Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions Blur + Repair Cream
Did you know dry skin can accentuate aging signs such as wrinkles and dullness? To keep your skin looking bouncy, radiant and supple, pick a moisturizer that will deliver deep and lasting hydration. I suggest the new Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Derminfusions Blur + Repair Cream ($68 at Sephora.com), an ultra-hydrating cream that instantly blurs pores and smooths fine lines, deeply moisturizing while also visibly plumping and firming skin.
Not only does this moisturizer instantly transform skin, but the formula is really lightweight, making it ideal for this transitional period when the weather is still vacillating wildly and we don’t want anything too rich or dense on our skin.
The formula features a precise combination of clinically proven ingredients such as four different weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump skin; ceramides and shea butter to lock in moisture; and peptides and encapsulated resveratrol to enhance elasticity over time.
HPPY Skin Calm Mask
Did you know most skincare products are primarily comprised of water? Depending on the product, water can account for anywhere from 60 to 95% of the formula. Seems wrong when we pay such steep prices for our holy grail skincare products, right? Well, HPPY Skin set out to change this paradigm and deliver great products chockfull of active ingredients — no unnecessary water or filler — using fridge-fresh innovation.
HPPY Skin is the first and only brand to use a patented high-pressure processing technology called HPP that involves cold water pressure and safely preserves fresh nutrients without the need for heat or chemicals. This HPP technology translates into potent and undiluted formulas rife with fresh active ingredients that are more bioavailable and therefore more effective.
As we transition into autumn, you’ll want to stock your fridge with the new HPPY Skin Calm Mask, a nourishing, soothing, and softening mask that’s ready to tackle any skin flare-ups like redness, breakouts, and more. The cryo mask contains ingredients like: banana, which moisturizes and gently exfoliates skin; centella flower, which helps to calm irritation, reduce redness and stimulate hyaluronic acid production; and lavender, which has soothing, moisturizing, and anti-microbial properties.
Each mask is $16 or you can get 5 masks for $56 on HPPYskin.com
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Diamond Filler Cheek & Lip Color
We’re all obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter and her signature makeup look — particularly her dewy pink cheeks. Well, here’s a great product to help you pull off a Sabrina-inspired blush look! This is the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Diamond Filler Cheek & Lip Color, and it’s a weightless serum-to-cream color that can be applied to both cheeks and lips to give them a pop of radiant color.
The formula is infused with Lustrous Diamond Dust for a light-diffusing effect and a luminous finish, and it contains an exclusive Plumping Complex that makes cheeks and lips appear fuller and smoother, minimizing fine lines and giving your makeup a youthful coquettish vibe.
It’s $13.49 at H-E-B, Target, ULTA and on PhysiciansFormula.com
Lottie London Serving Lash Mascara
After flaunting a lot of skin-forward, laid-back, minimalist makeup looks during the summer months, it’s finally the time to play with bolder, more dramatic makeup. And whether you’re going for a gothic glam or glittery Y3K look, you’ll need striking lashes to complete the effect. Enter the the Lottie London Serving Lash Mascara ($7.98 at Walmart stores and on Walmart.com), an ultra-pigmented mascara with a super-volumizing and buildable formula. The mascara wand’s hourglass-shaped brush helps to magnify lashes, adding volume and definition and creating an impactful false lash effect.
The vegan and cruelty-free formula lasts up to 24 hours with no flaking or smudging, so it’s great for the busy fall season — whether you have a long work day ahead or you’re hitting up a concert or fall festival!
L’Oréal Paris Colorsonic Device and Cartridges
Fall tends to be a busy season, which makes it difficult (not to mention expensive and inconvenient!) to visit the hair salon every few weeks for a root touch-up or a color refresh. Well, luckily, you can touch up your color from the comfort of home knowing you’ll enjoy salon-worthy results thanks to the L’Oréal Paris Colorsonic device, a groundbreaking at-home hair coloring tool with over 29 patents.
Colorsonic delivers the freshest formula possible by mixing the dye and developer in a perfect 1:1 ratio at the moment you press the button. It features oscillating smart bristles that automatically part your hair and deposit the formula right at the root, then evenly distribute color as you brush your hair to ensure your hair color looks uniform and radiant.
In addition to the device, L’Oreal Paris launched the Colorsonic Cartridge —its first multi-use hair color cartridge. Each cartridge delivers up to 3 root touch-ups or 1 full-head application. And unlike box dyes where any remaining color has to be tossed, these cartridges allow you to save any unused color until the next application.
Available in 20 expertly crafted shades, the cartridges feature salon-inspired formulas that are free of ammonia, silicones and parabens.
The Colorsonic Device retails for $124.99 while each cartridge is $29.99 at lorealparisusa.com and Target.
Juice Plus+ Luminate
Does it feel like everyone is constantly on “go” mode come September? Well, to feel mentally and physically prepared to tackle a hectic fall season, Juice Plus+ has launched Luminate, a powerful plant-based productivity supplement with naturally sourced ingredients that support mental clarity, focus and energy — all with rapid results.
Juice Plus+ Luminate contains naturally occurring caffeine from coffee berry, powerful adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola and nootropics like lion’s mane mushroom. These ingredients work together to help you feel energized and keep you focused and on task, boosting your productivity.
Luminate comes in convenient single-serving packs that you can stash in your purse, in your backpack, or at your office desk and mix with water whenever you need a pick-me-up!
A 15-count box is $45 on juiceplus.com
Electrolit Electrolyte Beverage
From football and soccer to volleyball and cross country, the fall sports season has officially commenced, which means it’s time to stock up on Electrolit, a top-notch rehydration and sports recovery drink. This premium hydration beverage is scientifically formulated to replenish the body after physical activity, intense heat, or a night out partying. It contains magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium glucose, and sodium lactate plus six ions that facilitate electrolyte absorption, helping you stay properly hydrated.
Remember: water is not enough to replenish the body after an intense sports match, a long run, a grueling lifting session, or any other activity that involves sweating profusely and hence losing electrolytes. To replace these components, it’s necessary to reach for an electrolyte beverage like Electrolit, which is available in a variety of flavors including Strawberry Kiwi, Orange, Grape, Horchata, Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry, and more.
Plus, Electrolit is headquartered in Houston, and it’s a sponsor for Austin City Limits, so it’s a great brand with strong Texas roots!
You can find Electrolit at H-E-B, Walmart, Circle K and on Amazon.

Made with real ingredients from Blake’s own homemade recipes, this gourmet-inspired bourbon cocktail features a ripe peach flavor paired with a dollop of honey and fresh mint.
