Dior
Backstage Glow Face Palette
They say: A face palette from Dior that features four face shades each. Designed to suit all skin tones, the face palettes boast “ultra-fine textures” and shimmery pigments to create a “customizable look — from a natural, healthy glow to intense radiance.” Available in two shades: 001 Universal and 002 Glitz.
We say: We tried the 002 Glitz palette, which features a gold shade, a pearly white with glitter, a bronze “holographic” option and a shimmering peach. The colours gave skin a soft, pretty glow that’s wasn’t over the top but had skin looking more luminous than before.

Clarins
Intense Lip Protector
They say: Four new “bolder” shades have been added to the Lip Protector line. Featuring the “cushion” applicator that’s designed to “hug” every nook and cranny of the lips, the lip-smoothing formula softens lips with shea butter, while providing a bold pop of colour.
We say: The lip treats left our tester’s lips feeling soft and hydrated. She liked that the formulas were glitter-free and easy to build — one quick sweep yielded a soft wash of colour while a few more passes gave a more saturated shade.

Libertine Fragrance
Soft Woods
The say: From the Edmonton-based fragrance brand Libertine Fragrance, this “woody, floral, sweet” fragrance is unisex and boasts notes of black pepper, juniper berry, balsam fir, rose de mai, vanilla bourbon extract and musk.
We say: Our tester loved this scent. Appreciating the way it balances more familiar notes like vanilla and musk with more unfamiliar scents like black pepper and juniper berry, the overall appeal is unexpected — and intoxicating.
