Face Ace

Boardroom or brunch, Sonia Kashuk Spring Awakening Eye & Lip Palette, $16.99, packs all I need for a polished—and ultramodern—spring face in one discreet, portable palette.

Get Naked

Like the nude lace booties I'm coveting from Nina Ricci, the prettiest spring pedicures come in the buff: Knock Out Flatte in Plaster, $19.

What a Gem

Dull, sallow skin—I blame the dark winter days. To my rescue: L'Oréal's new Skin Genesis Complexion Equalizer, $19.99, which brightens with pink tourmalines, vitamin C, and salicylic acid.

French Connection

We know he's a fashion genius, but Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquière apparently has quite a nose, too: For the house's latest woodsy, violet-leaf-laced perfume, Balenciaga Paris EDP, $95, he took cues from the "strong and not-too-girly beauty" of longtime muse and gal-pal Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Lip Service

Makeup pro Pat McGrath's real-life-ready alternative to the the day-glo orange puckers at Prada: CoverGirl Shine Blast Lip Gloss in 880, $7.49.

Shade Shifter

Remember mood rings? Consider this the (slightly more) grown-up take: Too Faced Mood Swing Lip Gloss in Pink Shimmer, $18.50, goes on clear, then turns increasingly pink as your body temperature rises.

Critical Condition

Shampoos so nourishing, you can skip conditioner.

SPLURGE: Leonor Greyl Soin Naturel Shampoo, $62. STEAL: Dove Intensive Repair Therapy Shampoo, $3.76.
