We try dozens of beauty products each month. These were our testers’ three favourite launches this week:

They say:
A long-wearing eyebrow pen that promises to be ‘waterproof, sweatproof and heatproof.’ Featuring ultrathin bristles for hairlike strokes, the pen can be used to fill in gaps and naturally give the appearance of more bulked up brows.
We say:
This brow pen offers a super-simple way to fill in and shape brows. Our tester found the fine-tipped applicator allowed for mess-free application that really did look like little hairs. True to its claims, it didn’t budge on skin after applied — yet washed off easily with cleanser and water at day’s end.

They say:
A gel-cream moisturizer from the Canadian skin-care company Jouviance. Targeting the renewal of radiance, this formula features pure Vitamin C, peptides and niacinamide to smooth fine lines, reduce inflammation and even skin tone, according to the brand.
We say:
Featuring a press-top applicator to dispense the product without contamination, our tester found a pump or two of this cream worked to cover her face and neck. The lightweight gel-cream gives skin an instant drink. With use, she reported noticing an improvement to the overall appearance and “glow” of her skin.

They say:
A hydrating hair mask that’s specifically formulated for fine-to-medium hair. Suitable for all hair textures, the superfood mask features acai extract, passion fruit oil and a ‘hydration complex’ to quench dry strands, improve softness and add shine.
We say:
After finding many hair masks too weighty for her finer hair, our tester was excited to try this formula. Applied in the shower and left on for five minutes, the cream formula rinsed well without leaving a heavy feel. After hair was dry, she reports strands felt softer and appeared less frizzy. Love!
