CAROLINA HERRERA GOOD GIRL SUPREME EAU DE PARFUM
They say: A new addition to the Good Girl scent collection, this eau de parfum features notes of “juicy” berries, Egyptian jasmine, tonka bean and vetiver for an audacious fragrance that “breaks all the perfume rules.” The fragrance comes bottled in the trademark Good Girl stiletto.
We say: This feminine scent is playful and powerful at the same time. Our tester found the berry notes dissipated quite quickly on her skin, leaving behind the heady notes of jasmine and tonka bean. The eau de parfum has good staying power, lingering nicely throughout the day. $130 for 50 ml |

NE O STRATA RESTORE COLLECTION
They say: A “specialized” skin-care collection from Neostrata that harnesses the power of polyhydroxy acids to gently yet effectively exfoliate skin and improve overall texture and radiance. The product is billed as being suitable for all skin types, including “the most sensitive.” We say: Prone to redness, our tester can, admittedly, be a tad timid. Any time the word “acid” and “exfoliant” even appear on a package, her skin begins to turn pink. Thankfully, this product line is as gentle as advertised. From the cleanser, to the daily moisturizer, to the eye cream, she found the formulas left skin looking more radiant and feeling hydrated, without any upset.

GIORGIO ARMANI BEAUTY LIP MAESTRO VENICE COLLECTION
They say: A new colour collection from Armani Beauty that's inspired by the Italian city of Venice. The “warm neutral” shades range from beige to rich browns and deep reds, each one offered in the pigment-rich gel formula of the Lip Maestro line. We say: The colours in this collection range beautifully from natural to moody to bold. But it's the formula that leaves the biggest impression. Our tester was impressed with how smooth the lip colour applied. Colour was instantly full-coverage. The product smoothes onto lips without any skips, and the applicator wand made precise application easy. The lightweight matte formula stays comfortable and doesn't dry lips out.
