Clarins’s iconic serum is now a foundation—and it’s good
Clarins is officially in its skin-tint era. The new Double Serum Foundation takes the brand’s cult skincare DNA and spins it into a glow-forward base that feels more treatment than makeup. Built on Clarins’ iconic (and best-selling) Double Serum tech, the formula blends two phases on contact, delivering hydration, radiance and smoothing benefits while serving medium, buildable coverage. The finish is luminous but not glassy, polished but never heavy—think your skin on a really good week. Bonus points for the adjustable dial, which lets you customize coverage.

YSL Beauty’s Libre Berry Crush is the juicy flanker worth spritzing this winter
Just in time for the colder months, YSL Beauty unveils the latest flanker in its Libre lineup: Berry Crush Eau de Parfum. Juicy, playful and unmistakably gourmand-leaning, the scent reimagines the original’s French lavender and Moroccan orange blossom through a vibrant raspberry accord that brings tangy brightness to the forefront. From there, creamy coconut and a bespoke Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar melt in, adding warmth and indulgence. The result? A sweeter, sexier take on Libre that feels tailor-made for winter nights.

Rouge Noir is back, and it’s running the entire face
Chanel just re-released (and elevated) its cult-classic Rouge Noir nail polish shade (first launched in 1994) into a full-on beauty moment for the new year. The limited-edition Rouge Noir Confidence palette mixes magentas, fiery reds and soft pinks to blur the lines between eyes, cheeks and face—with packaging dipped in the signature hue. From the Noir Allure mascara (our favourite from the collection) to the Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick and lacquered Le Vernis, it’s all about playing with contrast and rewriting the rules of red. Think heritage attitude with a modern, rebellious twist. [cta affiliate=”cj” align=”center” format=”button” url=”https://www.chanel.com/ca-en/makeup/rouge-noir/”]Shop Now[/cta]
Harris Reed just gave Nina Ricci its most extra fragrance yet
In 2022, Harris Reed stepped into a new role as creative director of Nina Ricci. Fast forward to 2026, Reed’s first brand-new fragrance is here, and it’s a cinematic ode to self-love and being unapologetically extra. Vénus de Nina Ricci centres on magnolia, a statement flower rarely cast as the lead, amplified with creamy vanilla and white patchouli. The result is a chypre-floral moment that feels molten, mystical and quietly dangerous. Encased in an amber Art Deco bottle crowned with brushed-gold shells, the scent doubles as vanity candy.
