New in the Burberry lineup: two special-edition fragrances, one for women, one for men.
London for Women has a floral bouquet. Burberry says the "blend of grapefruit and mandarin opens the fragrance with the spicy vibration of pink pepper." And London for Men is a woody-spicy citrus, featuring top notes of lemon, green pineapple and blackcurrant.
Both are available at Nordstrom stores (www.nordstrom.com); the men's scent is $70 for 3.3 ounces, the women's is $84.
CONSIDER SPLURGING ON A THANKSGIVING MARTINI GLASS
Thanksgiving is about parades, football and big family get-togethers, which is why many of us are so thankful for holiday cocktails.
How festive would it be to enjoy sips of your gin martini or just about anything else from a cheerful Thanksgiving-themed martini glass?
Decorated with painted leaves and other signs of fall, including a plump pumpkin, this glass by Lolita is $24.99 and available at www.thelolitastore.com.
AS SEEN IN STORES
THE PRODUCT: Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash by Johnson & Johnson.
THE PITCH: This soap-free wash gently removes dirt, oil and makeup without drying your skin. And dry skin can mean old-looking skin.
THE PRICE: About $5 for 6 ounces, depending where you shop.
THE PROS: Lathers nicely. Skin doesn't seem as dry as it does with soap. Does a better job removing eye makeup than regular soap.
THE CONS: Not sure if it'll make you look young, though.
THE BOTTOM LINE: You clean up quite nicely if you use this.
