this is the high street store to come to. Since their renovations their make up aisle is incredible. It has the best and largest selection of high street make up and beauty brands. Their display is easy to navigate, well lit and has a fantastic selection.
Even for the other products on sale, there is a great selection available to the shoppers.
There are always deals on which helps matters as well of course.
The staff is regularly friendly, the shop floor is kept tidy and only around Christmas time does it feel a little cramped. The queue to the till can be quite long some times but it moves relatively fast.

This store seems to be a bit of a flagship for Superdrug, as it always seems to get the new things before other stores and has a huge range of own brand products which you cannot always get a full set of elsewhere.
The store is really bright and welcoming, and staff always seem knowledgeable about their stock and offers (keep an eye on your emails if you have a Superdrug card, it tells you the current offers and often entices me in).
There are lots of tills at this store, which is handy for busy weekend shopping days, even when it is busy I never seem to have to wait long.
Weirdly one of the things I like about this store is its food and drink selection, if you are after an unusual snack they have a surprisingly large selection of sweets, chocolates, crisps and drinks, and healthier stuff too including things like protein bars and bags of nuts or lower sugar things.

Admittedly, I’m not in this shop a great deal, as I buy most of my hair and face stuff online (sorry Unilocal!) or from healthy organic product type suppliers.
But it’s great for when I need bits and bobs and, as every vegan knows, Superdrug’s own brand is all vegan, inlcuding their make up, so that is amazing in itself. I recently bought a Superdrug eyebrow make up kit and I’m pretty happy with it, plus it only cost about £4 which was even better.
They also do a great range of vegan make up brushes, which are not cheap, and are definitely good quality — I’d say they are definitely on a par with some of the posher brands I’ve bought in the past, and they have made some handy on-​line tutorials about how to use them properly — so it seems to me like Superdrug is pretty ethical, and also nicely customer focussed.
Staff in here are always friendly and helpful, even when you ask stupid questions like ‘where are the tissues please’ when you are literally standing right next to them, and when desired items are out of stock, they will volunteer to check their system to see when they might come back in, or offer to order them in for you. The cheap prices certainly haven’t resulted in any compromise on customer service.
This particular store is a fairly large store as Superdrugs go, so it generally has the full range ot stock, including a very impressive make up selection. They often have good deals on — buy 1 get the other half price — that sort of thing, so it’s always worth having a quick saunter along the aisles to spot some bargains.

Stocking everything you could ever want from such a store, this mammoth Superdrug store is the pick of the bunch in the city centre when it comes to toiletries and medicine.
Spacious and well set out, the staff in here are incredibly friendly and more than willing to help you find what you’re looking for and make suggestions. Night and day, compared to the service you receive in some of the cheaper pharmacists on the go.
It also has an incredibly handy travel section which stocks lots of niggly bit and bobs you may have forgotten you needed. On my last visit I picked up a fairly swish plug adapter for a few quid. Admittedly I could’ve got the same thing across the road for a quid in Gift World, but at least this one didn’t look like it could potentially kill me with each use.

This is, by far the best Superdrug store in Glasgow and there are a lot of reasons why I like it so much;
1. It has everything you could ever want from such a shop; medicines, hair products, skin care, electrical goods, batteries, a huge range of cosmetics and much more
2. Due to it’s location it is always bustling, especially on weekends but that doesn’t stop the staff from being super friendly and helpful. Even if they are rushed off their feet they still take the time to help you out if you have a query or check their stock if the item you want doesn’t appear to be there.
3. They always have fantastic offers on. If I go in for one thing — I usually come out with about ten more as the offers really are too good to resist including my favourite L’Oreal shampoo nearly always being on a buy one get one free offer.
4. They always have lots of staff on so even when it is busy you never have to wait long in the queue.
5. They stock make-​up such as GOSH, Bloom and Barry M that aren’t often stocked in other stores.
6. They have a Superdrug cheek tint that is very similar to that of Benefits «Benetint» I found this after years of using Benetint and can tell you that there is absolutely no difference, well apart from the fact that «Benetint» is around £23 and Superdrugs own is £1.91!!!
7. For the past few months they have had an offer on where you get 25% off Superdrug goodies and 10% off all other goodies if you fill in a short survey online.
Wow… those are just a few reasons but if you are looking for a Superdrug, I would say this one is the best.

