A great place for bargains is Century 21. There's an entire other store devoted to shoes. I would check out the New York magazine website to see if there are any interesting sample sales that week.
Here's the run-down as far as stores with interesting makeup brands please anyone fill in anything I've missed:
Barneys (uptown location only NOT at any of the co-op stores)
Shu, Stila, BB, Remede, SCO, Tracie Martyn, CdP, Sue Devitt, Hourglass, Chantecaille, Bionova, YSL, Stephane Marais (spelling?), Susanne Lang, Frederic Malle, Fresh, Molton Brown, By Terry, Kanebo, Nars, L'artisan, T. LeClerc, Kiehl's, tons of fragrances and candles too.
This is my favorite makeup floor in NYC. I swear the best lighting too! I always look amazing in their lighting.
Bergdorf:
BB, LM, Px, Nars, Creme de la Mer, Darphin, CdP, Chanel, Jo Malone, L'artisan, Lancome, Revive, Guerlain (great little Guerlain cave) ummmmmmmmm there are tons of other little lines they carry here too. I can't really think of it now though.
Henri Bendel:
DvF, LM, Trish, Kevyn A, Pout, some line that custom blends for you, T. LeClerc, Awake, Mac (the first MAC store that ever opened in the US but they don't have alot of the stuff that's at Pro stores), and others... someone please help me out! Definitely have your mom check out this store. It's in an amazing building and she should definitely walk through all the floors. The Garren salon is also in this building.
Saks:
Erno, Bliss, Trish, BB, LM, Nars, Prada, Armani, CdP, Mac, La Prairie, Stila, SK II, Jo Malone, Shiseido, Go Smile, Perricone, Estee, Chanel, La Mer, Bond fragrances, Givenchy, Guerlain
Takashimaya:
Beauty level is the top floor I think? Great flower shop in this building and beauty level is amazing. I can't honestly remember what they carry there other than Shu but the store itself is worth checking out. I think there is a tea room in the basement.
These are all pretty much in the same area. They can hit all of these stores at once.
If there is a line you are particulary interested in.. please let me know and I'll let you know where to go for it.
There is a MAC store in the flatiron district 22nd and Fifth I think or is it closer to Broadway? Can't miss it.
