SKIN CAVIAR EYE LIFT SERUM

They say: A luxury serum that firms, smooths and lifts the eye area. The dual-chamber product features the Swiss skin-care brand's “cellular complex” to “restore youthfulness to the eye contour,” along with a blend of caviar components.

We say: Our tester applied one pump of this serum to the eye area daily. Gently dabbed onto skin, the serum gave an instant boost of hydration. The liquid-serum formula was lightweight and non-sticky, providing an easy base for any additional skincare or makeup products. With use, our tester reported fine lines and firmness were noticeably improved.

STRICTLY CURLS CURL ENVY LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

They say: A leave-in hair conditioner formulated for curly hair. Boasting strand-smoothing ingredients such as avocado oil, vitamin E and shea butter, the spray can be used on course, fine, thick or thin curls to promote softness, fight frizz and lock in hydration.

We say: Our tester spritzed this conditioner on her ultra-curly, frizz prone coif. The spray format makes application easy and mess-free. Used both as a detangler on freshly washed hair and as a curl pick-me-up in between washes, she found it left curls looking formed, smooth and not stiff.

GHLEE LIP BALM

They say: A nourishing lip balm that features antioxidant-rich ghee, along with mango seed butter and vitamin E to hydrate lips. Available in original, rose, chai, mango-papaya and mint.

We say: This lip balm gives a dose of smoothing hydration with one swipe. Our tester loved the rose iteration, which boasted the scent of a fresh bloom. It's the kind of balm you keep reaching for in your bag, she reports.
