BeautyMark

This past spring, Beauty­Mark—that one-stop shop for beauty-product junkies—packed up and moved 300 steps to a location that offers that rarest of Yaletown perks: abundant parking. Spread out over two floors, the new boutique offers beauty services such as facials, hair blow-outs, and nail art, along with a dizzying aggregate of niche girlie products (like the new Principessa Notte Breeze dry shampoo in brown, $26), accessories (double-sided Hollywood Fashion Tape, $10.50), and fashion (godsend bathing suits from Spanx, $228).
