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
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
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.
Article content
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.
