<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/august-2025-beauty-launches-loewe-fendi-nars-tower-28">Beauty launches</a> may be a monthly norm, but it&rsquo;s the seasonal transition periods that truly flood the market. Nearly every brand&mdash;from the most affordable drugstore staples to the most extravagant luxury houses&mdash;rolls out something new to mark the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2025-trends-styling-layering-paper-dolls-story">change in weather</a>. And while there&rsquo;s always that one viral product of the month stealing the spotlight, it&rsquo;s easy to feel overwhelmed by the rest. This September, the sheer volume of drops has been particularly dizzying: brand debuts, makeup innovations, product expansions, and daily teasers arriving at breakneck speed.&nbsp;
Take <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/louis-vuitton-beauty-la-beaute-pat-mcgrath-shop-now-lipstick">Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s official entrance into the makeup space</a>, helmed by none other than the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/pat-mcgrath-makeup-artist-facts">&ldquo;Mother of Makeup&rdquo; Pat McGrath</a>. The Maison is redefining luxury beauty with lipsticks and balms priced at $160 each, plus $250 eyeshadow palettes. As of late, the jury is still out on whether they&rsquo;re worth the splurge, but the luxury crowd is already lining up.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/grande-lash-serum-sensitive-skin-friendly-formula-eyelash-lengthening">Grande Cosmetics</a> has officially launched a sensitive formula of its best-selling GrandeLASH serum: one that strengthens, darkens, lengthens, and thickens even the most delicate lashes, now without irritating the eyes and the skin around them. 
Meanwhile, fragrance lovers will have clocked <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/le-labo-city-exclusives-osmanthus-19-launch">Le Labo&rsquo;s newest launch: Osmanthus 19</a>.

This time, they arrive in an updated formula that delivers all the glossy payoff without the infamous grittiness that once drew criticism.&nbsp;
Still, with so much happening in the beauty world at once, it&rsquo;s easy to feel lost in the noise. That&rsquo;s where we come in: L&rsquo;OFFICIEL&rsquo;s beauty editors have spent the past few weeks testing, swatching, and researching the season&rsquo;s most exciting releases to help you decide what&rsquo;s truly worth your money.&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align: center;">September 2025 Beauty Launches: Makeup</h2>

Among the most exciting and luxurious launches this month is Dior&rsquo;s Rouge Dior On Stage Lipstick. Released just last week, the collection was designed by makeup artist and Christian Dior Beauty Creative Director Peter Philips. The collection features 10 shades, ranging from soft baby pinks to deep berries and classic rouge reds, all delivering intense color with a glossy finish.
Infused with peony extract, the formula not only provides rich pigment but also offers a subtle plumping effect, giving lips a fuller, more luscious look. It&rsquo;s perfect for anyone who wants high-impact color with a touch of luxury and care.

Is powder blush cool again? Glossier is making its case with the new Cloud Paint Plush Blush, a powder take on its cult-favorite gel-cream blush.&nbsp;
Released earlier this month, the blush has already gone viral thanks to its pillowy-soft texture and high-impact pigment. The lineup includes classic shades from the original formula&mdash;Puff, Soar, Storm, and Beam&mdash;alongside new additions: Billow (lavender), Bloom (cool baby pink), Burst (bright red), Gale (tawny pink), Float (rosy mauve), and Plume (rich plum).
Glossier is also introducing a dual-ended brush to pair with the launch: one side with a silicone applicator, the other with a fluffy blending brush.

In the spirit of pulling from the clean-girl makeup trend&mdash;and making makeup fun again&mdash;Isamaya Beauty has unveiled its most anticipated launch of the year: two new core eyeshadow palettes, a reformulated take on its best-selling originals.
Each palette features 14 high-impact shades with holographic, multichromatic, and high-gloss finishes. Core 1 revisits fan favorites from the Industrial 1 palette while introducing four brand-new shades. Core 2, on the other hand, brings back all 14 of the brand&rsquo;s best-selling hues. Both come housed in sleek, kidney-shaped compacts that are lightweight, travel-friendly, and designed for extra-long wear.

