L’OREAL PARIS

COLOUR RICHE ULTRA MATTE HIGHLY PIGMENTED NUDE LIPSTICK Theysay:A collection of the perfect matte lipsticks that won’t dry lips. The product provides “intense hydration” and a “super matte finish” with full-on colour pigmentation.

We say: These lipsticks go on seriously smooth. The shinefree formula gives a bold hit of colour that’s lightweight and not waxy. A nice alternative to some of the heftier matte options that leave lips feeling dry and caked, this formula felt smooth and comfortable all day long. Even after reapplying. $9.99 | Shoppers Drug Mart

STROKE OF PERFECTION CONCEALER Theysay: Eliminate the appearance of dark circles, blemishes and imperfections with this “innovative” concealer.

We say: This ultrasmooth concealer formula applies perfectly to skin and blends with ease. Ourtester was impressed with how well it blended with a brush, sponge blender or even a fingertip. Imperfections and darkness were immediately masked and the formula didn’t crack throughout the day. It’s officially her new favourite under-eye corrector. $28 | Hudson’s Bay

GIVENCHY L’INTER DIT EAU DE PARFUM

Theysay: A new take on the French brand’s iconic fragrance of the same name, which was originally released in 1957, this new edition opens with a floral white bouquet of orange blossoms, jasmine and tuberose, with an earthy base of vetiver and patchouli.

We say: This fragrance boasts a surprising balance of powdery floral notes with the sweet, darker elements of its base. Our tester was pleased with both the initial scent and the dried-down effect. While a tad sweet, the long-wearing scent lingers on the skin and leaves a lasting impression. $112 for 50 mL | Shoppers Drug Mart
