The marie claire beauty team loves beauty 365 days a year, but there are only a handful of products that make our hit list every month.
Whether we’re eyeing them up for friends and family, or adding them to wish lists and carts for ourselves, the beauty products that made the cut in October that are worth getting excited about.
From unexpected nutty floral fragrances, to indulgent body rituals, and a return to bold eye makeup, this is what we’re spritzing, swatching and slathering on over the next four weeks.
The Best New Beauty Products In October, According To marie claire:
Marc Jacobs Beauty Born Star Cream To Powder Eyeshadow
The drawback of bright eyeshadow – messy fallout – isn’t a concern with these fuss-free, star-shaped shadows. Here, the magic lies in the buttery, bouncy texture. It glides on as a blendable cream before melting into a soft-powder finish.
Maison Margiela Chasing Sunsets
Crafted as a homage to a golden Brazilian sunset, this scent opens with juicy mango for a pop of sun-drenched sweetness before revealing its heart of tuberose and sandalwood.
Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Scrub
Reclaim the radiance winter stole with a sloughing body scrub. Naturium’s The Glow Getter pairs sugar crystals with a slew of nourishing botanical oils, squalane and glycerin to refresh skin in the shower. Simply towel off to reveal a hydrated, healthy-looking glow.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Blush Stylus
Only Victoria Beckham could dream up a blush applicator so skinny. Ideal for the colour averse, this stylus format allows for precise application every time.
Fara Homidi Beauty Essential Blonzer Compact
Fake a sun-kissed flush with Fara Homidi’s bronzer and blush hybrid formula. Available in three burnished shades, it’s the quickest way to emulate a Euro summer tan after spending most of our winter indoors.
Dries Van Noten Velvet Violet Eau De Parfum
An exploration of duality, Velvet Violet pairs the freshness of violet leaves with the toasty nuttiness of roasted sesame, revealing a nuance and dimension that evolves on the skin throughout the day.
Aesop Antithesis Intense Body Cleanser
A smoky and woody paradox, Aesop’s Antithesis Intense is warm but cool, marrying black peppercorns and coriander seed essential oils in an enlivening gentle lather.
Gucci Flora Eye Palette in Sunset Orchid
The beautiful packaging alone makes this palette covetable. The edit of silky-smooth Gucci shadows features a range of practical shades, from matte cocoa to metallic khaki and shimmering gold.
Dior Vernis Nail Polish in Ruban
Shimmering pink feels fresh for the season ahead. Embrace the colour’s comeback with a coat of Dior’s pearlescent pastel polish, peppered with just enough sparkle to stand out in a sea of blush manicures.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Acai Mango Smoothie
Laneige takes inspiration from a morning smoothie for this novel Sleeping Mask infused with acai and mango. Hydrate, soften and smooth lips, cuticles and elbows as you snooze.
Sisley L’Orchidee Blush in Bronze
Add definition, sheen and colour to your complexion with this clever compact. Occupying the beauty bag real estate of a single product, it delivers the impact of three: a matte bronzer, iridescent highlighter and satin-finish blush in one sleek design.
Elizabeth Arden Eternal Aura Eau de Parfum
Strong, graceful and confident, Elizabeth Arden’s Eternal Aura pays homage to timeless femininity. Zesty pink pepper, magnolia blooms and sensual amber make up this magnetic floral amber bouquet.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Kiss Theory Lip Balm in Twirl
Not all long-wearing lipstick feels uncomfortable. Anastasia Beverly Hills draws on the comfort of lip balm formulas and the sheer, natural colour of gloss with its Kiss Theory Lip Balm. The result? An easy-to-wear, cushiony, non-sticky lip colour.
Synergie Skin EyeDration Biomask
These refreshing eye masks cling comfortably to the skin, allowing their active-packed hydration to reach where it’s needed most while you get on with your morning. Designed to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, they are the ideal early AM skin step.
Guerlain L’Heure Bleue
Rather than sharp transitions, Guerlain L’Heure Bleue’s notes melt together in gradients, like the blue hour itself. Here, an airy ozonic accord creates the cool feeling of evening setting in. Then, it softens into powdery iris and orange blossom, before vanilla and skin-like ambroxan bring warmth. The bottle captures the shifting colour of twilight, too, with Guerlain’s signature inverted heart design fading from dreamy to deep blue and finished with gilded details.
