Stay Sweet
Benefit’s stable of blushes, from tawny Hoola to peachy Georgia, have
become bona fide makeup-cabinet stars. The latest in the lineup, due out
in February, is Sugarbomb, a quad of lilac, bubblegum, pale rose and
coral powders that can be mixed together or employed individually for a
fresh, girly flush. $28; at Sephora.

Plump You Up
Once upon a time, wrinkles were seen as the only marker of an aging
face. Now it’s understood that a loss of volume due to collagen
depletion also contributes to a less-than-youthful-looking visage.
Dermatologist Fredric Brandt goes after both problems with Dr. Brandt
Collagen Booster. The silky serum instantly smooths lines with fern
extract, prevents collagen breakdown with peptides, and employs amino
acids to encourage the formation of new collagen. $75; at Sephora.

Fake Bake
If you have ever had the desire to splash on some vanilla extract while
baking chocolate chip cookies, Ajne’s Vanille, debuting in February, is
for you. The concentrated, natural perfume oil smells good enough to eat
and comes in the cutest gilded flacon necklace. $75; at Bergdorf
Goodman, New York.
