Face finery
Some of the finest European and mainland bed, bath and home products are now available in Honolulu with the opening of McQuaid's Fine Living in Ward Warehouse.McQuaid's features items ranging from hand-embroidered linens to the purest soaps, beauty creams and custom-blended cosmetics.
McQuaid's initially built a name for itself through its first store in the Waikiki Landmark. The new store will build upon that following, offering a wider array of cosmetics from such elite names as Diptyque, L'Occitane, and Italy's exclusive Santa Maria Novella body products created by Franciscan monks.
3C cosmetics is one of the hottest lines to come out of New York, and is available only at McQuaid's Ward Warehouse location according to store founder Eileen Dervisevic.
One of the highlights will be 3C's color matching and custom-blending service. Say you want to duplicate a favorite lipstick or eye shadow color that's been discontinued, or match your cosmetics to a holiday dress -- your leftover lipstick tube or fabric swatch will be sent to New York to create a duplicate product or perfectly matched cosmetics mailed direct to your home.
The cost is the same as buying the any of 3C's cosmetics, such as $14.50 for a lip pencil, $17.50 for lipstick, $16.50 for lip gloss, $18.50 for eye shadow or $21.50 for concealer.
