The Best New Beauty Products To Try This October

The world of beauty is a mighty machine forever churning out new and improved products. We could while away hours on foundations, eyeshadows and lipsticks before we even touch on skincare or hair care. Finding the right beauty products that suit your skin tone and make you glow is a hard-worn path of trial and error, however, there's so much joy to be had in finding something new that does wonders for you. 

We've rounded up some exciting new, luxurious beauty products worth splurging on. If you've got big plans post-lockdown, be sure to read our guide on the best palettes and waterproof mascara so you're prepared!

This new, limited edition pot of the iconic Becca under eye brightening cream celebrates the brand's partnership Mental Health Mates as they actively support those suffering from mental health illness. It still sports the same loved formula, a rich, pink-hued cream that covers dark circles without caking them.

We previously recommended the Olaplex treatments in our summer hair care guide and this new bonding oil goes hand-in-hand. To maintain healthy locks, this lightweight oil adds moisture to dry hair and helps smooth raised cuticles. Follow with the No.3 Hair Perfector for the best results.

If you've got oily skin or you're prone to outbreaks, an oil-free moisturiser can often go a long way in minimising each. The new Murad Water Gel is a great alternative, lightweight and fast-absorbing, it doesn't leave a greasy residue and it has a light, almost indistinguishable scent.

For a fresh new scent this month, the Cartier La Panthère is the perfect female fragrance. Offering a harmonious blend of stone fruit and musk, it's warming and not at all overpowering, perfect for this time of year. 

£125 from Harrods

For a curling wand with extra oomph, the Turbo Tong promises both big bouncy curls and enviable soft waves thanks to the length of the tong - which incidentally also helps curl those hard-to-reach areas at the back of your head.

Mono eyeshadow looks are making a big comeback and the more sparkle the better. This foil trio from Kevyn Aucoin will amp up any eye look with a hint of subtle sparkle that will last the day, or sweep across your whole lid for full impact.

$32 from Kevyn Aucoin

A miracle treatment for both men and women, this serum has been developed by scientists, dermatologists and beauty experts to prevent hair loss and tackle thinning - and 75% of users agree that it works. Pumpkin seed extract and castor oil stimulate the scalp and block enzymes that cause hair loss, while exfoliating retinol and lactic acid work to improve cell turnover.
