I recently tested some new products that are being launched for Fall, and while I was excited to try them all, some clear favourites have emerged. Here are 10 hot new beauty products that will bring instant updates to your routine, available at retailers around Vancouver:

Skin:

Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation (pictured): This hotly anticipated new product is imminently arriving at London Drugs nationwide, but having used it for the past few weeks, I can attest to the delightfully smooth, all-day coverage the mousse-like foundation provides. There is a wide range of skin shades to choose from and it evens out skin tone for a flawless finish, even in the remaining heat of the summer. $18.95 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm: Neck-in-neck with the Revlon foundation for new favourite is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. Having never used one before, I was intrigued by the cult-like following BB creams boast in many Asian countries. This one has an SPF of 30 and comes out of the tube tinted, to be blended onto your skin with your fingertips. Give it a few minutes to settle before applying blush. Why youll love it: the non-greasy, barely-there formula evens out skin tone and blurs imperfections, while giving the skin a noticeable luminous quality. Ive never gotten so many compliments on my skin. $10.99 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

NYX Roll On Shimmer: NYX Professional Makeup was developed by Toni Ko to provide quality cosmetics at affordable prices. The Roll On Shimmer for eyes, face and body glides on smoothly and precisely for a subtle, colour-tinted shine. $5 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

Clarins Odyssey Face Palette: I know its early, but how gorgeous is this Clarins Greek goddess-inspired, Christmas limited-edition Odyssey Face Palette? A beautifully engraved medallion of shiny and matte gold sits atop a compact which begs to be opened. Inside, a silky, lightweight powder, adapted to all skin tones, helps to even and enhance the skins beauty while illuminating the face and décolleté. Collectors makeup at the top of its game. Coming for November to all Clarins retailers. $42

Lips:

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain: A moisturizing lip tint that actually provides a pop of colour has been hard to come by. Enter the Kissable collection available in 12 long-wearing shades, from peaches to reds and pinks, in a chubby crayon-shaped tube. $9.49 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

FreezeFrame Lip Injection: Packaged in a clever syringe-shaped applicator, this needle-free lip treatment promises to plump lips and smooth lip wrinkles instantly. A thin coat of the cinnamon-smelling product goes on smoothly and results in an instant tingling sensation within the lips. The result is fuller-looking lips, with the bonus of being clinically proven to increase lip volume with time. $89 at London Drugs.

Eyes:

Marcelle Duo Eyebrow Pro: Blush, mascara and well-groomed eyebrows are all a girl needs to look her most put-together on the fly, but threading, waxing, plucking and combing dont always result in perfect brows on their own. An essential part of an effortless look is filling in the brows with an eyebrow pencil or shadow. The Marcelle brow pencil with tinted blending wand is an easy-to-use tool to define your eyebrows. $14.95 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

NARS Eyeliner Stylo: Long-lasting, precise eyeliner in one even stroke. The highly pigmented colours in four new shades (black, brown, navy and grey) glide on smoothly and effortlessly for intense payoff that dries quickly and stays put for over 24 hours. The super-fine tip delivers the perfect amount of liquid for controlled application and versatility in line width, and a variety of looks. $32 at all NARS retailers. NARScosmetics.com

Nails:

Revlon Nail Art Neon: Neon and two-tone nails are sticking around as a Fall beauty trend. Get the look in only two steps with the limited-edition Neon Nail Art duo, a white base coat and bold neon colour in one. $8.95 at London Drugs and other beauty retailers.

Hair:

Black 15in1: First came the celebrity-favourite Black 15in1 Miracle Hair Treatment ($24). Then the Miracle Twice A Week Shampoo ($24) and Conditioner ($26), which, when used as a trio on my colour-treated blonde hair, is like a hair cut in a bottle. The paraben- and sulfate-free formula relies on nourishing ingredients such as sunflower seed and green tea leaf extracts to revitalize your scalp and hair follicles, promising 15 distinct results. Once youre hooked, you can pick up a CATSA-approved travel kit, now available in Vancouver salons such as Workshop, Flaunt, Levista and Maude for $30. Black15in1.com
