Article content A liquid foundation that acts as a “blurring elixir,” offering light-to-medium coverage and a second-skin finish. Featuring hyaluronic acid to help smooth skin, the vegan-friendly formula promises up to 12 hours of wear. A little of this liquid foundation goes a long way.

Our tester applied it both directly on skin and blended with a primer and found it was easy to blend and had a super lightweight feel. Leaning more toward a matte finish, pairing with a hydrating base or a may be recommended for more mature skin. $43 | , From the core collection of Balmain hair products, this moisturizing elixir features pure organic Argan oil to provide shine and smoothness to hair, along with silk proteins to strengthen and repair strands.



A few drops of this colourless elixir — perfect for avoiding any colour deposit to blond or highlighted hair — yielded smoother, sleeker strands. Our tester found it could be reapplied between washing days to the ends of hair to provide added polish, and a gorgeous scent, to strands. $88 | A nail polish collection featuring a rainbow of colours.

The system sees a base coat, colour and top coat (each sold separately) applied for a gel-like shine, minus the UV curing. A big fan of the appearance of a gel manicure, our tester was excited to see how this at-home, UV-free polish system would work. Easy to apply — just like a regular nail polish — our tester found two thin coats of colour were needed for complete coverage of the nail.

Our tester loved the shade Bubble Bath, a soft pink hue that gave nails a perfect natural, barely there hint of pink. Quick to dry with a super-shiny finish, it wore well on her nails lasting well past normal polish. $16.
