New year, new you. That’s what all of the slogans say we should strive for. Well instead of just paying lip service to our resolutions, here’s a simpler solution to finding success (at least in beauty and skincare). This month’s Beautyscopes roundup features 12 fabulous favorites from Chantecaille, all of which are available at Neiman Marcus. So what are you waiting for? Go check these out because remember: Change is good.

	You need to alter your approach to things this year, Aries, personally and professionally, if you want to expand your horizons and find more happiness. With that in mind, we recommend trying Retinol Intense on your skin because it offers retinol in its most active manner, which means fine lines and sun damage are continually diminished every time you apply it. It also contains mallow, which guards against inflammation; jojoba, evening primrose, and macadamia oil, which moisturize and nourish; and essences of jasmine, narcissus, and rose.
	Clear communication is the most important goal to strive for during the next 12 months, Taurus. Because if you achieve it things will fall into place, but if there are too many misunderstandings you may fall on your face. Here’s where packaging can play a big part. Surround your smile Super Lip Sheers. They combine a sheer gloss with the convenience of a lipstick that also offers Vitamin E protection. Lips look luscious in the shimmery beige of Milky Way, the soft pretty in pink Venus, or the natural pink-brown beauty of Pegasus.
	Take risks this year, Gemini, but on the same token, make sure you’re always covered with a backup plan or some reliable reserves. You’ll find success is sure to follow. Another thing we’re sure of is the completely cool Les Papillons Poudre Delicate powder Chantecaille made exclusively for Neiman Marcus. It’s lightweight with an ultra-soft and ultra-smooth texture. Its finish is made flawless with the help of a new technology that covers you with hydrating elements such as Monoi de Tahiti Butter, which moisturizes and protects. It also has gold particles to give you a radiant glow.
	You’ll get a fresh start for romance during the next several weeks, Cancer, which will make you lucky in love for next 11 months thereafter. And now that you know you’ll be meeting someone special, it’s a good time to make sure your skin is as seductive as it should be. We suggest trying out the Rice & Geranium Foaming Cleanser. It’s so gentle and soft on your skin because it’s made with a botanical formula that’s so fabulous for your face. It also purifies, tones, and balances. Application is a synch because it comes in an easy-to-squeeze tube.
	Before signing new contracts or entering new relationships of any kind, make sure you’re protected, Leo. Before you can trust anyone you have to make sure the situation is one you’re satisfied with. And speaking of protection, your lips will love you (and so will anyone you pucker them up to!) if you try Lip Moderns. It’s a new way to wear lipstick that not shiny or matte. It’s simply soft. These products provide protection, a bit of plump, and light wash of color to your clips. Shades include the soft red of Pomegranate, a deep berry of Boysenberry, and the brown with purplish tint of Quince.
	Traveling and viewing some incredible sights will be on the agenda for you this year, Virgo. So get ready to step outside and see the world. The perfect product for you to partner with then is another Chantecaille Neiman Marcus exclusive, Frangipane Eau de Parfum. It brings together an exquisite and sensually exotic blend of vanilla, jasmine, Moroccan orange, and water hyacinth. Coincidentally, it’s named after the botanist Frangipani who found jasmine after landing on Antigua with Columbus’ expedition.
	Teamwork will be the secret to ensuring your success for 2006, Libra. Working with partners at the office and at home will help you achieve all you are after. Here’s a product based on partnership that we hope will help inspire you the Jasmine & Lily Healing Mask. Joining the forces of these botanical elements was a great idea for the face because together they repair skin that’s dehydrated and sensitive. Skin’s surface is purified and revived as microcirculation is enhanced and redness diminished. Tired complexions will get just the kick they need to get them going!
	Don’t let people pressure you this year, Scorpio. Make decisions in your own time and don’t let fear (or the fear of those close to you) make you pale with worry. But think about getting acquainted with Aquablush now, just in case. Because this water-infused gel stick can give your cheeks a naturally dewy glow on days that seem less than sunny. It’s an ultra-fine powder that ultra-light for a smooth finish that’s refreshing and nourishing. It contains Vitamin C and some essential oils and comes in six sensational shades: Radiance, Frivolous, Daring, Brilliance, Enchanting, and Luminous.
	All eyes are on you in 2006, Sagittarius, which means it’s time to use your social skills if you want to succeed. It will take more than a bat of the eyelashes here, but it will do you know harm if those look luxurious and luscious anyway. It’s taken six years for Sylvia Chantecaille to come up with this new mascara, but it is well worth the wait because this product offers dynamic lengthening effects, a luminous finish, an antibacterial effect, and a delicate floral scent. Plus it’s non-clumping and moisturizing.
	Get educated this year, Capricorn. Learn everything there is to about everything you think you want to do or try. Because knowing is how to do something is half the battle in making things better. In relation to that, here’s a quick lesson on cover-up: try Bio-Lift Concealer. It’s a terrific two-in-one item that eliminates fine lines while it covers them through a concentrated delivery of anti-wrinkle Hexapeptide elements. It also smoothly covers over dark circles and blemishes in a breeze and contains an SPF of 10.
	Keep control of your goals in your hands from here on in, Aquarius. Last year too many people told you how to get what you wanted and instead you got nowhere. Believe in yourself and just do it. And to make sure your first handshake is firm but smooth Retinol Hand Cream will work wonders. It soothes and protects your hands with rose and Vitamin C in this new formula that brings together retinol’s anti-aging abilities with beautifying botanicals. It fight free radicals and doesn’t irritate the skin so instead it feels calm, clarified, and revitalized.
	Let’s get physical this year, Pisces. Now is the time to get into shape and stay that way. You can accomplish this if you keep your eyes on the prize. But in the process, there’s no reason why your lids can’t look lovely, right? So look for Les Papillons Shine Eye Shadow. It was uniquely designed by Chantecaille exclusively for Neiman Marcus with technology that enables two hues to be maintained throughout the entirety of the shadow. It’s a light, textured powder that provides a liquid iridescence to your lids and has a high density of minute pearl particles to make formula creaseless. Comes in three sexy shades.
