I had a fabulous experience when I was out in Vancouver visiting from Ontario. The staff at the Beauty Bar and in particular Danielle were more than gracious. I will definitely return to the Beauty Bar.

This store is so pretty that can't help but walk in every time I pass by. It's a girly-girl's dream with cosmetics and jewellery and accessories. I drool as I look around.
And then I just leave. Why? Because it's overpriced. The brands that I can afford are sold at other, more convenient locations.
Sure, there are a few unique items that might deserve a splurge and can't be found easily, but for the most part, that's not the case. If the service was incredible I might be willing to cut some slack, but I can't say it was anything special.
So yes, it's a make-up lover's mecca, but it's just a lot of glamour and glitter and not a lot of substance. -

One of the few places to sell Deborah Lippmann nail polish in Vancouver... but, the price is not great. On the Deborah Lippmann site (US shipping only, so mentally add a few bucks to your total for a post box in Point Roberts) bottles run $16-18 USD, but Beauty Bar sells the same bottles for over $25+tax.

As a guy if you're looking for a one-stop shop for all of your female-shopping needs this is the place. Girlfriend? Mother? Sister? Crazy lady in your building who has 13 cats and always listens to Enya on full blast but bakes you the occasional loaf of banana bread? Beauty Bar.
They have an awesome collection of soaps, colognes, lotions, and other things that I will not admit to knowing that will make you look like you know what you're doing. Super friendly staff that will cater your purchase to what you're looking for and a wide array of scents that range from what I like to call, "Strawberries and Happiness" to "What you want your Grandma to smell like when you hug her." They even have stuff for men like high-end shaving cream and aftershave. Extra points for not carrying anything that I could see with the word "musk" on it. Prices are a bit on the higher-end but you definitely get the value for it. -

This place is sickeningly sweet. The air is thick with pink froth, white lace and sugar. Beauty Bar is definitely cute but overbearingly so. They carry highly reputable lines (Fresh, Jing Jang, Miller Harris) but everything's just a bit much... down to the music on their website (which is on perma-rotation so be ready with the mute key if you visit the site).
One major attraction, though, is the bar dedicated to men's products... perfect for the man in your life who insists that rubbing shaving cream with his hands is just as good as with a brush. -

Love it! Great selection of various beauty products, creams, perfumes, make up and local jewelry. The sales girls are really nice and will take time to show you lots of different options.
The store looks gorgeous and It's a great spot if you are buying a gift for a special someone -

Couldn't believe a store could carry all the things I love in one place! Unique and beautiful jewelry, cosmetics, skin care, home fragrances... I spent an hour there looking, sampling and sharing my enthusiasm with knowledgeable staff. It was a great experience and I'm sure to come back when I need a gift for a friend (they have interesting products for the metro-males in your life too!), or if I want to indulge my desires! A great store!

One of my absolute FAVE places to go when I need a pick-me-up, Beauty Bar on 4th Avenue pretty much defines what a great cosmetic and skin-care boutique should be. Since opening in 2005, BB has made it a rule to carry hard-to-find lines like Philosophy and Cargo Cosmetics, and pretty much sets the standard when it comes to spectacular service the staff is as exuberant about their products as their clients, and are always willing and able to help you take your beauty potential to the max. At BB, you can test to your heart' content, and ask the employees for the latest scoop on which celeb is wearing what, and what the latest must-have in cosmetics and skin care is. I always leave with a smile... and a new, pretty shade of shadow or gloss.

Until Vancouver invests in a Sephora, Beauty Bar will continue to be the definitive place to buy all of those high-end cosmetics that we girls just cannot get enough of. The Makeup Bar at Beauty Bar allows you the opportunity to have your makeup done by a professional at varying costs. From a 'Diva in Training' application for the budding teen makeup enthusiast, to Diva Glam makeup application, Master Makeup Lessons and eyebrow shaping amongst other options, Beauty Bar will take the time to handle your face with care and precision. Beauty Bar makes every effort to stock their shelves with the best cosmetics, fragrance, skin care and bath and beauty lines out there, from Three Custom Color Specialists, Fresh, Philosophy, Tocca, Acca Kappa, Deep Steep, DDF, Sud Pacifique, Demeter, Voluspa, Lippman Collection and Essie. The wide selection of men's products will have your guy enjoying the feel of his freshly shaved face instead of willing his hockey beard to grow out another inch...from Anthony Logisitics to Jack Black, Lather and MenScience products, amongst others, you can both enjoy a little freshening up!
