  lately, the snow has given way to rain, but you don't care. there's too much beauty to be had this month. give them the pink slip, get the skinny and don't be afraid to smell and tell with part two of march beauty picks:

shine of the times.
the best feeling is that after-salon 'do. now you can look like you have an in-house stylist with fekkai salon glaze clear shine rinse ($28). pearl and sweet almond protein, along with silicones and grape seed extract will make your hair shine like your man's ride. available in april. 712 fifth avenue. at 56th. 212.753.9500. www.fredericfekkai.com


pink slip.
the summer 2008 collection has gone wild. before it runs away, snag the chanel limited edition flamingo nail colour ($19). don't worry, you won't blend in with the flock. and it's the perfect accessory for those urban safaris. 15 east 57th street. between madison and 5th. 212.355.5050. www.chanel.com

designer or not, your hairdryer has killed your coif. regain that sexy shine with blow restorative hair masque ($20). this treatment uses concentrated organic shea butter to revive those limp locks. don't be afraid to masque your problem. 342 west 14th street. between 8th and 9th. 212.989.6282. www.blowstylingsalon.com


thick skinned.
face it: with your dry skin, you're shedding like a lizard. and no one digs the gecko look. squeeze on some VMV creammmy-rich intense moisture milk ($24). it's specially formulated for sensitive, dry skin, with an added SPF 15 to boot. available at www.vmvhypoallergenics.com


the skinny.
your derma is showing. and that's a-ok with the fractionated CO2 treatment (starts at $5,000). dr. francesca fusco works miracles in a single visit to eliminate scars, fine lines and irregular pigmentation. the only down side is a four to five day recovery. but hey, more time to catch up on tivo. 145 east 32nd street. between 3rd and lexington. 212.684.2626.


smell and tell.
you know her daughter as the chihuahua-toting party girl. but now mom shares in the lime light with the new kathy hilton my secret perfume ($68). mandarin and florals mesh for a scent that can be worn day or night, socialite or not. available only at www.macys.com

earthen wear.
you eat free-range meat and reuse shopping bags. next up, the new physician's formula organic wear 100% natural bronzer ($13.95). this fine organic powder gives you that sun-kissed glow, and the compact is made from recycled paper, so just toss it in the green bin when you're done. available at your local drugstore or online at www.physiciansformula.com
