Discover the Top Three Beauty Products of the Week from Leading Brands

This week, beauty enthusiasts are buzzing about three standout products from prominent brands: Summer Fridays, Chanel, and Medik8. Each of these new releases has garnered attention for its innovative formulations and user-friendly application, making them favorites among testers.

Summer Fridays Blush Butter: A Flawless Flush

First up is the Summer Fridays Blush Butter, a buttery blush that combines skin-caring ingredients such as ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid with a trio of nourishing butters. This product aims to plump and smooth the skin while adding a natural flush of color. Available in six “dewy” shades, the blush butter has impressed testers with its ease of application.

One tester described the blush as “fabulous,” noting that it blended beautifully with both fingertips and a brush. A small amount provided a vibrant pop of color, and it was easy to build up for a more dramatic look. Testers also enjoyed layering it beneath powder blush for enhanced color and longevity. Priced at $35, this product is available at Sephora.

Chanel’s Eyeshadow Palettes: Artistic Elegance

The second highlight is a new collection of four-color eyeshadow palettes from Chanel, created by visionary makeup artist Ammy Drammeh. Part of the Comètes Collective, this limited-edition release features shades inspired by the French fashion house’s iconic buttons, accompanied by beautifully embossed designs.

Testers praised these picture-perfect palettes for their variety and ease of use. While the embossed detailing initially posed a challenge in application, the selection of shades in each compact allowed for the creation of diverse makeup looks. Retailing at $110 and available at Holt Renfrew, these palettes are a must-have for makeup enthusiasts.

Medik8’s Night Serum: A Gentle Retinol Option

Finally, Medik8 has launched a night serum featuring a patented “retinal stability system” designed to enhance effectiveness and potency. Recently introduced to the Canadian market, this vitamin A product claims to reveal younger-looking skin with consistent use.

One tester, new to retinol products, found this serum gentle yet effective. Over a period of use, she noted improvements in the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. The serum is priced at US$55 and can be purchased directly from Medik8.com.

These three beauty products have made a significant impact this week, showcasing the latest in skincare and makeup innovation. As the beauty landscape continues to evolve, these releases reflect a growing emphasis on quality formulations and user experience.
