The Perfume That Makes Me Wish for Snow
A snow bunny I'm not. But put me in Aspen, and you'll find me by the fire in my faux-fur-lined sweater, sipping warm, ginger-infused cocktails (after going for a dip in the heated outdoor pool). Because even though I'm not so graceful on the slopes, I'm all about that laid-back yet glamorous après ski vibe.
Since I'm not in the habit of jet-setting to snowy environs, I rely on Maison Martin Margiela's Replica By the Fireplace fragrance, $125, to transport me there. Its unique, smoky scent of vanilla, balsam and pepper makes me feel like I'm curled up by a roaring fire, while a winter storm dances outside.
The unisex fragrance goes on woodsy and smoky, as if you've anointed yourself with incense. But give it time to open up and mellow, and the scent sweetens to a delicious aroma of roasted chestnuts. It's a smell that's at once sophisticated, cozy and alluring. Just try to keep others from sniffing you.--Jill Provost

The 3-Step Concealer That's Worth Every Extra Second
As I've gotten older, concealers settle into the fine lines around my eyes. Now, "creaseless" is a prerequisite for any concealer I try.
When I first took home Lancôme Le Corrector Pro Concealer Kit, I was skeptical. Three steps? Really? I started with the lighter color, which has a drier consistency, and patted it onto my dark circles. Then, I used the darker, creamier concealer to blend. (I also used this one around my nose and on any other red spots.) I finished it off with a dusting of powder. The result was totally natural and 12 hours later I was still crease-free. I've used it every day since. --Dawn Davis

The Lightweight Eye Cream That's My Nightly Indulgence
My nighttime beauty routine is one of the most relaxing parts of my day. Along with night cream, scar cream and lip oil, eye cream is a must. (I'm convinced I'm just going to wake up one morning with crows' feet.) I hadn't been able to find one that was anything special -- that is until Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate, $85, landed on my desk.
Unlike most eye creams, this Fresh cream provides lightweight hydration that doesn't clog my pores. It makes the skin under my eyes feel firmer and smoother almost instantly, and I swear my dark circles haven't made an appearance since I added this to my skin-care arsenal. Plus, natural ingredients like black tea, blackberry leaf extract and lychee seed extract give the product a light scent that's not artificial-smelling. Take that, crows' feet. --Hayley Mason
