Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte’s Magic Hydrator Mist

They say: An oxygenating facial mist from Charlotte Tilbury that features hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, Kombu extract and more to instantly hydrate skin and provide a dewy glow.

We say: A hydrating face mist is a must-have in a skin care and beauty regime. This option from Charlotte Tilbury gives others a run for their money thanks to its instant hydrating effect. Our tester found it gave her skin a boost of hydration and radiance, whether used as a toner, a makeup setting spray or a midday skin refresh.

$58 | Holt Renfrew, charlottetilbury.com

Lierac

Lift Integral The Firming Day Cream

They say: A firming face cream with an “ultra-melting texture” that features vegan-friendly ingredients that are billed as being 98 per cent of natural origin. The “silky” cream smooths wrinkles and improves skin’s elasticity for a lifted effect.

We say: Our tester, a woman in her 60s, tried this day cream. Noting the product has a rosy scent, she reports that a small amount covered skin nicely and absorbed well. With consistent use, she found her skin appeared more hydrated and smooth.

$85 | Shoppers Drug Mart, shoppersdrugmart.ca

Jason Wu

Kindness for Your Lips lip oil

They say: A nourishing lip oil from the beauty line from fashion designer Jason Wu. The clear formula features a blend of oils including sunflower and jojoba, along with Vitamin E and Goji extract, to nourish and smooth lips.

We say: This lip oil gave our tester’s pout a kiss of shine and comfort. The non-sticky formula smoothed onto lips without making a mess, she reports, thanks to the sponge-tip applicator wand.
