M·A·C is one of those makeup brands we know we can depend on, come elegant event or über-hip night out. For spring, they've teamed up with Parisian graffiti artist Fafi for a line full of whimsical characters and bold, unabashedly girly shades. On...

Attacking your brows with a trusty pair of tweezers is all well and good, but doing it in the right light is key. (We always laughed at our mother for stashing tweezers in her glove box for plucking in the natural light of the driver's seat.) The...

Sometimes we get so caught up in scrubbing the obvious - elbows, knees, face - that we forget about other parts that might need a little de-flaking. For one of them, we discovered the Lips to Die For Lip Facial Trio ($60) by Peter Thomas Roth . Available...

While surface-level fixes are good for a temporary boost, Shiseido has developed a line that helps lighten, brighten, and smooth skin tone on a deeper level. Two of our picks, the White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam ($33) and White Lucent Intensive...

You'll be listening to your friends' "oohs" and "ahhs" from the moment you pull Guerlain's Divinora Bubble Blush ($38) from your makeup case - and that's before they realize how smashing it looks on your skin. With...

They're the apartment-bathroom equivalent of an open-air spa treatment at a French vineyard: Caudalíe's Vinothérapie Scrubs ($35; $32/set of three minis), at Sephora (Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.262.4200), are available...

Not even during the most painful all-nighter did we ever dream of bathing in stinky, murky coffee. But it turns out that the coffee plant actually has a fragrant flower, with many attributes far better than the obvious caffeine jolt. Extracts of the blossom...

A) Remember mud baths by the water's edge during your childhood beach days? We get that same kind of thrill from deliciously icky Mud Mask from NARS ($45), available locally at Barneys New York (Copley Place, 100 Huntington Avenue, Boston, 617.385...

No matter how low maintenance you are, we'll bet you own a decent razor. But it's no good if you're not using the right stuff beforehand. If you're the smart, sensitive type, prep with a few splashes of C.O. Bigelow Barber Pre-Shave Oil...
