THIS JUST IN

KAT VON D BEAUTY DAGGER TATTOO LINER They say: A long-wearing liquid eyeliner with an angled brush tip to “expertly cut” with a 30-degree edge for professional cat-eye results. We say: Achieving a perfect cat eye can be intimidating, especially with a liquid eyeliner that’s marketed as being longwearing. Small mistakes can lead to big smudges. But, our tester reports this easy-to-use liquid liner made lining eyes with a dramatic flick an easy feat. The colour goes on pigmented and doesn’t skip, gliding smoothly over lids. And the best part? No fading or flaking of the inky line throughout the day. $25 | Sephora GIVENCHY

LE ROUGE PERFECTO BEAUTIFYING LIP BALM They say: A 3-in-1 lip balm that plumps and moisturizes lips, while also providing a “sheer wash” of natural colour. We say: These luxurious lip balms come packaged in a pretty, genuine leather case. And, trust us when we say the lip-smoothing product contained inside is just as impressive. Our tester was pleased with the pretty pink hue the aptly named Perfect Pink gave lips. The lightweight lip product provided an instant hit of moisture and a subtle shine. $45 | Holt Renfrew

MARC ANTHONY BYE BYE FRIZZ 8-IN-1 PERFECTING SERUM

They say: A multipurpose hair serum that promises to protect hair from hot tools and humidity, reduce frizz, smooth and repair strands, nourish, moisturize and strengthen. The formula features hydrolyzed silk, dual keratin, Abyssinian oil and sunflower seed oil to nourish strands.

We say: We tried this serum on both wet and dry strands and were impressed with both applications. The lightweight serum absorbs well, but doesn’t disappear completely, so frizz-prone strands feel noticeably more smooth and contained. $11.99 | Walmart
