U Beauty
The Super Intensive Face Oil
Article content
They say: An “oil-hydrator hybrid” that hydrates and protects skin’s lipid layer. Ingredients such as avocado oil, vegan squalane and hyaluronic acid combine to create a “powerful yet gentle shield” against dry skin.
We say: A few drops of this powerful facial oil gave our tester’s combination skin an instant dose of hydration. Applied to clean skin or overtop other creams, she found it remained nicely lightweight while giving skin more moisture.

Maybelline New York
Build-A-Brow 2-in-1 Brow Pen + Sealing Gel
They say: A brow gel and pen combination that promises to stay put for up to 24 hours. The pen features a smudge-resistant formula with an ultrafine tip to create “real-looking” brow hairs. The dual ended product features a gel to set the look.
We say: This product provides a user-friendly, one-and-done approach to brows. The pen is easy to use to fill in sparse spots, while the clear gel helps to keep unruly brow hairs in place.

Chanel
Chance Perfumed Hand Creams
They say: A limited-edition trio of perfumed hand creams featuring Chanel Chance scents — Chance, Chance Eau Tendre, and Chance Eau Fraîche.
We say: Saying goodbye to dry winter hands just got a lot more chic thanks to these luxe handcreams. A small dab of the rich cream goes a long way to coat hands with a soothing — and nicely scented — salve.
