Beauty review of Elizabeth Arden Sunset Bronze Prismatic Highlighter, Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask and Vichy Replumping Lip Balm.
They say: A highlighter stick for use on the cheeks and brow bones. Featuring "ultrafine light-reflecting pearls," skin gets a brightening glow without glitter. Ingredients including Aloe Vera, Zinc PCA and Vitamin E add a touch of hydration.
We say: This highlighter has a gold hue to provide a more subtle hint of an inner, sun-kissed glow. Our tester was impressed with how easy the chubby crayon was to use — just a few sweeps here and there left skin looking lit from within sans sparkle. While we didn't notice a significant hit of hydration, we did notice the absence of any cake-y product, which is sometimes associated with colour sticks. Perfect for adding a kiss of highlighting colour on the go or on vacation.
They say: A rich, hydrating face mask that hydrates, smooths and improves the overall wellness of skin while protecting it from "environmental aggressors." Dermatologist tested and free of alcohol, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petrochemicals, silicones and artificial colours and fragrances.
We say: This thick mask does double duty — it can be worn for 10 minutes and washed off, or worn overnight for a bigger moisture kick. Our tester was pleased with the performance of this product, it made her combination skin feel smooth and hydrated — without a slick of leftover product residue. Gentle on skin without feeling too thick, it's a perfect skin mask for spring and summer.
They say: A moisturizing lip treatment that subtly replumps lips. The non-sticky, non-greasy formula can be used under makeup and is dermatologist tested. Safe for sensitive lips.
We say: This treatment isn't like most "plumping" products. It doesn't tingle or smell of cinnamon, basically, it just feels like a nice lip treatment. Our tester was pleased with the way it seemed to smooth lips, especially before applying lipstick, but didn't notice any dramatic plumping. Perfect for a pre-makeup prep.
