If you were to take a peek into a beauty editor’s bathroom, you would see one thing and one thing only: overflowing shelves stacked with of all the latest and greatest beauty products from skin care to makeup. While it gets overwhelming at times, one of our favorite things about our job is playing with products, and after trying the best of the season, we’ve each come to the conclusion that these must-haves deserve vanity room. Here, our editors talk favorites and how they’re implementing them into their fall routines.
Feelist Do Not Disturb Extra Strength Body Cream ($78)
“I had a very makeshift work-at-home desk setup during both spring and summer. Some new pens, a new notebook and a couple of strategically placed beauty products—including The Feelist’s Do Not Disturb Extra Strength Body Cream—later, I feel like I’m going into fall with a much more solid situation.”
—Liz Ritter, Executive Editor
Payot Pâte Grise L’Originale ($22)
“In spite of my current hiatus from international travel, I’ve been fulfilling my wanderlust by experimenting with beauty imports. One of my new favorites (and new to the U.S.): Payot Pâte Grise L’Originale, a cult-favorite spot treatment and best-kept French skin-care secret—one sells every five minutes in Parisian department stores.”
—Brittany Burhop Fallon, Beauty Director
OSEA Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist ($32)
“After working on this issue’s meditation story, my new goal is to skip my morning smartphone scroll and center myself first thing. To get in the right mindset, a few spritzes of OSEA Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist can help activate my body’s relaxation response in order to de-stress for the day before it ever begins.”
—Tatiana Bido, Features Editor
Helena Quinn Silk Robe ($165)
“The air is getting crisper, the leaves are changing colors, coffee is hot instead of iced, and life moves inside. I upgraded my beauty regimen, arguably my life, for the cooler weather with a silk robe. I feel elevated, empowered and totally luxurious—few things feel as effortlessly indulgent. Helena Quinn’s line is environmentally conscious, delicate and beautiful, and this soft apricot hue pairs perfectly with a facial mask and a fire.”
—Sarah Eggenberger, Editor-at-large
It’s a 10 Miracle Round Brush ($19)
“With all the extra time at home, I’m committed to learning how to give myself a proper blowout. I’m still a work in progress, but the smart It’s a 10 Miracle Round Brush has made it about as foolproof as it can get!”
—Danielle Fontana Dooley, Senior Digital Editor
Younique TOUCH Skin Solution Concealer ($29)
“I’ve been trying to perfect my contour for as long as I can remember, and since I’ve been spending more time at home, I’ve had ample time to practice. With the help of Younique’s new TOUCH Skin Concealer and its wide variety of shades, I look forward to mastering a flawless, cream-based contour to complement fall makeup looks.”
