BEAUTY
G ood for You
For years, dermatologists have erased age spots with
f
hydroquinone—an effective treatment, but irritating
to some.
Clinique
Even Better Clinical Dark Spot
Corrector brings clarity to skin with its mix of vitamin
C and
Dianella ensifolia,
a plant native to southeast
Asia, a combination found to restore luminosity gently.
Use it on key spots on face, hands, and chest; $50.

Money’s a little tight, so we had to find another way
to re-create the scent-ual journey Elizabeth Gilbert
experienced traipsing through Italy, India, and
Indonesia in her popular book—now movie,
Eat,
Pray, Love.
And we did, no ticket required with
Fresh’s
Eat, Pray, Love perfumes.
Eat
celebrates
Italian indulgences, from cannoli to Prosecco and
limoncello. Peaceful, woodsy
Pray
is laced with
spicy pink pepper, juniper berry, and cardamom.
Love’s
exotic floral includes bergamot, mango
blossom, and dewy jasmine; $32 each.
Old-school bar soap is getting
some face time, thanks to new
form ulas that deliver the same
benefits as liquid facial cleansers.
Bonus: Bars last longer and are
easier to travel with. From top:

The smoky eye, that night-out staple, has always been simulta-
neously intriguing and intimidating to try. Precisely why we love
Cover Girl’s
Smoky ShadowBlast, which allows you to experi-
ment without breaking the bank. And, oh yeah, it also happens
to be really easy to use. Just sweep the rounded side over the
lid, then swipe the chiseled end along the lash line using a
cotton swab or your finger to soften the line. Smokin’; $8.
