Thanks to Tony and Tina's new fragrance, you can now find Reiki in a bottle. This perfume promises not only to keep you smelling of flowers but also to uplift, rejuvenate and heal. Real quartz crystals are added, in every bottle. Spray this perfume on, you will feel more positive. (Price on request, contact Baccarose at 022 2281 7766.)

Packaging: The dome-shaped cap has a spiritual look and is designed to add some positivity to your dressing table top.

Efficiency: Sounds a little bizarre, a perfume that heals! Well, there are those who say it works. Whether it's mind over matter, we are not sure - but hey, as long as you feel better, who cares?

For the Lips

Find matching your lip liner and lipstick a hard task? Well, Bourjois have found a way to overcome this problem. Their new lipstick collection can be bought with a matching lip liner. Levres Contour (lip liner) and the Rouge Connection (the lispstick line) make shopping for make-up easier, as you now do not have to fuss and match. The lip liner is generally a shade darker then the lipstick. This helps to define and give your lips that pouty look. (Bourjois lip liner Rs 185, Rouge Connection lipstick Rs 555, at outlets throughout India.)

Packaging: Glamorous but practical. The lip pencil looks almost like a regular colouring pencil and the lipstick's in a very bold-looking, red case. You really would not mind this lipstick slipping out of your make-up bag!

Efficiency: There are many colours to choose from and the lipstick is not too drying on the lips. The pencil is soft and glides on easily. The lipstick is easy to apply though you should really use a lip brush when applying it for an even look.
