A ROSE IS A ROSE
Wrap your skin in roses with the moisturizing body cream from Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris. A la rose scented body cream contains extracts of shea butter along with a blend of roses including Damascena rose from Bulgaria and Centifolia rose from Grasse. The luxurious cream — part of the A la rose collection — also features notes of bergamot from Calabria, violet, magnolia blossom and musk. It is available for $75 at Neiman Marcus, Lenox Square, 3393 Peachtree Road N.E., Atlanta.
FALL IN LOVE WITH MAC x SELENA
The time has finally arrived for the fans of Selena Quintanilla who last year lobbied cosmetics giant MAC to honor the late Mexican-American singer. On Oct. 6, a 13-piece collection, MAC x Selena, will hit MAC counters through Nov. 17 or whenever the items sell out. The collection includes three lipsticks ($18 each), five eye shadow singles ($17 each), a blush duo ($29) and a Lipglass ($17, online only), which is appropriately called Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. Eyeliner, mascara and a makeup brush round out the collection. Items are also being sold online at maccosmetics.com , but will likely sell out quickly.
SKIN STIMULATION
The new Stimulskin Plus Multi-Corrective Divine Serumask from Darphin Paris blends the benefits of the iconic serum with a mask. Anti-aging marine ingredients help reveal younger-looking skin over time by improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Apply a heavy layer two to three times per week, relax, then wipe away excess with a tissue or massage it into skin. It costs $180 at Darphin.com .
