JACQUELINE’S PICKS
”A beautiful glowy skin- illuminating primer. On most days I just wear this product without foundation and it makes my skin look beautiful, glowy and healthy.”
GRAYDON Face Glow, $46, at Graydonskincare.com.
”This is a makeup product I can’t live without. I use this on myself every single day and it is a staple in my makeup kit. It builds a subtle natural brow with very little effort. I find it’s quite foolproof for those who don’t use makeup often.”
ELATE Brow Balm, $28, at select spas and boutiques, Well.ca and Elatecosmetics.ca.
”This is probably my favourite oil blend of all time. It is rich, earthy and keeps my skin clear and glowing. If I could only use one beauty product for the rest of my life, it would be LOA oil.”
LOA SKIN Botanical Beauty Elixir, $59, at Loaskin.com and select boutiques across Canada.
AMANDA’S PICKS
”I love hydration. What I love about this product is the toner and HA in one bottle—super simple and extremely hydrating.”
WOODLOT Nourishing Facial Toner, $28, at select boutiques across Canada and Shopwoodlot.com.
”This serum is amazing for any skin type; the oils are healing, calming, [and] the squalene is hydrating. Smells amazing. I use it year-round.”
