What’s New in Beauty This Month?

Best for: Tired-looking eyes. The Ordinary brings this season's most talked-about ingredient to the eye area. 4% Lacto-PDRN, a vegan, biotech-derived alternative to salmon PDRN, works with vitamin B9 to help visibly firm and smooth. Film-forming technology gives an instant tightening effect. The fast-absorbing texture sits neatly under concealer without pilling, so it's an easy morning upgrade at a very friendly price.

Best for: A soft-focus flush.

This one is all about colour you can build. The ultra-creamy texture melts into cheeks with a blurred, glowy finish, and rosehip extract from YSL's Ourika Community Gardens keeps it comfortable all day. Tap on a sheer wash for everyday, or layer it under powder blush when you want the colour to really show.

Best for: Cosy autumn evenings. Burberry Goddess gets a golden-hour glow-up. Lavender and a maple syrup accord open the scent, then the signature vanilla trio deepens with caramelised, roasted vanilla. An ambery base lingers with sensual warmth, and the refillable amber-gradient bottle looks just as good on your dressing table.

Best for: Dry, dehydrated hair. Let your hair do the work while you sleep. Moroccanoil blends its signature argan oil with hyaluronic acid and vegan snail mucin to hydrate and soften strands overnight. The weightless texture leaves no residue on hair or pillow, so you wake up to smooth, shiny lengths that detangle in seconds.

Best for: Bouncy, plump-looking skin. Kiehl's newest serum is a shot of bounce in a bottle. A collagen polypeptide, delivered by a Supra-Liposomal system, targets visible signs of ageing, and rhamnose helps soften the look of fine lines. Vitamin B12 gives the gel-to-serum texture its pink hue. It sinks in fast with no stickiness, leaving skin looking springy and refreshed.

Best for: At-home LED. Shark's LED mask now comes in pink. InstaChill technology cools under the eyes at adjustable temperatures, while red, blue and infrared light modes help skin look smoother and more even over time. Short, timed sessions fit easily into your evening wind-down, whether you're on the sofa or scrolling in bed.

Best for: A calmer bedtime. Neal's Yard Remedies pairs an aromatic foaming bath with a goodnight pillow mist, both infused with lavender and geranium essential oils. Sink into a warm soak, then spritz your pillow for an evening routine that feels properly unhurried. It's the slow, cosy ritual that darker October nights were made for.

Best for: Second-day hair. Living Proof's Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo has a limited-edition makeover in Frosted Fig. Its powder removal system helps visibly lift away oil and sweat without leaving residue, and conditioning agents keep hair feeling silky rather than stiff. A soft fig and coconut scent makes skipping wash day feel like a treat.

Best for: A sweet statement scent. Black Opium, but make it pink. YSL's newest take on the signature coffee-floral adds a juicy, 100% naturally extracted strawberry note that melts into jasmine, before black coffee and amber woods bring the familiar warmth. In a lacquered dark pink bottle, it's a playful twist on a scent you already love.

Best for: Combination and oily skin. Lightweight hydration without the shine. LANEIGE's Balance Mode Liquid Moisturiser melts into skin like water, and its Rice-inamide Complex of rice and niacinamide helps tame the look of excess oil and pores. Ceramides and peptides lock in moisture, so skin looks fresh and balanced from your morning coffee through to evening plans.

Best for: On-the-go colour. Armani's Dolci Blush may be the sweetest thing in your make-up bag this season. The pocket-sized stick glides on as a cream and sets to a soft matte powder, with buildable colour that lasts up to five hours. Dab it on cheeks and lips for an easy monochrome look, in shades from sweet peach to playful plum.

Best for: A post-dinner ritual. ARTAH's Digest + Debloat is a botanical tonic made to sit neatly around mealtimes. Wild yam, chamomile and dandelion root blend with artichoke, lemon balm and mugwort for a fresh, aromatic taste that works as a palate cleanser before or after you eat. Add a few drops to water, stir it into a tea or take it neat. It's an easy wellness moment to build into your everyday routine.

Best for: Counting down to Christmas. Check in early for the festive season with Benefit's Hotel Beneville. Behind the 24 doors is a mix of full sizes, minis and limited-edition accessories, from BADgal BANG! mascara to Benetint and Hoola Bronzer. In bold, playful pink packaging, it makes every December morning feel like a room upgrade.
