This time of year poses some shopping dilemmas. Everyone is looking for bargains be it online or off. Everyone has their favorite shopping site. I do. But in the fall there are other things to consider. Fall clothing and accessories are out in all their lush splendor, but the temperature gauge clearly still reflects summer numbers.

You can stock up on discounted warm-weather basics like shorts, T-shirts and sundresses – but isn’t that what we already have? What’s an eager shopper to do? Turn your attention toward a new beauty destination for a fix or try out some fun products.

One of the newest spots to be buffed and polished is the much-anticipated Bliss Nail Spa on Shepherd. (No relation to the major beauty product company of that name.)

Bliss takes its nail services seriously, offering designated parking and a seat at the nail bar for those who need an emergency manicure.

Feeling royal? The private, leather pedi-thrones may be the way to beautify. The spa features a “Flavor of the Month,” choosing chic colors and styles for the latest in nail fashion.

Available for private parties, Bliss has a bright, modern décor. And aside from the nail bar, there’s a bar of the real kind, offering everything from coffee to cocktails.

But the nail spa’s least-glamorous aspect is what I find most comforting: a sterilization center where the stainless steel instruments are cleaned after each use in a proprietary three-step process that includes a germicidal/disinfectant soak, ultrasonic debris removal and medical-grade steam sterilization by an FDA-approved autoclave.

Natural beauty is the hook of British skin care line Nude, new to Sephora and Whole Foods. The “99 percent natural” line is made without parabens, mineral oil and silicones.

Creator Bryan Meehan previously owned Fresh & Wild organic food stores in London and saw a need for healthier products. Arranged by five skin types (dry, normal, oily, sensitive and aging), Nude’s products include cleansing oils, moisturizers, masks, scrubs and hydrating waters priced from $34 to $100.

Party season is fast approaching, and the No. 1 item to see me through the whirlwind is the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask. Any of us who’ve placed chilled cucumber slices on our eyes will appreciate these eye masks filled with three forms of glow-inducing oxygen, antioxidant vitamin C and anti-puff cucumber extract.

The treatment takes 15 minutes and costs some coin; the kits includes four packets at $54 each. Available at Sephora and www.blissworld.com

And because you just never know when a hair emergency may occur, the Hairspray Pen is at the ready. This sleek pen, good for 120 spritz-ups, promises salon-worthy holds. The extra bonus? The Hairspray Pen is TSA-approved for all United States flights.

It’s $5, available at Blue Mambo Salon in the Museum District.

I plan to cover other skin-related products such as acne products and eczema cream. Subscribe to my feed to be notified of future posts.
