Fall is officially here—at least in my little part of the world—and it has me itching to level up my beauty routine. Lucky for me (and you), Nordstrom’s September beauty promo comes at just the right time. From today, September 16, through Wednesday, September 23, the retailer is offering 15 percent off beauty—just in time to stock up for the season.
The savings event includes deals on basically everything, with few exceptions. That means a decent fraction off on everything from cult-classics such as the can-never-have-too-many Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pencil and everyone’s favorite Donna Karan Deodorant to brand-new launches including Guerlain’s new fragrance and Charlotte Tilbury’s blurring blush, not to mention plenty of 2026 NewBeauty Award winners.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up 17 products that might change your beauty routine for the better this season, including a new fragrance to spritz on daily, a lipstick with a subtle fall twist and plenty more.

This blush’s blur effect might just shock you. It melts into skin with zero harsh lines, so you get that airbrushed, filter-like finish without any actual filter. It’s Charlotte Tilbury’s newest release, and the shade lineup is perfect for fall.

This pick practically speaks for itself because, I mean, can you ever really have enough backstock to make it through the full season? (Kudos if you can—teach me your ways.) Whether you scoop it up for yourself or as a gift for a lucky loved one, it’s sure to make your home smell like autumn and lift spirits on impact.

I can’t be the only one who could benefit from having a brow pencil in every room of my home. This one’s famously an MVP: a super-slim pencil on one side that mimics the look of real hair, with a retractable design so it never breaks, and a brush on the other end to blend it all out.

4 / 17
The aesthetics of this hairbrush are covetable in their own right, but beyond looks, it performs. It uses a mix of boar and nylon bristles distributes oils to boost your hair’s shine, while detangling at the same time. Many people call it the best brush they’ve ever used.

Korean wrapping masks keep going viral (you coat your skin in a thin film that peels off in one satisfying sheet), and Medicube’s 2026 NewBeauty Award-winning Kojic Acid Turmeric Night Wrapping Mask is our top pick for serious brightening power.
In clinical testing, it visibly evened out skin tone by nearly 25 percent after just three days.

Consider this your permission slip to buy a new lipstick for the new season. This one’s a 2026 NewBeauty Award winner, and as our former managing editor put it, “it ticks all the boxes: it delivers that blurred, just-kissed look without drying out my lips or settling into creases.”

If a professional peel isn’t in the cards right now, this longtime best-seller gives you what you need to safely do one at home. It’s a two-step system, with a peel pad packed with AHA/BHA acids as the first step to exfoliate and smooth skin, and an antioxidant-rich neutralizing pad as the second, which balances out the acid’s pH and helps hydrate and firm skin. You can expect smoother, brighter skin from the very first use, with fine lines, pores and tone continuing to improve the more consistently you use it.

ICYMI, coffee notes are trending in fragrance, and this one is one of our favorite ways to wear the trend. It boasts notes of coffee, lavender essence and milk mousse accord, which come together like an actual coffee shop.

9 / 17
Running out of this shampoo basically signifies it’s going to be a bad day in my household, so stocking up is a non-negotiable over here, especially once fall hits. The peppermint oil makes your scalp feel almost icy for a second, which is weirdly the most satisfying feeling once the heat comes on and your scalp starts feeling tight and itchy from all that dry indoor air. It still deep-cleans without leaving hair feeling stripped, so you get that reset without the trade-off.
PS: Pair it with the also-on-sale PHILIP B Peppermint Avocado Conditioner ($44, was $52) and thank me later.

This is the biggest size available of Elemis’s beloved cleansing balm, and if you haven’t tried it yet, trust that you’ll be relieved you bought the giant one while it’s on sale. A little goes a long way—it melts off makeup like it’s nothing, with a buttery texture and a spa-like scent that feels straight-up luxurious, like the skin-care version of a sweet treat after a long day.

11 / 17
If you need a deodorant restock for fall, it might as well be with the best. I’m biased, but I’ve tried them all, and this is hands-down the best-working and most luxurious in my experience. It smells like power, glides on like silk and lasts all day.

As seen in our roundup of new fragrance launches for September, Guerlain’s first women’s fragrance in ten years, built around a scent that’s hard to pin down: the “blue hour,” that in-between moment when the sky isn’t quite day or night. It’s also the first time the house has centered a fragrance on this specific iris tincture, three years in the making. On skin it opens crisp with pear and neroli, warms into jasmine and iris, then settles into a cozy vanilla-and-musk base—perfect for layering under a coat once the air turns cold.

13 / 17
It doesn’t get much more viral than this Hourglass mascara. It’s a tubing formula that fakes the look of lash extensions, stays put without flaking all day and slides off easily with warm water when you’re ready to take it off.

14 / 17
For lashes you won’t believe are your own, Grande Cosmetics’ lash serum is the one to covet. Reviewers are constantly raving about their before-and-afters, and they’re easy to find whether you look on TikTok, Instagram, the reviews section—you name it.

15 / 17
For those eyeing the ever-popular blush sticks, Armani’s is a new one to covet, as proclaimed by our editorial director, who wrote that it “goes on with the glide of a cream—no dragging, no patchiness—and sets to a soft-matte finish that holds for up to seven hours.” On pale skin, she added, “the cream phase is everything, mainly because it lets me control the payoff. One swipe gives you a barely-there flush; two swipes build to something more vivid. Neither looks powdery or overdone.”

The beloved Buttercup just got its first major update in 13 years, and it comes with a feature we haven’t seen before: customizable ion levels, so you can dial up shine and frizz control if your hair’s on the thicker side, or dial it back if you’re fine-haired and don’t need the extra oomph. It also switches automatically between warm and cool air, so you’re less likely to fry your ends, it dries hair noticeably faster and it folds down small enough to justify packing for a trip.

A savings event is the perfect time to splurge on the big stuff, since the small percentages are more significant. This one earned a spot on our September launch list because of how it handles barrier repair. Instead of just soothing surface-level irritation, this serum is built around a proprietary complex studied at the cellular level. La Prairie says it can reawaken the skin’s own dormant repair pathways, not just patch things up temporarily.
