Beauty Buzz: The 3 best beauty products we tried this week from Dyson, Hermes and Bubble
We try dozens of beauty products each month. These were our testers' three favourite launches this week: They say: A new perfumed hair mist that builds on the Barénia fragrance offering. The mist delicately fragrances hair with an 'exhilarating' blend of butterfly lily, miracle berry, oakwood and patchouli. We say: When Barenia launched last year, we talked to perfumer Christine Nagel about how the fragrance was a 'contemporary' chypre creation . This hair mist offers a slightly softer take on that alluring scent. The mist delivers a veil of fragrance to strands that's not overpowering but is substantial enough to stand alone. $89 for 30 mL | Hermes , Holt Renfrew Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine.

They say: Billed as Dyson's 'most powerful and fastest drying' hair dryer yet, the Supersonic R is re-engineered for an improved air flow and a lightweight design. The Dyson Hyperdymium motor spins at up to 110,000 r.p.m. to create a 'jet of controlled air.' Ten heater foils provide even heat, while five attachments help to create and protect your hair style. We say: This 'supersonic' hair dryer cut our tester's drying time by half. Really, she timed it. Used against her go-to blow-dry brush, this powerful dryer took her hair from post-wash towel-dried to fully dry in a few minutes. The aptly named Powerful Air Attachment was her favourite tool add-on, offering targeted high-power air to dry without overheating the scalp or strands. $729.99 | They say: A colourful collection of skin care products that target specific skin care concerns. Offering a selection of products such as eye cream, a sleep mask, oil cleanser and more, the brand provides a solution for balanced, dry, oily or a combination skin. We say: We love a mix-and-match approach with our skin care lineup. It allows the for the selection of products that target personalized skin concerns. Our testers tried a variety of the Bubble offering, including the Bounce Back Balancing Mist, Cloud Surf Water Cream Moisturizer and the Water Slide Hydration Boosting Serum, and found the products delivered on the promise of instant hydration, comfort and a more plumped appearance of skin. $18.99-26.99 | Shoppers Drug Mart ,

Unpacking the power of the Dyson Supersonic R hairdryer
Last month in Hong Kong, I had a haircut at an Aveda salon in Causeway Bay. After a hair wash, the stylist began drying my hair with the Dyson Supersonic R hairdryer; so I asked him about it. He said it was 20% more powerful than the regular Supersonic, and it was lighter and more 'concentrated'. This week, I got my hands on a unit and tried it out for myself — and now I know what he means. Unboxing the Dyson Supersonic R in Ceramic pink / Rose gold. At the time of writing, in Singapore, the Supersonic R comes in two colourways — Jasper Plum and Ceramic pink / Rose gold (the latter featured throughout here). While I'm generally not a fan of the colour pink, I must say this is a very lovely shade of pink. The device is shiny at the bend, and matte at the body where it's held (and where it matters); and like the hairstylist said, lighter than the standard Dyson Supersonic. I've been testing out this device for the past week, and there are many things about the Supersonic R that I love; I do like that the control buttons are the most clever and straightforward I've ever seen — there's one button to power the device on and off, and another which controls speed and another to control heat. Just press up or down; it's that simple. No long hold presses or trying to guess the right combination of buttons to get what you what. These buttons are intuitive, and it's about time as well. Unboxing the Dyson Supersonic R in Ceramic pink / Rose gold with its various attachments. There are several attachments that come with the hairdryer, and the device won't work without one of the heads attached to it. I tried all of them and here are my thoughts: the main attachment — the 'Powerful air attachment' works best for drying hair, because it does offer the strongest air flow; the 'Pro concentrator' is great for drying hair straight and flat with the use of a hairbrush; the 'Gentle air attachment' and 'Smoothing nozzle' both gave a mild airflow so I didn't use them for long; but I did particularly like the 'Flyaway attachment', which smooths down hair and gives it a sleeker finish. All the attachments that come in the box. Perhaps the only downside to this device is that the power plug is rather large — like most Dyson hair appliances — but I assume it's necessary and for safety reasons. Apart from that, I'll now become one of those travellers that bring their hairdyer along everywhere — although I'll likely only pack in the 'Powerful air attachment' that takes up the least space and offers the most amount of power. The Dyson Supersonic R in Ceramic pink / Rose gold and its power plug. If you're considering a new hairdryer and have no qualms investing in one, spend a bit more for the Supersonic R that's Dyson's most powerful and lightest hairdryer in their lineup; safe to say, in this case, you do get what you pay for. The Dyson Supersonic R is priced at $759 and available at Dyson stores and online at
