Favorite Favorites Take a look at some of our most beloved beauty products. They're all staples, and for a good reason.
Smell amazing for Valentine's Day; go nude with M.A.C.; and get a limited-edition kit at Sephora.com.
Flirty Fragrance
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Victoria's Secret has a sweet new scent out: Ooh La La, which has mandarin, cherry blossom and vanilla notes that combine for a femme, flirty vibe. We love the bottle, too (shown) — it looks like it belongs on a 1950s Hollywood starlet's dresser. Pick up the fragrance, body lotion and body powder at a Victoria's Secret near you, or by visiting www.victoriassecret.com.
And a Scent From a Favorite Designer
Tommy Hilfiger has a great way of making preppy, classic, fashionable clothing, and his fragrances have followed suit. But his newest scent, out this month, has a more romantic, ethereal quality. Dreaming Tommy Hilfiger was "inspired by the sensations of falling in love" and includes white peach, tuberose, freesia, woods and orris. It's sophisticated, dreamy (forgive the pun) and a little bit unexpected. Find out more at www.dreamingaboutyou.com.
Go Nude
M.A.C. isn't afraid to get a little wild, which is why we love it. But we've found that we're falling for its softer side, too. The cosmetics company has launched its N Collection, with neutral shades that let you shine through. Every product is gorgeous, but we particularly love the Lipglass in 3N (a creamy pink) and eyeshadow in Modest Tone (a neutral, dirty tan). For the optimal shades for your skin tone, visit a M.A.C. counter near you (the company's makeup artists are, as a rule, amazing!), or visit www.maccosmetics.com to see more.
Get Tarted Up
We always love what Tarte has to offer. The beauty brand makes fab products with a cute, quirky twist. Fun names and packaging (on top of the trendy colors) keep things from getting too stuffy. Tarte's newest — and very cool — offering? Ready, Set, Glow, a limited-edition kit with everything you need for a night out. It includes a mini cheek stain in Tipsy (a sheer, shimmery peach), double-ended lip gloss in Elle and Emmett (sparkly pink and lilac shades, inspired by the 'Legally Blonde' lovebirds), a Rest Assured Brightening Wand, mineral powder bronzer in Park Avenue Princess (a light bronze), and a mini glistening powder in Sugar Daddy (sparkly champagne). See what we mean about the names? Ready, Set, Glow is only $45 (although the products are valued at $94), and it's available exclusively at www.sephora.com.
