City Chemist is banding with Ridgewood, New Jersey-based Town & Country Apothecary to bring an "upscale beauty" element to the soon to open Brooklyn Heights pharmacy. Nabe residents have been keeping an eye on the renovations on the corner of Montague and Henry Streets for some time now in preparation for the July 9th opening.

WWD reports that the pharmacy plans to carry fancy brands like Paula Dorf, Smashbox, Perricone MD, Claudalie, Bumble & Bumble, Bond No. 9 and Anthony Logistics for Men. The owner of Town & Country, the delightfully named Diana Ross, is known for incorporating community-based events into her stores and plans to bring the successful model to Brooklyn Heights. Some ideas on deck include: monthly visits from brow-shaping expert Ramy and a makeup event with Paula Dorf. Judging from Town & Country's Facebook page, they are quite active in their New Jersey neighborhood, recently working with ex-Real Housewives of New Jersey vet Dina Manzo on a beauty event before her Project Ladybug charity blowout.
