Watch out Sephora, Shoppers has quietly built itse Watch out Sephora, Shoppers has quietly built itself into a Canadian beauty powerhouse with a roster of buzzy-worthy prestige makeup, skincare & fragrance brands. I recently attended the Shoppers Beauty+ Event where the retailer showcased 130 brands and hundreds of new and iconic products for fall/holiday 2026. 

The Shoppers Beauty+ Event is the retailers biggest beauty event of the year with the very best PC Optimum offers. It runs through October 9th, 2026

Here is a list of six products worth checking out first at your local Shoppers Drug Mart store or online.

1 Glasshouse Fragrances
This is one of Australia’s most successful niche perfume brands. Twenty years ago, after working for Chanel, brand founder Nicole Eckels created Glasshouse in her kitchen with a selection of perfumed candles, home diffusers and eaux de parfums using the very finest ingredients she could find. Today, the brand earns $100 million in annual sales.

2 NARS Notorious Mascara
Mascara lovers will want to try NARS’ new Notorious Mascara. Formulated with 3D Film-Flex technology, this mascara contains polymers that coat lashes and lock them in place all day. Argan oil helps condition lashes over time.

3 Jean Paul Gaultier Divine Couture
What makes this fruity-amber scent special is how the raspberry notes perfectly balance the sweet meringue and benzoin. It’s soft, gentle and elegant. 

4 Clarins Double Serum Eye NEW Second Generation
This seriously good eye serum just got better. It now brightens, depuffs and fights epigenetic skin aging even better thanks to 11 potent active ingredients – 96% of natural origin. This is the new second generation formula.

5 Valentino Vendetta Donna Eau de Parfum
This floral-woody-gourmand for her features an addictive brightness of red orange nectar accord that blends with tuberose and enveloping wood. 

6 Clinique Moisture Surge Body Hydrator
This may be one of the best body lotions for Canadian winters. It’s lightweight, refreshing and absorbs into skin without any stickiness. Safe for sensitive skin.

It’s always fun to see what Italian makeup brand P It’s always fun to see what Italian makeup brand Pupa Milano has in store. For fall 2026, there are cute Forever Charm lip gloss accessories featuring pampered pooches.

Here’s a buzz-worthy beauty brand worth your atten Here’s a buzz-worthy beauty brand worth your attention. Sarah Creal is an insider beauty executive who has worked behind-the-scenes for some of the most iconic cosmetics brands: Tom Ford Beauty, Victoria Beckham Beauty, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and the original Prada Beauty. She’s decided to launch her own signature brand aimed at the 40+ market that she says is under-serviced today. She has launched a full collection of colour makeup and skincare aimed at streamlining your everyday routine with effective and multi-purpose products. What makes this brand stand out is Sarah’s experience both in labs and in stores understanding what formulas work and what doesn’t. She’s definitely one to watch. Sarah Creal Beauty #davelackiebeauty

Happy 10th Anniversary, Good Girl! Carolina Herrer Happy 10th Anniversary, Good Girl! Carolina Herrera’s iconic floral-gourmand eau de parfum for her is celebrating a milestone birthday this month. And I had the honour of hosting the launch dinner in Canada with a group of incredible followers at the Arcadian Lofts. It was such an elegant evening as the room décor mirrored Ms Herrera’s New York showroom with chrome and black accents. 

The ambery-floral scent was a hit from the moment it arrived in stores and online. That is thanks to its alluring blends of coffee, almond, jasmine sambac, tuberose, orange blossom, Bulgarian rose, orris, tonka bean, cocoa, praline, sandalwood, patchouli and cedar. This was the beginning of the global floral-gourmand trend that continues today. 

To mark the occasion, I attended a cocktail reception at the Ritz Carlton Hotel this afternoon where the brand displayed some beautiful collector edition bottles. It’s no surprise why Good Girl consistently ranks in the top three prestige fragrances in the world. Here’s to another ten years!! #davelackiebeauty #goodgirl #carolinaherrera #puigcanada
German fashion brand Hugo Boss has a massive follo German fashion brand Hugo Boss has a massive following in North America for its men’s fragrance collections. But the women’s scents haven’t received the same attention that they do in Europe where they are top sellers. That is about to chance thanks to the launch of BOSS Bottled Beyond Eau de Parfum, a peony-maple fragrance where a floral radiance meets sweet warmth. It is seriously good. Perfumers Quentin Bisch, Benoist Lapouza and Louise Turner layer notes of blooming peony, sweet maple syrup and amberwood creating a warm, amber-woody-floral scent. It has an addictive quality – you keep reaching for the bottle to smell it again and again. It just launched at Shoppers. #davelackiebeauty
British heritage brand Atkinsons 1799, now based i British heritage brand Atkinsons 1799, now based in Italy, continues to compose some of the most interesting and beautiful fragrances of any niche brand. The latest, Amber Royal, is no exception. This is a rich amber-woody scent for her or him created by perfumer Maurice Roucel who layers notes of ylang-ylang, magnolia, amber, woods, toffee, sandalwood and vetiver. It’s very unusual to feature floral ingredients in the top notes, but it clearly works here. And the toffee accord adds a hint of sweetness that balances the earthy vetiver. #davelackiebeauty
French fashion and beauty brand Paul & Joe have ju French fashion and beauty brand Paul & Joe have just unveiled a trio of silky face powders that look almost too beautiful to use. The ultra-fine powder delicately blends into the skin to create a luminous and naturally radiant complexion. Its formula combines two types of light reflecting ingredients to instantly boost radiance. This is shade 03, a harmony of pinks, beige and white. Available on the brands website.  #davelackiebeauty
One of the most anticipated fragrance launches for One of the most anticipated fragrance launches for fall 2026 is the debut scent from Italian fashion brand Max Mara under a long term licensing deal with Shiseido Corp. It’s an elegant woody-floral composition built around a pair of tuberose notes – from Grasse and Guatemala. Addictive vanilla blends nicely with the tuberose while sandalwood and cedarwood. The eau de parfum was created by perfumers Marie Salamagne and Fabrice Pellegrin. You’ll notice the bottle design is an homage to the brand’s iconic coat with its famous belt and a couture button on the cap. It’s enveloping and comforting. #davelackiebeauty
