we are tired of the beach already (okay, not really, but we didn't want to go another round of "bathing beauty" picks). there are pressing matters at hand - like unreal 60-minute spa treatments and such.
 bess boy.
we're not sure how 21-year-old edward bess knows so much about lipstick, but we do know that his eponymous line's lip wardrobe is a beauty addict's newest fix. $350. exclusively at bergdorf goodman. 754 fifth avenue. between 57th and 58th. www.edwardbess.com
 above and beyond.
new prada facials at the ritz carlton are 90 minutes of all the way pampering. luxe, you expect, but then they go all out. deep breathing exercises and an extended massage keep the esthetician in tune with your particular needs. from $275. 2 west street. between 1st and battery places. 212.344.0800.

 kiss off.
artist julie verhoeven has designed handbags for both marc jacobs and louis vuitton (and you know you wanted those). apparently, lipgloss was a natural progression. new limited edition juicy tube from lancome has a unique design by the illustrator and, of course, makes your lips shiny. $17.50.

 plucky.
ramy gafni did britney's brows, but don't let that scare you. you're in able hands whether you visit his eponymous midtown east salon or rita hazan (thursdays, fridays, and saturdays only) for a brow shaping. from $75. ramyspa, 39 east 31st street. between madison and park avenue south. 212.684.9500.

 chill out.
bliss on a waterbed? no, it's not the 70s all over again, it's the chilled polar express massage at just calm down. $165/ 60 minutes. 32 west 22nd street. between fifth and sixth. 212.337.0032.

 caffeine buzz.
coffee's not just a pick-me-up anymore. revaleskin uses something called a coffeeberry to combat the signs of aging and enhance skin tone. one very prominent beauty editor refuses to part with her bottles of day and night cream. a better endorsement we cannot imagine. from $40.

 dare to bare.
take it all off with epilar, a new hair removal product from the netherlands. nothing less than a phenomenon in europe, this two-step system is applied following a professional waxing and reduces hair growth permanently by 20 percent each application. price varies by treatment area. at body essentials. 16 east 40th street. between fifth and sixth. 212.465.2220.
