We’re only a few days into 2008 but I’ve already got the winter blues. It’s freezing outside, my hair’s got more static than a Waco radio station, and I’m just feeling, well, blah. Which is why I’m now obsessed with tracking down uniquely scented beauty treats to perk me – and my nose – up. Hey, the right coconut-scented lotion will at least help me pretend that there’s not a foot of snow outside my door.

Get a whiff of these odor-iffic products:

Malin + Goetz Cilantro Conditioner: Holy guacamole, Batman! The spicy herb usually found at Mexican restaurants is now being used to nourish your hair and keep it from being too dry or Ole!

Philip B Scent of Santa Fe Shampoo: Tap into your inner Georgia O’Keefe with this pinon-, sage-, and juniper berry-scented product.

Philosophy Red Velvet Cake 3-in-1 Ultra Rich Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath: Because you know you’ve never been able to turn down red velvet cake. Downside: The unshakeable feeling that you’re starring in “Psycho 2.”

Fresh Violette Body Cream: This ain’t your granny’s violet body lotion, thanks to sophisticated (but natural) ingredients like pomegranate milk and mango butter.

Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Body Cleansing Gel: All the sugary goodness, none of the calories.

Still boo-hooing because Santa didn’t bring you a rock nestled in a robin’s egg blue box? Get over it, and play around with the next best thing.

Givenchy Prisme Solitaire All-Over Diamond-Effect Powder has all the sparkle of a diamond ring without the obligation to, say, commit yourself for all eternity (or at least until the ink on the divorce papers is dry) to a man who trims his toenails in bed. The dazzling powder as is luxe as it sounds (it goes for $50 a pop), but bling like this doesn’t come cheap.

Prisme Solitaire is designed for the face and body, so sweep some on wherever you want a little 24k oomph (and I do mean anywhere). It’s sexy, but not too girly like the glitter you used to douse yourself with back in high school (okay, college). Case in point: It comes packaged in an uber-glam, uber-adult leather diamond ring box, with a velour pouch and brush to boot.

Go on then – let 2008 be The Year of The Diamond.

Between Keira Knightley vamping up the screen in “Atonement" and the mob moll-chic pics I found of Diane Kruger on PopSugar, I’ve gone gaga for art deco-inspired beauty. Want to make like Diane and channel your inner Zelda Fitzgerald (minus the crazy)? Go back in time with these retro finds.

BeautyHabit.com Colerete Gal Rouge: Add a kiss of color courtesy of these mini (and adorably illustrated) blush compacts.

Estee Lauder White Linen Fluttering Feather Perfume Compact: Yep, there’s real perfume in this lavishly bejeweled feather compact, which perfectly captures the decadence of the Roaring ‘20s.

Lancome Precious Carat Lip Gloss Jewel: Treat your kisser to this sparkling gloss encased in an oversized diamond made from Swarovski crystals.

Yves Saint Laurent Variation Blush: This matte/iridescent blush duo recalls Mondrian’s artwork, while the gold casing is pure big money, baby.