Among Charlotte Tilbury&rsquo;s long list of cult-favorite best-sellers is the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, a hydrating, luminous formula that keeps makeup in place without feeling heavy on the skin. One of the best things about the brand? They actually listen to fans&rsquo; requests. Good news: earlier this month, Charlotte Tilbury officially launched a blurring version of the original setting spray.
I&rsquo;ve been using it in my routine over the past couple of weeks (a true sacrifice for someone who can&rsquo;t seem to remember to use setting spray), and I have to say, I will absolutely repurchase once I run out of the sample. While I&rsquo;m a self-proclaimed OG Charlotte Tilbury fan, blurring products&mdash;especially setting sprays&mdash;don&rsquo;t usually play well with my dry skin. Ideally, I&rsquo;d like to keep my t-zone and under-eyes more matte to highlight the glowy high points of my face (and, obviously, blur my pores). But alas, that&rsquo;s been a tricky balance.
The new Charlotte Tilbury Blurring Setting Spray solves all of that: it smooths the appearance of pores enough while keeping the rest of my face luminous without feeling overly airbrushed. It also held my makeup in place through an entire night and even minimized eyeliner smudging&mdash;a rare feat for my particularly oily eyelids.
My only qualm is that the nozzle doesn&rsquo;t always deliver an even spritz, so some areas can get a heavier layer than others. You just have to be mindful of how far you hold it from your face. Considering how much it has solved my makeup woes, though, it&rsquo;s a small price to pay.
A couple of other notes: the spray does contain fragrance, so keep that in mind if you&rsquo;re sensitive. The scent doesn&rsquo;t linger, but it could irritate some people. (Personally, I haven&rsquo;t experienced any eczema breakouts, but everyone&rsquo;s skin is different).

Makeup by Mario is one of those makeup-artist-founded brands that makes professional glam feel approachable&mdash;and its latest launch, the SurrealSkin Natural Finish Foundation, is no exception.
Though it offers medium coverage, it&rsquo;s still customizable: a thin layer gives a natural, skin-like finish, while a thicker layer can create a more glam-ready look. It does a great job covering acne scars and redness and filling in pores, even with just half a pump. The formula is best suited for normal to combination-oily skin types.
On dry skin like mine, it emphasized patchiness and texture, but it&rsquo;s still safe for eczema-prone skin. To be fair, dry skin isn&rsquo;t what it&rsquo;s made for (what foundation really works perfectly for everyone?), so if that&rsquo;s more your concern, don&rsquo;t worry&mdash;the brand also offers a luminous option specifically for dry skin: the award-winning <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/makeup-by-mario-surreal-foundation-P503679?skuId=2835213&amp;icid2=products%20grid:p503679:product" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SurrealSkin Luminous Hydrating Foundation</a>.

There have been very few times a makeup product made me audibly gasp&mdash;but Haus Labs&rsquo; Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm did just that. Launched just last week, the contour stick glides on so incredibly smooth that I instinctively braced for resistance, ready to apply with the heavier hand I usually need with cream contours. Instead, it melted onto my skin in one swipe. Needless to say, Haus Labs nailed the &ldquo;Shaping Balm&rdquo; name.&nbsp;
True to its name, the &ldquo;Precision Sculpt&rdquo; packaging is slimmer than most contour sticks&mdash;and that's a good thing. Most cream sticks are so bulky that you&rsquo;d need to warm the product up on the back of your hand and pick it up with a brush, which tends to be messy and time-consuming. If not, you&rsquo;d apply it directly to your face and then spend extra effort correcting placement and cleaning up the area with a setting powder or concealer. The Haus Labs contour stick takes away that guesswork: it&rsquo;s precise, easy, and surprisingly foolproof.&nbsp;
The formula itself blends seamlessly: no patchiness, no muddiness. The finish isn&rsquo;t an overly dramatic, intense contour (though you can definitely achieve that if you size up a shade darker). Instead, it creates a natural but noticeable sculpt that&rsquo;s flattering and buildable. It&rsquo;s not sheer by any means, but it strikes that perfect balance between definition and wearability.&nbsp;
The verdict? This is hands-down one of the top three cream contours I&rsquo;ve ever tried (and trust I&rsquo;ve tried most).

