New and Notable

THE CLARA BOW
Silent film stars like Clara Bow relied on kohl pencils and ruby lip color to make their expressions readable to the audience and create movie star glamour in the process. In the '80s this trend carried from the screen to the street when heavy eyeliner and bright, bold eye shadow became all the rage. For Aveda's Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, Global Makeup Director Rudy Miles returned to the dramatic eye and the techniques that make it work. The red lip with its glaze of vibrant Poppy lip color also endures. aveda.com —M.D.

Cream of the Crop
Chloe & Jane Ultra Smooth Body Butter looks—and smells—good enough to eat. Infused with fragrant hints of grapefruit and jasmine, it also contains cocoa seed butter to restore skin flexibility, shea butter, grapeseed to help support cell renewal and Japanese green tea leaf extract to reduce puffiness. If that's not enough, it's also paraben-free and 98 percent natural. chloeandjane.com —M.D.

Get It Om
Rich in Eastern tradition with a Western aesthetic, Asha Patel's jewelry is as beautiful as it is meaningful. We love her new leather bracelet branded with the symbol of om, which signifies peace through the balance of mind, and her new leather cord bracelet strung with a labradorite stone, which promotes self-control, inner peace and clarity. ashapateldesigns.com —L.A.
