Clarins ready in a Flash eyes & Brows Palette

They say: An eye-and-brow palette featuring six shades to make you “selfie ready in a flash.” The palette features four eyeshadow shades (two matte and two shimmering), as well as a dark and light brow colour.

We say: This multi-purpose palette is a true treat. Our tester enjoyed how the shadows applied to eyes, providing a pretty wash of matte or sparkly colour, even without a primer base. The brow powder can be used to quickly fill in brows for a perfect look. $42 | Shoppers Drug Mart

DIOR J’ADORE ABSOLU EAU DE PARFUM

They say: A new floral scent from the House of Dior. The fragrance, created by perfumer Francois Demachy, is built around the heady scent of Grasse jasmine, with notes of sambac jasmine, rose and magnolia to “take on the sweetness of a delicious syrup, a sublime, natural and seductive nectar.”

We say: This floral fragrance makes a powerful perfume statement. Our tester was pleased with the initial spritz and dry-down, as well as its staying power. While it wasn’t her favourite scent — she prefers something a bit more sweet — the mature scent is sure to be a fast favourite with those who love jasmine and white florals. $172 for 75 mL | Hudson’s Bay

MAYBELLINE NEW YORK SNAPSCARA MASCARA

They say: A new mascara from the makeup mega-brand Maybelline that is formulated without waxes, so it’s fully pigmented, easily removed with warm water and won’t flake off.

We say: This mascara glides easily onto lashes. Our tester applied several coats for a more defined look. The formula wore well throughout the day and didn’t flake or smudge. And, true to its promise, the mascara was easy to remove at day’s end (no raccoon eyes here!). $10.99 | Mass retailers
