Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Bounce Volumizing Mascara
Recommended Videos
They say: The latest addition to the bestselling mascara lineup from Benefit, this volumizing release promises “fuller, fluffier lashes” thanks to formula ingredients such as Linden Bud extract, rice wax and Provitamin B5.
We say: This mascara is easy to build for a more dramatic effect. One coat provides lashes with a nice boost, but two or three coats are even better.
Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Gel-Cream Moisturizer
They say: A face moisturizer with a gel-cream consistency, this product features a trio of collagen peptides to produce plump, bouncy skin with up to 24 hours of hydration.
We say: This moisturizer is one of the best that we’ve tried in months. No, really. A little goes a long way and the gel-cream texture provides a really smooth sensorial application experience. Our tester reported her skin had a “gorgeous” hydrated glow.
Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil
They say: A shade extension to the popular lip oil offering from Summer Fridays, the launch sees four new hues added into the mix. A plush lip oil formula featuring a vegan oil complex and Vitamin E, the product promises “high-shine and intense hydration.”
We say: These lip oils provide the perfect slick of hydration and shine. Non-sticky and with a hint of colour, we love the shade Bare Sand, a nice unfussy neutral.
