My 2023 BeautySense Picks
Based out of my home city of Montréal, BEAUTYSENSE is an online provider of beauty & cosmetic products. They recently reached out to me to collaborate, and I was invited to select the products that most appealed to me — a task made rather difficult, because there are so many new-to-me brands that I wanted to try. Eventually, I narrowed it down to these 3 and couldn’t be happier with my choices.
CHANEL · New Le Vernis 2023
In the latest edition of CHANEL’s 24-hue Le Vernis range, the brand has tweaked both the formula and the brush, along with launching 17 new shades. As a long-time collector (over 30 years now!), I’ve seen many iterations come and go, and what impresses me the most is that CHANEL is always looking to improve & innovate. Oh, and the colours are absolutely FAB.
Guerlain · Abeille Royale Double R Renew & Repair Eye Serum
Inspired by the best-selling Abeille Royale Double R Serum (reviewed here), Guerlain recently launched a serum for eyes that will be replacing the former version in the range. The dual chambers are not only visually pretty cool-looking, but this formulation now packs a bigger punch than before … and that’s always a good thing, in my books.
CHANEL · Rouge Allure Velvet (2023)
Originally launched in 2011 as a bridge between a matte & luminous finish, Rouge Allure Velvet has been reinvented in 2023 with twenty shades encompassing the red spectrum. In fact, the colour red has great significance for the House, as this was the shade Gabrielle Chanel believed expressed the true power of a woman. Personally, nothing says “I’m owning it” quite as effectively as a red lipstick, wouldn’t you agree?
Dior · Summer 2023 Collection
Dior’s Summer 2023 Collection draws inspiration from the sun-drenched French Riviera, with jewel-toned hues and easy to wear shades that just screams summer. Well, maybe not scream, but definitely whisper dreamily … it is the French Riviera, after all.