Tower 28 is quick to innovate some viral-worthy products, and their latest release is no exception. Meet the GoGo Cooling Shimmer Eyeshadow Stick, which debuted just last week. Available in nine versatile shades, this creamy, water-based stick delivers shimmer, pigment, and play&mdash;all in a lightweight formula safe for sensitive skin. It&rsquo;s hypoallergenic, silicone- and talc-free, and meets the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance guidelines.
&ldquo;As someone who&rsquo;s dealt with chronic eczema, I believe we deserve to have fun with beauty too,&rdquo; Tower 28 founder and CEO Amy Liu said in a release. &ldquo;This eyeshadow stick is proof you can have performance, shimmer, and play&mdash;all while being safe for sensitive skin.&rdquo;
The application is effortless. The formula glides smoothly across lids, with a cooling sensation that&rsquo;s instantly refreshing. You can apply directly to the eyelid, then blend with either a finger or a soft, dense brush. Using a brush gives you more control for a natural yet buildable finish, while blending with your finger surprisingly intensifies the pigment. Once it sets, it stays in place without transferring&mdash;no mess, no fallout&mdash;a refreshing standout compared to most cream shadows that tend to spread across the face almost instantly.
It&rsquo;s highly pigmented, buildable, and creamy, though note that it does set a little faster than expected. It&rsquo;s not instantaneous, but it&rsquo;s best to keep this in mind to ensure smooth, precise application.
Compact and travel-friendly, the GoGo Stick is perfect for on-the-go glam, quick pops of color, or a last-minute shimmer when you&rsquo;re in a rush. As Liu says, it's proof that high-performance, playful, and sensitive-skin-friendly products can coexist&mdash;exactly what Tower 28 does best.

Dolce &amp; Gabbana just dropped its Everlast Concealer this week, and it might be one of the most impressive complexion launches I&rsquo;ve tried in a while. Available in 30 shades, the formula is infused with gardenia-derived bio-peptides and a caffeine-like adaptogenic complex, giving it a true skincare-meets-makeup edge.&nbsp;
The texture is creamy and blendable&mdash;immediately reminiscent of Nars&rsquo; cult-favorite Radiant Creamy Concealer, but elevated with D&amp;G&rsquo;s signature luxurious touch. It offers medium coverage, though certainly customizable depending on your needs and preferences. The formula brightens under-eyes without settling into fine lines, something very few concealers can offer. It also evens out blemishes or redness while still keeping your base radiant instead of flat or overly matte. Usually, I reach for separate products for under-eyes and imperfections, but this does both.
What really impressed me is how comfortable it feels on the skin. I have eczema-prone skin, and concealers can sometimes cause irritation, but I begrudgingly tolerate them in the name of looking more awake. But this one isn&rsquo;t itchy at all. And even without setting powder, it sits well on the skin, making it a reliable go-to for rushed mornings. During a wear test, it held up flawlessly: no creasing, no settling into dry patches, and no touch-ups required.
I&rsquo;ll be honest: I haven&rsquo;t been wowed by a concealer since trying Merit&rsquo;s concealer-foundation hybrid back in December. I&rsquo;m picky when it comes to coverage products, but Everlast has genuinely earned a spot in my rotation. If you&rsquo;re looking to replace your everyday concealer with something that delivers both performance and a little bit of luxury, this one is absolutely worth a try.

Danessa Myricks&rsquo;s new Mattifying Setting Spray may have just launched earlier this month, but it&rsquo;s already earning rave reviews. And it&rsquo;s easy to see why. It keeps makeup in place: even cream formulations that would normally shift slightly, even with setting powder, stayed put all night. Plus, it delivers on the blurring promise. It smooths the appearance of pores without making your face look flat or overdone.
That said, it&rsquo;s best suited for normal to oily skin types. While I appreciated the lasting power it gave my makeup, it wasn&rsquo;t ideal for my dry skin. I found that it was a little too mattifying for my liking. Still, it doesn&rsquo;t strip moisture or irritate the skin, which I really appreciated.&nbsp;
Nonetheless, it&rsquo;s a solid choice for those who want a more matte, airbrushed finish. Even on dry skin, it&rsquo;s a standout option; my only issue was personal preference for a dewier base. Bonus: it hasn&rsquo;t caused me any eczema breakouts.

