For some, Melrose Place is a soapy 90s drama that once aired on Fox. For others, it’s the home of Violet Grey. (Guess which camp we fall into?) Its stylish Web site and Violet Files newsletter are big draws, but the magic is a credit to founder Cassandra Grey’s curation. Known for being an early adopter of the best-selling products of tomorrow—Augustinus Bader, Fara Homidi—she’s now toting her testers to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Violet Grey’s new boutique, designed by William Sofield, stocks small brands like C & the Moon, Dr. Loretta, and Sofie Pavitt alongside larger players Victoria Beckham Beauty, 111Skin, and Santa Maria Novella. We’re willing to bet that “East 78th Street” will soon have some of the cachet of “Melrose Place.” At least to our people. (43 East 78th Street, violetgrey.com)—Ashley Baker

When we think of longevity, we usually think body and brain, but what about the skin? Now, at Estée Lauder’s first Skin Longevity Institute, glow seekers are invited to dive beneath the surface and explore the impact of nutrition and stress management. The institute occupies a corner of the spa at Hacienda AltaGracia, an idyllic Auberge Resorts hotel in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica. The protocol starts with a scan from a device that diagnoses texture, tone, and trouble spots. Then it’s a full battery of facials and body treatments using Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv products. Gurus in nutrition, breath work, and stress management fly in from all over the world to connect outer and inner beauty. After all that, take your glowing, S.P.F.-protected self to a superfood-powered meal by the tiled pool. Can we live like this forever? (Treatments from $75 to $615, aubergeresorts.com) —Ashley Baker

I’d never dream of leaving town without a full battery of omega-3s, magnesium, L-theanine, a few melatonin, and the occasional lorazepam. (The White Lotus was onto something!) But nothing undermines a Métier carry-on quite like a sad plastic pillbox. This alternative, from a new start-up called And Repeat, is a thing of beauty. Made of a BPA-free and recyclable polymer, its spacious compartments hold eight large (or 35 small) pills. I’m tempted to buy another one to store my earrings and small necklaces. Those of us who travel light need all the hacks we can get. ($68, andrepeat.com) —Ashley Baker

Do I need to sing the praises of vitamin C serums? Surely everyone knows by now that they’re powerful skin-brightening, skin-protecting antioxidants. Still, because they can stink and sting, I tended to use them somewhat begrudgingly. Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe changed that for me. It’s a glowy oil that gives skin a dose of moisture, and it’s loaded with a lavish 14 percent vitamin C along with vitamin E, another antioxidant that works to stabilize the vitamin C and extend its potency. Unlike so many other C serums, this one has the delicious scent of a freshly peeled orange. I put it on before a workout, and when I finish, both my body and face feel stronger and fitter.

In 1985, a facialist in London whipped up a cleanser in balm form loaded with herbs and sold it with a muslin cloth. The feeling of smearing it on your face and tenting the hot damp cloth on top for a moment to allow everything to melt together was one of life’s little pleasures. Now Eve Lom has added another cleanser to her lineup. It’s also packed with botanical oils—the eucalyptus, chamomile, clove, and hops of the original blend, along with lavender and geranium. The oil is faster than the balm—just a few pumps and splashes of water, and you’re on your way—but it’s just as effective at dissolving makeup and sunscreen. As you pat your immaculate skin dry and marvel at how refreshed and hydrated it is, you can also pat yourself on the back for a job well done. ($70, evelom.com) —Linda Wells

If you believe in consistency, then Laura Slatkin’s new Voyages collection for her Nest line is right up your alley. The scents, inspired by travel and imagination, come in four forms apiece. You can spritz your pulse points with the eau de parfum, rub the perfume oil on your skin (or stir a few drops in your body lotion), light a candle in the same scent, and set up a reed diffuser as the finishing touch. The fragrances, conceived by some of the top perfumers working today, take note of Slatkin’s own glamorous adventures in St. Tropez and the Middle East (Oud Mystique), India (Hypnotic Amber), Versailles (Rose Sublime), and Capri and Positano (Cerulean Coast), among others. The packages are decorated with grisaille paintings—the gray-and-white design often used in murals—giving them a quiet sophistication. I’ve stared longingly at Slatkin’s travel photos, dreaming of becoming a stowaway. The Nest Voyages collection is the next best thing. (from $195, nest.com) —Linda Wells
