forget the pumpkins and autumn leaves. fall's here and all we're thinking about is smelling divine, achieving perfect skin and getting that perfect post-orgasmic flush. and they call us shallow.
 walk like an egyptian.
inspired by the dark, dynamic fall 2007 collection of brit wunderkind alexander mcqueen, mac
for mcqueen ($14 to $24) hits counters this month. an egyptian element is clear in the colored kohl eyeliners and bold shadow colors. a muted lip saves the day and keeps this look wearable day and night. 175
fifth avenue. at 23rd. 212.677.6611. www.maccosmetics.com
 greek to me.
korres natural beauty prods from greece are as addicting as say, spanakopita. years after opening its first homeopathic pharmacy in athens, the line has set up shop in the US. its first store is located in manhattan and promises finds in a super cool space. try some of the newest wonders like almond and avo body cream (if you're preggers) or the thyme and sage face gel. 110
wooster street. between prince and spring. 212.219.0683.

 totally outrageous.
created by the noses of sophia grosjman and legendary perfumer frederic malle, outrageous ($110) is a unisex blend. packaged in a sleek and simple bottle, this can also double as a cool addition to your vanity. available
at barney's. 660 madison avenue. at 61st. 212.826.8900.

 tough love.
christine chin isn't known as the 'queen of mean' for nothing. a
glow facial ($180) with this guru at her newest location might just make you cry. no, it's
not just the extractions that are so painful. bring a thick skin and prepare
yourself for some major scolding on skin care. but whatever you do, don't chicken
out and cancel that appointment. your card will be charged anyway. what's
the appeal? flawless skin. 82 orchard street. between grand & broome. 212.353.0503. www.christinechin.com
 luxe must.
the new christian dior facial ($300) developed by dr. neil sadick and the dior skincare academy combines a divine extended facial massage. expect kneading, shiatsu and drainage, with the application of the brand's ultra luxe skincare products to nourish and rejuvenate stressed city skin. 911
park avenue. between 79th and 80th. 212.772.7242.

 curiouser and curiouser.
despite the dark innuendo, alice in wonderland still makes us nostalgic for our childhood. when we discovered gianna
rose atelier's new alice's treasures guest soaps ($37.50), we were sufficiently obsessed. a colorful baroque box includes a porcelain soap dish and three carefully crafted and fresh scented soaps including a key (to fit into talking keyholes), a timepiece (for rabbits who run late) and a heart (for a certain disagreeable queen). curious indeed. available
at blue tree. 1283 madison avenue. at 92nd. 212.369.2583.
