Though BD has always been proud of our independent spirit, we're officially joining the lemming-like rush to hump the leg of SK-II, Japan's best-selling luxury skincare brand, now on these shores. The sake-brewing yeast that's the secret of the line's cell-renewing benefits wouldn't have anything to do with it, and obviously the culty sounding "ritual" (you're supposed to breathe deeply as you slap on the goods) didn't either. No, it's that the stuff worksmost noticeably the Eye Treatment Film, which de-puffs, de-lines, de-everythings.

They always said zits and wrinkles were mutually exclusive, but if BD's world were held up as evidence, yet again, they are wrong. Why it's taken the world so long to cook up an anti-aging cream for combination skin is a topic for another time, we're just happy it's here, thanks to the frou-frou French brand Darphin. ArovitA Antiaging Fluid is a light-feeling little gel cream with witch hazel, papaya, olive and peony extracts to keep pores clear while it keeps the crow's feet under control.

It's getting hotter out there, so do the entire subway a favor and please change your perfume. One we're currently loving for being femme-y and floral but not cloying is L'Instant de Guerlain Eau de Parfum, a new scent from the world's oldest fragrance house. There's a little bit of vanilla, a little bit of mandarin, but the main note is white flowers, specifically magnolia. Fret not: as of yet there is no gift-with-purchase plan that includes Tom Cruise delivering shrill self-help lectures or a plague of frogs.
