Welcome to Stuff We Want, our roundup of the best new beauty products we tried each month. From undisputed favorites to brand-new releases, these are the things our editors loved throughout the month of September.
September is sort of like a second New Year. After the last blissfully slow days of summer, we’re ready to return to our routines in full form—which justifies a whole new beauty haul.
Among our September faves, you’ll find everything you need to master the transitional look, from glowing foundation to warm and toasty blush. Now that it’s officially fall, we’re also leaning into true seasonal staples. It really is the little luxuries, like a spiced hand soap or a great brown lipstick, that make the new season worth celebrating.
While we love our fall trends, certain beauty hallmarks—like skin care you look forward to applying and easy blowouts that fit into your morning routine—are always in season. What else rose to the top of our editors’ cosmetic bags in September? A rich cleanser, a hydrating lip balm, and a blowout brush for endless good-hair days.
While we’re still soaking up the early-fall sun, the cool breeze of autumn will be here before we know it, which means it’s the perfect time to stock up on these transitional favorites. Scroll on to shop the best new beauty products in September, and get ready to add to cart.