When Patrick Ta Beauty first launched its cream and powder highlighter duos last year, beauty obsessives were divided. Some swore by the natural finish, while others felt underwhelmed&mdash;especially since the brand is usually so consistent with its cream and powder blushes and eyeshadows. Soon after, the highlighters quietly disappeared, sold out for months. But just a couple of weeks ago, the cult-favorite brand officially relaunched the infamous formula with a fresh reformulation. Now, it&rsquo;s finally back&mdash;this time in five shades: My Love (a diamond sparkle), Sugar (a champagne shimmer), Baby (a pink shimmer), Daddy (a rose gold shimmer), and Honey (a bronze shimmer).&nbsp;
I tested My Love, Baby, and Honey, and I can confidently say this is the highlighter I&rsquo;ve been waiting for. If you&rsquo;re looking for a blinding, disco-balm gleam, this won&rsquo;t be it (though My Love can get you close). But if a lit-from-within glow is more your speed, these duos deliver in spades. The best part? They&rsquo;re buildable, so you can go subtle or turn it up without ever looking overdone. Pro tip: try Patrick Ta&rsquo;s signature powder-before-cream trick. It might be unconventional, a little strange even. But with these highlighters, it maximizes luminosity and staying powder.&nbsp;
The textures are consistent across shades:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cream: Lightweight, smooth, and easy to pick up with fingers. It glides on with a slippery finish, which is rare for cream highlighters that usually lean more on the sticky side. It&rsquo;s perfect for the quick, effortless application.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Powder: Buttery, blendable pigment with a shimmer that reads brighter but still natural. It layers beautifully under the cream for extra impact.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
And here&rsquo;s how the shades performed:&nbsp;&nbsp;
My Love
This is the standout. The powder applied beautifully with a small, dense fan brush, delivering a natural glow that built up easily to a more intense, spotlight finish. Of the three shades I tried, this one feels the most versatile&mdash;it can do everything from subtle day glow to full-on glow for the gods. The cream works well alone for a dewy complexion or layered under the powder for added luminosity.
Baby
It&rsquo;s a soft pearlescent sheen. In the pan, the cream looks pink, but it applies much more neutral, leaving behind a soft pearl finish that&rsquo;s subtle and wearable. The powder has the same soft sheen, making this the most natural shade of the bunch. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days or anyone who wants just the faintest hint of radiance.
Honey
At first, I worried Honey would be too dark for my medium skin tone, but it surprised me. It gives a gorgeous bronzy glow that feels especially flattering in the summer, or any time I&rsquo;ve caught a tan. It&rsquo;s warm without looking muddy, and adds just the right amount of sun-kissed dimension. When I&rsquo;m not tan, I&rsquo;d even use it as eyeshadow.&nbsp;
The verdict? The reformulation feels like Patrick Ta finally nailed what the original duos were missing. &ldquo;Natural&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t have to mean barely-there&mdash;and these prove it. They strike that sweet spot between subtle and impactful, while staying easy to use and flattering across skin tones. For me, they&rsquo;ve officially earned a spot on my top shelf.

The lip liner that went viral after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sofia-richie-grainge-wedding-tiktok-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sofia Richie Grainge</a> wore it at her 2023 wedding is officially back&mdash;reformulated, refined, and better than ever. Just relaunched today, DIBS Beauty&rsquo;s lip liner arrives in six versatile shades, ranging from soft baby pinks to deep browns, designed to flatter every skin tone.
The formula is a dream to apply: it glides on effortlessly without tugging, even on bare, un-prepped lips. Once it sets, it stays put. In fact, it&rsquo;s easily one of the longest-lasting lip liners I&rsquo;ve ever tested&mdash;surviving meals, drinks, and hours of wear without fading or smudging.
If you&rsquo;re looking for a liner that defines lips with ease, locks in color, and actually lasts, this relaunch is worth a look.

The formula targets dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness while helping to defend against sun damage and pollution.

Earlier this year, Guerlain launched the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum, a deep-repair, skin-revitalizing a light-weight oil-serum hybrid. Now, the brand has introduced an extra boost for when skin needs an intensive, age-defying treatment: the Abeille Royale Bee Lab Shot ($60 for 7). Designed as a 7-day regimen, the Bee Lab Shot is mixed with 10 drops of the Youth Watery Oil Serum at each application to deliver concentrated repair during periods of stress, fatigue, or overworked skin.
The Bee Lab Shot&rsquo;s patented formulation features high-concentration active ingredients in crystallized spheres that melt on contact with the serum. Each sphere contains pure concentrates of 20 percent Vitamin Cg, hyaluronic acid, and Black Bee Honey, crafted through a freeze-drying process to preserve potency. Packaged as seven test-tube-like bottles for a week of treatment, the spheres visibly boost radiance after the first day and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles by day seven. In consumer tests, 99% of women reported visibly transformed skin after one week.

