U Beauty

Founded by mega influencer Tina Chen Craig (a.k.a Bag Snob), U Beauty has quite quickly taken the industry by storm. The brand’s philosophy is centred around simplistic skincare and the proof is in the pudding – more specifically in the wizard-like Resurfacing Complex as it replaces 6-8 products in a typical skincare routine. In addition to the product being vegan, safe for all skin types, and cruelty-free it works tirelessly to help with brightening, resurfacing, renewing, and tightening. While it all sounds too good to be true, the before-and-after pics speak for themselves.
Monday Haircare
Great haircare products don’t have to cost an arm and a leg and Monday Haircare is here to prove it. The New Zealand-based brand landed in Canada earlier this year and if you haven’t treated your tresses to its shampoo & conditioner, then you need to run out RIGHT NOW to get it. Available in four different formulas: Gentle, Smooth, Volume, and Moisture, there’s something for everybody. Plus the bottles will look fabulous in your shower!
Empathy

Ever feel like some of your luxury skincare products don’t perform as well as they should? Well, there’s a new sheriff in town by the name of Empathy. This local and female-founded beauty and wellness brand is all about providing hardworking products that are cruelty-free. Empathy’s Hydrating Facial Mist is a must-have on your desk to keep you feeling refreshed during the day and the Ultra-Luxe Dry Body Oil is an amazing hydrator. If that’s not enough, for every $50 spent the brand will donate two bottles of their Harmony 3-in-1 Soap to a family who needs it.
Elemis
While I know Elemis isn’t exactly a new brand, it’s one that really should be on your radar and more importantly, your vanity. If you follow lots of beauty editors and makeup artists, you’ll quickly notice that Elemis has pride of place in their kits and it’s no surprise why. Each product is meticulously created with marine and plant-based ingredients so you get the highest quality. Wondering what product to buy first? The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm will do you proud!
Lanolips
If hydration is what you’re after, then it’s Lanolips to the rescue! Made from lanolin, a deeply moisturizing oil naturally occurring in sheep’s wool, the products are as hydrating as it gets. Everything from the lip balms, hand creams, cleanser, foot balm and day creams contain the magic ingredient that provides all-day hydration. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed when you notice how baby-soft your skin is!
