DR. ROEBUCK ’S

Boost & Tighten Serum

They say: A facial serum boasting a formula of active ingredients and something called “CNYouthMolecule” that will give your skin a boost and help tighten damaged skin.

We say: This pleasantsmelling (it has a light, lemony scent) serum goes on smooth and covers well. Skin is smoother after application, but it does feel a bit dry, so, if you want dewy this may not be your product. However, its smoothing effect makes it a perfect partner to go under a good moisturizer or your foundation. $79.95 | Shoppers Drug Mart

BENEFIT COSMETICS

They’re Real! Duo Eyeshadow Blender

They say: “It’s beyond easy to get bigger, sexier eyes with these perfectly paired powder eyeshadow duos. The crease-resistant, longwear formula lasts 12 hours and the custom ShadowBlender fits your eye shape to ensure expert eyeshadow application every time.”

We say: It really is as easy as the brand claims — virtually idiot proof. And it gives a great blended effect. Colours are perfectly paired — all in neutrals — to achieve a polished and flattering look. You just have to be mindful of which direction the colour is being placed on the eyelid to avoid opposite positioning of colours on each lid. $31 | Sephora

AVENE

Eau Thermale Avène Trixera Nutrition Nutri-fluid Balm

They say: “Instant nourishing effect that lasts up to six hours after application. Hydration guaranteed for 48 hours. Comforting body care for dry to very dry skin.”

We say: Our tester noticed a marked improvement with skin’s texture and comfort after using this product. It’s almost fragrance-free — just a hint of scent. Overall, it’s a remarkable dry skin treatment for face and body that is easy to apply and absorbs immediately. $30 | Drugstores