While bodycare and haircare brand Nature of Things originally launched in 2019, it was recently acquired and relaunched by Hourglass Cosmetics founder Carisa Janes. The refreshed brand is now rooted in natural, plant-based formulations while elevating them with a more luxurious approach.
I&rsquo;ve been using the newly relaunched line&mdash;which includes shampoos, conditioners, and various body products&mdash;for a week, and so far my favorite has been the Lavender Leaf Hand Cream. Most hand creams either feel overly sticky or barely do anything for the skin, but this one is the perfect balance: lightweight yet noticeably nourishing for my dry, sun-exposed hands. Plus, the scent is aromatic without being overpowering. It feels like a true wellness treat.

This month, Clarins introduced a reformulated take on its best-selling Multi-Active Glow Serum, a bi-phase formula that pairs Vitamin C with AHA to address dullness, fatigue, and loss of radiance through gentle exfoliation and skin renewal. It&rsquo;s a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly, and leaves skin fresh and dewy. As with any bi-phase product, be sure to shake well before using to activate the full blend of ingredients.

Then there&rsquo;s the nostalgic release: EOS&rsquo; new mini Super Balm trio. At just $12, you get three of the fruitiest lip balms, each reminiscent of the iconic egg-shaped balms that defined the early and mid-2010s (except, of course, in an on-the-go-friendly packaging and a liquid formula).&nbsp;
The trio includes Strawberry Sorbet, Honey Apple, and Raspberry Kiwi Splash&mdash;all nourishing, juicy, and hydrating, perfect for keeping lips soft during the cold, dry months ahead.

Merit may be best known known for its simple, minimalist makeup staples, but lately, the brand has been extending that same philosophy into skincare. Case in point: the Great Skin Double Cleanse, a new bi-phase foaming cleanser that launched just a couple of weeks ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The formula is packed with thoughtful ingredients: PolyHydroxy Acids for gentle exfoliation, oat-derived surfactants for a non-stripping cleanse, and plant-derived humectants to keep skin hydrated. It starts out as a soft foam when you pump it, then shifts into a silkier, more fluid texture as you work it into the skin. Since it&rsquo;s bi-phase, be sure to shake well before use.&nbsp;
Performance-wise, it delivers a nourishing cleanse that leaves skin feeling smooth and fresh&mdash;never tight or dry, which is a rarity outside of oil cleansers. The Great Skin Double Cleanse is designed to replace the usual two-step cleansing process. So naturally, as a big believer in double cleansing, I&rsquo;ll admit I was skeptical&mdash;uncomfortable, even. But it actually holds up, even on full makeup days. As long as you take your time and really work it in, especially around the edges like the jawline, hairline, and temples, it removes everything. I even tested its cleansing power with a micellar water pad afterward and found zero leftover makeup.&nbsp;
For $32, it&rsquo;s available solo at Sephora, but if you&rsquo;re already a fan of Merit&rsquo;s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum and Great Skin Moisturizer, you can grab <a href="https://www.meritbeauty.com/products/the-great-skin-trio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the trio on Merit&rsquo;s site</a> for $96 instead of $108.

