Hit Refresh: An Editor Shares 9 of Her Favourite Beauty Products For September 2022

These new additions to your beauty routine promise to leave skin scented, smooth and boasting a next-level glow. Crucially, they feel just as perfect in summer as they do on autumn days

Scents Of Happiness

Meet the trans-seasonal scent that’s guaranteed to make you stand out from the usual floral crowd. At first spritz there’s tart blackcurrant buds; then an imaginary bloom, created using orange blossom and bitter white almond, conjures up sun-drenched petals before drying down to warm amber and patchouli.

All The Buzz

Guerlain’s hero ingredient – royal jelly from Black Bees – has undergone a new fermentation process to make it even more effective at repairing collagen. A brew of resurfacing ingredients ensures complexions look brighter, too.

Eye Spy

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of convenience, long wear and peak sheen, Sisley’s six new liquid eyeshadows promise the most polished finish imaginable.

Body Talk

Chanel is taking serum below the jawline. This spray-on emulsion, made up of fine droplets charged with antioxidant red camellia, feels deliciously cool and hydrating against hot skin.

Oil’s Well

Needless to say we’ve pledged allegiance to this blend of black rose oil and shea butter to nourish ragged cuticles and prep dry mouths before lipstick. The vintage packaging deserves a special mention, too.

Make-Up On The Move

The queen of red carpet makeup has created five portable kits featuring eye, lip and cheek wands. Our favourite is Sun-Kissed Look in 5 for a glow-up you could do one-handed in a taxi.

Clean Sweep

This balm-to-oil-to-milk formula melts away stress and make-up like a dream. Take a deep breath and let the mimosa, sweet orange and juniper wrap your skin in scents of the British countryside.

Blurred Lines

When it comes to improving collagen production and lifting under-eye bags, little comes close to the power of peptides. This lightweight formula is also spiked with bakuchiol, a gentle line-smoothing alternative to retinol.

Bronze Age

Not only is this cream bronzer effortless to wear but its sheer, skin-glossing formula breathes new life into dull complexions and comes in four shades for a suits-all glow.
