Hello, beauty enthusiasts! As we enter October and the vibrant hues of fall set in, I have been on a special mission. With the days getting shorter and nights cooler, we all know the importance of updating our beauty game for the fall. The goal? Find the best products that blend seamlessly with the season, allowing for that perfect touch of glam while ensuring our makeup stays flawless and our skin stays nourished and hydrated.

Throughout September, I dove into stacks of products, from shiny new releases to classic favorites claiming their stake. I swatched, applied, and wore them through long days and even a few unexpected rain showers. I wanted to make sure that whatever made The New Blaque’s list wasn’t just a fleeting trend – but genuinely effective.

Trust me, I know it can be overwhelming with the sheer number of options out there. That’s why I, along with the team at The New Blaque, curated a list of our fall beauty favorites. These aren’t just the popular picks but the ones that truly delivered on their promises. That’s what makes them TNB-approved!

So, as we step fully into fall, we’re excited to share these beauty finds with you. They’ve become our go-to, and we think they’ll be yours too. Whether you’re looking for that perfect pop of color or something to keep your skin feeling fresh, we’ve got you covered. Let’s walk into this season confidently, looking and feeling our absolute best.

Our Favorite Fall Beauty Picks

Love01 Cleansing Bar – $10.00

In late September, John Legend’s skincare brand, Loved01, added four new products to the Love01 collection. In collaboration with dermatologist Dr. Boakye, Loved01 introduces products that cater specifically to the needs of melanin-rich skin, ensuring both affordability and accessibility.

One of the standout newcomers is their gentle yet potent cleansing bar. Not only does it clean but it also imparts a softness that feels rejuvenating. As it foams, you’re treated to a soft, luxurious lather, and the experience is elevated with delicate undertones of citrus and cedar.

One of our favorite things about the Face + Body Cleansing Bar, and Loved01’s overall brand commitment to clean skincare: you won’t find sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances in this product. Which makes this the perfect cleansing bar for anyone with sensitive skin.

Sunday Riley Good Genes Latic Acid Treatment, 15 ml – $43.00

Sunday Riley’s Good Genes proves itself as a skin-revitalizing powerhouse. What’s particularly impressive is the rapid results. Not only does it brighten dark spots and discolorations, but it also manages to give fine lines and wrinkles a plumped appearance in minutes.

How does it do that? The product’s efficacy is rooted in its high-potency, purified-grade lactic acid, which works tirelessly to clear clogged pores and refine skin texture. This hero exfoliant also includes skin-brightening licorice, which aids in reducing sun-caused discolorations (which is perfect after this scorching summer) and promoting a more even-toned complexion.

In a market flooded with exfoliants, Good Genes stands out not just for its immediate results but also for its dedication to clean skincare. This vegan formula is free from sulfates, parabens, gluten, soy, phthalates, and fragrances.

Charlotte Tilbury Water Magic Cream, 15 ml – $30.00

Next up on the TNB-approved list is the new Charlotte’s Magic Water Cream. This fragrance-free gel-cream moisturizer truly lives up to its name, offering an astonishing level of hydration without leaving the skin feeling greasy. A pea-sized amount in the morning is all it takes to drench the skin in moisture, resulting in a noticeably dewy and vibrant glow.

Its texture feels as refreshing as fresh water, making it an essential addition to the morning skincare regimen for anyone with normal/oily skin seeking long-lasting hydration and radiance.

Peace Out Retinol Eye Lift Patches – $29.00

These Retinol Eye Lift Patches joined the Peace Out Skincare family early in September and have become a staple in my skincare routine since I got my hands on them. The 360-degree eye lift patches are a true game-changer for anyone preventing or battling droopy eyelids.

These biocellulose patches are more than just a quick fix; they offer a comprehensive solution that lifts, firms, and revitalizes the ENTIRE eye area. With every application, I noticed a significant reduction in fine lines and an undeniable brightness that lends a natural glow.

What’s remarkable is its hydrating properties, ensuring a plump and refreshed look. Suitable for all skin types and eye shapes, these patches deliver both instant gratification and enduring benefits. These are an absolute must-have for youthful, radiant eyes.

Neon Hippie Optimistic Eyes™ Eye Cream – $55.00

Following the TNB-approved eye patches, it’s only right I share our TNB-approved eye cream! Wave farewell to those weary, puffed-up eyes with Neon Hippie’s Optimistic Eyes cream. From the moment I first applied it, I felt the nurturing embrace of its 7 Shroom complex, complemented beautifully by cucumber, avocado, and shea butter. This isn’t just an eye cream; it’s a rejuvenation ritual in a jar.

