The Beauty Products We’ll Be Using All Month Long

FASHION‘s beauty team is made up of Beauty Director Lesa Hannah and Beauty Editor Suzie Michael. Each month, they’ll be discussing their favourite new products (whether they’re new-new or just new to them).

Sappho New Paradigm Liquid Foundation in “Leisha”

I received a bottle of this years ago, back when it came in a tiny brown bottle. It’s likely the reason I didn’t give it a fair chance, even though I’d heard great things about it (there’s a reason it’s a best seller), as it wasn’t that easy to dispense. But it got reformulated last year and now comes in a pump and I haven’t stopped wearing it since founder JoAnn Fowler gave me a bottle when she was recently in town. As a non-foundation wearer, I love it because it has a super clean ingredient list, and I especially love that it has no silicones. It’s not full coverage, which is perfect for me since I don’t like to see foundation visible on the skin. It just cancels out redness around my nose and chin and is totally imperceptible. —L.H

Clean Reserve Acqua Neroli Eau de Parfum

I’ve never considered myself a “fragrance person”—I wear perfume most days, but I don’t really experiment a ton with scents. Once I find something I like, it becomes my signature scent for...a long time. Clean Reserve Amber Saffron has been my go-to for the last couple of years. Recently, however, I was at a preview checking out the new Clean Reserve fragrance and before I smelled it, I overheard someone say that it was “inspired by the essence of Mediterranean citrus breezes and deep blue sea” and I instantly knew it was going to be The One. With notes of mandarin, neroli, amber, it legit smells like vacationing along the mediterranean. I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to make any scent my new signature, it’s going to be that. —S.M
