My Chemist\'s Romance: Stuck in town with island fever? Splash on any one of GapBody\'s new Bath + Skin scents, whose tropical-colored infusions come in sleek, modern apothecary bottles. Occasionally, I like to mix light scents; IslandHop, a sweet infusion of coconut water and hibiscus, and SugarSnap, which smells of fresh pear flower and musk, really go great together.

PRECIOUS GEMS: Like rubies and garnets set in a tiny jewel box, the new lipcolor and gloss duo from Clé de Peau seemed too pretty to touch. I finally did and was thrilled with the result: #101 Glittering Red produces a my-lips-but-better shade and patent-like shine.

Pocketful of Prada: After the success of its sweet bag charms -- which my tote used to feel naked without -- Prada is betting you\'ll consider its new Infusion d\'Iris Refreshing Tissues, gently scented with orange blossom and iris, the ultimate clutch accessory for fall.

PRIME TIME: Foundation-phobes, here\'s a baby step I just took that might make a big difference to your complexion: Midday, when skin can get a little shiny, dust your face with Laura Mercier Mineral Primer. Developed as a prefoundation formula to fill in lines and add UV protection, it smooths skin surface and sops up excess oil when worn by itself.

Ingredient Close-Up\r\nWHAT IT IS: Pro-Xylane, a molecule derived from the beech-wood plant.

\r\nEFFECT: Skin that\'s smoother and more radiant right away; fewer wrinkles in the long run.
