Nothing tastes more like summer than a perfectly ripened heirloom tomato, which is why I love to eat them in the fall. (In NYC, we can generally find them at the farmers' market well into October.) This year, I'm also dousing myself in Distillery General Artisanal Small Batch Fragrances in Heirloom, $25, which smells like a juicy tomato mixed with grapefruit and Bulgarian rose. It also has some warm undertones -- amber, musk and myrrh -- to make that fall transition cozier -- and a little more palatable.

While we're mourning the end of summer (sniffle, sniffle), we might as well prepare for dry-skin season. I'm pulling my sweaters out of storage, and stocking up on Curel Rough Skin Rescue, $7.99. Unlike other lotions that simply coat your skin with moisturizing ingredients, this one contains AHAs to exfoliate dry skin while hydrating the new skin underneath. It's just as good at preventing dryness as it is at correcting it. Start using it now, and you may be able to hold onto your summer skin for months to come.

Speaking of holding onto summer … Klorane Mango Butter Shampoo, $19.50, smells like a delicious tropical cocktail, makes hair unbelievably silky and is packed with fatty acids for long-term hydration. I used it once, and it completely hid the fact that I'm about four months overdue for a haircut.

My love of eyeliner markers knows no bounds, and I obsessively try every new one that comes to market. While the entire Charlotte Tilbury makeup collection is flat-out gorgeous, I fell hard for the Charlotte Tilbury Feline Flick Pen, $29, a sharp, inky, extremely precise and practically indelible eyeliner marker. Tilbury modeled it after a Japanese calligraphy pen, and it shows in the way this baby glides.

As soon as someone tells me a serum is designed for an older consumer, I want to slather it all over my face. My thinking: If it can fight serious wrinkles, it will work wonders on my fine lines. Jurlique Nutri-Define Superior Retexturizing Facial Serum, $120, is the latest product to get my attention. It contains horseradish for firmness and elasticity, mulberry root and rosemary leaf extract for antioxidant protection, peppermint leaf extract to improve texture … the list goes on (artichoke, alfalfa seed, ginseng, licorice, oat kernel …). It's a virtual cornucopia of botanical ingredients, and they all work together to improve skin. In clinical studies, 71 percent of women saw a visible reduction in the appearance of wrinkles in 28 days -- and that's fast.
