Fashion icon Gabrielle Chanel believed that the lips are the “interpreter of the heart,”—and as it turns out, the French maison’s latest beauty launch is the key to ours. This month, Chanel expanded its treasured range of Sublimage Les Extraits skincare treatments with the launch of a luxurious new lip oil, Sublimage L’Extrait Huile Lèvres.
Infused with vanilla planifolia and swertia extracts with fortifying peptide, it’s the lightweight amber oil that works overnight to rejuvenate your pout. Plucking this lippie out of its accompanying tweed-lined leather case is the self-care moment we look forward to daily.

Hung Vanngo, the makeup mastermind behind Selena Gomez‘s best glam looks, has officially launched his own makeup line at Sephora Canada. Made up of ultra-pigmented eyeshadow palettes, long-wearing lipsticks, slick liners and more housed in scarlet red packaging, Hung Vanngo Beauty is the result of the MUA’s 20 years of experience.
“The brand is built on performance and purpose, I put everything I know into these products so that no matter what your skill level you can create something beautiful,” says Vanngo in a press statement. “And honestly, I still get so excited every time I use them.”

Packed with skin-loving ingredients like ceramides, peptides, and a trio of moisturizing butters, Summer Fridays’ Blush Butter Balms have lived on our cheeks all month long. Available in six dewy yet buildable shades from neutral pink “Soft Strawberry” to warm rose “Toasted Terracotta,” these cheek flushers remind us why blush is one step we may never skip in our beauty routines.

Gourmand fragrances have been all the rage lately, but Gisou’s three new Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oil shades make a major case for food-inspired lip products. Coating lips with a sheer swipe of colour, there’s milky warm “Sticky Toffee,” creamy pink “Vanilla Glaze,” and rich brown “Milky Mocha.” What’s more, each lippie smells as delicious as the sweets they’re inspired by. So yummy, it’s hard not to lick your lips after application.

Drawing inspiration from the art of sculpting, Haus Labs’ just-dropped Precision Sculpt Shaping Balms seamlessly chisel, shape, and define the face with foolproof accuracy. Across six colour families that cover all skintones, each shade name is derived from sculpting terms like “Curve,” “Taper,” and “Silhouette.” Once you’ve sketched out the areas you want to contour, use the brand’s new Dual-Ended Precision Sculpting Brush to buff the product to perfection, like a true artiste.

True to the fall season, we’ve had our fair share of gloomy weather this month. The new fragrance that brightened even the rainiest of days? Nest New York’s Creme De Clementine Eau de Parfum. A sunshine-filled swirl of clementine zest, delicious vanilla cream and cozy blonde woods, it’s the slice of summer we can’t seem to let go of.

To drive home the idea that Dermalogica’s new NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum thrives on human touch, the brand brought a squad of media and influencer gal pals together in Toronto to sculpt each other’s faces earlier this month.
When pairing this innovative launch with the NeuroTouch sculpting technique developed by Dermalogica’s Professional Skin Therapists, the skin-mind connection is stimulated, releasing feel-good hormones like dopamine and endorphins. Through physical touch and a biomimetic botanical blend of skin-lifting ingredients, facial symmetry is restored over time, and the face appears visibly sculpted. See, self-care is science!

If the words “matte” and “foundation” in the same sentence terrify you (same)—but you’re still in search of something that’ll control shine in all the right places, Charlotte Tilbury’s latest complexion launch was made for you. Promising a 3D-matte, full-coverage finish that blurs imperfections without looking drab, the Airbrush Flawless Finish Foundation is like magic in a bottle. One thing about beauty darling Charlotte Tilbury? She simply doesn’t miss.

As a brightening agent, vitamin C is one of the most widely sought-after ingredients in skincare. Where other topical vitamin C products have been capped at 8 to 20 percent concentrations so as not to irritate the skin, Vivier’s newly launched Serum 30 safely ups the dosage. Through its patented IntraDermal System (IDS)—which allows for optimal comfort, absorption and results—the serum combines two distinctive forms of vitamin C for a powerful 30 percent concentration overall. Brighter skin, minimized hyperpigmentation, and boosted collagen, here we come.

The legacy of the iconic Boss Bottled fragrance lives on through Boss Bottled Beyond, a spicy yet fresh concoction of ginger and sensual leather that lasts from dusk ‘til dawn. It doesn’t hurt that heartthrobs Maluma, Bradley Cooper and Vinicius Jr. are the faces of the scent, either.
