Beauty Rx. South Beach psychiatrist Eva Ritvo, M.D., teamed with Beverly Hills dermatologist Debra Luftman, M.D., and penned The Beauty Prescription (McGraw-Hill, Aug. 2008), a book that looks at the mind-body connection to feeling beautiful. You’re already beautiful, you say? Well, good for you! The authors explain that beauty is more than skin deep — feeling good on the inside greatly contributes to your outer beauty. And, they add, research shows that beautiful people move further in their careers, make more money and are happier people in general. The book offers beauty boosters and busters, along with specific steps you can take to be more beautiful. The cost is $24.95. Learn more, and take a quiz, at www.thebeautyprescription.com.

Rose Romance. The natural look is back. “Coverage where you need it, not everywhere, and skin that looks real” is the new trend, explains Fred Vellon, senior artist, MAC Cosmetics. It’s only fitting, then, that the company is launching its Rose Collection just in time for summer. Inspired by hues that mirror the natural beauty of the rose, the collection will feature lipstick, tinted lipglass, eye shadow, beauty powder and more. A rose, by any other name… just isn’t MACnificent, if you ask me. www.maccosmetics.com Smurfy Collection. Got the blues? Smurfette has you covered… your face, that is. Remember that cute blonde from The Smurfs TV cartoons? In January, she launched her very own limited edition Smurfette Collection, produced by Too Faced. You’ll feel smurfilicious with So Smurfy Illuminating Face Powder, $26, which will bring back childhood memories of when you didn’t need makeup. Smurfy-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner, $17.50, comes in two shades — Smurf You, a glimmering blue sparkle, and Feelin’ Smurfy, an opalescent white glitter. Smurfs everywhere will be starry-eyed. www.sephora.com

Nail It. OPI Nail Colour, the high-quality nail polish with quirky names (Hi Def, Arm Candy), is now available at Sephora. This new line, Sephora by OPI, comes in 54 jet-setting shades that are environmentally conscious, formulated with no DBP, toluene or formaldehyde. They retail for $9, and you can still expect the same vibrant colors and durable finish OPI is known for. www.sephora.com

Kat Von D Color. While at Sephora, check out the new Kat Von D Autograph Eyeliner ($16). The shades and their names — Black Metal Love, Brass Knuckles, Eyegasm — are as colorful as the tattoo artist herself. In a neat little container that resembles a skinny nail polish bottle, the low-maintenance applicator makes applying color to lids easy. This stuff stays on all day, and doesn’t smear. Shades are vibrant, so if you’re the “neutral” type, Kat’s not for you. www.sephora.com

    Quick and polished makeup for work

    These days, everyone is in a hurry or has limited time in the morning. Most people think they don’t have enough time to apply makeup for work. Something I’ve noticed is, they have a great outfit on and are office-ready, but something is missing. They just don’t look polished from the neck up.
