The Natural Look

By Kate Betts

Tanning moisturizers. Mushroom-based antiaging supplements. The earthy scent of pine needles mixed with eucalyptus. A bumper crop of beauty products hitting the market this month features nature-inspired remedies, fragrances and even design (think butterflies). Some make great holiday gifts, while others may go so far as to inspire a whole new lifestyle--naturally, of course.

SCENT OF A SEASON For perfumer Jo Malone, the smell of fresh pine needles evokes childhood memories of a very special time of year. Just in time for the holidays, Malone has bottled the scent of pine mixed with eucalyptus for a limited edition of cologne, bath oils, soaps and a candle.

SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES Chantecaille's new pressed-powder compacts and eye shadows, below, feature embossed butterflies. A portion of sales goes to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation.

INSIDE-OUT BEAUTY AND WELLNESS The idea behind Dr. Andrew Weil's new skin-care line for Origins is to attack common problems like inflammation with topical and ingestible ingredients. The mushroom-based line, which includes three products, below, is available at origins.com

GETTING THAT HOLIDAY TAN French skin-care company Clarins has come up with a moisturizer that's equipped with self-tanning agents so it hydrates while delivering a faux glow.

FOR THE GIRLS WHO LIKE SOME CURL For eyelashes that need a tweak--or for the beauty-product aficionado--Tweezerman's limited-edition pocket curler is the ultimate stocking stuffer. The rounded, nonlatex pad is easy on the eyes, and the gizmo's cut-down size makes it portable in the purse.
