31 New Beauty Products To Try For Every Day In August
I recently came to the realization that August is, in fact, the best month: It’s Leo season (so you better unleash that inner lioness). It’s Pumpkin Spice Latte season (the PSLs are coming, people). It’s the perfect mix of summer fun (beach days!) and pre-fall excitement (booties!). And this year, it’s a month of seriously good skincare, makeup, and hair care launches — like these 31 new August 2019 beauty products.
On one side of the spectrum, you have the beauty brands still leaning hard into summer. Naturopathica’s Oat and Calendula Soothing Jelly Mist, landing Aug. 1, is a must for cooling sunburned skin; while Gabriel Cosmetics’ Disco Mood Nail Collection, coming Aug. 8, has all the bright teal polish your monthly manis desire. Then, there are the brands looking forward to fall. Chanel Beauty recently launched its Fall-Winter 2019 Collection, complete with the Transparent Shimmering Gel, a gold-flecked gloss for the face and décolleté, and a fresh shade of its Longwear Nail Colour: Pure Black. Hourglass Cosmetics’ fall range is already here as well, and the Arch Brow Micro Sculpting Pencil is truly a brow lover's dream.
Ahead, 31 fresh beauty buys — one for every day of the month, of course — that prove August is, indeed, the best month of them all.
