Facial massage tools
Over the past couple years, facial massage tools have become more popular than ever! One of the most popular tools is the massage roller, designed to stimulate circulation and promote skin elasticity, while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles. It’s ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive, and it’s really simple to use: just roll it over your face for 5 to 10 minutes, mornings and evenings, after you apply your moisturizer. Try keeping it in the fridge between uses because the cold itself also stimulates better circulation.

Colourful eyeliners
One hot trend these days is the addition of bright colours to your eyelids to express your personal style. Just pick a colour and draw a line along your lash line for a fresh, bold look. While you’re at it, why not try a little glitter or a metallic shade! Get your creativity on, girl!

Reusable makeup-remover towelettes
Say bye-bye to absorbent cotton balls or wasteful cloths when it comes time to remove your makeup. Today’s trends are all about economical, local and eco-friendly cleaning solutions that remove your makeup naturally without damaging your skin—all while reducing the amount of waste you generate.
6
The brush-dryer
A TikTok favourite, the brush-dryer, also known as a blower brush, has become a super popular hair-styling tool over the past few years. This easy-to-use, 3-in-1 styling tool dries your hair, while styling it and adding volume. Plus, you can use it on damp or dry hair for salon-quality styling right in the comfort of home!

Red, glossy lips
Like a true classic, red lips will still be in this spring. And no wonder: it's a timeless, versatile colour that’s right for any season, no matter what the finish, matte or satin. You can even add a layer of gloss for a bolder, more brilliant effect.

Intense blushes
Like illuminators, blushes are another must-have product that comes in powder, cream and liquid formulas. But this year, intense blushes that were popular in the 80s are enjoying a real comeback. The intense-blush technique involves applying blush to non-traditional areas of your face, like your temples and eyes to add intensity and give you a tanned, outdoor look, that’s perfect for late spring and summer.

Metallic eyeshadows
Bronze, gold and silver are in the spotlight this year for both eyeliners and eyeshadows. Why not try something shimmery or glossy for your eyes. Or be bold and mix different shades for even more variety.
