Went to Chemist Warehouse for the first time yesterday, completely blew my mind! Soooo many perfumes, makeup and skincare products. I wish I had a lot more funds to spend, but made do with what I had. They had an incredibly wde range of brands and pricing seemed really reasonable, especially when you take in to account the amounts that had further clearance prices. I definitely plan to return here, mostly for the perfumes, everything else is a bonus!
It is only in Auckland at the moment, St.Lukes is the first however they are opening another one in Botany hopefully before the end of April. There are at least 3more sites in Auckland coming by the end of the year. I have not heard of any stores outside of Auckland but I am sure there will be more.
@kim_rose: that's so cool. I may have met you and not known it but will defiitely keep that in min don my next visit :)
I wish the Chemist Warehouse had the NZ website up and running. While it's nice to go instore and have a look at everything. I do prefer to buy it all online and just get it shipped. So much easier!

Went to visit today, I was somewhat overwhelmed by all the choices and saturation of pricing signs but once I got accustomed I was happy to potter around and look at things.
Got some Natio hand cream $7 cheaper than expected, and a new dry hanfs potion I hadn't seen before. Makeup like Maybelline etc was cheaper than Farmers' normal prices by about 3-5 bucks per item, so worth a look if the thing you want is not on sale at your usual store.
I recommend a look!

The brand is Bioten, and it says SOS - Perfect hands- very dry/chapped hands.
Unlike most creams for dry hands, this soaks in and is gone quickly.
Smells a bit like baby powder, so I use another cream over top that has a fruity smell!
but the bioten cream is good, feels soothing., and only $2.50! They had a couple of different varieties, though I forgot what the others were.

@Charmmy-Kitty: Just the Australian website at the moment. I really wish they would get a NZ site. I imagine there would be more than enough business to it, myself included. I would much prefer to get the bargains online shopping from my own home. Maybe in the future they will?
@Sophia: Yes I did see the photo thanks. I looks like quite a small size but if the formula is creamy I imagine you would only need a small amount and it last I long time. I had a Palmers handcream that was about the size same as your one and it lasted me 2-3 months from memory. I used it several times a day on my working days. Still worth it. :)

Went into Chemist Warehouse at Botany during the weekend and was blown away! What a great store! It's a little awkward to get to this one but it's near K-mart so a good excuse to go to both.
Kim_Rose - If I wanted Differin or Skinoren would I have to ask for that at the prescriptions counter? Couldn't see it on the shelves and it is the type of thing that you should probably ask the chemist for.

I went back last week and spent $50 - that's heaps for me!! Got another handcream to try - Swisse Rosehip - thumbs up - it's better than the Bioten I got last time and mentioned above. They had seriously cheap paracetamol and ibuprofen, and I got a bunch of other householdy/chemisty things too boring to mention here.
I was tempted by the L'Oreal stand as they had a different shade of the Eye Paint I like, but it wasn't QUITE cheap enough to tempt me to add to all the other stuff I had in the basket. When I went to Farmers later I found that shade wasn't there, so was kicking myself a little.
Next time I feel like a CW splurge I'll start on the makeup and then finish on the boring household stuff haha!
