Each week, our team tests dozens of beauty products. Among the latest launches, three stood out as exceptional. Here are the top picks for this week.
Guerlain L’Art & La Matière Eau de Cashmere Eau de Toilette
They say: A new addition to the Les Eaux collection, this fragrance is described as an ode to textile materials that adorn the skin. It blends woody notes and white musk for a subtle yet refined scent. Delphine Jelk, Guerlain's director of perfume creation, notes, "If Eau de Cashmere were a textile material, it would be an enveloping and incomparably soft cashmere shawl."
We say: Cashmere is synonymous with softness, warmth, and luxury, and this eau de toilette embodies all three qualities. Our tester found it had a soft, powdery fragrance that lingered beautifully on both skin and fabric. It is truly stunning.
Price: $295 for 100 mL, available at Holt Renfrew.
DAISE Peptide Lip Butter Balm
They say: A nourishing lip balm formulated with peptides, shea butter, and meadowfoam seed oil to hydrate, smooth, and repair dry lips. The non-sticky formula comes in a convenient squeeze tube and offers a variety of flavors, including berry vanilla, cake pop, cherry bomb, sugar bear, very vanilla, and hot mocha.
We say: These lip balms provide a budget-friendly alternative to pricier peptide lip products. The formula delivers comfort, hydration, and a nice shine. Our testers particularly appreciated the dangling charm, which adds a trendy touch to the lip salves.
Price: $13.99, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Sisley Paris Black Rose Concentrate Radiant Youth Serum
They say: A concentrated facial serum featuring an exclusive Black Rose molecular extract, hyaluronic acid, einkorn wheat extract, and red vine extract. It aims to hydrate skin, improve radiance, and combat signs of skin damage.
We say: This serum has a rich texture, so a small amount goes a long way. Our tester reported that it provided a substantial dose of moisture and layered well with other skincare products like moisturizer and sunscreen. With regular use, she noticed her skin appeared plumper and smoother.
Price: $415, available at Holt Renfrew.
