841 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach,

For pleasure seekers who know their oils, creams, scents, soaps and makeup, there is no better place in South Florida than Brownes and Co., a 10-year-old Lincoln Road Mall mainstay that was renovated last year. Located across from the Van Dyke jazz club, the store stocks the best international names in luxury creams and bath oils — Molton Brown, Mario Badescu, Kiehls, Kneipp — at least 80 brands for men and women. It has a separate counter for makeup, and upstairs is a spa, salon and clothing department. The store even has a yoga room. The goods aren’t cheap, but if you want the best in beauty products, they can be found in this pleasant, spacious store. You can wander at least an hour testing product after product.
