Shop Talk
Some treatment and beauty lines such as Mario Badescu, Molton Brown, and Laura Mercier can certainly be found at other stores, but I was surprised by the large selection of fragrances by Serge Lutens. The store also stocks a range of Tocca products (fragrance, home scents, candles, etc.). The in-store spa with two treatment rooms helps distinguish Blue Mercury from other beauty retailers. Clients can indulge in facials, microdermabrasion, and waxing services starting at $15. ATMOSPHERE:Laid back. Customers are encouraged to touch and sample the products. Salespeople are available if you need assistance, but aren't pushy. Join the discussion. Tell us about your experiences at Blue Mercury or suggest ShopTalk profiles by commenting below.

World's biggest observation wheel
We're actually ahead of time and on budget," said David Beevers, general manager of the Singapore Flyer. "It's all systems go." The wheel will start twirling just before dusk Monday evening. The attraction's first three nights were sold out, Mr Beevers said. Companies and individuals paid $7000, an auspicious number in Chinese culture, for the first rides. "Through the month of February... it's a whole series of private events each day that's going to allow us to ramp up to full opening March 1 for the public," said Mr Beevers. .
Chirally Correct Cosmeceuticals
Sircuit Skin products have made a name for themselves among the Hollywood A-list set thanks to a novel formulation approach known as Chiral technology. Derived from the Greek word "chir," which means "hand," the technology refers to a mirror image phenomenon frequently found in nature (e.g., human hands, eyes and feet are identically opposite, mirror images of each other). Sircuit’s full product line is built on a "Chirally Correct" molecule theory and are promised to pair perfectly with the skin’s cells to produce "only the positive effects of each ingredient or nutrient, while virtually eliminating any adverse reactions," thus restoring purity and alignment to the skin on a molecular and cellular level. When a product is "Chirally Correct," it implies that it contains only the molecules with the ability to give the desired results, according to Michael Wolfgeher, president of the Los Angeles, CA-based company, who cited vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid, as an example.
