The 7 Best Beauty Buys for Fall
Ring the alarm! Beauty brands are kicking off fall with scores of new products. But we know you’re on a tight schedule, so we slathered, sprayed and swiped them all on for you. Yes, our bathrooms looked like a scene from high school science class, but for us, it’s all in a day’s work. And in the end, we were able to share the seven best products for roots, toes and almost everywhere in between, so you can look and feel your best all season long.
Saltair Multi-Lipid Body Butter in Pink Beach
Brian Henn
Raise your hand if you’re switching to body butter as the weather cools? Us too. We’re obsessed with Saltair’s debut featuring a range of moisturizing and nourishing ingredients such as coconut oil and ceramides. With its buttery feel — it’s rich but not too thick and melts into skin — and transportive scents (Pink Beach, Exotic Pulp, GOlden Hour and more), your skin will look and feel (and smell) like you’re still in vacation mode though you’re rocking a leather coat.

Wildfleur Renewing Moisturizer
Brian Henn
Retinol will always have a place on a short list of MVP skincare ingredients, especially as brands work to develop formulas that make it more gentle yet effective than ever before. The new school approach found in this fragrance-free moisturizer focuses on “microdosing” the ingredient (using an encapsulated retinol that releases into the skin over time) to lessen the chances it will sensitize skin as it accelerates cell turnover to improve the skin’s tone and texture.

TULA Skincare Protect + Go Dewy Glow Sunscreen Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50
Brian Henn
When it comes to portable sunscreen sticks, we want something that glides on seamlessly without leaving a trace of product in its wake. (What’s the point of being on-the-go if you have to pull out a mirror?) TULA’s clear, broad spectrum SPF 50 more than makes the grade with its clear, vitamin C-packed formula. Application is a breeze and skin is left dewy and protected. What more could we ask for?

Maed Revive Lip Balm in Vow
Brian Henn
Beauty entrepreneur Denise Vasi’s lip products get an A+ in our books. Her four core launches feature everything you need for gorgeous lips whether you go bare or bold. They previously included a moisturizing lip scrub, a line-filling lip serum, a clear lip balm and a red liquid lipstick with a matte finish. New to the group: two tinted versions of her moisturizing balm (this soft nude, Vow, and a plum shade called Reckon) for those who want a touch of color.

PHLUR Mrs. Smith Body Mist
Brian Henn
You’ll have a field day with PHLUR’s new Granny Smith apple-scented mist, the latest in the brand’s crazy-popular body mist collection. The playful yet sophisticated juice (it’s also got notes of pear and watermelon and violet) refreshes skin with a single spritz, and, unlike other body mists that disappear on skin quickly, this one lingers for hours. But, if you want another hit of the crisp aroma, it also comes in a travel size so you can reapply whenever, wherever.

Maelove Full Follicle Advanced Scalp Serum
Brian Henn
In recent years scalp serums have gone from rare to everywhere. With so many to choose from now it’s hard to know what’s best in class. We’re here to assure you the skincare brands’ version puts it among the top. Maelove spent two years perfecting this formula (featuring 14 different active ingredients including growth factors, peptides, vitamins and more) which, according to an independent clinical study, results in thicker hair and less shedding — among other impressive results — in as little as two months.

R+Co BLEU Essential Air Dry/Blow Dry Crème
Brian Henn
Let this formula be a lesson in the power of multi-tasking products. Luxury haircare brand R+Co BLEU’s crème can be used to style air-dried or blow-dried hair (it protects strands from up to 450-degree heat) thanks to its versatile polymers. So whether you want to enhance your natural texture and add touchable hold, or boost smoothness and shine, you can do it all with this one brilliant option.
