Oribe Revitalizing Hand Wash & Nourishing Hand Creme 

They say: The luxe haircare line expands it reach in hand care with two new scent additions to its hand wash and hand cream collections. The launch sees an iconic Oribe fragrance duo, Desertland and Valley of Flowers, join the existing Cote d’Azur offering.

We say: Handwashing is a basic task that gets elevated by a nice soap. This collection offers a fresh take on hand care thanks to the three signature scents. Together with the rich hand cream, these Oribe offerings leave hands feeling clean, soft and wonderfully scented.

We say: Always on the lookout for added hydration for her hair, our tester applied a few pumps of this leave-in product on her frizz-prone strands. With a lotion-like consistency, a little went a long way. Smoothed into strands post-shower and left to air dry overnight, she reports noticing her hair felt and looked more healthy and smooth, without feeling weighed down.

Byoma De-Puff And Brighten Eye Gel

They say: A hybrid gel-serum for the eye area featuring Byoma’s Tri-Ceramide Complex, hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C to reduce puffiness and diminish the appearance of dark circles.

We say: Our tester subbed this dermatologist-tested, vegan friendly eye gel in for her go-to eye cream and was impressed with the immediate hydrating effect. One pump, tapped into the eye area with a fingertip, provided a noticeable veil of moisture. While a bit tacky on skin, she reports her eye area looked smooth and plumped.
