Quite a few clothes shops, shoe

Boots and Debenhams are good
places to go if you’re looking to
buy makeup, hair dye, perfume
or facial care, they are more like
beauty stores.

ReviewsReviews
I looked at some reviews for the shops in Swansea and it turns out that Primark has
got the best bargains for clothes.
River Island:River Island:
“This is a pretty 'snazzy’ (couldn’t
think of a more appropriate word,
sorry) fashion store. It has always
seemed to me that the clothes here
are very fashionable, modern and
unfortunately expensive. I’d probably
shop here if I could consistently afford
it. I can’t but I do like to go in here for
a browse every now and then
because one good thing about this
store is that its selection is constantly
changing so if you don’t like
something one month then there’ll
probably be something completely
different the next. The range is
generally very impressive and the
variety is excellent. Prices, obviously,
are a different topic all together”.
New Look:New Look:
“I think this store has a really
good selection of clothing
compared to the size of the
store. I do find NewLook loads
more expensive as it used to be.
But even so lovely clothes and
still good quality”.
Primark:Primark:
“I disagree with some of the previous
reviews, yes it might not be as tidy as
some trendier clothes shops, but the
prices are far cheaper and the sheer
amount of stock is also much larger.
There are always plenty of checkouts
open when I’ve been there and if you
have to queue, then it’s only because
the store is so popular. Some things
are not great quality, but many things
I have bought there are as good as
many other places that charge 5
times as much. I wouldn’t expect the
same shopping experience in Burger
King as I would a fancy restaurant
and that is how I see Primark. I just
see it as a good store to get a
bargain”.
