One star is really too much. This is a scam and if you have been conned like I have I urge you to phone Trading Standards! (Phone *******0506). The products are total rubbish and can even dry your skin (the peel). Prices are so inflated that even when they offer you a discount, promotion etc, they are still too expensive. Do not enter the shop! Once there they try every possible way to take your hard earned cash. They don't want no for an answer. How they are allowed to trade is beyond my comprehension. I will contact Westminster Council as well. This shop has to be shut down!

I agree with all the people here that say it is a scam. Aggressive sales tactics, they pressurize you into buying their products and it is not hard to give in. Their products worth one fifth of their price. The location of the shop (Bond St) made me think it is a quality brand that I just didn't happen to know which made me fall for it. It took me 10 min after I left to realize that I shouldn't have bought them but it was too late, I felt like a fool and I am ashamed to say I know about cosmetics.

Hmm I was actually completely taken in by the shop - and I thought I was completely sales tactic resistant! A sales assistant on the street outside the shop gave me some free soap then asked if I had a minute - as I was xmas shopping and looking for something for my mum, I actually came with him into the shop. He tried a nail buffer on me that gave my nails instant shine. I was genuinely impressed and wanted to buy the buffer for myself but was told it only came as part of a nail kit, which included cuticle oil, a file and 'natural mineral' hand cream. The hand cream smelt cheap but I really wanted the buffer so was intrigued. Admittedly I am not the kind of woman that is at all familiar with beauty products so I had no frame of reference for how much this should cost! He told me each kit was £45 but he'd give me 2 for £60 and then one free - so effectively 3 for £20. I went for it for some reason!

Thing is that the nail buffer works but the cream is the cheapest and most chemically around - it actually makes my eyes sting! - and I normally avoid chemically lotions and potions. It even has parabens in it. I've googled the store and a lot of people think it's a scam, in that they purport to sell high quality mineral and herb products but they're actually the cheapest of the cheap and sold at completely exaggerated prices. I also googled nail shine buffers and found that Avon do one for about £3!

I'm going to attempt to take the 2 unopened boxes back to the shop tomorrow, despite the fact that it says on the receipt that there is no refund as it was a discount. I don't hold out much hope so i've essentially been fleeced £60 for what you could buy down a local market! I don't think i'll be gifting a kit to my mum.

Avoid - if you enter this store, you will buy something! Everything seems very impressive, the staff are great at their job and in a busy Covent Garden store, you tend to assume that you're buying quality.

I took my niece here recently on a shopping day out and we had a great time. The staff showed us a range of products and I was impressed by the quality. Of course we didn't leave empty handed... I bought her a nail kit and I got a peeling mask for myself. We got a good deal but I wish I had tried to get the price down a bit more as it is slightly more expensive than what I usually spend on beauty products. Overall a nice experience - felt welcomed by the staff and happy with the products. Would recommend

Hi there, the Sakare shop has just opened in Paris. So worth to give it a try. Sales team was incredibly nice and well... pushing. Very creative in making our experience unforgettable. Ok the price too is unforgettable. But above all, back home I read carefully all the compenents. OMG. Only chemicals. No plant at all. Only paraffinum, parabens and all others wird C-something. There is so much of bad stuff in it that I don't ever dare to put it on my skin. Xxxx B. From Paris

I had a really great shopping trip at Sakare recently. I came away with the Intensive Nourishment Mud Mask in order to balance out my combination skin and provide protection against the signs of ageing (that's what I was told) Such high quality ingredients, I noticed results straight away. My skin is radiant and now has a youthful glow that wasn't there before. My skin is much calmer and I no longer have oily or dry patches. I have found that my make up now goes on much smoother, giving me a more natural look. A very high quality product that you only need to use once every 2 weeks to see visible results.

After reading all these reviews, i went bk to the store to return(ONE day after purchasing) this disgusting product. As i already expected from reviews, they were rude (btw they called me rude&disgusting! What an earth u meet this kind of sales person?) and gave me all the bull$#*! reasons not to refund.

Luckily (i have to say), i got the refund.

Also, one more thing, they dont even give u texfree even though i should get as a foreigner.
So basically they even rip off tex as well.
The sales person(guy) told me its because they are not a british company. I feel so stupid i even bought this crab excuse and didnt think one more time before i actually handed over my credit card.

I was very pleased to discover a jewel of a shop on Bond St. Sakare shop is the kind of shop you would want to visit with a girlfriend on your day off, just when you feel you need to be pampered some more after walking the streets scouting shoe shops. We had the best time there, getting samples tried on and finding our favorite products in a fair price. Representatives were nice and kind enough to walk us through the store surprising us with the most adorable nail kit.
Ambiance - Check! Products satisfaction - Check! Highly recommended.
We loved it :)

I think I'd agree that the sales tactics are really unpleasant... sure, buyer beware, etc etc, but the shop assitant's aggression (not to mention smoker's breath) were pretty off-putting. I also find the smell of the products not all that pleasant. That said, I did make a hefty amount of purchases last week (with 'freebies' thrown in) and have not been too disappointed... the nail kit was a dumb purchase, for sure. Not a bargain and it's pretty cheaply put together. The salts and mask, however, are nice (but no bargain either). I definitely will avoid that shop.

It was so great to finally find the moisturizer I love. Sakare shop on 93 Bond St. Was a real treat for someone like me who doesn't have the chance to travel often.
There is no perfect product, there is the perfect product for you. So it happens, that I have discovered my perfect moisturizer - the Sakare Hydrating Mineral Complex.
The 40 minutes I spent at the Sakare shop, were quite delightful. Excellent service and professional attitude.

So many times have I wrote about skin care products, but I always keep looking for other brands. Presently, I decided to stick to what is steadily proving to be good for my skin.
I went to a dance workshop, which lasted 3 days. Suffice to say it required severe sweating and my skin rashes as a result. Coming back I really needed a hot bath, using Sakare rejuvenating shower scrub, to gently peel off dead skin remained, and to complete the calming process, I used Sakare soothing shower oil, that besides from the amazing fragrance, actually does the work of calming the skin. Next day I had no rash and my skin was smooth and radiant. Sakare bath & shower products work wonders on my skin. Have I mentioned the reasonable price already?
