tom ford eyeshadow lipstick set

We find ourselves saying it each and every month, but how fast is 2018 whizzing by? October is here in all its glory - from sipping on pumpkin spice lattes on the way to work, to whacking up the central heating sky high, autumn is finally here. With a new month comes a brand new array of exciting new beauty launches and we have the low-down on everything you need to try. Here at the HELLO! beauty desk, we have rounded up everything that we have been loving that we think you will enjoy too. From new fragrances to the eye palette that everyone is talking about, it's all here! 

Is there anything more chic than Tom Ford makeup? The high-end beauty brand has released a stunning gift set that is almost too pretty to use. Featuring a bold eye quad in sumptous autumnal tones and two creamy, long-lasting lipsticks, this set is not to be missed. A great gift - but equally a divine treat for yourself.

elizabeth arden retinol capsules

We have been road testing Elizabeth Arden's new retinol serum capsules and quite frankly - we're blown away. Yes, they look super Instagrammable with their rose-gold colour, but they are so much more than that. Simply twist off the bud and the creamy formula - which feels just like a primer - absorbs quickly into your skin, instantly rejuvenating the surface, making your entire face feel softer, plumper and more radiant. You may not know this, but retinol is hyper sensitive, and isn't as effective when you use too much. This is why these capsules are so great - they contain just the right amount of retinol to use over your entire face and neck, giving a much better result that rubbing large quantities all over your face from a jar or pot.

dolissimo lip colour dolce and gabbana

We are always partial to a new lip colour (or two), and this month we have been obsessed with Dolcissimo from Dolce & Gabbana. The unique formula applies as a liquid before turning into a matte finish which is velvety soft, long-lasting and best of all, doesn't dry out your pout. And can we talk about the rosy packaging? It's too pretty for words. In 12 gorgeous shades - from creamy nudes to berry reds - they are just blooming lovely.

huda beauty concealer

Our permanent eye bags never seem to go away, no matter how many early nights we have. Cover up those dark circles with the Overachiever Concealer from Huda Beauty. This formula is highly pigmented; you need the tiniest amount which covers EVERYTHING. And we mean everything. Plus, its long-lasting and doesn't crease, so you don't have to keep applying all day. It comes in a whopping 20 different shades, and with names like Whipped Cream and Peanut Butter, it's a tasty treat your makeup bag (and face) will thank you for.

Quench your dry skin with BYBI's Mega Mist - a natural face mist that can be used to hydrate throughout the day, or as toner after cleansing. Best of all, it's been repackaged - the eco-friendly company now print directly on to the glass instead of using labels, making it easier to recycle.

naked cherry palette

When we heard that the legendary Urban Decay Naked Palette had been discontinued, we felt slightly mournful. But we needn't have worried, as there's a new counterpart in its place - The Naked Cherry. As the name suggests, it contains brownish, raspberry tones in both matte and metallic finishes. Get your party look perfect now!
