As a Fashion Editor, I've recently purchased more beauty products than clothing—here are 19 that I don't regret at all.

      Although I may not be a beauty editor by profession, my passion for beauty products is profound, and I find it increasingly challenging to resist new launches. As a fashion editor, it's clear that I love shopping for clothes, shoes, and accessories, but my focus has shifted away from summer apparel over the last month as I eagerly anticipate fall collections. I've been much more preoccupied with discovering the latest beauty items to arrive on the market. (It’s a fact: not a single day passes without me checking the Just Dropped section on Sephora.) Among all the beauty products I’ve explored this summer (and there are many), around 20 have left me wondering how I ever managed without them. I even had to add a few new makeup bags to my collection and cleared a shelf in my medicine cabinet to accommodate them. Some of my favorites include the new Rare Beauty lip gloss, the creamy Summer Fridays blush and brush, the much-talked-about Fara Homidi bronzer, and several others. Continue reading to see why I believe these new beauty products are worth purchasing, and shop for them yourself.

      **ILIA Soft Focus Blurring Blush**

      I’m a huge fan of blushes. Whenever a brand I like introduces a new blush formula, you can bet I’ll be first in line to try it. The latest powder blush that caught my attention is Ilia's Soft Focus Blurring Blush. (The name sold me.) It seamlessly blends into the skin, which is something I can't often say about powder blushes. I particularly love the shades Breathless and Wonder, but every shade is beautiful and easy to wear.

      **Dieux Mini Air Angel Collagen & Peptide Hydrating Gel Cream**

      I find great joy (relatively speaking) when one of my favorite products is released in a mini, travel-friendly version. Dieux Air Angel is my perfect moisturizer for any season—it’s lightweight yet noticeably hydrating, and it works well with other skincare items and makeup. It leaves a blurred, nearly matte finish. (And don’t overlook the new mini Instant Angel; I’ll be taking it on all my upcoming cold-weather trips.)

      **Fara Homidi Essential Bronzer Compact**

      Bronzer has never been a must-have for me, but I couldn't overlook the excitement surrounding this one. Once I tried it, I was amazed by how effortlessly it blended into my skin and how natural it appeared. Being fair-skinned, I chose the shade Bois, which is delightfully more neutral than warm—a rarity for bronzers. The brush is also fantastic, allowing for targeted or all-over application.

      **rhode Pocket Blush Tan Line**

      If you were to ask me how many Rhode Pocket Blush shades I own, I would say it's too many. Nevertheless, I didn’t hesitate to order the new Tan Line shade right away. It’s the ideal rosy summer hue that looks even more stunning when paired with the aforementioned bronzer. (Just a note: I called it a summer shade, but I intend to wear it all year long for a sun-kissed glow.)

      **Crown Affair The Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner Duo**

      Although I wouldn’t classify my hair as oily, I’ve found it to be rather flat and thin this summer, and my usual hydrating shampoos and conditioners haven’t been effective. I had heard excellent things about Crown Affair's volumizing duo, and I can now confirm it lives up to the hype. It gives my hair bounce, lightness, and an airy feel—exactly what I was seeking.

      **Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss**

      I thought I had left sparkly lip glosses behind, but the new Rare Beauty Positive Light gloss genuinely impressed me. The shimmer is subtle and lovely, with no trace of chunky glitter. I first ordered it in Glimmer, then returned for Dazzle (yes, the blue one) because I was so taken with it.

      **CYKLAR Naked Neroli Perfume Oil**

      The new Naked Neroli was my first experience with those Cyklar perfume oils that everyone raves about, and I now understand the appeal. It’s a delightful, fresh summer scent that’s softly floral and suited for any occasion, day or night. I appreciate that I can toss it in my bag for reapplications throughout the day and I’m already planning which scents to try next.

      **Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm Hydrating Cream Blush With Peptides**

      Yes, I'm mentioning another blush. This one is the new cream blush from Summer Fridays, and it’s as buttery as the name suggests. I initially thought it wouldn’t last long, especially in summer, but I was mistaken. It wears beautifully all day, and I particularly enjoy layering it over other, more matte blushes to introduce a touch of dewiness. I’ve been using Sweet Rosé and Toasted Terracotta, and I'm
