The month of August sees the arrival of new beauty launches that we can’t stop talking about. It’s also the month of new and improved formulas of previous cult-favourite beauty buys alongside the introduction to various sun care products. As we transition into fall, here are some skincare and makeup goodies that we feel are worth trying out during this season. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius

Struggling with sparse brows? Worry not as Anastasia Beverly Hills has launched a new brow serum for smoother and fuller-looking brows. Formulated with peptides, panthenol, Korean Ginseng, biotin and castor oil, the serum can be worn on its own or under makeup. Just apply it to your eyebrows (focusing on sparse spots) and let it dry before using other eyebrow products. It is recommended to use it twice a day – in the morning and at night – and you should see results in eight weeks’ time. sephora.my

Fenty Beauty Wish You Wood

Fenty has always been giving us perfection in their launches and the latest Wish You Wood long-wear pencil eyeliner is no different. The waterproof eyeliner is creamy and features an intense matte pigment that promises amazing performance all day long. But this eyeliner is more than just a great colour payoff. The pigment is encased in a sustainable wood pencil and an airtight cap that ensures freshness in every use. The Wish You Wood currently comes in two shades which are easily wearable on a daily basis. sephora.my

NUDESTIX Nudescreen Daily Mineral Veil SPF30

If there’s one thing we love, it’s makeup and skincare-hybrid products. Because it makes getting ready in the morning that much easier. Recently, NUDESTIX released the brand’s first facial SPF that’s not just good for our skin but for our environment as well. The clean and vegan formula provides a veil of coverage and protection while still maintaining our skin’s hydration. It’s also certified reef safe and has recyclable and biodegradable packaging. Available in three shades, it’s the ultimate must-have product for a simple everyday makeup look. sephora.my

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Crème

The Banana Bright Eye Crème has long been a cult favourite among skincare enthusiasts. And you’ll be delighted to know that the brand just launched a new and upgraded version that delivers even better results. Developed with a highly stable vitamin C complex with real gold, the vegan and fragrance-free formula gives your under eyes instant brightening and increased hydration. Just dab a little under your eye and watch the magic happen! sephora.my

Ultra Violette

Say it with us: Wear your sunscreen! UV rays are one of the most prominent causes of ageing and being in a tropical country, sunscreen is the single most important step in your skincare routine. If you struggle to find the right sunscreen then we highly suggest Ultra Violette, which has developed unique sunscreens for everyday wear. The Queen Screen is an amazing serum sunscreen that absorbs like a dream while the Supreme Screen keeps your skin looking plump all day long. And if you’re sensitive, the Clean Screen, which is formulated with organic green tea, cucumber and rosehip extracts, will help soothe and protect your skin. sephora.my

Tatcha The Classic Ritual

Skincare shouldn’t be complicated, and Tatcha understands that. With The Classic Ritual, skincare is made simple and luxurious. The routine starts with the Camellia Cleansing Oil, which removes oil, dirt, and even waterproof makeup. Then, use the Rice Polish to gently exfoliate your skin before moving onto The Essence to plump up your skin. The latter features double-fermented rice, algae and AHAs. Last but not least, nourish your skin with all the good things that come with the weightless Silk Cream. sephora.my

Olaplex No. 4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo

Washing your hair on alternate days is easier said than done when you live in such a humid country. With that, it’s no surprise for us to wash our hair every day and using the right shampoo can help prevent your hair from damage. The Olaplex No. 4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo removes a plethora of pollutants like chlorine, heavy metals and product build-up. But it also restores shine and softness. sephora.my

Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick

Having to be in face masks all the time calls for a lipstick that won’t budge no matter what. And Rare Beauty’s newest launch does exactly that. Available in 10 made-to-match shades as the  Kind Words Matte Lip Liner, the matte lipstick glides like butter on your lips. It also nourishes and moisturises your lips all day long without them feeling cakey or dry. sephora.my

Pixi Limited-Edition Hello Kitty collection

Your favourite Pixi products get a new makeover with the beloved Hello Kitty character. From peekaboo silhouettes of the icon throughout the packaging to embedded shapes on the powder and eyeshadows, the entire collection is too cute to handle. The crowd-favourite glow tonic and makeup fixing mist also get adorable Hello Kitty caps. sephora.my

Supergoop (Re)setting Refreshing Mist

Reapplying sunscreen on top of makeup is no easy feat, which is why you’d want the new Supergoop mist in your bags at all times. The (Re)setting Refreshing Mist is an improved version of the old setting mist, providing an even finer and weightless mist. This allows you to refresh and reapply SPF throughout the day, as you should be doing every 2 hours. Just shake well and spritz it onto your face while closing your eyes and mouth. sephora.my
