What could be worse than trying to squeeze the last drop of product out of a tube? Thank god Miuccia and pals have come to their senses and grown the packaging for their glorious Prada Hydrating Gel Cream Face Tint from five anally tiny plastic tubes to three heftier ones, presumably to cut down on your pain. Nothing gives you a smoother, sheerer finish but all that fake serenity would be hard to pull off after having to repeatedly coax it out of those easy-to-lose modules. $60 at Prada stores, 212-334-8888

Girly-cute Tocca has won sophisto-converts with Laundry Delicate, its posh version of Woolite, but Tocca knows more than undie-care. New to their growing bath and body line are three bar soaps, all rich with Kukui nut oil and Vitamin E, and not too heavily scented. There's Cleopatra (cucumber and grapefruit), Stella (orange) and Florence, which has just enough rose to feel retro, but with an earthy undertonebecause you can still only stand so much girly-cute. Sold individually or in a set of three. $12 for a 6oz bar, or $27 for 3 3.5 oz bars, at www.sephora.com

With its blue lighting and men-only admission policy, Chelsea spa Nickel is, yes, sort of McGay with cheese. So we didn't bat an eye when the marketing materials for its new fragrance, Ennemi, featured skinhead wrestlers in hotpants. Still, when we smelled the stuff, instead of Brut-like swill, we were met with a crisp blast of cardamom and grapefruit. It's fairly light in concentration, too, so your manly funk won't overwhelm your, er, gym pals. 3.5 oz for $60, at Bloomingdale’s, 800-232-1854
