The Scoop: Move beyond department store potions and lotions into the big leagues of skincare and beauty: bluemercury (all lower case like e.e. cummings) stocks the goos, powders, oils and unquents that really work, that really deliver results for the generous prices paid. Names like J.F. Lazartigue (hair miracles), Nars (face colors), tongue tangling Phytotherathrie (more hair wonders that smell good enough to eat), luxe aromatherapy candles from Tocca, no nonsense skincare from Dermalogica, scents from Fresh Index and Acqua di Parma. Many lines are exclusive to bluemercury - you'll not find them anywhere else in the DC area. Staff are meticulously informed about the products they sell; you'll leave with what you need to look and feel beautiful. The Scene: Serious beauty shoppers of every age quietly chat up sales consultants while the occasional gaggle of giggly teens breeze through to sample lip-gloss. The urban-chic salon style (light woods, dark metal touches, glistening glass shelves) of the shop invites you to linger - and spend -- your way through a morning or afternoon; sampling lipsticks along can take an hour. So not a kid place: get a sitter and enjoy this grown up shopping experience. Insider Tip: Those looking for a serious skincare consultation or makeup advice shouldn't be shamefaced to show up barefaced -- consultants can evaluate your needs best without having to wade through your makeup.
