7 Most Wanted

1. Perfect Red Lipstick


If there's one thing to add to your makeup kit for fall, it's a great cherry or crimson lip color. Want to try the shade at Ralph Lauren, seen here? Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Lipstick in Incognito ($34), available September 1st at harrods.com, is a good match. Of course, the ultimate red is one custom blended just for you. The talented pros at Three Custom Color Specialists do personal consultations in New York or can match a swatch you send through the mail.

2. Jeweled Hair Piece


Worthy splurge: luxe crystal-and-velvet headbands from Nina Ricci. Feminine yet modern, they look best with undone hair.



3. Miracle Mask


Insiders (including France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy) are raving about the glow-producing properties of EviDenS de Beauté's collagen-infused Special Mask ($195), a pre-special-event must.


4. A Week at Rancho La Puerta


Can heaven really be so close? Rancho La Puerta, an hour south of San Diego in Mexico, has won every "best' award a spa can get. The scene: peace, quiet, 3,000 acres of hiking trails, stunning gardens, guest villas, pools, an organic farm, a cooking school, and great spa and fitness facilities. The Bazaar deal: 30 percent off if you and two friends share a villa, at $2,430 each for seven nights. See bazaar.com/rancholapuerta for details.


5. Tom Ford's Latest


Tom Ford's Violet Blonde ($62), infused with violet leaf, jasmine, and suede, is lush, sensual, and unquestionably elegant, much like face of the fragrance Lara Stone.

6. The New Chanel Polish


Is there such a thing as a season without a covetable Chanel nail shade? We don't think so. The new buy is Péridot ($25), a bordering-on-holographic greeny-gold shade that looks especially chic if you're dressed in black. Tip: With a gilded hue like this, shorter nails are chicer.


7. Glossy Lash Lacquer


Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer ($28) creates length, volume, and shine. Apply generously over mascara. Madonna is a fan.
