Pampering oil
Lightweight and dry to the touch, Vichy Nutriextra Extraordinary Nourishing dry oil is especially designed to keep sensitive skin supple and smooth.

All white
Following in the footsteps of fashion, white feels fresh and modern in beauty right now. Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry nail enamel in Spirit (335) gives nails a quick “mod” mani ($7, 14.7 mL). Eau de Lacoste Pour Femme features white florals; the bottle’s piqué-textured cap is a nod to the iconic piqué cotton Lacoste Polo T-shirt ($81, 50 mL). Brighten eyes
