October comes with a spark, always. Call it Gen Z’s month of plot twists or the season of taash, but there’s no denying its magic. Think flickering fairy lights across the city, mithai circulating like official currency, and outfits straight out of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. The air feels richer,and the hustle doubles—yet always with a glowing diya by your side. It’s also the season of gifting and, equally, of self-investment. This is the time for good fortune, and even better purchases. Consider this your ultimate guide to the best beauty buys.
