19 Beauty Products Our Editors Are Loving This October

"A shimmery grey-taupe eye shadow is one of my ultimate beauty must haves, and Christian Louboutin has really delivered with its beautiful Metallic Eye Colour in Andalusite (£38). Yes, it's ridiculously expensive, but how awesome will you feel whipping this out for a touch-up in the ladies' loos?" — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor

"I haven't met an Herbivore product I didn't like, and the Herbivore Rose Quartz Illuminating Body Oil (£38) is no different. It gives the prettiest glow to the skin without leaving a greasy finish. If you need an excuse to give your body a little extra TLC this Fall, consider this your perfect excuse." — Tori Crowther, assistant editor

"Beautyblender Bounce Foundation (£32) is worth it for the smart packaging alone. The foundation pumps straight onto a well and dab your Beautyblender sponge directly into the product. No foundation-stained hands here. As for the foundation itself, it gives medium coverage with a semimatte finish." — TC

"Everything from The Inkey List is £10 or under, and the focus is on active ingredients, each sold individually in plain and simple packaging. Remind you of anyone? There's nothing Ordinary (*cough*) about the brand's Glycolic Acid (£7), which is brilliant for dull skin, keratosis pilaris, and exfoliating without the scrubby bits." — GC

It's nearly Christmas. . . right? So treat yourself with the new Diptyque Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum (£115), which smells like iris, powder, and musk that lasts and changes throughout the day. Spritzing this definitely makes it easier to lure myself out of the house during the gloomy mornings. — TC

"This month, I have swapped my warm, versatile palettes for painted pigmented eyes. If you're wanting to dip your eyelids in colour, too, I highly recommend CYO Made to Mix Pigment Paint in Blue (£5.50). Though striking, the bright blue hue makes for less clown, more class." — LK

"There are few products I've been as loyal to as Nars Orgasm. I have it in every formula and format (even nail polish). So of course I'm adding the Orgasm Blush Duo (£16) to my collection. The coordinating highlighter is just as beautiful as the suits-all blush." — GC

"If you need a quick and effective pick-me-up, No 7 Skin Resurfacing Mask (£18) does just the job. It contains an AHA/PHA peel complex that leaves skin brighter, smoother, and more refined." — TC

"Do I need another eye shadow palette? Probably not, but the colours in this special Premiere Eyeshadow Palette (£17.50) from Zoeva are perfect. Say Goodbye, a duochrome taupe, and Theatrical Mise En Scene, an incredible antique gold-green, are my favourites. Plus the art-deco-inspired packaging is right up my street too." — GC

"Since I traded in my long locks for a short, sleek 'do, Kristin Ess Hair Weightless Shine Air Dry Creme (£18) is the only product I need. I work a small amount into towel-dried hair, let it air dry, and I'm all set." — LK

"If you want a little something extra from your standard bottle of Batiste, you need to try the new range that gives extra hair benefits including volume, defrizz, hydration, and damage control. My favourite is Batiste Dry Shampoo & Volume (£3)." — TC

"Forget contouring, tantouring will give you the easiest autumnal glow, and Sienna X Contour Applicator Brush (£28) makes it even easier. Use this brush with your favourite fake tan to create a semipermanent and natural contour." — TC
