They say: A loose powder that features 24-karat gold and diamond. This multi-purpose makeup product, which is available in a transluscent option as well as three shades (light, medium, dark), sets make-up while blurring and brightening.
We say: Our tester reports this loose powder is like an airbrush filter come to life. While it comes with a plush cosmetic pouf, our tester applied a small amount to areas of the face such as the undereye and T-zone using a synthetic-bristle brush. The effect was an instant brightening and setting of makeup for an ultra-smooth finish.
$114 | Guerlain, Holt Renfrew
They say: A spray-in hair treatment that features a patented Bond Building technology to prime hair for deeper repair when used with additional Olaplex products like the No. 3 Hair Perfector (sold separately).
We say: Our tester tried this strengthening spray on her dry strands. Perfect for an at-home spa day, the spray, when used in conjunction with the No. 3 pre-wash product, adds 20 minutes to your pre-wash routine. So, is it worth the time investment? Our tester found the extra effort paid off, noting an increased smoothness and softness to her hair with just one treatment.
$41 | Olaplex, Sephora
They say: Billed as the “ultimate fusion of medical-grade cosmetics and prestige makeup,” this skin-caring serum features ingredients such as Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to smooth skin while soft mineral pigments provide a nearly ‘universal’ skin perfecting veil.
We say: Our tester applied this tinted serum to skin in place of a foundation. The product goes on with an apricot tint but seems to transform to a skin-tone-matching hue. Her skin looked immediately more hydrated and radiant, she reports, while also looking subtly perfected.
$70 | Dermapure, Functionalab.com
