3 trending beauty products we tried this week
three buzzed-about beauty products we put to the test this week. rare beauty
they say: a collection of colour makeup pencils for lips and eyes that are offered in 24 colours, a nod to the luxury french house’s flagship store in paris located at 24, faubourg saint-honoré. the brand has also released a line of lip liners under the same name.
we say: whether opting for the lip or the eye iterations, these luxe pencils provide good colour payoff and long wear. our tester liked the range of wearable shades, which feature neutral and pop-of-colour options, to create a precise line or a smudged lived-in look.

they say: a ‘supercharged’ skin care solution for overnight repair, this night cream features ingredients including squalane, olive tree stem cells, and coenzyme q10 to repair and revitalize skin while you sleep.
we say: a little of this rich overnight cream goes a long way. with a balm-like texture, it creates a layer on skin to help provide intense hydration while you sleep. our tester, a woman in her 60s, noted an improvement to her skin’s moisture levels and texture with use.

they say: a rich body cream from the selena gomez-backed brand that has a ‘pudding-like’ texture. boasting a fresh, floral-peach scent, the product has skin-smoothing ingredients including plant-derived butters, natural oils such as jojoba and tsubaki, and niacinamide.

we say: unsure of what to expect given the pudding reference, our tester was pleased to find this rich cream is thick but not greasy. a dollop of the cream gave skin a dose of moisture, and scent, without leaving a greasy or weighty feel. it’s a body cream that’s rich enough for the winter but will also be a welcome skin saviour come summer, she reports. love the scent? the brand has released a fragrance mist for body and hair to match.
