The spookiest thing about October is that it means the final quarter of the year is here… so winter is around the corner. But ‘til then we plan to bask in the golden leaves before they hit the ground! To fortify ourselves thru dipping temps, and darker days, we’re grasping the following beauty finds and felt it only fair to share. The list includes an extra shot of moisture to stave off dehydration, a fragrance bursting with floral notes (minus a whiff of matronly powder),
and pops of colour for our lips and tips that will instantly revive any weary soul. Deep fall is here, LFG.

Enriched with squalane and glycerin,

this gel-like serum hits skin with a hydrating punch. Perfect for this transitional weather, one pump drenches my skin in soothing moisture without feeling sticky, making it the perfect additional layer for my AM skincare routine.

So...I’ve never really been a body lotion girlie

favouring a scoop of rich cream instead - BUT Riri has me singing a different tune! Lightweight yet incredibly nourishing, I’ve been slathering my limbs, etc., in this ultra-creamy milk that blends baobab and coconut oils, with a heap of butters, and my skin has never felt softer.

Liquid lipsticks are a dime a dozen these days,

but not all formulas deserve hype. This drugstore newbie has a mousse texture but stays put without drying out the lips, and the colour selection is particularly lovely. My fave shades include Worth It, Wine Not? and Summer Fling.

To embrace sweater weather,

and take the edge off the dread of colder days, I’m accessorizing with this genderless spritz that captures the essence of a moody bouquet you bought your own damn self. There’s notes of orange blossom, vetiver, jasmine and tuberose at work, creating a contemporary floral with complexity.

When Olaplex launches a new product,

I’m all ears. This softening leave-in adds shine, moisture and heat protection to damaged hair that could use a helping hand. It helps to seal my dire split ends and I adore the glossy finish I’m left with, even when I’ve just air-dried my mane.

Can confirm, a set of red tips will make you feel extremely chic

and elicit joy even when your world is a dumpster fire. For a DIY job that outperforms, try this incredibly punchy hue that delivers long-lasting wear with a deeply satisfying glossy finish.
