Everlasting Shimmer Veil Liquid Lipstick

They say: A collection of 24-hour wear liquid lipsticks that provide a “mesmerizing glimmer finish.”

We say: Admittedly, these full-shimmer lipsticks won’t be for everyone. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun to try on. Our tester was blown away by the colour payoff of a few coats of these glittery glosses. With each coat, lips looked more and more like a sparkly jewel that was practically begging to be shared on Instagram. $30 | Sephora

BAREMINERALS

Blemish Remedy Acne Clearing Treatment Serum They say: A blemish-fighting skin serum that features salicylic acid, mineral zinc, licorice root extract and meadowsweet extract to combat blemishes, as well as calm and smooth skin.

We say: This serum is like a miracle worker for acne-prone skin. Our tester, who battles breakouts, was impressed with the way her skin felt and looked post-use. Pores look subtly tighter, while a stubborn pimple even appeared reduced. An easy substitution for your current serum, this potion is a skin savour. $55 | Nordstrom

Parfum Sticks

They say: A collection of solid perfumes packaged in a convenient stick format that makes them perfect for travel. Provides up to six hours of fragrance.

We say: If you’re looking for a sexy collection of scents that promise to play nice with travel liquid restrictions, then you’re in luck. These scents are sultry — boasting notes ranging from fruity florals to warm and spicy. Our tester fell for 2am Kiss, a delicious scent featuring notes of salted caramel and crystallized amber. $49 | Sephora; Hudson’s Bay
