Hot New Products to Check Out!
Compiled by Sakina Khawaja and the FW Staff
The FW staff has taken a personal interest in some of the products featured – read on to see what we thought!
Ojon Hair: Restorative Hair treatment
is a great product out there to soothe the scalp, help restore and maintain hair growth – just think of it as your personal hair makeover! With ingredients from the rainforest in South America, this treatment provides that natural feel needed when our hair feels dry and dead. Just rub it warm into your palms and spread it all over your hair. The application of oil in hair is an old method used by many cultures around the world but the Ojon Hair product has its own unique qualities that are worthy of a try during the brutal winter months.
Juice Beauty Cleansing Milk and Nutrient Moisturizer
For organic lovers, the typical raw feel of natural products is a bit of a turn off. But Juice Beauty is an excellent example of a product that is organic, natural, good for you and pretty. With its antioxidant raspberry juice, the soap free Juice Beauty
Cleansing Milk and Nutrient Moisturizer have ingredients like white grape and carrots that are great for you, let you feel fresh and replenished day after day.
True Beauty Lies Within.
One of FW’s favourite product lines out there- Philosophy.
They always have something fun and enjoyable to share. Currently, check out their new product True Beauty Lies Within. The Supernatural lit from within is a healthy cream blush that can be applied to the apples of our cheeks for the extra cheery look – just take a dab with your finger tips for cheek bone application- it’s very uplifting- definitely a must try for all skin types.
Rocky Mountain Soap Company
has made a great impression with our FW
staffers. My personal favourite from their extensive
line of hand creams, face creams, eye creams, etc. were the roll on perfumes. It is such a perfect piece to have in a woman’s purse. With aromatic smells like Jasmine and 100% natural ingredients, the roll on is refreshing.
Improper Copper cream colour base
Every female has one product by MAC whatever it may be but if you’re trying to choose, the Improper
Copper cream colour base is an awesome multi-purpose product that will just glide on to your skin maintaining a nice all over sheen.
Eyecon
Benefit is known for its cute packaging, over the top edge to all their products- but one of FW’s all time
favourite items is the Eyecon- what an awesome
innovation! Dark circles – goodbye! Puffy eyes and
dullness – all gone! This is a concealer that has the
power to heal and definitely has become one of our MUST have products all year round.
Gillette Venus Embrace
Gillette’s done some great packaging for their 5-blade Venus razors. The Gillette Venus Embrace provides the closest shave possible, has a great handle, excellent with curves and the Satin Care
Floral Passion or Menthol shaving gels are great to work with. Quick, easy and cut free shaving. Finish up with the In-Shower Moisturizing body wash that will leave the skin feeling smooth and soft.
Shoppers Drug Mart
is featuring three amazing products these days. Firstly the Gosh line they carry is very energetic and fun. The Jumbo Lip Gloss in Gypsy Red has come out and provides that “right off the runways” look. Secondly, the QUO line always has something unique to offer. Currently their Miraculous
Lash mascara is making big news because its unorthodox shades such as aquamarine and coffee bean. Thirdly, the Shops at Don Mills has welcomed their Murale section which is a dermatological skin care, luxury product and personalised
customer service haven. This place has it all from every possible brand out there – a must see!
Cover Girl Smokey Shadow Blast
Everyone loves a smokey eye but not everyone knows how to achieve it. Let’s face it, all of us have ended up with raccoon eyes or just not smokey enough. Well, FW staffers were anxious to try the Cover Girl Smokey Shadow Blast- a two-step easy way to get the look and no hassle – needless to say, we LOVED it!
Furthermore, the teaming up of Cover Girl and OLAY for the Simple Ageless Corrector is an awesome innovation to fix those minor flaws without feeling cakey. OLAY’s 7 in 1 Anti Aging Exfoliate and Replenisher – Total Effects is a great product to try in this dry weather as well. Finally for our more sophisticated reader, a regime that keeps you away from surgery or medication is the Olay Professional ProX Anti Aging Starter Protocol. A three step regime to keep you young, fresh and rejuvenated- try it, it works!
LemSlip Buttercream
Lush Cosmetics products are an excellent natural and organic way of taking care of your skin and using appropriate
products that are specialised. An FW
favourite these days is the LemSlip
Buttercream – looking like an actual brick or slice of butter, it just melts on to your damp skin in the shower. It’s got a citrus scent, which smells great and leaves you feeling fresh. Your skin feels much smoother
and you can feel good about using something that isn’t filled with chemicals
Pacifia Spray Perfumes
Pacifia Spray Perfumes, which can be found at Sephora, Whole Food Markets and various
retailers and spas nation-wide, is the perfect new innovation in the “au naturelle”
department. With its Middle Eastern themed packaging and eastern scents- its aroma fills the air with mystery and sensuousness as you walk by. An FW fave these days is the Mediterranean Fig transporting us to a world of culture and tradition – a great gift, a keepsake in your purse pocket or an excellent conversation piece on your dressing table – we love it!
