  2007 is coming to an end. take a walk on the weil side, find some sweet suds and get misty with these december beauty picks:

weil side.
new age guru andrew weil wants to scrub you down. his newest prod in paris is the origins matcha tea body scrub (45€). mixed with japanese sea salts, the invigorating antioxidant crystals in the scrub are based on the traditional tea ceremony principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. available at origins. 30 rue st. sulpice. at rue tournon, 6e. 01.56.81.08.02. www.origins.com


sweet suds.
suds up with your fave french taste sensation. ladurée has teamed up with sephora to bring you soaps in the shape of their delectable macarons. avail in three "flavors" (strawberry pink, baby yellow, buttery beige), these limited editions are going fast. be a smart cookie and buy yours today. available at sephora. 79 boulevard st. germain. near rue hautefeuille, 6e. 01.55.42.62.90. www.sephora.com


sicilian scents.
they're always on the cutting edge, but this time, prada goes traditional. the new infusion d'iris eau de parfum (103€) is blended by perfumer daniela andrier. think only italian ingreds like sicilian mandarins and iris flowers. it's très elegant and chic, and would make a perfect gift for your amie this xmas. 10 avenue montaigne. at rue clement marot, 8e. 01.53.23.99.40. www.prada.com


dior derma.
dior's got a new look. but it has nothing to do with clothes. the dior dermo system (36-75€) is the first system to preserve men's skin. a super moisturizer deeply hydrates with a flawless matte finish. who says men can't be baby smooth? available at printemps haussmann. 64 boulevard haussmann. at rue téhéran, 9e. 01.42.82.57.87. www.dior.com


misty me.
imagine the lagoon waters of tahiti misting all over your body. the te moana energizing spray (35.50€) from the manea spa in the polynesian islands will calm your feathers with just a spritz. algae extracts, along with vitamins and minerals, will replenish your body and make you feel like a million bucks. available at le bon marché. 24 rue de sevres. at rue de bac, 7e. 01.44.39.80.50. www.maneaspa.com
