In celebration of our 10th anniversary, here are our top 10 beauty picks for this fall.
P & G
Pucci and Guerlain, that is. The French marque is partnering up with the flamboyant Italian fashion house this fall, dressing its iconic products in a bold, psychedelic print. The ultra-limited series includes
a special edition Météorites pearls of powder and its namesake brush, which comes in a delicate tied-fabric pouch in homage to the House of Pucci’s bucket bag. Other items include the new 2024 Rouge G mirror case, now in gold, with two lipstick colours to choose from. There is also an eye palette, a Terracotta powder and a Parure Gold Cushion foundation, all featuring the colourful marmo motif.
Météorites Marmo Swirl Brush, $74
Guerlain x Pucci Rouge G Marmo Double Mirror Case | $60
Ombres G 045 Marmo Vibe | $125
Météorites Marmo Swirl, 02 Rosé | $92
Lullaby Love
Give your skin some nighttime pampering with this moisturizer to improve skin’s bounce and reduce visible signs of aging overnight. It contains eight powerhouse collagen-supporting ingredients that can help reduce the looks of lines by 15 per cent in just one sleep. The magical bi-layer texture transforms from rich to weightless upon application, absorbing quickly while imparting a calming citrus floral scent with notes of mandarin, bergamot, violet and sandalwood.
Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Night Power Bounce Crème, 50 ml | $148
Plum Assignment
Purple is definitely the it-colour in cosmetics this season. Rather than favouring one particular shade, it is a haze of varying hues and intensities—from ethereal innocence to regal sultriness. This fourshade eye shadow compact from Chanel’s 2024 Fall Clairvoyance collection is our favourite so far—the light- and dark-toned purple harkens to chiaroscuro in art—the play on light and shadow, while the muted camel orange and delicious matcha green lets you play with contrast. Check out the lavender blush, amethyst mascara and the green-and-purple nail polish in the collection as well.

Hands in the Air
Look more youthful right down to your fingertips. This game-changing hand cream not only replenishes moisture and softens cuticles, it also contains an intensive illuminating complex to diminish the appearance of spots and brighten skin tone. Developed with SPF 18 protection, it helps prevent signs of photo aging. Scents of peony and orchids make every application a spa-like experience.
Clé de Peau Beauté Hand Cream, 75 ml | $120
Petal Power
New research shows that in order for the skin to repair itself and recover quickly from external aggressors, it needs to be supplemented with omega micronutrition. This groundbreaking formula contains 10,000 micro beads per bottle, each one encapsulating an omega-rich concentrate derived from the petals of the legendary rose de Granville, as well as bio-peptides, hyaluronic acids, minerals and rose sap. It can help skin recover twice as fast and appear six times plumper. The serum is also proven to help skin reap more benefits from laser facial treatments while recovering faster.
Dior Prestige Micro-Huille de Rose Activated Serum, 50 ml | $590
The Multitasker
Some people love to layer products, but if you prefer something that does it all, this next-generation daytime treatment visibly reduces discolouration, dark spots, heatinduced freckles and fine lines, while offering broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, infrared and blue light rays. In other words, it protects your skin against UV rays, and targets the appearance of photo damage that’s already occurred. Like other skin balms, it appears dense and solid in the jar, but it will melt and get absorbed once massaged into the skin.
U Beauty Multimodal Defender Balm SPF 30 Broad Spectrum PA +++, 50 ml | $248
Hair-Raising Act
Designed for men, women and all hair types, this fortifying shampoo boosts hair’s youthfulness and vitality. This treatment energizes the scalp and helps boost hair for a visibly thicker, stronger and more resistant look, thanks to two complementary key ingredient complexes: the revitalizing stimulating complex and the densifying complex. For best results, use the shampoo every time you wash your hair, and apply the serum every other day for a month, then twice a week for two months.