This branch of Superdrug seems smaller than the other branch on Sauchiehall Street, however it is packed full of beauty and bathing goodies, from budget own brand buys to premium products, if your pennies permit.
There is a great makeup section, with various big brands on offer and assistants on hand to advise you on the best products. I particularly like the Miss Sporty brand, for picking up bits and bobs such as eyeliner and nail polish, that are generally under £2 and ideal for students such as myself.

This particular branch of Superdrug has really stood out since it was refurbished a couple of years ago. They still stock all the usual Superdrug stock, from shampoos to hair dyes to moisturisers and sun care. What makes it great, though, is the huge selection of make-​up.
While it’s all drug store brands, nothing particularly high-​end, they have a brilliant selection. They stock their own lines, as well as Maxfactor, Maybelline, Barry M, Collection 2000, Bourjois, etc. They also have staff on hand to help out and give advice on make-​up, which is rare in stores like Superdrug and Boots. (Boots tends to have assistants for particular concessions, rather than overall.)
Good stuff, especially for cheap make-​up!

The most noticeable thing about Superdrug is the often hilarious music selection. For reasons I don’t know, instead of playing actual pop songs, they play only cover versions of popular music sung by what sounds like the cheapest session singers they could get their hands on. The whole situation is made even odder by the elevator muzak backing tracks.
Apart from that, it’s basically a cheaper version of Boots.

Man, I love Superdrug. Just when you think there is no other alternative to Boots than the overpriced but tempting beauty counters in Debenhams or the functional aisles in Tescos, there… is… SUPERDRUG!
Always selling functional items and brands at functional items, it’s my favourte beauty store in the UK fo sho. This store is no exception, with many many tempting affordable make up items to tempt you into persuading yourself it’s an essential really.
My only complaint is that Superdrug food is naasty. Don’t touch the sandwiches.

I was back in here again today (for longer than I should admit too — so much choice!) but noticed something I should have pointed out in my last review — which is especially useful in the lead up to Christmas. Superdrug are doing a promotion where you get 5% off 1^st class stamps.
Now, this might not seem much but then you add up all those pennies on your Christmas card stamps it could go towards an extra present or perhaps a wee new lip gloss for yourself. As far as I know, Superdrug is the (or at least one of the) only places to do this promotion. You can’t even get it when buying in bulk from the post office. They do it on and off throughout the year so it’s definitely worth stocking up on your stamps during these periods.
I never thought I’d be so enthusiastic about stamps.

Yes, superdrug may be a chain, but this is like no Superdrug I’ve ever been in.
It’s like I’ve died and gone to make-​up heaven. At three quarters of this particular branch is given over to make up, beauty, perfume and hair products — way more than your average store.
They even have a false eyelashes section to cater for the growing trend. Unusual make up brands are carried in here, such as NYC, Gosh and Beauty UK, which I haven’t seen anywhere else in Glasgow.
They even have that make up range for men, with its «manscara» and «guyliner». Whatever,

This store has been changed and for the better although at Christmas I found it quite busy and not the easiest store to move around with people hanging around looking at their various gifts and gift sets. They stock all the essential items from shampoo to perfume to sponges etc. The staff I feel could be a bit friendlier but the store is bright and inviting with good access.
The make up can get into a bit of a mess but thats more the customers doing than the staff or the company as a whole. The prices for most things are really good and competative this is a good alternative to Boots for toothpaste, toothbrushes. etc. worth a visit.

i love superdrug for its good prices, and this branch has just had a makeover! But the staff are a little on the moody side and the shop tends to be a mess. Especially around the make up, people just leaving things where they feel like and the staff don’t keep on top of it. So be prepared to have to really look for what you want!

One of the better stocked Superdrugs in Glasgow. There’s a large selection of perfume, beauty products, accessories and makeup. Always reasonably priced and well maintained. Handy location. If you’re feeling cheap head here after visiting the Primark next door.
