Eminence Marine Flower Peptide Collection

Perfect for autumn, Eminence just launched their Marine Flower Peptide skincare collection. I have to say this launch is one of the best I've seen from the brand, and they already have so many great products. Both items feature several kinds of algae extracts, botanical peptides (from rice protein), and their proprietary Smart Collagen+ Complex.

The lightweight Marine Flower Peptide Serum ($110; 1oz ) is ideal for sensitive skin. I didn't get any adverse reaction and the soothing gel formula is refreshing as a skin reviver during the afternoon, especially if you're constantly sitting near a heater. It soaks into the skin immediately so you can layer other skincare products without waiting. I've been using this for a few weeks and my forehead lines seem to have faded a bit. You can use this serum 1-3 times per day.

The Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream ($96; 1 oz) gives a rich layer of moisture without being heavy. It also contains botanical hyaluronic acid (from beetroot) to boost up the moisture factor. Like the serum, it soaks right in but you might want to wait a minute before applying makeup. I would totally use this as a year-round eye cream.

Fueguia 1833 Muskara Holiday Collection

Fueguia 1833 has a sumptuous Muskara holiday collection for those seeking luxury gift ideas. 14 special Muskara fragrances were created to celebrate the festive season and each is based on the brand's signature Muskara Phero J perfume. Each composition features only one botanical note, keeping things pure and elegantly simple.

I got to try three fragrances. Muskara Polianthes (tuberose) is sexy, very woody and a bit spicy—basically nothing like an ordinary tuberose. I would even label this as a unisex scent.

Muskara Pelargonium (rose geranium) is true to its botanical profile. It's definitely a floral but it's not overly sweet. In fact, the plant-derived musk helps balance it out. I almost detect a lemongrass note at the dry down. Out of the three, Muskara Apis (honey bee) is my absolute favorite. Its honeyed earthiness makes me want to lick my wrist.

Each exquisite perfume is made with biodegradable plant ingredients and are free of synthetic dyes and preservatives. They're also packaged in a gorgeous wooden gift box that's hand made from fallen tree trunks.

The 2017 Muskara holiday collection ranges from $377 to $922 for 100ml bottles. Available at the Fueguia 1833 NYC boutique (21 Crosby Street) and fueguia.com.

Clarins Everlasting Cushion & Everlasting Compact Foundation

Clarins recently launched their new Everlasting Cushion Foundation SPF 50 ($44, refill $31), which is exciting for us Clarins makeup fans. I absolutely love how this formula makes your skin look so hydrated. It's easy to build coverage and the result is a glowing, satiny finish. It's definitely a reliable option for winter as we constantly battle dry indoor heating. It contains organic quinoa, white tea and lampsana extracts to combat pollution and maintain hydration. Shade 107 Beige worked perfectly on my light-medium skin tone. 

Everlasting Cushion Foundation in 107 BeigeThe revamped Everlasting Compact Foundation SPF 9 ($44) now has 17% less packaging, giving you a tiny bit more room in your makeup bag. For those who seek a matte finish, this one is supposed to have up to 15 hours of wear time. The light-medium coverage results in a very natural, ultra-lightweight finish that feels comfortable on the skin. Available in 13 shades, it's easy to find the right match. I find that 103 Ivory and 105 Nude worked well for me. 

Available at all Clarins counters and www.clarinsusa.com.
