Lighter Version of a Classic
Many years ago, I became obsessed with the story of Fresh Creme Ancienne. It's an anti-aging face cream that's hand-blended in a monastery. The formula was derived from a cold cream recipe that dates back to the second century. Doesn't that sound dreamy? But just because I geeked out on the history doesn't mean my skin loved the heavy, balm-like cream. The new version -- Fresh Creme Ancienne Soft Cream, $280 -- is similar but so much lighter. It has meadowfoam seed oil, Echinacea and vitamin E, which make it ultra-hydrating but it's whipped and airy instead of dense.

October is my favorite month, hands down. While it may not have the same back-to-school-fever feeling of September, it's when the weather actually starts to change and we begin thinking about the -- gasp -- holidays. Plus, the new beauty products launching this month happen to be particularly spectacular -- so that doesn't hurt, either.

There's a brand new skin care line that just came over from Japan (see: "Mad Scientist Serum") and a collection of nail polishes perfectly tailored to your astrological sign (shout-out to my fellow Geminis). You'll also find my new favorite candle, which is perfect for getting you in the pre-holiday spirit and a lip balm to match your favorite seasonal latte (can you guess the flavor?). Whether you want to spend $3 or $300, I've got an awesome new beauty product for you. October is going to be a good one.
