Jackie’s Beauty Buys: 15 Items I’m Loving This Fall

Spent all summer soaking up the sun? Alpha-H’s Liquid Gold treatment resurfaces skin to diminish the look of wrinkles, pigmentation, and UV damage. It goes on as a lightweight liquid and works as an overnight facial—so you’ll wake up with glowing skin every time.

With cooler weather around the corner, I’m keeping my lips hydrated with moisturizing lip oils. This one by NUDESTIX is the perfect shade for fall, and I love its glossy yet non-sticky finish.

I’ve been experimenting with lots of hot hair tools lately (see my recent rave review of Amika’s beach waver in my editors’ favorites story), but I want to make sure my strands stay protected. Enter: Bumble and Bumble’s brand new thermal protection mist. The just-released product uses sustainably-sourced honey to condition and improve hair elasticity, while guarding against damage from up to 450°F heat.

Skincare often requires loads of patience, so any product that can speed up the process is warmly welcomed. That’s why I love that Peace and Lily’s new sleeping mask goes to work overnight, delivering antioxidants, peptides, and brightening ingredients while skin’s in its naturally reparative mode.

I’m prepping for dry skin season by stocking up on the most hydrating products I can get my hands on, including Jao Brand’s cult-favorite Goe Oil for my body. The rich formula features over 28 natural plant, fruit, and flower oils—so this is pretty much guaranteed to soothe your skin.

During summer, I tend to go light on eye makeup—it just ends up smudged during sunny, sweaty days. Now that fall’s here, I’m excited to add Grande Cosmetics’s GrandeDRAMA mascara to my routine. The product is buildable, thickening, and glossy—in other words, highly dramatic.

Need a new fall scent but don’t want to smell like a pumpkin? This slightly less obvious fragrance—with base notes of cedarwood and vanilla absolute and top notes of pepper essence and orange flower petals—is reminiscent of an autumn day at the library, inspired by Oxford in 1997.

Josie Maran is famous for using 100% argan oil in skincare products, and this resurfacing serum—a certified clean product—is no exception. The formula provides skin with a heavy dose of vitamin E, antioxidants, and omega essential fatty acids, supporting natural cell turnover and refining texture.

If you’ve read my beauty stories before, you know I love Rahua—not only for its quality hair products but for the brand’s sustainable mission. The founders are dedicated to working alongside the indigenous people of the Amazon to source ingredients only from self-sustained forests, and the rahua oil is respectfully created through an ancient ceremonial process. The brand’s newest release may be one of my favorites yet. Designed to strengthen your follicle, the plant-powered treatment uses hemp, rahua, and palo santo oils to balance the scalp’s microbiome.

Can we talk about how gorgeous this palette is?! With a mix of matte shades and marbled shimmers, it’s perfect for creating the bold, bright eyeshadow looks that my whole team is obsessed with right now.

I’ve tried quite a few under-eye masks and patches, and not one has come close to Peace Out Puffy Eyes. Made from an ultra-thin bio-cellulose material (we’re talking fibers that are 1,000 times thinner than human hair), the patches perfectly fit into all the grooves of the skin to more effectively deliver their de-puffing, illuminating serum.

When it comes to tried-and-true, there’s nothing like a simple sugar scrub for exfoliating the body. This one from Dani Naturals uses organic cane sugar to smooth the skin and shea butter to deeply moisturize.

I won’t lie—I partially love these animated animal face masks for silly selfie-taking purposes. But the skin perks are all there, too. The tiger mask uses an anti-aging collagen essence to rejuvenate skin and prevent fine lines, and it gives me a major glow.

Beauty starts from the inside, and this vegan supplement from bioClarity is here to amp up that inner gorgeousness. With essential vitamins A, B6, C, D, E, and K, plus adaptogens and the brand’s signature chlorophyll Floralux ingredient, the daily tablets help balance skin and fight off aggravators. 

I’m a sucker for a subscription box, and the newest on my radar is JoahBox. The monthly mailing sends you five to seven full-size Korean beauty products or tools, plus tips on how to use them. Each set has a value of up to $100—almost triple the $35.95/month fee.
