9 Best (New!) Beauty Buys for September

Say buh-bye to beachy, summer beauty and hellooo to fall with the brand-new products we're loving right now
Did I mention I love a good skin care study? Boots just completed a 6-year, 1000-woman trial, and through this research, they developed a skin-brightening complex with kiwi and vitamin C, as well as an antioxidant blend with mulberry and ginseng. Then, they created the Illuminate Day and Night Serums, which work on everything from dark spots and wrinkles to texture. After studying the serum, they noted a significant difference in the skin just four weeks. These products are geared for women 45-plus, and I'm more than a decade shy of that age, but I still plan to slather it on.

I just dropped my empty grapefruit body wash container into the recycling bin and replaced it with this fig scent from Jonathan Adler. The fragrance is warm without being too wintery -- perfect for the summer-fall transition -- and I love the fig leaf on the bottle.

If you've ever gone for a run with a 20-dollar bill stuffed down your sports bra, you will love this zippered headband.. Gone are the days of handing over a sweaty bill to pay for your water, juice, or iced coffee. Tuck your money in this headband and it stays nice and dry -- and there's zero worry that your dough will bounce out of your top somewhere along your route.

September might just be the best month of the year. Sure, we all mourn the end of summer, but then there's New York Fashion Week, back-to-school, and cooler weather -- the energy is infectious. I start my boots-and-sweaters Pinterest board, plan an apple-picking excursion, and toss out my grimy old bronzers, sunscreens, and grapefruit-scented body washes.

You've heard it before: you need to update your beauty routine as the seasons change. But September can be tricky -- it's still too, well, summery for heavy moisturizers and pine-scented candles. The key is to transition gradually. Swap out your skin care and hair products (because you'll need to undo the damage you did over the last three months), and clean out your makeup bag to make room for the new fall palettes.

September is a major shopping month, so consider this your game plan for getting the best new beauty products launching this month.
