ROSE N’ROSES EAU DE TOILETTE

They say:

A “fresh, sparkling” scent from Dior that features an “abundance of rose notes” that are “brightened” by Bergamot zest. The made-infrance fragrance also features notes of Italian mandarin, geranium and white musk.

We say: The rosy scent is fresh and fun. In the midst of the winter doldrums, this fragrance had our tester daydreaming about sunnier days ahead. While the dominant notes are definitely rose, our tester remarked how much she enjoyed the mingling of the citrus and musk notes. $100 for 50 ml | Holt Renfrew; holtrenfrew.com

OLE HENRIKSEN TRUTH JUICE DAILYCLEANSER

They say: A facial cleanser from Ole Henriksen that removes dirt, oil and makeup while addressing skin concerns such as uneven texture and dullness. The formula is suitable for normal, dry, combination and oily skin types.

We say: Our tester enjoyed the orange scent and creamgel consistency of this cleanser. A small amount is all that’s needed to fully wash away the day. The gentle cleanser left skin feeling clean but not stripped.

L’ORÉAL COLOR RADIANCE PURPLE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

They say: A new shampoo and conditioner combination that promises to “neutralize brassiness in just one use.” Concentrated purple pigments work to reduce brassiness on natural blonds, coloured blonds and grey hair.

We say: Our tester tried this product on her highlighted brunette hair. The shampoo and conditioner each boast a vivid purple hue. Applied for the suggested amount of three to five minutes each, the resulting effect was, indeed, less brassy. Bonus points for not leaving hair stiff and dry as some purple-product combinations do.
