THE BRIGHT SIDE
Cheer up beauty. All the frazzle of party prep shouldn't get you down. All your winter beauty news is right here.
CALL ME KELLY
We covet Kelly, whether she’s original angel Kelly Garrett or ABC sweetheart Ms. Ripa. But the most beloved of all: Grace Kelly and her Hermès namesake handbag, the Kelly. Recently, a new incarnation was born with the Kelly Calèche fragrance (from $88, at Hermès) by Parisian luxury house Hermès.
And the name’s ancestry is not lost on the bottle; designer Philippe Mouquet incorporated the bag’s leather straps, turn-lock clasp and metal plates. Combine it all with a fresh, sexy scent, and we’re contemplating a pseudonym.
FIRST AID
We channel Calamity Jane, so we’re pawning off our belly-aches, bumps and bruises to Niche (from $6, productsbyniche.com), a line of wellness and healing products for the bath, body and beyond. Each environmentally friendly product, including the Muscle Ease Balm, Calendula Cream, Immunity Bath Soak and Bruise Aid, contains a therapeutic combination of essential oils to relieve our every whimper. And all are packaged in recyclable glass.
A FULL SET
The girls have grown. They’re bigger and fuller than ever before. And we’ve got fashion and the arts to thank for the flapper trend for lashes. Erin Fetherston’s Spring 2008 runway gazelles left us wide-eyed, while Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity performance inspires with uninhibited style.
Flaunting the perfect set: M.A.C’s clear-banded, intentionally imperfect and shorter-width false eyelashes in 11 unique new styles ($13, at M.A.C). When it comes to the girls, perky is always better.

I love MAC's false eyelashes! I wore them at a party last weekend and got so many compliments on them.
