Summers end is full of folly – a timid balance between days of blazing humid heat and enchanting swirls of cooler leafy breezes. Wardrobes of sarongs and swimsuits give way to our long lost cable knits and corduroys. Trips to beaches evolve to bonfires, while summer Fridays fall into Friday night football. As the nostalgia of fall begins, so does Sephora’s fall evolution – summer essentials are swapped for the newest colors, curlers and stylish essentials, the beauty regimen morphs once again. 
Fall is the perfect season to come back to nature as earthy tones envelop our imagination. The Urban Decay Naked Palette is the perfect answer to a new neutral look. A gorgeous combo of 12 shadows in gold and brown shades offer a bevy of bronzy looks. $44.
Take natural to a new level with the Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette. Inspired by Laura’s work with celebrities, the shades included in this palette give you an immediate healthy glow. We covet the new Glow Veils, which give a subtle brightened look, and partnered with the Cheek or Bronzer Veil, you will look autumn fresh. $48.
Heavy metal never looked so good. The new Sephora by OPI Rocker Chic Collection, inspired by the tough and edgy side of the classic neutrals, includes fall’s must have purple called Just a Little Dangerous. Deep wine with a metallic shimmer will not only change your “look” it will change your IMAGE. $18
Rockin’ nails must be partnered with statement lips. Store the gloss and grab the new MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Intense. With 50% more pigment than the average lipstick, available in 50 color saturated hues, and three different textures, the collection leaves you with endless lipstick options. $19.
If the summer has left your skin breakout prone, try the Bliss No ‘Zit’ Sherlock Complete Acne System. This daily system has probiotics like meadowseed and yogurt extract to boost your skin’s natural defenses against bacteria. Breakouts, beware! $32
If you are looking to calm and tighten your post-summer skin, look no fur- ther than the BOSCIA Luminizing Black Mask. Peel this jet-black mask off to reveal exceptionally luminous skin. Willowherb calms inflammation, witch hazel tightens pores, while jojoba leaf fights free radical damage. $34
The new SULTRA Bombshell Curling Rod features special Kyocera® ceramic technology to create smooth, sultry waves without the unwanted lines you get from traditional irons, and in half the time. $130.
For those who crave ponytail perfection, you have met your match! HER- CUT has made the timeless tail even better with their Ponytail Styling Lotion. This emollient-rich formulation smoothes and controls straight or wavy hair and elimi- nates fly-away strands, while amino acids provide a high gloss shine (without adding weight or residue).
Pucci gives us another beautiful reason to wardrobe, fragrance wardrobe that is. Introducing Miss Pucci, a gorgeous floral sparkling fragrance that includes notes of magnolia, Sicilian winter lemon, Turkish rose, Arabian jasmine and Texas cedar. It’s as complex, unique and gorgeous as a namesake print from the luxury design house. $53 – $89.
