Tired, itchy eyes are an occupational hazard of being an editor, so I was happy (grateful?) to try out Repechage Eye Rescue Pads. Just place the soft pads, which are saturated with a blend of seaweed and green and black teas, over your eyes and relax for 10 minutes or so. Ahhh, blessed relief. 60 pads, $38; 14-pad travel pack. $9 at www.repechage.com or call1-800-SKIN.

Pity the plight of the beauty blogger: Each week, the newest products appear on her desk, all promising younger-looking skin, tighter pores, plumper lips, lusher lashes, frizz-free hair—in short, a healthier, more glamorous life. Dutifully, Westchester Magazine Associate Editor Katie O’Donnell tests (or investigates) each item or service featured in WM’s Beauty Buzz blog. Life is beautiful indeed.
