I'm a Beauty Editor, and These Are All the Products I'm Eyeing Up for Autumn

As a junior beauty editor, I am always hearing about the latest beauty launches and the most popular products on the market. I love finding out what skincare, makeup and hair care people are loving, and not just because it’s my job. That being said, as much as I enjoy it, being surrounded by beauty products all of the time often means that I’m left wanting to try out all of them for myself.

This is especially true at the start of a new season. When spring comes along, I love a good skincare refresh, and I am always switching up my makeup routine for summer. However, with autumn just around the corner, lots of my favourite brands have already started releasing exciting new beauty bits, and some of my go-to products for the colder months are in need of a serious restock.

Those of you who know me will know that autumn is my favourite time for getting cosy and indulging in some self-care. Lately I’ve been neglecting my beauty routine as summer is always such a busy time, but this September I plan on staying in and giving myself a much-needed pamper.

If you’re the same, then you might want to keep on scrolling, as I’ve rounded up all of the products that I’ve got my eyes on this autumn. This is more of a wishlist than a shopping list, as I definitely won’t be buying all of these, but if I do end up treating myself to one or two bits, this is what I will be adding to my basket. Enjoy…

First up is an absolute classic. I can never have enough candles in autumn, and I always like to have this Maison Margiela one burning. The scent is called ‘By The Fireplace’ and it will give you all of the cosy vibes thanks to notes of chestnut, clove and cashmere.

When it gets a little bit colder, I like to invest in good quality bedding, and this silk pillowcase will make going to sleep so much more luxurious. Not only is it the most comfortable pillowcase ever, but I swear by the silk material for keeping my hair smooth and my skin soft.

Price shown is members’ price.  I never take baths in summer, but in autumn, I can’t get enough of them. I plan on treating myself to this Beauty Pie bath oil, which includes a range of essential oils from lavender to chamomile to help you feel relaxed and restful.

Did you know that Prada has just launched a beauty range? I am lusting over pretty much everything, but this bold, red lipstick is first on my list.

I have been seeing these high-tech skincare devices everywhere at the moment, and I just know that they will take my self-care nights to the next level. This clever tool from Ziip works to tone your skin and stimulate collagen, and after watching some video reviews, it looks really fun to use.

Another new launch that I’ve got my eye on for autumn is the Summer Fridays Rich Cushion Cream. I love all the skincare products from this brand, and this new moisturiser is meant to support your skin’s natural barrier, which is ideal as we move into the new season. 

This just screams autumn. Perfume bottles don’t get much chicer than this, and this Byredo scent contains notes of plum, praline, blackberry and leather. I just want to wrap myself up in a cosy jumper and spritz this everywhere.

I’ve recently moved house, and if there’s one thing I’m in the market for at the moment, it’s a new diffuser. This one from Nest will transport you to an autumnal outdoor getaway, with refreshing notes of earthy moss and vetiver.

I have been seeing seaweed beauty products everywhere lately thanks to the marine plant’s hydrating properties, and it’s safe to say that I’m intrigued. So, when I saw that Bumble and Bumble did a seaweed leave-in conditioner, I wanted to give it a go straight away. My hair always gets a little bit drier whenever the temperature drops, so this moisturising styling cream is a must-have.

It’s just not my hair that gets dry, but my skin too. I like to wear a hydrating, light base all year round, but I really want to give the Hourglass Skin Tint a go for autumn. Not only is the packaging beautiful, but the formula is meant to leave your complexion glowing.

Whenever a new season starts, I like to clear out and take stock of any new bits I might need. At the moment, I’m in desperate need of a new makeup bag, and this new one from the Charlotte Tilbury and Disney collab is calling my name.

Another thing I want to treat myself to for my new home is a fancy hand soap. The fresh, tomato leaves scent is perfect for the bathroom, and the Loewe packaging speaks for itself.

This body cream is one of my favourites for lathering on before bed, and I will definitely be restocking for autumn.

Once I lose my summer glow, I will be faking it with this Chanel bronzer. The cream formula is so easy to blend and looks super natural on the skin. So much so, that people will be asking you where you’ve just been on holiday.

I never leave the house without a hand cream, especially in autumn. This Laura Mercier one comes in the most delicious, warming scent of amber, vanilla, brown sugar and sandalwood. Yum.
