An endless supply of endorphins is likely the secret to Jenn’s glow, but this facial oil (the MVP in her skin care lineup) comes in at a close second place. A blend of camellia and tamanu oils, chia seed, rice bran, and sunflower make this blend a heavy-hitter in terms of antioxidant protection and deeply penetrating nourishment. And yet the lightweight blend sinks into skin quickly with no oil slick feel. We appreciate its versatile quality, too. You can use it directly on clean, dry skin, or mix a few drops into your moisturizer or foundation for enhanced hydration. You can even unleash its dewy, highlighting power by applying a small dab across the tops of cheekbones.

The right concealer is like practice: it too can make things perfect. Use a high-coverage, radiant formula to spot-treat discolouration around the eyes, nose and chin, blending out to create a seamless finish on skin. This newish-to-Canada waterproof formula, available in 17 shades, performs on par with luxe labels minus the hefty price.
TIP: Both Emily & Ingrie prefer a hands-on approach to concealer and use a ring finger and gentle tapping motion to apply where needed.

Just like Jenn, we also live for a regular mani update. Isn’t it funny how a fresh coat on those ten lil’ digits can really make you feel like a woman who runs things? If/when a date at your local nail bar isn't in the cards, an upgrade awaits on the DIY route. This new collection from Essie is designed with a carefully angled brush to make applying with either hand way easier… and the nail polish dries in approx. 60 seconds. YUP! Just give the vegan, 8-free formula a little more than a minute and it’s ready, set, go! Inspired by Lau’s preference for keeping things light, this pretty pastel is our top pick from the twenty solid hues in the debut collection.
