Boots is the largest chain of chemists (drugstores) in the UK. This summer they put up huge shiny boards in their windows, designed to reflect your face back as you read them, through signifiers of beauty; blonde hair (for your hair) red lips (for your lips) and jewelled false eyelashes (for your eyes).

I thought I'd missed them but they resurfaced in the side window of the big Oxford store; a nice lady moved her bags to one side so I could get the shot.
