1) Into the Wild
“Calendula, sage, olive
leaf and thyme” doesn’t have quite the same ring as the
Simon and Garfunkel classic, but this quartet of Greek-grown botanicals
infuses Sponge Skincare Gel Katharistiko cleanser with antiseptic and
antioxidant properties. $30; at Barneys New York.
2) Stay a While
Faux towheads and pseudo-brunettes
can preserve their color in a natural way with Giovanni Cosmetics
Colorflage organic shampoos and conditioners. The five-shade range
includes Perfectly Platinum, which keeps platinum blond and gray hair
from fading with white raspberry extract, and Remarkably Red, which
nourishes and intensifies flame-hued manes with goji berry, pomegranate
and cranberry extracts. $8.99 each; giovannicosmetics.com
3) A Cut Above
Nothing’s tougher than
re-creating just-left-the-salon hair. But it’s worth a shot now
that HerCut has developed Catalyst, a line of styling products that help
hair achieve its desired shape. The Bob, for example, uses weighted
molecules to push ends forward, maintaining a clean, geometric look,
while the positively charged molecules in The Blunt attract strands to
one another, creating a solid shape. $22; hercut.com
4) Not-So-Tricky
Teal Laura Mercier Satinée
Crème Eye Colour in Teal Cashmere is the chameleon of cream
shadows. Worn in one sheer layer, it’s a subtle veil of green,
blue and gray. As an opaque base, it imparts a moodier, rock
’n’ roll vibe. $22; lauramercier.com
5) Chew Toy
Aromatherapy zen and candy-store cute
come together in the form of grown-up gumballs from Origins. The minty
Peace of Mind is already a hit; now the eco-friendly company is debuting
Gloomaway, a grapefruit-infused gum, which has a sophisticated taste and
a lofty claim: “immediate happiness.” $5; origins.com
6) Love Is in the Air
KenzoAmour Eau de Toilette
Florale smells as dreamy as it looks. At first spritz, the
sweet-yet-fresh notes of grapefruit and black currant dominate, but as
the fragrance lingers on skin, feminine white blooms—frangipani
blossom, gardenia and rosebud—emerge. $75; at
Bloomingdale’s.
