The Autumn Beauty Edit

The Lip Oil

Fara Homidi Lip Plumping Oil, £35

The new soft glass lip plumping oil from Fara Homidi is worth the hype. It plumps the lips without the sting – giving Mac lipglass y2k – but with added hydration and without the stickiness – breakthrough! A super fresh take on an ultra-gloss meets lip treatment. Coming in four sheer shades that add a tint of soft, shiny colour, this product, described as an oil balm, completes any make-up look. And the science behind it is skincare-centric, so whilst you look juicy and shiny, you are actually tending to the skin on your lips as it’s packed with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides.

Geranium Leaf Body Scrub, £33

No it’s not new, but it’s still one of the absolute best body scrubs out there. And after summer, now is the perfect time to invest in a beautiful body polish to restore and renew skin. A carefully curated and invigorating body exfoliant that leaves the skin thoroughly cleansed and immaculately smooth—perfectly prepared for hydration, and the smell is insanely good.

The Perfume

Backgrounds Oud & Oakmoss 100ml, £95

This incredible eau de parfum from House of Alchemy is truly a fragrance for the senses. The union of rich, grounding scents oud and oakmoss exudes an earthy sweetness with soothing notes that are warm and envelop the soul, and feels different to the rest. Oud, known for its regality and richness, lingers on the skin, combined with oakmoss, adding that green, mineral cool. This fragrance is a meeting of worlds and will have everyone asking what it is – unforgettable, and undeniably beautiful.

The Concealer

Jones Road, The Face Pencil, £26

This concealer is a new wave of genius from legendary make-up artist and product developer, Bobbi Brown. The precision and ease of using a concealer in this creamy pencil form is very refreshing. It doesn’t cake, and is so easy to use. The coverage is not heavy, but buildable, giving you precise control to cover those random spots and areas without heaviness – a perfect little airbrush pencil! Plus, this comes in a beautiful and vast colour range.

The Scalp Treatment

A luxurious serum that helps steady an itchy and dry scalp, reducing irritation while keeping it hydrated and balanced. This product comes highly recommended from beauty writers at The File, and I can concur after trialling over the last couple of weeks, just how gorgeous it is. Made with Japanese Camellia, Brown and Green Algae, and Lavender, this serum helps reduce irritation, redness and itching and combats flakiness caused by a dry scalp. It seems we don’t focus much on our scalp health, but this serum demonstrates the importance of nourishing and tending to the skin on our heads. The process of massaging it into the scalp is amazing too – and surprisingly it doesn’t leave the hair greasy and doesn’t require rinsing out!

The Eyebrow Enhancer

RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Serum 1.5ml, £69

RevitaBrow Advanced is a cult-favourite brow serum, developed by physicians to help restore fullness, strength, and definition to sparse or over-plucked brows. Powered by a cocktail of peptides, biotin, B vitamins and botanicals like ginseng and saw palmetto to improve condition and thickness. Loved by many on The File – this is the answer to fuller brows, naturally so.

The Cleanser

Reome, Three Suns Revitalising Cleanser Balm 110 ml, £55

Recently I have been focusing on strengthening my skin barrier, moving away from stripping and harsher cleansers, and bringing back focus to barrier-restoring products. I was so delighted to have been introduced to Reome’s Three Suns Balm nourishing cleanser, which is exactly that – barrier restoring. Enriched with purifying and hydrating ingredients, this lightweight crème-balm formula works to protect skin’s microbiome balance, nourish and provide antioxidant and anti-pollution protection. The texture is creamy and soothing and feels like a treatment.

The Night Mask

Neuraé The Sleeping Mask, £98

Neuraé, the younger sister of French luxury brand Sisley, is making waves with its new range of holistic-luxe products that are designed to work in harmony with the connection between your brain and your skin. This new comforting overnight mask boosts cutaneous melatonin to support the skin’s nighttime cycle and regeneration. It is designed to assist the bedtime ritual via activating your skin’s receptors for a restful, high-quality sleep. The texture is beautiful – luxurious and smooth – leaving you to wake with refreshed and deeply hydrated, glowing skin.

The Face Tan

I have been absolutely loving this beautiful Australian-made tanning face serum recently. This is not your regular fake tan or glow drops, but more of a hybrid, high-performing, skin-loving serum – which was the focus and point behind the brand. Formulated with 100% natural DHA and high-quality active ingredients, the serum addresses hydration and brightening, leaving your skin nurtured, radiant, and with a stunning natural glow. The formula combines 100% natural DHA for a natural self-tan, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, niacinamide to brighten, vitamin C for skin protection and radiance, and vitamin E to nourish. I am so loving this gorgeous, natural glow — it truly gives you the gift of makeup-free days!

The Hair Oil 

Hair By Sam McKnight Love Me Do Nourishing Oil 50ml, £32

This lightweight but super-effective dry oil is perfect for taming and smoothing hair. It protects against heat damage while nourishing, leaving hair super soft and shiny without feeling greasy. You only need a couple of drops since it’s rich in texture—a little goes a long way. Lightly scented and deeply nourishing, it leaves hair with a natural, radiant shine.
