A fabulous way to try the best Barneys beauty

Whenever I make a trip to NYC, a stop at Barneys is always on the agenda—specifically a visit the beauty basement. With all the perfumes I can’t get a whiff of here plus skincare and makeup that are nearly impossible to play with in person in this neck of the woods, I’m like a kid in a candy store who says budget be damned!

I don’t think I’ll ever give up my excursions to 60th and Madison, but I can get my fix between NYC trips thanks to Barneys’ relatively-new Beauty Boxes. Available for a variety of needs and wants, you can choose from 13, including the “Fountain of Youth,” “Got Your Digits” (hand care), “Groomed Gent,” “Hit Refresh,” “Mask On, Mask Off” and more. Prices range from $60 to $325, and I’ve already added these to my “gift list” whether for an upcoming friend’s birthday or even the holidays. (Don’t hate me for bringing that up!)
