October Beauty Products

October might be the official kick off spooky season, but there's a whole host of not-so-spooky new beauty launches this month that will get you in the fall spirit.

The eponymous makeup extraordinaire behind Sculpted By Aimee is not content on resting on the laurels of her beauty editor-favourite mascara. Aimee Connolly’s LashLift is already making a play for MyMascara’s crown with one selling every four seconds pre-launch.

The focus is on volumising with this new formula. It has been enriched with lightweight polymers that glides onto the lashes without clumping. With each swipe, the product offers that named lifting effect that makes the eye pop. It comes in ultra black and rich brown.

While it may be the slick mint green hue that drew you to Prada’s new complexion collection, it is the formulation that will make it a stalwart in your on-the-go application as the it borrows powerhouse ingredients from the hard-working heroes in your skincare rotation.

This includes an AHA, BHA and LHA - various acids that have been called upon to manage shine and blur for an even texture. The Refine Blurring Extending Primer leaves the skin silky smooth and ready to lock in the makeup that follows.

If you love a multitasking product as much as we do, you will want to add the Josh Wood Colour Miracle Hair Oil to basket. The iconic colourist behind the label has designed the formula to work in five ways at different stages in the haircare ritual.

First and foremost, you can apply it in advance of shampooing to prep the strands to lock in moisture. After washing, apply to the ends to detangle as well as combat frizz. Once your hair is dry, it acts as a finishing oil to nourish the strands, injecting some much-needed omega and fatty acid-rich kukui nut, babassu and pracaxi oils. Or lastly, you can coat your mane in it overnight for deep hydration.

Hair loss is a very common and stress-inducing concern that Typebea is attempting to tackle with a science-backed approach. The label, founded by Rita Ora and Vida Glow’s Anna Lahey, has unveiled the G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide to combat thinning without resorting to invasive treatments.

Instead, the brains behind the formula have harnessed the power of peptides and growth follicles to stimulate the scalp. It was created to work as you sleep to give your scalp the chance to truly absorb every drop of the product. At the heart is Baicapil, an ingredient you’ll find across the Typebea collection and uses a baicalin, soy, and wheat sprouts complex to fortify the individual strands.
