Rhode Pocket Blush

They say: A cream blush formula from the Hailey Bieber-backed brand Rhode. Featuring peptides and tamanu oil, the collection boasts six shades that offer a melt-on-skin, lightweight finish.

We say: There’s a lot of buzz around these blushes — and for good reason. Our tester found the formula had good colour payoff, was easy to blend and build, wore nicely on skin and gave a gorgeous pop. Plus, it has a one-and-done appeal, meaning our tester found it could be blended onto eyes and even lips for a quick, monochromatic makeup look. The shades Piggy, a bright pink, and Sleepy Girl, a dusty rose, were our fast favourites.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Night Restore.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Night Restore 

They say: An overnight face serum featuring vitamin C and provitamin D, along with 10 per cent glycerine and jojoba ester, to restore skin’s natural moisture barrier, boost radiance and hydrate skin — while you sleep.

We say: Boasting an “ultra-stable” vitamin C formula, this serum is billed as being suitable for normal to oily skin types. Our tester applied a few drops nightly for two weeks and reported a noticeable improvement to the overall smoothness and moisture levels of her skin, without any irritation.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Stix.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Stix

They say: A new addition to the Gloss Bomb collection, these lipsticks offer some lip love thanks to shea butter and vitamin E, along with a medium-pigment colour — and a whole bunch of shine.

We say: These lipsticks are a social media sensation, earning praise from beauty influencers large and small. Our tester reports these glossy lipsticks live up to the praise. A quick sweep yields colour and shine, with a cushiony hydration feel. Fab! Two’Lip Kiss, a gorgeous soft peach shade, is a must try hue.
