nail perk
For those of us in a midwinter style slump, February's annual arrival of Essie's new spring pallette for nails is always a welcome sign that a new season is on its way. Try a selection of four mini-bottles that gives a sampling of hues. This year's girlie-girl spring colors are a dramatic departure from the deep blues, purples and reds of January. The mini-pack Spring Collection features two shades of pink -- Hi Maintenance (soft and pale) and Hard to Get (a stronger shade almost in the Bazooka gum arena) -- as well as a light lavender (Looking for Love) and Secret Affair (a glossy barely-there buff-colored neutral that will look great paired with all of spring fashion's bright citrus tones).

If you could get a mini-facelift in seven minutes without any needles or scars, you would probably at least check it out. Athena 7-minute Lift might just be the solution to your wrinkles and fine lines. In seven minutes, this natural product containing 12 organic Greek essential oils virtually erases lines around your eyes and mouth. The cream, applied daily, can help improve the appearance of lines over time as well. It tingles and then tightens as it goes on, but the results erase the lines instantly, at least for the day.

youth in a jar
Estee Lauder started selling its Re-Nutriv Creme 50 years ago for $110 to prove its exclusivity. This year, Estee Lauder celebrates its anniversary with Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Crème, an elite formulation that contains the 23 patents-pending "Youth Molecule," which extends the life of cells and virtually suspends the aging process. In 50 years we'll be talking about this cream. Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme, $250, Saks Fifth Avenue at Fashion Show mall
punk style
That revolutionary designer who made her mark on the fashion world by dressing the Sex Pistols finally can be found in Las Vegas. It would seem like Vivienne Westwood and Sin City would be synonymous. Her designs blend youth and street culture with tradition and technique; glam with a side of punk. Vivienne Westwood Anglomania scoop dress, $495.50, Outfit at Wynn Las Vegas
