Cleanse like a pro on the go
The makeup removers and cleansers from this French brand have a cult following, and for good reason — they really work! The famous mild formula now comes in portable soap-free cloths that remove makeup and purify skin no matter where you are.
The new 9-to-5 bag
There’s nothing like a new purse to freshen up any wardrobe. This fall, designers are playing with texture, like this durable saffiano leather, to add extra interest to clean shapes. Tip: To make your investment stylish and practical, look for a handbag that has a shoulder strap option.
Bag, $149, Danier.
Instant beauty oil
Pamper yourself from head to toe with this luxe and deliciously scented oil. Four essential oils (ylang-ylang, jasmine, rosewood and lavender) and nine plant oils combine to nourish, restore and strengthen skin on both face and body. It can even be used to repair and fortify dry, damaged hair. We’re hooked!
The Revitalizing Oil, $55, Darphin.
The natural cream of choice
Beauty editors in the know have been buzzing about this niche brand, and now it’s available in Canada. Pretty packaging, delicious botanical fragrances and anti-aging ingredients make this body lotion a standout. The best part? The formulas are 100 percent natural and have the much coveted Ecocert stamp of approval.
Tata Harper Fortifying Body Lotion, $84, murale.ca.
