FASHION SCENTS
I always thought of Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps as my mother's perfume (that iconic dove bottle sat atop her dressing table for years). And as a fan of the French house's young, visionary designer Oliver Theyskens, I was thrilled to see the 60-year-old fragrance get an update. Same sensual scent, but in an extravagantly gussied-up Couture Edition bottle ($53), modeled after one of Theyskens's flirty frocks.
THIS MUD'S FOR YOU
Since ancient times, smart people have used dirt to get clean. The latest: Concocted from mineral-packed Hungarian mud, Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm ($102) smooths skin and doesn't leave a speck of dirt or makeup behind. Genius.
KISSABLE COACH The new It accessory from Coach? Playful, monogrammed lip glosses ($22 each) in a trio of wearable, nonsticky shades.
SPOT ON
A big beliver in microdermabrasion's age-reversing abilities, I think of DDF Discoloration Reversal-PODs ($70 for 28) as my between session tune-ups. A daily swipe followed by SPF keeps brown spots at bay. ddf.com
