Shopping The Hamptons, Part Two – East Hampton

She wakes up in the morning, dreams of beautiful things filling her head.  Maybe a steam shower before the Mill House Inn’s famous breakfast served in her suite.

She turns to the right when she leaves the Mill House Inn, and sets forth to explore one of the loveliest shopping towns in America! She knows she call us if she buys too much to carry home. Our Personal Assistants will take care of it all. And if shopping makes her hungry or thirsty – we have some great options in town to take care of that, too!

Beautycounter
23 Newtown Lane, East Hampton NY 631-604-2400

Beautycounter’s Founder Gregg Renfrew, a wife and a mom, says: “I didn’t know what I didn’t know. As I applied sunscreen, lotion, and any number of beauty products on myself and my kids, I never thought for a second they might not be safe. After all, I thought, we live in a country that regulates everything. So imagine my surprise when I learned that when it comes to the personal care industry, that’s simply not the case.”

“So I started Beautycounter, a company devoted to progress. Here you’ll find a wealth of empowering information about ways we can all make the world healthier, along with safer products you can trust. Because we all deserve better. Our vision is bold; real answers are never timid. Help us put truth back in beauty.”
