This week, we’re putting Spring 2025 trends to the test, with our 100% honest reviews on the buzzy beauty launches that have just landed on store shelves. Find out what Carlene *really* thinks about Versed’s first foray into makeup, while Jill reveals the skincare products that have passed her oily skin’s #DamnGood test.

Plus, you’ll hear about:

• The bargain-basement hair treatment that made our #damngood approved list, along with that of trichologist-influencer Abbey Yung
• The icon-in-making concealer that will not budge in sweat, humidity or sports matches
• A dermatologist-created, pout-perfecting hydrating duo, based on her own viral Tiktok video
• The bronzers giving us the ultimate glow this spring, whether you’re a luxury lover, a Sephora stan or buying only Canadian this season
• A new online tool to help users find made-in-Canada beauty products, Northfinder By The Canadian Beauty Club and this indie shopping site that promos Canadian brands (See Jill’s TikTok post all about her fave Canadian beauty brands here)
