NYC is back in action, baby! Stores are open for business. This means it’s time to use some of that cash you (hopefully) saved up over the winter. These beauty stores in NYC are worth swiping (or tapping) your Visa at. I want to see more haul videos on YouTube and TikTok! Is it just me, or have those almost become a thing of the past? After shopping til’ you drop at these beauty stores, you’ll want to show off your loot to all of your followers. I included natural and non-toxic beauty stores as well. Please don’t be mad at me when you see your credit card bill this month.
Credo
Beauty influencers that focus on sustainable and non-toxic beauty are trending right now in the beauty world. Credo is one beauty store in NYC that sells products that only contain natural ingredients. Finally, an ingredient list that I can actually pronounce! No phthalates or parabens here, baby! Credo sells makeup, hair products, and bath products to soothe the soul from the outside in. If you wanted to, you could throw out all of your old products and start making your mark in the world of sustainable beauty. But I guess tossing your old stuff in the trash wouldn’t be very environmentally friendly…maybe just settle on a new gloss for your next makeup tutorial and call it a day.
Bite Beauty Lip Lab
When Ricky’s NYC closed, I went into a panic. Where in the world was I going to find every lipstick color under the sun at an affordable price? Luckily, I came across Bite Beauty, a beauty store in NYC that was sent from the heavens. Everything you could possibly want for your lips is there. It’s not just lipstick and lip gloss either. You can mix up a custom shade while you’re there to have all of your followers oozing with envy. Who knows? Maybe you’ll go viral and end up with your own lip kit line like Kylie Jenner.
Shibuyala
Japanese beauty brands have been trending on social media for a while now. Influencers have figured out that Japanese beauty is where it’s at when it comes to skin care and low effort makeup that lasts for hours. If that sounds like your cup of tea, take a visit to Shibuyala on St. Marks Place to find cosmetics of all kinds. This beauty store in NYC is one you could spend hours at. Don’t spend the entire day there, you still have to find time to make your haul videos after visiting this place!
City Chemist
Maybe this beauty store doesn’t count, because technically it’s a pharmacy. But, I’m including it anyways. This is one of the few places in the city I can find serums, potions and other advanced skincare needs that don’t have an insanely high price tag. That’s a rare find in NYC! There are locations throughout the city, but I recommend the one in Dumbo. Even just walking into the store is soothing. You can find tons of products here to show off to your Instagram followers. Make them all jealous of your rare picks!
Which of these stores are you going to visit? Let us know in the comments!
