Take your pick but only after you have considered our evaluations

Scent of the Season

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 that Glitter

If you want to add some sparkle to your life, check out Chambor's New Star Collection. Their gold mine eye shadow and Star Delight Blush is bound to add some glow to your face. Great for a night out on the town. Brush it onto your cheekbones for instant shine. Complement the look with gold eyeshadow on the lower eyelids. Bling-bling for the face! (Chambor Star Delight Blush Rs 395, Gold Mine eye shadow Rs 315, at outlets throughout India.)

Packaging: Simple and neat, nothing too fancy but decent enough to carry in your handbag. It's more about the product, than look, for Chambor.

Efficiency: These products will last all night, as long as the right brushes have been used.

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.

For the Nails

Clarins has launched a whole new range of make-up and not to be missed is their new Multi Eclat Nail Polish no 231. It's a flesh pink with gold reflections. Natural enough for day and shiny for night. Great for working girls. It is girlie and glittery without being over the top. Natural but still there. (Rs 700, at Parcos.)

Packaging: These polishes come in petite-sized bottles. Keep them hidden in your work drawer. Handy for emergency touch-ups. Smart and chic.

Efficiency: Suits most hands, so is a safe bet. Does not chip easily, an added bonus.

For the Eyes

Want an eye shadow that's easy to apply, creamy and lasts? Then Pupa's new powdered eye shadow with built in applicator, is just for you. It comes in 12 colours which blend easily. Each has just the right amount of sheen. (Rs 810, at outlets throughout India.)

Packaging: Very new millennium. This silver tipped, pen-like eye shadow is very sleek looking. Can be stored easily in a jar or an empty glass.

Efficiency: Easy to use, making applying eye make-up seem effortless. The applicator is gentle on the eyes and there is no waste.
