Bluemercury: A Heaven for Beauty Junkies

I am a self-proclaimed beauty junkie. I have an unnecessarily large collection of lipsticks and a well-known nail polish addiction. So imagine my delight/horror when the Bluemercury signs started appearing across the street from the Real Life Style office. You mean…anytime I’m stressed at work, I can ease my mind by running across the street and grabbing a new Smith and Cult nail color? Dangerous.

The Cathedral Commons location opened June 1st, becoming the 14th Bluemercury location in the D.C. area. Lani and I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening party last week, enjoying drinks, desserts, and demos from brand reps. Here are some of the pictures I took of my favorite brands. Click through to discover the best products Bluemercury has to offer!

If you were to ask anyone at the party about their favorite product, they would say the M-61 Hydraboost Eye Serum. M-61 is the Bluemercury house brand from founder Marla Malcolm Beck. Their products are meant to provide noticeable results with limited time.

bm la mer

My question to everyone: should one buy a whole skincare routine filled with too many steps for words, or just buy one jar of Creme De La Mer and call it a day?

bm bobbi brown

I fell in love with Bobbi Brown after Rosa hosted an event last summer demonstrating all the best products from Bobbi Brown. If you’re in search of a good concealer or foundation, this should be your first stop.

bm nars

Mmmm…one of my favorite indulgences. Lipsticks from Nars. I love a good orange for summer!

bm sc

My favorite nail polishes right now are from Smith and Cult. Super fine glitters and creamy solid colors rule their collection. I’m also excited to check out their new lip lacquers!

bm r+co

R+Co’s hair products always tempt me with their super fun packaging. Has anyone tried their haircare so I can assure myself that I’m not just purchasing for the pictures?

Molton Brown’s Lily of the Valley and Star Anise shower gel is a favorite of Lani’s and mine.

bm candle

I’m obsessed with the Lafco candles that are customized by room. Because everyone needs a different scent for their powder room, their state room, their meditation room, and their beach house.
