CHANEL HYDRA BEAUTY CAMELLIA REPAIR MASK
They say: A repairing face mask that uses camellia wax to hydrate skin from within, locking in moisture. The multiuse mask can be used all over the face as a leave-on treatment, rinsed off for a quick hit of hydration or applied for specific areas of concern.
We say: Our tester used this mask as an overnight treatment, rinsing it off in the morning before applying her usual daytime skin-care routine. The product has a thick, balm-like consistency that afforded a nice sensation when applied with a synthetic-bristle brush. The product didn’t feel thick or greasy on skin, and in the morning, her face looked more moisturized. $85 | Chanel.com GHD PLATINUM+ PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE 1” SMART STYLER
They say: A hairstyling tool that “predicts your hair needs” by “adapting” the temperature to ensure there is less breakage and more colour protection. Using “predictive technology,” the tool’s hot plates are monitored 250 times per second to ensure there is a consistent, 365-degree heat (said to be the optimum styling temperature for all hair types).
We say: With her frizz-prone hair that’s also quite thick, our tester is used to hot tools falling, well, flat. That’s why this smart styling tool was such a nice surprise. Our tester was impressed with the 20-second heat-up time of this device. The wishbone shape and tapered edges around the plate make this lightweight tool easy to use. Our tester says her hair was sleek and styled in a much shorter time than other hot tools. $299 | Chatters.ca
FENTY BEAUTY MATCH STIX GLOW SKINSTICK IN PURRRL
They say: An illuminating makeup stick with a soft pearlescent shine for an instant dewy radiance. Cruelty free and vegan formula.
We say: This multi-use stick has become a new go-to for our tester to get a quick glow. Whether applied to skin and buffed in with fingertips or a brush, our tester found this product was easy to apply — and effective. The formula isn’t tacky or greasy, giving skin a soft, pearly shine with minimal effort. $33 | Sephora.ca
