Watsons, watch out! Mannings, the self-claimed 'Hong Kong's No.1 personal health & beauty retailer', has finally landed in Shanghai. Although you can find its orange logo in every corner of Hong Kong, this chain store is almost 15 years late in the mainland market compared to its biggest competitor Watsons.But with its extensive product lines and tempting price tags, it won't be long before grooming-obsessed and fitness-crazed Shanghaiers pick up the signal and spread the word around town.

You can find everything you need for looking good from head to toe in the brightly lit and well organized store. Of course there are some omnipresent brands like Olay and Nivea, but if you're looking for better value for your moeny, you should focus on Manning's own brand and exclusive products, like Royal Jelly & Honey Body Lotion (25rmb) or No Rinse Hand Sanitizer (10rmb) - not to mention the fact that there is often a discount on them.

The collection of health food here is also impressive. There are all kinds of vitamins, protein powder, low calory cookies, fiber cookies and herbal tea. We're also happy to find a full range of Montagne Jeunesse anti-stress face mask treatment products for women and men, such as Chocolate Mud Masque (29rmb) and Dead Sea Mud Pac (29rmb).

Last but not the least, you can go to Manning's website and print out the coupons on a number of selected products. Happy shopping, and don't forget to BYOB (bring you own bag)! - Stella Shu
