Don’t tell anyone, but doing laundry brings me joy. The small-effort, big-reward act of transforming chaos into order lights up my pleasure receptors. It’s the easiest kind of before-and-after. (That said, I don’t have a family of eight.) Now, thanks to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Linen Care Set, the task actually feels a bit glamorous, as if I’m Eva Gabor on Green Acres, wearing marabou and chiffon to muck the stalls. The small jugs of detergent and fabric softener in his airy, citrusy Aqua Universalis scent have made me one of those people in detergent ads, huffing my bath towels and smiling to myself. There’s also a linen spray, but I draw the line at ironing. ($55 for the laundry set, franciskurkdjian.com) —Linda Wells

There is that inevitable point in winter when, no matter how old you are, you stop and ask yourself, “Do I have lice?” For me, that was last week, and once the anxiety gave way to reason, I realized I just had dry scalp. I walked myself over to Sephora and bought all the hair oils I could find. Briogeo’s new Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Scalp and Hair Oil was the winner. It comes in the kind of squeeze bottle colorists use to apply toner, which is so much easier and faster to manipulate than the typical dropper. Unlike many oils, it’s not at all sticky, so massaging it in is a real treat. After two sessions, my scalp is back to its usual self, and, fingers crossed, the rosemary oil might actually make my hair look more lush and healthy. ($32, sephora.com) —Clara Molot

Waiting patiently for my turn at Azi Sacks’s wildly popular brow studio, I heard a young woman say that she would never go back to using Laneige’s cult-favorite lip balm. I whipped my head around in time to catch her dipping her finger into a container labeled Forget the Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask. Right then and there, I ordered one in sheer and one in light pink. The consistency alone hooked me, and the mask slid on like a gloss not a tacky goo. It’s packed with shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a patented ingredient called Maxi-Lip, which is meant to boost collagen, I’m convinced my mouth already looks fuller, smoother, and softer.

I’m constantly in reform mode, adding a vitamin, upgrading a workout, or snapping in my Invisaligns after months of neglect. (I’m sorry, Dr. Lowenberg.) My current preoccupation is my approach to face-washing. Excuse me—skin-cleansing. With my slapdash gel and two cursory rinses, I’m an embarrassment to the beauty-editor community. But now I’ve seen the light, thanks to Victoria Beckham, whose new pair of cleansers has transformed me into a clean freak. The first is an oil that melts off makeup. Add a little water to your fingers and it emulsifies slightly. Next comes a lactic-acid brew that clears away any remaining oil and whatnot. They’re housed in handsome tortoiseshell-like cylinders and leave my face, if not my soul, perfectly immaculate. ($120 for the pair, victoriabeckhambeauty.com) —Linda Wells

I’m not a fan of most facials, because in my experience, their benefits tend to be fleeting. (Instead, I empty my pockets for Profhilo and Botox.) But the Illuminating Skin Therapy Session from the Hungarian brand Omorovicza at their new London headquarters, the Mayfair Institute, made me reconsider. It began with a thorough cleansing, but the magic started during the peel, which enlisted copper gluconate, lactic acid, vitamin C, and trace minerals found in the healing waters of Budapest. The facial massage, an intricate, blissful tango of tapping, pressing, and smoothing, left my skin looking so lifted and firm that my boss asked me twice—somewhat suspiciously—what exactly I’d had done. And for once, my answer didn’t involve any downtime. ($225, omorovicza.co.uk) —Ashley Baker

The law of attraction suggests that what we think about, we bring about. While that may prove true in some scenarios, I’ve nothing to show for the years I’ve attempted to manifest that perfectly imperfect, je ne sais quoi, French-girl hair. But now, thanks to La Bonne Brosse, my Breton stripes and I are one step closer. Designed in Paris and made in France from noble and biodegradable materials, La Bonne Brosse offers targeted brushes for various hair types and scalp situations. They also make the ritual of daily brushing more delightful, which is important given that the company recommends three minutes of brushing a day for hair health. Available in various colors, including a beautiful sage green, the brushes add style to your dresser, your nightstand, and, in the case of their mini-brushes, your handbag.
