They say: A limited-edition lipstick set featuring two new matte shades from the Rouge Allure Velvet collection. The two hues — 478 Rencontre and 479 Crush — come with a gold keepsake case and are decorated with the emblematic quilting of the Coco Crush ring. While this limited-edition set is likely to sell out quickly, there are several new beauty launches from the brand that can be discovered this season.

We say: The two, special pink-and-brown-hued lipsticks in this collector’s case are wonderfully wearable. The luminous matte formula feels comfortable on lips, providing a velvety finish that wears well throughout the day. Plus, we love that the gold-toned carry case can be used to house other Rouge Allure lipstick favourites.

They say: A rich face cream from the French brand Biologique Recherche that promises to increase skin’s plumpness and density in 56 days. The cream addresses loss of structure of the Extra-Cellulaire Matrix (ECM) where the loss of collagen, elastin and more due to aging can lead to fine lines and loss of density.

We say: Our tester applied this “bi-gel” formula as directed, both morning and evening on the face, neck and décolleté. The product has a thick, cocooning texture, but the gel aspect sees it feeling surprisingly lightweight on skin after absorption. With use, she reported noticing an improved plumpness and dewiness to her skin.

They say: A brightening serum from Clarins’ top-tier skin care collection, Precious. Tapping into the power of Moonlight Flower cryoextract and a ‘crystal radiance technology,’ along with a cystoseira seaweed extract, this facial serum boosts radiance and smooths texture.

We say: Our tester applied this serum on clean skin before applying it before her moisturizer. A small amount of the product covered the face and neck nicely. With continued daily use, she noticed her skin appeared smoother and firmer. Not a big fan of the ‘glass skin’ look, our tester was happy to report this serum boosted her skin’s radiance, but wasn’t greasy or shiny.
