my settings
  valentine's, schmalentine's. now that we've crossed that bridge, buy yourself a bottle of love, scrub those sins away and have a heart with this list of february's picks:

go faux.
it's official, natural is overrated. the laura mercier faux lashes ($18) give eyes just the boost of drama that every woman needs. easy-peasy to apply, but if your eye-hand coordination is lacking, visit mercier's new lash bar for expert application. available at henri bendel. 712 fifth avenue. between 55th and 56th. www.lauramercier.com


a bientôt.
it's so hard to say goodbye. to gucci westman, that is. the international artistic director takes her final bow this spring but leaves the pout-à-porter lipstick, lancôme pixel pink ($24), to remember her by. created in collaboration with designer thakoon, this creamy, rich raspberry shade is sure to be gone soon, so move fast. available at lancôme. 201 columbus avenue. at 69th. 212.362.4858. www.lancome-usa.com


scrub those sins away.
the tocca stella body polish ($54) is made from crushed olives, safflower and grape seed oil and leaves skin smooth and subtly scented with fresh blood oranges. it's a friendly reminder that spring is just around the corner. available at barneys. 660 madison avenue. at 61st. 212.826.8900. www.tocca.com


pedigree.
kilian hennessey might be the grandson of that hennessey, but don't think he's going to rest on those laurels. the perfumer has launched six fragrances, and our fave is the love by kilian ($225 - $2,500). it's a warm blend of neroli, sambac jasmine, iris, vanilla and musk packaged in a richly patterned box under lock and key. available at aedes de venustas. 9 christopher street. between gay and west 8th. 212.206.8674. www.aedes.com


just can't get enough.
depeche mode may have been on to something. the townhouse spa seven hour massage ($945) confirms our belief that there is absolutely no such thing as too much of a good thing. play hooky and let townhouse do some work on you. 39 west 56th street. between 5th and 6th. 212.245.8006. www.townhousespa.com


have a heart.
she certainly does her part to combat heart disease with the bobbi brown heart truth lip palette ($40). the palette includes four versatile shades and a mini lip brush, and was designed to raise awareness for women. available at www.bobbibrown.com
