To most of us, September comes as a time of transition. We might swap our wardrobe for cooler weather, cook more comfort meals than usual or take a backseat on stressful activities, but let’s not forget that your beauty kit could use some swaps too. It’s time to bring out all those beautiful fall toned makeup products, richer hydrators for your skin and more intensively nourishing products for your hair. We’re here just in time to bring you the newest and greatest launches of September to make your beauty transition easier and spruce up your monthly retail therapy. Read on for all our recommendations.
O.P.I Iconic Infinite Shine Range
The undefeated champion of nail paints, O.P.I’s new range does not disappoint. If you’re not someone who can handle salon runs, this range is perfect for that faux gel nails look. And of course, there’s a gorgeous colour for every mood and occasion.
Available here.
Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation
Bobbi Brown has hit the nail on the head yet again. Not only does their new foundation come with a giant range of shades, but the formulation is to die for. It’s got coverage, it’s got a second-skin feel to it, it’s got oil control and it’s got our full approval!

Ziji Skin Botanical Therapy – I Am Radiance Facial Oil Serum AM/PM
A new brand on our radar! This might be the most lightweight facial oil we’ve ever tried. It’s got a host of natural and organic goodness from sea buckthorn berry oil, broccoli seed oil, calendula oil and a whole lot more, so you’re sure to wake up with super nourished and plump skin the next morning!

iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion
iS Clinical is one of the most trusted names in skincare and for a good reason. This result oriented brand has launched potent retinol emulsions that come in two strength variations- 0.3 and 1.0. A definite must-try, if you want to defeat wrinkles, acne or environmental aggressors.
Available at leading dermatology clinics.
Asaya 2% Kojic Acid + 1% Alpha Arbutin Serum
Kojic acid and Alpha Arbutin are two of the most underrated ingredients to fade marks and hyperpigmentation, in my opinion. They’re gentle enough for beginners, but really work on the problem. This serum by Asaya is a clean formulation and really evens out your skin to give you a smooth canvas.

Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Wow Polish Triple Pore-Exfoliating Powder
I, fore one, absolutely adore powder formulations for cleansing and this one by Benefit Cosmetics has hit the ball out of the park. It’s gentle enough for a less-than-ideal skin barrier, but at the same time leaves your skin squeaky clean and sloughs off any dead cells and grime. It emulsifies into a creamy cleanser once mixed with water and is ideal for bi-weekly exfoliation.
