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 hand-select 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.
Oh, how I love a good lippie—especially when it imparts 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-but-still-there look that stays put throughout the day. It doesn’t transfer either! This lipstain also offers a spectrum of vibrant shades for those who crave a bold splash of colour.
The glow-y sunscreen stick
I’ve been a fan of Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Dew Drops for what feels like forever. When I heard the brand was transforming this beloved product into a stick form with SPF, I was immediately sold. This *chef’s kiss* formula feels just like the dew drops but with the added convenience of being able to glide it all over your face. The overall glow makes me feel like I’m walking around with glass skin—and who doesn’t want that? The best part is I know I’m getting sun protection and skincare in one.
The easy-to-blend cream bronzer
Bronzer meets skincare? Immediately, yes. As someone who has struggled to find products that are right for my skin, I’m constantly on the hunt for makeup that doubles as skincare. Lately, Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer Bronzer has been my go-to for an added glow. It blends seamlessly into my skin and leaves it 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—seriously, *no* 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.
