sip of coffee
Usually new cosmetics collections for spring contain a roundup of bright, poppy colors meant to evoke the florals that emerge at this time of year. Not so at Armani Beauty. The Armani Caffe Collection includes five lipsticks, two lip liners and a lip shimmer, all soaked in rich golden browns and nudes inspired by coffee. It's kind of like an end-of-winter bonus line. Armani Caffe Collection Lip Shimmer in 45, $25, and ArmaniSilk Lipstick in 65 (left) and 62, $25 each, all available at Armani at Via Bellagio
get cereus
Men can get serious about their fragrance with a new collection of colognes meant for the guy who lives outside of anyone else's expectations. Cereus, a collection of men's fragrances that takes its name from the Night Blooming Cereus that blooms once a year in early summer, has an aroma for the dark, mysterious man and the breezy, clean-cut type. Personally, we like Cereus No. 4: A fresh and zesty scent that includes notes of citrus, crisp green apple and papyrus. Cereus pour Homme No. 4 2.5-fluid-ounce spray cologne, $125, Barneys New York at the Shoppes at the Palazzo
a little more action
Even the energetic guy needs his own line of grooming products. Anthony Logistics to the rescue. Seven new products in the Action by Anthony for Men line address the man on the go with energetic new products to help them start their days. Two of the best include the Anthony Logistics 2-in-1 Shave Cream that can be massaged into the skin as an aftershave balm, and a Rescue Eyestick that delivers a dose of caffeine to tired under-eye areas. Even the active guy needs a little boost every now and then. Anthony Logistics 2-in-1 Shave Cream, $25, and Anthony Logistics Rescue Eyestick, $25, both available at Barneys New York at the Shoppes at the Palazzo
just perfect
Remember the Secret commercials that touted it was strong enough for a man, but made for a woman? Kind of the idea behind 3LAB, a line that just came to Vegas via Barneys. The company combines cutting-edge technology with botanical ingredients to create a just-perfect line of skin-care products. The line includes WW Cream, a powerful moisturizer that helps stop the signs of aging, WW Eye Cream, which plumps the skin around the eye area, and H Serum, which helps reawaken skin when working with the WW line. And men even like the line so much that they may borrow it from your medicine cabinet. 3LAB WW Cream, $400, 3LAB WW Eye Cream, $250, and 3LAB H Serum, $250, all available at Barneys New York at the Shoppes at the Palazzo
