I’ve been a beauty-product junkie for years. But I haven’t thought much about seasonal beauty products — outside of lipstick and nail polish colors — until recent years.
The fall season is one of my favorites when it comes to seasonal products. The colors and scents are warm, but there’s still fun involved with all the plays on Halloween and pumpkin spice.
I’ve already ordered a few items for myself and figured you might want to start building your fall haul, too!
So, here are some fall beauty products you might love:
eyeshadow sticks | various brands
Generally speaking, this is not a new item, but more brands are offering them this season. While IT Cosmetics has been building a following with their No-Tug Longwear Eyeshadow Stick, Milani just dropped its version.
I like NYX’s Jumbo Eye Pencils — I love it when trendy items are available in a good, affordable option so you can try them without investing much. But if you’re ready for the high-end option, Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eyeshadow is a popular one.
Regardless of the brand you choose, eyeshadow sticks are a versatile item. I love traveling with them because you can use them as an eyeliner, to smoke out the lashline (top, bottom, or both!), cover the entire lid, or — depending on the color — use them for inner-corner highlight or waterline brightening (per Alix Earle).
Purifying 2-in-1 Pumpkin Pore Detox | Urban Skin RX
I got this when I was working retail, and so far, it’s the only product from Urban Skin RX I’ve tried (but it won’t be the last).
I love multi-use products, and this one warms itself! I keep mine by the tub because I love putting it on my face while I’m soaking, letting it warm up and sit on my skin, and then massaging it as I rinse it off. It’s a 2-n-1 product, but creates a nice spa moment.
This has salicylic acid to help keep pores clear, but it also has willow bark which calms the skin. And, of course, the pumpkin of it all! The good news is, this item is available all year ’round!
Seasonal press-on nails | Various brands
‘Tis the season for dark nails! Kiss Impress Manicure, OPI xPRESS, and Glamnetic all got the memo and came with lots of cute options this season.
Some personal favorites include: Kiss ImPRESS Color in “All Black,” OPI xPRESS in “Lincoln Park After Dark” and “Malaga Wine,” Glamnetic “Berry Buzz,” and various seasonal picks from ImPRESS.
I’ve been wearing press-ons for years and love them! If you’re new to press-ons, follow the package directions, and I recommend putting them on before bed so they have hours to set.
Fall-scented body scrubs | tree hut
The Tree Hut body scrubs are my favorite body scrubs (total bonus that they’re affordable), and they come CORRECT on seasonal scents. For fall, there’s apple macchiato, iced coffee, and pumpkin spice latte.
I got the pumpkin spice latte last year, and the iced coffee this year — I’m never disappointed!
Nourishing Lippies | Various Brands
While lip oils, balms, and masks have been gaining in popularity these last few years, they’re REALLY having a moment for fall. Not only are these products giving a glossy lip (and possibly a tint) but they’re also packed with good ingredients that nourish.
The INNBEAUTY PROJECT released new lip oils — Cinnamon bun and vanilla mint — but also has classic favorites: Candy apple and merlot. These lip oils exfoliate, nourish, and plump the lips with clean, plat-based ingredients.
Laneige launched its fall flavor of Lip Sleeping Mask: caramel apple, while Farmacy has its Apple Lip Smoothie!
Neutral Matte Eyeshadow | Various Brands
I saw Patrick Ta launched his Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette, and he wasn’t the only one with eyes on neutral mattes this season. Danessa Myricks Beauty released its Groundwork: Defining Neutrals Palette.
The Kosas Undressed Talc-Free Neutral Eyeshadow Palette has one metallic shade (out of eight), if you need a hint of shimmer!
Lush Bath Bombs | Seasonal
Lush remains to be the best place to get bath bombs. They’re clean, cruelty free, eco-friendly, and well, they smell amazing, and usually have some kind of fun surprise waiting for us.
Luckily, they’ve released all sorts of fun bath bombs for fall and Halloween. I’d recommend browsing all of them to see what suits you. I’m particularly interested in Lord of Misrule (bath bomb, bubble bar), Bonehead (bubble bar), and Bat Art (bath bomb).
And there you have it, my round-up of fall beauty products! Are you using anything special this season?
