The countdown to Christmas has begun and this is one present I would like to find in my stocking. The new Hanae Mori No. 7 perfume, the last in a limited edition series, offers a scent of fresh fruit, a hint of French pastry, and a host of exotic flowers. Available at Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and Neiman Marcus, $95 for 3.4 oz.

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.
