BAG LADY

The Samsonite Black Label Weekend Collection appeals to the woman who doesn't come with a lot of baggage. She packs light and her bags reflect that. Every piece in the line is compact but super stylish. And the handbags, shown, are so chic you'll be tempted to carry them when there's no travel involved. Samsonite Black Label Concertine Spectrum bag, $2,000, Samsonite Black Label at Fashion Show

TUMMY TONER

Whereas Spanx benefit the pear-shaped, Yummie Tummie does wonders for women with apple shapes. If you're thick in the middle and shy away from torso-hugging garments, consider the newest development in shapewear. The camis hold you in and smooth it all out, perfect for those holiday cocktail dresses or worn alone. Yummie Tummie Glamour tank, $86, Saks Fifth Avenue

BEAR ESSENTIALS

Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes not only efficiently remove your makeup with the use of chamomile, aloe vera, cucumber and Vitamin E, they're also biodegradable. Furthermore, they're all-natural. But, here's the real reason you should buy them: They benefit the adorable, extinction-threatened polar bears that adorn the packaging. Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes, $12, Barneys New York

FIFTY SCENTS

They're the busiest beauty products on the market. Revolution Organics Multi-Taskers offer more than 50 uses "from nose to toes." The organic products encourage eco-friendly living by reducing beauty consumption. They also let you relish in your laziness. The all-over body balm can be used for chapped lips, unruly eyebrows, dry cuticles, flyaway hairs and a litany of other functions.