We&rsquo;ve long seen the power of Korean beauty, but Sulwhasoo&rsquo;s newest launch takes hydration and nourishment to the next level. Just released this week, the Essential Collection includes three products: a balancing toner, a revitalizing emulsion, and a firming cream moisturizer.&nbsp;
The standout is the Revitalizing Emulsion. Even with its milky, creamy texture, it feels weightless&mdash;perfect for a daytime routine. It helps prep the skin so every step that follows absorbs more effectively. It&rsquo;s powered by Sulwhasoo&rsquo;s signature Sulwha Revitalizing Complex for antioxidant protection, plus a blend of five botanicals (peony, lotus seed, solomon&rsquo;s seal, white lily, and rehmannia). Together, they boost hydration, elasticity, and overall skin firmness. It does carry a subtle citrus fragrance, so though it fades quickly, it&rsquo;s something to note if you&rsquo;re sensitive to fragrance.&nbsp;
The Firming Cream moisturizer, on the other hand, also deserves a spotlight. Despite its rich name, it&rsquo;s surprisingly lightweight, layers beautifully under makeup, and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. Skin feels plump, smooth, and nourished&mdash;ideal for anyone who wants daytime moisture without heaviness.&nbsp;
Used together, the Essential Collection makes for the ultimate makeup prep in just three steps. Even with my dry skin&mdash;where achieving glow often means over-moisturizing and unwanted greasiness&mdash;this trio hits the perfect balance. The result: skin that looks dewy, feels comfortable, and keeps makeup light and seamless throughout the day.

Kora Organics&rsquo; Turmeric Glow Drops officially launched late last month, joining the brand&rsquo;s best-selling turmeric line. It&rsquo;s a natural alternative to niacinamide: delivering the same pore-tightening, brightening, and smoothing benefits&mdash;except formulated entirely with certified organic ingredients.&nbsp;
Powered by turmeric, crowberry, birch bark, and hyaluronic acid, the lightweight serum absorbs quickly. (Read: it&rsquo;s great for both day and night routines, even for naturally oily skin types like Miranda Kerr&rsquo;s, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/miranda-kerr-kora-organics-turmeric-skincare-clean-beauty">as she told L&rsquo;OFFICIEL in a recent interview</a>). Like the rest of the Kora lineup, it&rsquo;s COSMOS-certified organic by EcoCert and safe for sensitive skin. In fact, Kerr told L&rsquo;OFFICIEL the serum took nearly five years of testing, research, and studies to perfect.
At $77, it&rsquo;s certainly a splurge compared to your standard niacinamide. But for those looking for a clean, effective upgrade free of harmful additives or potential carcinogens, it&rsquo;s a worthy investment in your routine.

I&rsquo;m not the biggest believer in face masks. Detoxing and exfoliating usually work better through acid formulations in serums or toners, at least on my skin. But Biossance&rsquo;s new Pore Minimizing Mask might have officially converted me.&nbsp;
The creamy clay texture spreads easily across the face, and after about a minute, you might feel a slight minty tingle. If you have sensitive skin, it&rsquo;s worth noting. But even with my eczema-prone skin, it never felt itchy or irritating. After just one five-minute use, my pores looked noticeably tighter and smaller, especially around the nose (my personal trouble spot). I even saw fewer blackheads. The formula&rsquo;s power comes from 10 percent azelaic acid, kaolin clay, eucalyptus oil, and sugarcane squalane.&nbsp;
Unlike many masks, this one doesn&rsquo;t strip away moisture. Instead, it leaves skin feeling refreshed, balanced, and comfortable&mdash;all with the pore-tightening benefits. You only need to use it for five minutes two to three times a week, and it delivers results without the mess, harshness, and discomfort I usually associate with face masks. Sure, it&rsquo;s not the miracle cure for every problem (let&rsquo;s face it: what is?), but it definitely belongs in a smart maintenance routine. It could even work as a quick fix for special occasions.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;ve ever had your go-to longwear lip liner refuse to show up, chances are you over-prapped&mdash;maybe with a mask or a little too much Vaseline. No shame, we&rsquo;ve all been there. It often feels like a lose-lose: either your <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-lip-liner-lip-gloss-lipstick-combinations-combo-ideas">lip combo</a> won&rsquo;t show up at all, or it does&hellip;but so do the dry cracks. Enter Burt&rsquo;s Bees new Lip Milk: the solution to that problem. It comes in two scents, Sweet Strawberry and Toasted Coconut, both delicious and feel like a sweet treat for your lips.
It&rsquo;s not a balm so much as a lotion for your lips. Made with jojoba oil and almond milk, the formula starts out liquidy (hence the &ldquo;milk&rdquo; name), but the white tint disappears shortly after contact, leaving behind a soft, light slip. It&rsquo;s the perfect prep step for your go-to lip combination. Unlike masks or petroleum-based formulas that can feel too thick, Lip Milk creates just enough cushion so lip liners and lipsticks glide on effortlessly&mdash;just make sure you exfoliate beforehand if you&rsquo;re experiencing a particularly dry day, because, of course, it's not a quick-fix the way masks or treatments are.&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align: center;">September 2025 Beauty Launches: Hair</h2>

