BLUEMERCURY IN BUCKHEAD
Bluemercury returns to the metro area this month with a location in Buckhead Market Place, 37 West Paces Ferry NW. The D.C.-based beauty retailer opened at Perimeter Mall in 2008 before leaving the area. It returns with a full service spa, invitation-only events and generous samples. It also boasts a roster of leading makeup and skincare brands such as Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Caudalie and more, all handpicked by co-founder Marla Malcolm Beck. The store will carry Bluemercury's exclusive skincare line, M-61 — a collection of performance based, paraben-free products Beck launched in 2012. Check out the new M-61 anti-wrinkle products including the JetGlow Serum ($98) with 5.9 percent glycolic acid and goji berry to calm and protect skin.
