Another month, another list of amazing, useful, cool, or otherwise interesting finds! We’ve made it our mission to source all of these for you, saving you the trouble (and stress) of scrolling through endless product pages to find the best products. Some are new, some are just new to us — and they may not all be your speed, but one thing we can promise: we’ve done our research.
Jisulife Ultra2 Portable Handheld Fan
Victoria Kuglin/Daily Hive
It’s well and truly the Rolls-Royce of handheld cooling systems. Obviously, it offers instant cooling, which you can control from the clever scroll wheel and monitor from the LED display. But it’s all the added bells and whistles that have us raving: a hidden honeycomb inlet that prevents hair from getting sucked into the intake, a built-in adjustable flashlight, and reverse fast charging that’ll let you power up your handheld tech when you’re away from wall outlets. It’s sturdy, powerful, and worth every penny (especially during a heatwave).
Amazon Kindle ColorSoft
Amazon Canada
Like the much-beloved Paperwhite, it has a high-contrast and glare-free screen that’s easier on the eyes than other e-readers. But unlike the Paperwhite, the ColorSoft is specifically designed for (you guessed it!) colourful content. Think graphic novels, magazines, cookbooks, and comic strips. All the things you love about your older Kindle are here, too, like Dark Mode for reading at night, zero ads and notifications, extended battery life, and a waterproof design so you can read by the pool, at the beach, or in the tub.
Tkees Lily Square-Toe Leather Flip-Flops

Too hot for proper shoes? Slip into this lightweight and minimalist style. Since they’re made of leather — rather than plastic or rubber — they’ll break in after a few wears and conform to your foot over time. While the rounded-toe option is having its moment right now, we’re particularly fond of the square-toe option. The edge sits closer to your toes, preventing any potential trip-ups and scuffs. If you’re between sizes, go down to the closest full size.
Fur Flash Repair Jelly
Victoria Kuglin/Daily Hive
After a particularly disastrous wax job, I was stressed about my skin. Despite having several other products on hand to tackle post-hair removal redness, irritation, and ingrown hairs, none of them worked as quickly as this one. The formula is based on hypochlorous acid, an ingredient that’s rapidly been increasing in popularity for its skin-calming and antibacterial properties. Within a few hours, my skin was softer, smoother, and far less inflamed, with no stinging or greasiness. After about 36 hours, everything was (thankfully) back to normal, and I felt like a human again.
Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon
Amazon Canada
I cook a lot at home, so I’ve been testing pepper mills for literal decades — and not a single one comes close to this aptly-named cannon. It will blast through peppercorns like nothing I’ve ever seen before, delivering a perfect, airy pile of pepper in just a few twists. Adjusting the grind? Do it with a twist of the gear. Refilling is easy-peasy, too, thanks to a large twist-off cap and extra-deep interior canisters that hold way more peppercorns than other styles. Depending on your preferences, you may find this style a bit heavy (it IS made entirely of metal, after all), but I actually find the heft makes grinding much easier and quicker while holding up to busy kitchens better than plastic or wood alternatives.
Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss
Lancôme
In this case, OG stands for “original gloss,” thanks to massive TV hits from the early aughts like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, and the like (Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson are still big fans!). There’s a reason the obsession runs deep, and it’s not just because the 2000s are making a huge comeback — this lippie was the first to be sold in a tube, making it convenient and easy to apply yourself sans mirror in the back of the cab, at the club, or wherever else your night takes you. Reviewers love that it’s thick, long-lasting, and extra hydrating.
Kov Essentials Hair Cuffs
Holt Renfrew | @kovessentials/Instagram
Clips, claws, and scrunchies may still be having a major moment, but we’ve been particularly drawn to these sleek cuffs. Slip ’em over your braids and ponytails (or add them to your updo) to instantly elevate your look, because what’s more unexpected than some glossy bling tucked into your locks? And it seems like others agree, because these babies just keep selling out!
adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet
Aritzia
No need to choose between style and comfort, because these sleek kicks deliver both. Like real ballet slippers, they’re made of soft leather and suede that’ll mould to a perfect fit — reviewers say they fit true-to-size but also mention they stretch a bit, so keep that in mind before you hit “add to cart.”
