They say: A new fragrance from Rabanne that’s billed as its first Grand Floral scent, Million Gold for Her features white flowers, sparkling rose and a musk base.

We say: This is a sexy, sophisticated scent. Our tester found it balanced, the white florals mixed nicely with the musk, leaving a warm trail scent on skin that lasted well into the evening hours.

They say: A facial serum featuring a proprietary technology to “renew and balance” skin. The daily serum aims to address skin concerns such as redness and smoothness.

We say: With a smooth, lotion-like consistency, our tester found this serum had good coverage on skin. Applied along with her usual moisturizer and sunscreen, she found her skin appeared “healthier and more youthful” with use.

They say: Available in 12 shades, this pressed powder blush formula features a buttery feel thanks to ingredients like mango and almond butter. With both soft matte and glowing finishes, the pigmented blush products promise 12 hours of wear.

We say: Applied with a fluffy blush brush, our tester found this blush gave a bold pop of colour where applied. Buildable and easy to blend, we found the shimmer-infused shades boasted enough colour payoff and shine to double as both a blush and a highlighter for cheeks. We love a one-and-done beauty find.