What makes this formula stand out is the 7 Shroom complex. It’s a harmonious blend of seven skin-loving mushrooms that feels like a nutritious feast for the under-eye. This complex – in partnership with Lactobacillus Ferment – not only moisturizes and exfoliates but also plays an active role in collagen production, brightening, and tackling sun damage and fine lines. It’s clear that this cream was crafted with a keen understanding of skin’s needs, making it effective across various concerns.

Using Optimistic Eyes has been an enlightening experience – literally. Who would’ve thought that shrooms would be the answer to reversing my puffy eyes?

Stila Cosmetics Sculpt & Glow All-in-One Contouring & Highlighting Palette – $45.00

The Sculpt & Glow face palette is truly a beauty enthusiast’s dream come true. It streamlines multiple steps of a makeup routine into one sleek, travel-friendly compact. Whether you’re aiming to color, contour, sculpt, highlight, or bronze, this palette has got you covered.

A standout in this collection is the new Convertible Color shade, Dahlia. It’s a versatile hue perfect for both cheeks and lips, adding a beautiful pop of color on a wide range of skin tones. What genuinely sets this palette apart is the gel-based formula of its products. They glide onto the skin effortlessly, blending seamlessly for a look that’s both natural and radiant. The result is a softly sculpted, fresh-faced appearance that feels like your skin but better.

You have the freedom to use each shade independently or blend them for a captivating, lit-from-within glow. In essence, Sculpt & Glow is not just a makeup palette – it’s an invitation to effortlessly enhance and celebrate your natural beauty.

Kaja Beauty Juicy Glass Lip Oil – $18.00

Kaja Beauty’s Juicy Glass Lip Oils are an absolute delight on the lips! Their latest launch draws inspiration from the essence of fruits. These lip oils offer the perfect balance between hydration and aesthetics. The non-sticky formula ensures comfort, while the hydrating properties lend a plumpness that gives lips a more youthful and fuller appearance. This lip oil leaves a gorgeous glossy finish and thankfully doesn’t need to be reapplied over and over again.

Available in five sheer shades, each one captures the luminosity of high-shine glass. What’s particularly commendable is the infusion of skin-loving and fruit-derived ingredients that nourish the lips, ensuring they remain healthy underneath the gleam. The large applicator is another plus, allowing for an even and generous application in just a single sweep.

The unique fruity scent of each lip oil is like the cherry on top – making every application a sensory experience. If you’re in pursuit of that perfect juicy pout with an alluring gloss, look no further.

TRESemmé One-Step 5-in-1 Blowout Cream – $5.99

For those seeking salon-quality and/or NYFW runway-ready styling at home, TRESemmé One-Step Blowout Balm is a game-changer. This balm isn’t just a styler – it’s a conditioning primer that preps your hair to perfection. What stood out for me was its dual capability: providing long-lasting shine and smoothness while also offering protection against heat damage on ALL textures.

The application is a breeze, especially with the clear step-by-step instructions. For someone with a straighter texture, starting with a quarter-sized amount of product on towel-dried hair ensures even coverage, and the results post-blow-drying are simply stunning: bouncy, smooth hair with a natural sheen. If you’re someone like me, with a curly/coily texture, feel free to add a little more than a quarter-sized amount to wet hair and blow-dry in sections.

I also appreciate TRESemmé’s commitment to ethical beauty, as evidenced by their strict no-animal-testing policy. Overall, especially for those with fine or medium hair, this balm is a must-have. It’s a testament to TRESemmé’s reputation for delivering professional-grade hair care solutions right at home.

Squigs Gooseberry Delight Hair Oil – $34.00

It felt like there was a bit of magic in Squigs Gooseberry Delight hair oil. Application is a breeze. Simply massage it onto your scalp and comb through, ensuring your locks are thoroughly coated. If you seek the full benefits, an overnight treatment is recommended. However, for those on-the-go moments, a few hours will suffice before you wash it off.

The result? Incredibly shiny hair complemented by a soothed, happy scalp. And a bonus tip for those always on the move: a drop or two can be used as a quick styling aid to tame any unruly frizz on any texture. It’s both versatility and efficacy wrapped in a single bottle.

In the realm of natural hair care, Amla oil stands as a testament to age-old Indian beauty secrets. Not only does it promise strong, lustrous hair but it also nurtures a healthy scalp. Its non-greasy texture ensures your hair reaps all the advantages without being weighed down. Plus, for those with sensitive skin, this oil is a boon – it’s mindfully crafted to be gentle and devoid of common irritants.
