December 4, 2021 Shopping
Everyone needs a little self care these days, and there are high and low ways to get the job done around the neighborhood.
BLUE MERCURY
275 Greenwich at Warren
••• The new brand *was* the secret stash of one of the Khiel’s founders, which she released after the company’s sale to L’Oréal. For men or women, ranging from $55 for the hand cream to $200 for the face cream in a 1/2 ounce.
••• The Oribe set is beautifully packaged and bonus — without a lot of plastic. $175

ONDA BEAUTY
117 W. Broadway | Duane and Reade
••• The in-house collab with Voyage et Cie high ball candles are a special treat and evoke your fave bucket-list vacation spots (or maybe you’ve been there already?). $68
••• I loved the packaging on these Formulary 55 soaps. $12
……………………………
TRIBECA APOTHECARY
West Broadway | Duane and Thomas
••• I have to pitch the products of my longtime pals Malin + Goetz, and the bergamot is my hands-down fave and the deodorant is a great subtle hint. Handsoap, $24.
••• Everyone has a candle these days, but these are especially striking and a great gift to go along with bubble bath. The Baobab with four wicks. $125
……………………………
KINGS PHARMACY
5 Hudson at Reade
••• Winter’s here. Stuff the stocking with Cerave moisturizer in a tub with gloves and socks for the budget spa treatment at home: $20 for the lotion and $8 for the gloves.
••• So nice they keep them next to the lottery tickets: Mason Pearson detangler in ivory, $130

AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SHOW YOU CARE…
The neighborhood is rich with ways to pamper your loved ones, so gift them with a trip to their favorite spa or treat them to something new for a facial, massage or soak. I am thinking any of these followed by a hot toddy at Weatherup…