Last month, Shark Beauty released <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/shark-vs-dyson-comparison-heat-tools-curling-hair-straightener-review">Shark Glam</a>, its updated multi-purpose heated hairstyler, available in two versions for straight/wavy hair and curly/coily hair. Now, for those who just want a simple heated round brush, the brand has launched Shark Glossi.
The Shark Glossi is a smooth-glide heated brush that effortlessly moves through hair without tugging or snagging, leaving strands looking healthier with less breakage. I personally own the Shark Glam, which includes the same Glossi round brush attachment, and that&rsquo;s honestly what I use most&mdash;I even swapped out my Dyson Airwrap for it. It&rsquo;s an excellent product that&rsquo;s well worth every penny.

Hair oils aren&rsquo;t usually my thing. Even though I balayage my hair and style it with heat almost every day, it&rsquo;s surprisingly resilient. My main issue with hair oils is that while they&rsquo;re nourishing, they tend to make my already fast-greasing hair get oily even faster. That is, until I tried Arove&rsquo;s new Illuminous Ultra-Hydrating Hair Oil&mdash;and it officially converted me.
Founded by celebrity hairstylist Michael Due&ntilde;as, this oil is lightweight but not sticky, offering true slip that makes it easy to brush through the ends without the heaviness of thicker oils. It keeps hair shiny, bouncy, and manageable when styled, all while being free of silicones and fillers, vegan, cruelty-free, and color-safe. The formula features a blend of nourishing seed oils like marula and moringa, perfect for taming frizz, along with vitamin E for antioxidant protection.

Moroccanoil has introduced the Treatment Mist, a lightweight dry oil spray designed to add shine, hydration, and manageability to all hair types. Infused with argan oil and linseed extract, it nourishes strands, helps smooth frizz, and protects against heat while remaining weightless enough for fine hair. The cloud-like mist can be used on damp hair to speed up blow-drying or on dry hair to refresh styles and revive curls, leaving a soft, glossy finish with the brand&rsquo;s signature scent.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">September 2025 Beauty Launches: Fragrance</h2>

This month, Kilian expands its Angels&rsquo; Share collection with Angels&rsquo; Share on the Rocks, a luminous reinterpretation of the indulgent original. Inspired by Kilian Hennessy&rsquo;s preferred way of enjoying cognac&mdash;on the rocks&mdash;this new fragrance blends a sparkling freshness of bergamot, grapefruit, and aldehydes with the warm, rich depth of cognac essence, myrrh resin, and tonka bean absolute, balancing frosty brightness with smooth amber allure. Part of The Liquors collection and crafted by perfumer Benoist Lapouza, it&rsquo;s a playful yet sophisticated twist on a beloved gourmand classic.

Christian Louboutin&rsquo;s F&eacute;tiche La Lavande Eau de Parfum launched just this week, and it delivers an audacious yet addicting scent experience. At its heart is lavender, bold and aromatic, contrasted with a black leather and floral base that brings unexpected depth and sensuality.&nbsp;
Housed in the brand&rsquo;s signature stiletto-inspired F&eacute;tiche bottle, designed to echo the elegance of the Ballerina Ultima, the fragrance is as striking visually as it is olfactorily.
&ldquo;With Lavande F&eacute;tiche, I wanted to explore an unexpected contrast: the aromatic sophistication of a lavender trio and the raw sensuality of an intense, almost animalic leather,&rdquo; says perfumer Domitille Michalon in a release.&nbsp;
Michalon describes F&eacute;tiche La Lavande as &ldquo;a foug&egrave;re-leathery fragrance, both luminous and dark,&rdquo; certainly a statement scent.