Biossance 5% Niacinamide Brightening Eye Serum
@biossance/Instagram
If you’re looking for a solution for dark circles, this is IT. The magic of this serum doesn’t just come from its cooling lymphatic roller applicator (though I’ll admit I’ve been loving this luxe little addition to my morning routine). The formula is pretty genius, too, combining niacinamide — a skincare ingredient renowned for tackling dark spots and hyperpigmentation — with vitamin C, squalane, and caffeine to deliver hydrating, de-puffing, and brightening results.
Everywhere Belt Bag Nano
lululemon
Instead of hauling around a huge tote, tuck your essentials into this handy nano bag. It’s big enough for your earbuds, lip balm, and a credit card or two, and features both a carabiner clip and an elasticated strap, so you can attach it to your pants, wear it around your arm, or slip it over your wrist. To keep important stuff secure, there’s a small interior pocket.
First Aid Beauty Body Acne Clearing Mist
@firstaidbeauty/Instagram
Body breakouts? Not on our watch. Powered by salicylic acid, this ultra-fine mist is non-sticky, unscented, and (perhaps most important of all) completely pain-free. That means you won’t have to deal with stinging or burning! It’ll work at any angle, allowing you to spray it wherever — and whenever — you need it, including on your own back after a workout.
Vitruvi Urban Garden Natural Air Freshener Spray
Vitruvi
Instead of chemicals or other potential pollutants, this refreshing mist takes advantage of all-natural essential oils (specifically, basil and blood orange) to banish odours and leave your space smelling clean and fresh in a flash. Reviewers say it’s ideal for bathrooms and never smells overwhelming — though the fragrance does lean a bit more earthy, rather than floral.
Aritzia x Thistles The Coco
@aritzia/Instagram | Aritzia
Like it or not, 90s fashion is making a comeback, and never has it been more obvious than with this exclusive capsule collab. Marrying a classic cat-eye silhouette with softer, rounder edges, these frames are flattering on nearly every face shape — and timeless to boot. Luckily, they’re also made of a weighted, plant-based cellulose (hello, eco-friendly!), which means they’re both comfortable and sturdy.
Bioré UV Aqua Rich Glowy Moisturizer
Victoria Kuglin/Daily Hive
Multipurpose skincare products aren’t new, but this super-hydrating face cream is. In addition to boosting your glow thanks to its sheer, blendable shade, it also shields skin from sun damage, thanks to encapsulated broad-spectrum protection. Like the OG Aqua Rich moisturizer, it’s light, it’s fresh, and can be worn both solo or under your makeup without pilling or lifting.
bluboho Summer Popsicle charm
bluboho
Part of a collab with Canadian (and award-winning!) brand Happy Pops, this petite charm just screams summer. It’s made of recycled gold and dotted with mini gemstones, and though it almost looks good enough to eat, we think it would look much better on your favourite chain or charm bracelet.
Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple Cologne
Sephora Canada
The name may conjure up images of creamy scoops and sticky fingers, but there’s so much more to this summer fragrance than meets the eye. It opens with notes of ripe raspberry and tart red currants, before settling into a soft, skin-like musk and light florals that’ll score you tons of compliments — trust us.
Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm
@summerfridays/Instagram
The era of blush is far from over. Thankfully, SF has blessed us with this creamy, blendable formula that’ll help you fake the perfect flush (even if you’re not using tools or brushes). If you find powders to be a bit drying, cakey, or difficult to work with, we highly recommend dipping into this one — it has a radiant finish, buildable colour, and it’s packed with moisturizing ingredients to keep your skin in tip-top shape while you’re wearing it.
Jude Pinky Signet Ring
Mejuri
Finding a great investment piece to add to your jewellery collection can be tricky and time-consuming, which is why we are LOVING this signet style. Because it’s specially designed to fit on your least-used finger, there are fewer chances of it getting dinged, scratched, or damaged. It’s inset with a large colourful gemstone (you can choose from three).
