out, d*** spot

Brown spots and uneven skin can be two of the more frustrating cosmetic concerns to try to resolve. DDF's new Discoloration Reversal-Pods hope to change that. The company's new Micro-Radiance Complex combines ingredients designed to reduce the appearance of skin discolorations and help reclaim the natural radiance of healthy, younger-looking skin. A sponge-like applicator gently exfoliates the skin and preps it for the treatment. After only three to four weeks of use, DDF Discoloration Reversal-Pod has been shown to deliver noticeable benefits. DDF Discoloration Reversal-Pod, $70 for 28 single-dose pods, Sephora

whiff of spring

Andy Warhol once said, "My favorite smell is the first smell of spring in New York." Bond No. 9 used that quote, and his stylized floral paintings, as inspiration for Union Square, the newest fragrance in the Warhol eau de parfum collection. The perfume itself balances sweet and cool with lily of the valley, blue freesia, golden amber and animal musk mixed with green stem and white birchwood. The flacon features a Warhol's "Flowers" and arrives in stores March 15. Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Union Square 3.4-fluid-ounce eau de parfum, $195, Saks Fifth Avenue at Fashion Show mall
