September is a great time to refresh and reset your beauty routine. With the promise of sunshine, this month’s beauty launches are fit for summer, from a new gloss that gives the lips an instant glow to a powerhouse SPF and a powder cleanser to overhaul sluggish skin, the latest woody, floral perfume, celebratory home fragrance and more.
Nude By Nature Pro Definition Eyeliner, in Brown, $35.
There is something so satisfying about creating a flick of eyeliner to define your lids. With this 100 per cent clean cosmetic, you get a precision-smooth application in a smudge-proof, long-lasting formula. It’s fast-drying and easy to use, and the chocolate brown wears perfectly day and night.
This new fragrance takes a woody floral musk to new heights. It’s a blend of bold, feminine white flowers, including jasmine and rose, heightened by lavender and the addictive quality of creamy mineral musk—we are picking this to be the scent of 2024.
Celebrating 20 years with a Greatest Hits Collection, we are swooning over this bamboo and white Lily fragrance in a soy melt lantern. It’s a breezy floral with watery, musky undertones—a go-to if you want that feeling of instant relaxation in your home.
Happy Birthday Ecoya.
A lip gloss like no other. A gorgeous jelly-like shine with nourishing oils including apricot kernel, rosehip, and raspberry seed oils. We love the texture and its long-lasting shine. This gloss comes in 12 great shades.
OMG, this powder cleanser is something else. Gentle enough to use every day, it’s stacked with the best ingredients: niacinamide, which helps to brighten and even your dark spots while maintaining moisture in the skin. Salicylic acid is used to exfoliate and gently reduce open pores. Winning ingredients in an easy-to-use formula.
To use: Shake a little into wet hands, then massage to create a milky paste, and then buff into the skin with circular movements. Rinse off thoroughly.
The blend of fresh coconut milk, cacao butter, and cold-pressed tropical oils, including dilo, macadamia, and Sikeci seed, is boosted with moisture-magnet hyaluronic acid. It will transform the way your skin feels overnight. And yes, you may have noticed our favourite body butter has a refreshed look with the same summer-inspired coconut scent that will transport you to the island paradise, wherever you may be.
So much more than an SPF, this triple-block sun protection packed with skincare benefits is precisely what we should all be using. It is a luxurious, hydrating SPF that works hard to become more effective when your skin is wet, sweaty, and hot. It is a shield of protection boosted by skin-loving antioxidant plant ingredients formulated with the NatureSurge Complex to protect skin beyond being out in the sun.
A new way to brighten your skin.
