Lash Idôle Mascara, Lancôme

Fanned out, lengthened and lifted lashes: That’s the promise of this well-thought-out mascara, which combines a curved brush that’s designed to perfectly fit the shape of the lashes with a formula that’s infused with white-tea extract. “What’s not to love? This is by far one of my top three favourite mascaras of all time. The brush catches every single lash, providing amazing separation, volume and a bulletproof effect. This is my new mascara idol!”– Carin Hellman, ELLE Sweden

Price: $35

Rouge Coco Bloom, CHANEL 

This combines the intense colour of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss and the moisturizing power of a balm in perfect harmony. The patented formula, infused with oil micro-droplets, keeps your lips vibrant for eight hours. “This lipstick is a dream—it has lip-balm benefits as well as a vibrant-colour payoff that makes wearing a bright shade like berry, hot pink or fierce red all day totally effortless. Each lip colour has a hint of sophisticated shine that makes lips look juicy, conditioned and completely mesmerizing.” – Margaux Anbouba, ELLE US

Price: $52

The Cream, Augustinus Bader

There’s a reason this cream has won the hearts of an impressive number of beauty editors and celebrities the world over: Its patented technology, based on amino acids, vitamins and synthesized molecules and developed by professor Augustinus Bader, promises to promote cellular renewal as well as nourish and protect the skin. “I can’t live without this! The formula is light and smooth, it evens out my skin tone and gives it a healthy glow and my skin stays hydrated all day. Plus, you can easily apply makeup over it. My skin has never looked better.” – Carolina Alvarez, ELLE Mexico

Price: $220

Abeille Royale Advanced Youth Watery Oil, Guerlain 

Even more powerful than the first iteration, this new generation of Guerlain’s signature facial oil combines the power of four different honeys and royal jelly to deeply repair and plump the skin. “I add two to three drops of this oil to my daily serum to make a super-serum. I like the scent, which is invigorating when I use the product in the morning and soothing when I use it in the evening.”– Petra Windschnurer, ELLE Slovenia

Price: $132

Glowscreen SPF 40 PA+++, Supergoop!

This super-light, slightly tinted pearlescent formula goes on like a charm—whether worn solo or under makeup—creating a luminous complexion and protecting skin from UV rays and blue light. “I’m ashamed to say it, but until recently, I wasn’t the most diligent about sun protection. This product has changed everything. Its texture is super thin, so you don’t feel it at all after application, and it doesn’t ‘pill’ when you apply your makeup. It also gives your complexion a nice glow, which is great when you wear it on its own.”— Théo Dupuis-Carbonneau, ELLE Québec and ELLE Canada

Price: $48

Tonic Body Balm, Clarins

This toning cream is as enchanting for the senses (thanks to aromatic essences of geranium, rosewood, mint and rosemary) as it is stimulating for the skin (thanks to ginseng and apple-seed oil). Use it after a bath or shower for an instant at-home spa. “When it comes to body care, I always believe in Clarins. This balm smells and feels divine. I love that my whole bathroom is fully scented after a shower.”– Younji Jung, ELLE South Korea

Price: $48

Impossible Mascara, Kjaer Weis

We love the winning duo that is this incredible mascara, which combines a dual-sided recycled-nylon brush (a curved side for adding volume and dimension and a flat side for lengthening and defining) with a nourishing formula made with carnauba wax, beeswax, marula oil and raspberry water. “Unfortunately, most clean-mascara formulas on the market do not deliver on volume, length and hold. Instead, they tend to flake and smudge. Not this one! It gives lifted, full, separated lashes that last until evening. The refillable packaging is also a huge benefit.”– Barbara Huber, ELLE Germany

Price: $43

Skin Food Body Butter, Weleda 

Although extremely rich in nourishing ingredients like cocoa and shea butters, this formula melts into the skin upon application, leaving it silky and hydrated for hours. A must-have to get through the Canadian winter. “I’ve tried almost every product in this line by Weleda, and this is the jackpot item. It absorbs into your skin in just a couple of minutes, leaving it feeling truly moisturized, not sticky. Love!” – Dariya Nogayeva-Alishkevich, ELLE Kazakhstan

Price: $25

Curl Manifesto Bain Hydration Douceur Shampoo, Kérastase

Curly hair’s new best friend, this shampoo is enriched with ceramides and manuka honey and eliminates oil and residues while enhancing curls. “I am a curly girl who loves her hair straight, and this shampoo—and the whole line—made me love my waves beyond just beach time. It gives me defined, shiny, flexible curls.” – Marianna Partevyan, ELLE Ukraine

Price: $46

Dry Texturizing Spray, Oribe

Adopted (and loved!) by industry pros and celebrities alike, this texturizing two-in-one spray absorbs oil at the roots and gives hair maximum volume, all without the cardboard effect. What’s more, it has Oribe’s signature fragrance. “Magic in a bottle. This spray doesn’t feel like anything on the hair, but it helps to fluff it up and primes it for the next steps of hairstyling. On lazy days, a quick spritz can help shape the face-framing pieces of hair.” – Chelsea Tang, ELLE Singapore

Price: $60

Eden-Roc Eau de Parfum Spray, Christian Dior Fragrances

With this liquid sunshine, François Demachy, former perfumer at Dior, wanted to pay tribute to the emblematic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera. He succeeded: The notes of white flowers unfold on a mineral canvas and evoke the caress of the sun on the skin just after a swim in the sea. “This amber fragrance reminds me of swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. The tangy, salty top note smells like the perfect afternoon breeze.” – Younie Tsang, ELLE Hong Kong

Price: $330 for 125mL
