This IYKYK NYC Pharmacy Is My Personal Shangri-la, and There’s a Huge Online Sale RN

Before I moved to Brooklyn last year, I lived within spitting distance of one of New York’s most iconic “IYKYK” beauty destinations: C.O. Bigelow. The apothecary-pharmacy has been a Greenwich Village mainstay since 1838, known for its curated selection of high-quality skincare, haircare, fragrance, and bodycare heroes. It has a lore somewhat similar to French pharmacies, like CityPharma in Paris. I could spend hours weaving through C.O. Bigelow aisles to find my affordable favorites—Bioderma, Nuxe, Avène—and stock up on luxury brands such as Augustinus Bader, Parfums de Marly, and Dr. Barbara Sturm. It’s like a French pharmacy meets Violet Grey—and it’s my personal Shangri-la.

Now that it takes a 35-minute subway to arrive at the iconic storefront, I sadly haven’t been able to step foot into the apothecary as frequently. (It’s true: You really don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone!) However, I can still metaphorically roam the shelves by scrolling through the endless beauty supply on C.O. Bigelow’s website, which is currently having a major Labor Day sale.

From August 31 to September 5, you can use the code LABORDAY20 to score 20% off sitewide on orders over $100; for me, that’s a pretty easy benchmark considering how big (and covetable) of an inventory the store has. In addition to the discount, you’ll also receive three free lip products from C.O. Bigelow’s chic namesake brand.

This is the Labor Day sale of my dreams, honestly. Here’s every product I’m eyeing below to help you navigate the pages on pages of cult favorites—truly, you could spend hours browsing!
