Best New Beauty Products September 2018
14 Beauty Products Our Editors Are Loving For September
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Summer has most definitely drawn to a close and and we hate to say it, but there's even faint chatter of Halloween already. But fear not, beauty fans, because there are plenty of new products to keep us happy as the cold draws in. This month, our editors are loving fun formulas, at-home kits, and we're still all about brightening skin formulas that help us clutch onto any distant memory of warmer weather while we can. From new brands you might not have heard of, to old favourites with products that are easier than ever to use, you might find one or two things to add to your beauty stash. Because after all, it's nearly a new season.
Read on to see which beauty products our editors can't put down.
No7 Match Made Custom Blend Foundation Drops
When it comes to daily foundation, I'm much more of a "slap it on with my fingers and hope for the best" girl than a "full-coverage, foundation brush and blend" addict. If you're the same, you'll absolutely love No7's new Match Made Custom Blend Foundation Drops (£16). Simply add one, two, or three drops (depending on coverage preference) to your moisturiser or primer, and you're good to go. Go to your nearest No7 counter to get an exact colour match for your perfect shade, here's hoping they extend the shade range soon. — Tori Crowther, assistant editor
It’s Skin Power 10 VC Face Cleansing Foam
My face has a hot new boyfriend and it's It's Skin Power 10 VC Face Cleansing Foam (£15). His ability to effectively cleanse the skin and wash away the day certainly brings the best out in her. — Lucy Kenny, assistant editor
Pestle and Mortar's Balance Facial Spritz
Another day, another amazing mist. My dehydrated skin is thirsty of hydrating mists but sometimes, particularly when wearing makeup, this can prove too much when my complexion is playing up. Pestle and Mortar's Balance Facial Spritz (£28) only landed on my desk a few days ago but during a bad breakout I've found it calms my skin without harsh chemicals and ingredients. — TC
& Other Stories Texture Spray
As a lover of all things & Other Stories, I was a vehicle for anticipation before its hair launch. And as imagined, & Other Stories Texture Spray (£12) gives me the easy, workable texture I could never find with other products. — LK
Barry M Gloss Me Up Lip Kit
Lip gloss is most definitely having a moment, and as it's a nostalgic trend, it makes complete sense to return to one of my teenage faves to try it! Barry M Gloss Me Up Lip Kit (£7) is affordable, fun, and delivers great results. If only it existed when I was 16! — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor
Hello Jo Bright Eyes Jelly Masks
Not only is this like the Costco of eye masks (you get 30 in the pack), but these caffeinated Hello Jo Bright Eyes Jelly Masks (£20) are supereffective at de-puffing and brightening. Stock up and your eyes will thank you. — LK
The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Cream
It's officially Pumpkin Spice season, and The Body Shop has delivered with its delicious Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Cream. This sweet and spicy confection comes in a mini size that's going to live in my handbag throughout Autumn. — GC
It's Skin Power 10 VE Shot Solution
If you're on the search for an affordable, lightweight cream that will immediately bond with your skin, the It's Skin Power 10 VE Shot Solution (£19) is it. — LK
Skyn Iceland Glacial Spray Lotion
As we head into cooler weather, if your facial mist isn't quite cutting it with hydration levels, Skyn Iceland Glacial Spray Lotion (£32) is like a mist and moisturiser all in one (but don't spray it directly onto your face, as I've learnt the unfortunate way). The lightweight formula will make it your new handbag must-have. — TC
Buxom Va-Va-Plump - Taupe It Off
I'm new to the Buxom family and so far? Big fan. The newest addition both my lips and yours are in need of is the Buxom Va-Va-Plump - Taupe It Off (£15) The formula is lasting, doesn't try, and the colour range is simply beautiful. My favourite hue? "Taupe It Off." — LK
Too Faced Throwback Metallic Lipstick
I didn't know I needed a pink glittery lipstick until I tried Too Faced Throwback Metallic Lipstick (£18). This vintage re-issue packs a serious punch, but it's surprisingly flattering and wearable. I love the bold hue, and the texture is absolutely beautiful. — GC
Red Carpet Manicure Colour Dip Mixing Kit
You've probably seen dip manicures all over Instagram, but there still aren't many places you can get them done at salons on the high street, and this often comes at a steeper cost than a regular mani. If you still want to try the technique, Red Carpet Manicure have created a Colour Dip Mixing Kit (£40) at home, not only will you be able to experiment with dip manicures at home, the colour mixing means you have access to endless shades. — TC
Urban Decay's new Aphrodisiac Eyeshadow Palette
Urban Decay's new Aphrodisiac Eyeshadow Palette (£26) is the Autumn/Winter transitional colours you didn't know you needed until now. The plum and warmer shades will have you reaching for all the pumpkin spice, but the golden tones will keep you holding onto the last bits of Summer sun. — TC
Philip Kingsley Pomegranate & Cassis Elasticizer
"Pomegranate is my favourite autumnal scent, and Philip Kinsley's Elasticizer is one of my all time favourite hair products — so I may or may not have done a little dance when I finally got my hands on this product. Not only does it smell absolutely divine, the Pomegranate & Cassis Elasticizer (£34) also gives a much needed boost of moisture to my dry and overly processed hair, leaving it nourished, unbelievably soft, and beautifully shiny. And did I mention the gorgeous smell?" — Morgane Le Caer, Assistant Editor