Diptyque Lazulio Eau de Parfum launched earlier this week, offering a fresh, sophisticated scent that lingers beautifully. Its composition blends tangy rhubarb, balsamic benzoin, vibrant vetiver, and a touch of rose, creating a fragrance that&rsquo;s both luminous and long-lasting. In wear tests, just two spritzes on the wrist at 4 p.m. still carried through 11 p.m.&mdash;subtle yet persistent without ever feeling overpowering. For those who prefer a bolder presence, a few extra spritzes will easily intensify the fragrance.
The fragrance is housed in a sleek glass bottle, featuring Diptyque&rsquo;s signature oval embedded in the glass, which magnifies the illustration behind it. As Diptyque describes it, &ldquo;Lazulio draws parallels between the deep, crystalline beauty of lapis lazuli and the stunning majesty of a peacock feather.&rdquo;
For those purchasing directly from Diptyque, each bottle comes with a sample of your chosen fragrance, so you can test it fully and even return the full bottle if it&rsquo;s not a perfect match.

Aēsop Above Us, Steorra Eau de Parfum arrives in an amber glass bottle, reflecting the brand&rsquo;s signature understated minimalism. This unisex fragrance is a mature, sophisticated scent that opens with a spicy kick before settling into a warm, glowing amber heart. Notes of frankincense, labdanum, and vanilla bean create a rich, aromatic base, complemented by subtle woody undertones and a hint of sweetness from the vanilla.
The overall effect is like a fresh, luxurious bath, warm and comforting yet refined. In wear tests, just two sprays deliver a strong presence without ever feeling overpowering, and the scent lingers subtly for hours, making it an effortless choice for day or night.

Gabar&rsquo;s new collection of neo-gourmand fragrances pushes the boundaries of the gourmand category, and Nagar Min stands out as a darkly seductive centerpiece. Created in collaboration with London-based, Jamaican-British perfumer Ezra-Lloyd Jackson, the scent draws on unusual Southeast Asian-inspired notes like chilli, Sichuan pepper, rosewood, labdanum, and cherry blossom.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We know gourmands have been having a moment over the past years, and we&rsquo;ve been excited to see the plethora of new perfumes in the category,&rdquo; says Phway Su Aye, Gabar&rsquo;s CEO &amp; Creative Director, in a release. &ldquo;That said, the region of Southeast Asia still feels very much underrepresented, especially with many gourmands traditionally leaning into sweeter, cake or pastry-like profiles.&rdquo;
Nagar Min itself is a spicy, dark oud fragrance representing a half-dragon, half-human deity, known for both zeal and danger. Unisex and woody-leaning, Nagar Min is mature, strong, and presents a new take on gourmand with a subtle woody twist, offering depth and intrigue.

Frama&rsquo;s Painted Desert Eau de Parfum captures the essence of a landscape where nature exists at its fullest, translating the quiet grandeur of the high desert into a wearable fragrance. Rooted in sage, frankincense, cedar, and sandalwood, the scent is earthy and dewy with a subtle hint of spice, evoking crisp mornings, sun-warmed stone, and the serene rhythm of a place untouched by time. It&rsquo;s a fragrance that feels grounded yet luminous, connecting the wearer to the natural world with every note.

Lanc&ocirc;me&rsquo;s La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude Eau de Parfum reimagines the classic vanilla scent with a tropical, summery twist. Featuring notes of coconut, solar jasmine, glazed vanilla, and creamy white musk, the fragrance is creamy and indulgent, yet light enough to feel playful and irresistible.
As Martha Stewart puts it, &ldquo;Vanille Nude has a delicacy but a very undeniable personality. It transforms as it touches your skin&hellip; Unlike your average vanilla fragrance, Vanille Nude stays with you long after the dinner party is over. It almost makes you want to take a bite.&rdquo;
In addition to its gourmand, sun-kissed character, Vanille Nude is long-lasting, maintaining noticeable scent throughout the day and even overnight without feeling overpowering. Developed by French perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, it is Lanc&ocirc;me&rsquo;s first vanilla-and-musk perfume, offering a head-turning, sensual experience that melds happiness, warmth, and intimacy in every wear. Perfect for those seeking a vanilla scent that&rsquo;s both creamy and vibrant, it transforms from a subtle daywear fragrance to a lingering, indulgent statement.
Lanc&ocirc;me La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude Eau de Parfum, $165, <a href="https://www.macys.com/shop/product/lancome-la-vie-est-belle-vanille-nude-eau-de-parfum-first-at-macys?ID=23156170" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Macy&rsquo;s</a>
