If this week were an opera, these would be the high notes.
BITE
Little Oven Macarons
What: The luxe mini cookies ($20 for a dozen) rethought. Flavors like white peach and apricot, caramel fleur de sel, and passion fruit are like showering outdoors: familiar yet satisfyingly different.
Why: The NYC-based bakery isn’t held back by its tiny oven.
Where: Online at littleoven.com.
SMEAR
Lush Colour Supplements
What: Multipurpose maquillage ($14) works as concealer, foundation, and tinted moisturizer. Ingredients like rose petal extract and soya and rice bran oils keep skin healthy and creamy.
Why: A sticker on the bottom tells you when your pot was filled, when you should throw it out, and has a cartoon avatar of its maker.
Where: Online at lushusa.com.

SEE
Visa Signature Movie Perk
What: Visa Signature® cardholders get 20% off every $25 in movie tickets at Fandango.com/visasignature.
How: Pay with your Visa Signature card. Not sure if you have one? Check your wallet. If your credit card says VISA SIGNATURE, you have instant access to dozens of perks like this one and many others. See all the perks at visa.com/signature.
Go: Get tickets at fandango.com/visasignature. |
RIDE
Beatrice Holiday Bike Accessories
What: Loud and delightfully garish vintage upholstery fabrics sneak their way into the present. BH uses them to make the best seat covers ($28) and handlebar bags ($84) this side of 1980.
Why: We’re behind anything that comes in sizes small, large, and banana.
Where: Online at beatriceholiday.com.
BUY INTO
Consumer Reports Mobile
What: The trustworthy source for all things buyable now has a mobile service ($1 per day). Next time your head is spinning in front of the shiny new flat screens at Best Buy, this will talk you down.
Why: Polls, user reviews, and side-by-side comparisons eliminate your need for the returns department.
Where: Online at consumerreports.org.
DECIDE
What the F*#$ Should I Make for Dinner
What: Frank and pleasingly direct, the website takes the wishy-washiness out of meal planning with randomly generated recipes and at least three f-bombs per page view.
Why: You think this is rude? Reheating pizza rolls five nights a week, that’s rude.
