As The Curator’s beauty editor, it’s my duty to test out buzzy beauty products when they’re sent my way. Every month, I handpick which ones are worth sharing with our readers—only a select few make it to the top of my list. Read on for this month’s shining stars.
The miracle barrier repair cream
Like magic in a bottle, this Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream practically adds a real-time filter to my skin. Despite trying numerous redness-banishing products in the past, none compare to this gem. Infused with a powerful ceramide-building complex, redness-reducing boerhavia diffusa root and antioxidant-rich cica, it instantly soothes and repairs the skin’s lipid barrier—perfect for sensitive skin types. I used to rely on tinted moisturizer before stepping out; now, I can’t leave the house without applying this cream.
The long-lasting lippie
Oh, how I love a good lippie—especially when it leaves a natural finish that lasts. This CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain had a viral moment on TikTok, so I knew I had to try it. The subtle stain of this dreamy pink hue enhances my pout’s natural colour, for a barely-there look that stays put throughout the day. It doesn’t transfer either! For those who crave a bold splash of colour, this lipstain also offers a spectrum of vibrant shades.
The glow-y sunscreen stick
I’ve been a devoted fan of Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Dew Drops for what feels like forever. When I heard the brand was transforming this beloved product into an SPF stick, I was immediately sold. The *chef’s kiss* formula has the same amazing feel as the original dew drops, but now with the added convenience of an easy-to-apply stick. The resulting glow makes me feel like I’m walking around with glass skin—and who doesn’t want that?
The easy-to-blend bronzer
As someone who has struggled to find products that are right for my skin, I *adore* makeup that doubles as skincare. Lately, Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer Bronzer has been my go-to for an added glow. It blends seamlessly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated for hours. A little goes a long way with this formula—I apply just a couple of dots to the high points of my cheeks and an even smaller amount to the bridge of my nose for a natural, sun-kissed appearance.
The sublimely scented deodorant
I’ve never found a deodorant I loved, until Athena Club’s Coconut Sparkle formula came into my life. Now I have a forever favourite. Indulgent, luxurious and perfect for all-day freshness, applying this deodorant has become a daily treat, thanks to its irresistible scent. It glides on effortlessly and leaves no white residue. Made with clean ingredients, it’s gentle even on my sensitive skin. And I don’t stop at my underarms; I like to swipe this all-over formula across my collarbone for an added scent.
The nourishing body & hand wash
If I had it my way, every product in my shower would smell like the spa. MIFA’s Eucalyptus Body & Hand Wash delivers on that promise. The Vancouver-based brand focuses on full-body wellness, with nourishing formulas made from traditional botanicals that bring the spa experience home. I love how this product infuses my shower with the refreshing scent of eucalyptus and is crafted with skin-loving ingredients like avocado, aloe vera and cocoa butter. It provides an invigorating cleanse that leaves my skin feeling soft to the touch.
