Is it just us, or did September fly by a lot faster than usual? Saying goodbye to the last few days of summer always sucks, but there is a bright spot. Besides getting to bring out our best bomber jackets and boots, there's all the new fall beauty collections to look forward to trying.

To celebrate all the newness in stores now — and, let's be honest, soften the blow of shorter days and colder weather — the R29 beauty team has rounded up our absolute favorite products that we tried over the past month. From lipsticks to exfoliating masks, we're sharing the newest buys we fell in love with this past month, ahead.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
