There may be a thousand and one different beauty retailers out there but did you know that Toronto has beauty stores that put the big box ones to shame? We all know the importance of shopping local but seeing as we’re knee-deep in our third lockdown and we still have no idea when it’s going to end, it’s crucial to support our local stores whenever possible. Toronto’s beauty scene has always been fire so if you’re looking to do some shopping to stock up on your faves, check out these beauty stores below!
