I'll spare you the sweater-weather-pumkin-spice-latte talk and get straight to the point: The leaves are changing, and so are our beauty routines. Colder weather necessitates the need for thicker moisturizers, new fragrances, deeper nail polish shades—and that’s just the start. Through extensive testing, the Marie Claire team has narrowed down all the new launches for the month (there were a lot) to a select few that stood out from the pack. A few people fell head-over-heels for a new mascara; others, including yours truly, overhauled their body care routines with shower oils, lotions, and scrubs. 

That’s just the start of this beauty tangent. Brands came through across categories, delivering soon-to-be cult favorites ranging from skincare and makeup to devices and tools. Here, we’re writing little love letters to our newly discovered favorites. Shop the best new beauty launches for September, ahead.
