Bioré
Blue Agave + Baking Soda Micellar Make-up Removing Cloths
They say: Gentle micellar cleansing clothes from the brand Bioré that feature “refreshing ingredients” that “work to balance the skin and prevent dryness.” The soft clothes feature small beads to help remove dirt, oil and cosmetics from skin without too much scrubbing.
We say: Face wipes are the perfect solution for post-workout or post-flight skin pick-me-ups. Our tester tried these makeup-removing wipes for both purposes, and was pleased with how well they removed makeup and grime, but didn’t strip skin. The subtle exfoliation, courtesy of the aforementioned small beads, is a nice touch for waking skin up, too.

Bastide
Elixir II Nourishing Oil Face & Décolleté
They say: A lightweight oil from the French brand Bastide that’s formulated with botanicals, antioxidants, and extracts to moisturize and strengthen skin. Suitable for use on the face and neck, this oil promises to boost radiance and protect against environmental damage.
We say: Our tester used this oil on her face and neck as both an overnight treatment and a pre-flight mask. Applying it to freshly cleansed skin, after a few spritzes of toner, the oil smoothed easily onto skin and didn’t leave things too, well, oily. It has a soft feel and subtle scent — and it left our tester’s skin feeling hydrated and happy.

Inika
Brow Perfector
They say: A brow-fibre gel from the natural beauty brand Inika. The product, which is available in three shades (Birch, Walnut and Espresso) uses plant-based waxes to shape and subtly tint brows.
We say: The small brush applicator on this brow product makes application a breeze. Our tester, who battles with sparse brows, was pleased with how it applied without clumps or smears of products. It boosted brows without adding too much product or colour and wore well throughout the day.
