IF YOU EVER COME TO ITALY: BEAUTY SHOPPING GUIDE

                                                                               

I've been living in Italy for a while now and I'd say I  know the country pretty well. I blog about beauty so I'm always searching for the best places for beauty shopping around here and where can I buy  a specific product or brand. So I thought I'd  share with you the best places to do beauty shopping when you're in Italy.



Of course there are so many places and beauty boutiques around the country. But today I'm going to mention the more popular ones, those shops you will find in almost every Italian city.

So without further ado let’s start!
