Hiya!
You know how I always say I believe you can find anything in Nigeria, you just have to know someone that knows someone. I still believe this, but the problem is you also have to be ready to pay whatever this 'someone' is charging, and most times it's quite ridiculous.
This is why I am always happy when I get news that a brand is coming to Nigeria, because this means we get to purchase these products for the same price we would overseas.
Montaigne Place is slowly becoming a mini 'beauty mecca' and I am not sure a lot of you know the brands they are exclusive retail distributors for here in Nigeria... So I am going to share! PS: 'retail distributor' means they are officially licensed to sell these products from the brands themselves, which means the pricing is similar to what you will pay for these anywhere else in the world
BLACK UP
This is a fairly new makeup brand that has grown exponentially since it launched in 1999. Founded by an African Makeup Artist to answer darker complexion's specific needs. Montaigne Place stocks all Black Up products and even offer makeovers and you are free to swatch before you buy! Their contour sticks, foundation and face primer are a few of their most popular products
CLARINS
I'm sure we all know or have heard of Clarins. But one thing I want to point out is that Montaigne Place only carry skincare products from this brand, not makeup. I use the Clarins 'Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch' which is a face primer and I walked in looking to re-purchase it and was told, they only sell Clarins skincare products. So, take note.
CLINIQUE
I recently got the Clinique 'Take The Day Off' cleansing balm from Montaigne Place and it cost me NGN6,460 and this costs £22 in the UK.... go do the math! Unbelievable right?
ELIZABETH ARDEN
This I shared all about in this post here. They carry both makeup and skincare from Elizabeth Arden.
Makeup and skincare are not the only products sold at Montaigne Place, there's perfume, but I'm more concerned with the beauty brands.... obviously! They've also got a spa!
Four brands may not seem like a lot, but it's better than nothing. I also like the fact that Montaigne Place are 'intelligent' regarding what brands they carry. They aren't stocking any brand just to fill-out their shelves, they are bringing in brands that work and have a following!
