At the start of each season, my mom will reach out with a simple question: What beauty products do I need to know about right now? She’s loyal to her favorite brands (hi, Yise), but she’s always game to swap in a buzzy new arrival, especially when her beauty-editor daughter can vouch for its results. I am but an in-house guinea pig! I usually send her a few Sephora and Bluemercury picks since she likes to do all her shopping in one fell swoop, but this go-around, I went ahead and starred some “can’t miss” items from Revolve. If you haven’t yet perused the fashion retailer’s beauty section, let me tell you: It’s stellar right now. As brands roll out their early holiday offerings, including exclusive bundles and limited-edition shades, the new-arrivals tab is chock-full of soon-to-be best sellers I know will sell out within the week. My mom has been warned, and I’m officially passing along the alert.
Below, find the 11 products I wholly recommend buying before they fly off the shelves. For those who want to snag some fashion staples, too, while they’re at it, I’ll leave you with this list of editor-curated fall pieces. Happy browsing!

Okay, how cute is this heart-shaped powder puff? I love a pink setting powder for brightening the under-eyes, but this compact also comes in six other shades depending on your skin tone and makeup goals. It blurs like an absolute dream—perfect for my velvety “cloud skin” looks this fall.
This jammy Summer Fridays shade, dubbed Sugar Plum, just might be my favorite launch yet. It’s limited edition, so snag it while you still can.
The full WWW beauty team agrees: Salt & Stone bodycare products transform any bathroom into a five-star spa. The Bergamot & Hinoki scent is especially elevated, and this set has everything you need to really douse yourself in it.
Everybody needs to try GHD’s new AI-enhanced flat iron. If you think that phrase sounds gimmicky, I implore you to read my full review after testing it for 40 days.
My mom doesn’t love fragrance (unlike her, I feel naked without a spritz of perfume), but this new Abel x Tibi collaboration is so light and fresh that I bet she’d fall in love. Infused with aldehydes, sparkling timut pepper, and vetiver, it’s one of those fragrances that makes people think you just naturally smell good.
IMO, everyone needs a silky hand serum on their bedside table. I currently have three, but I admit that may be overkill. I adore Oak Essentials’ cashmere musk–scented formula, which also features grapevine stem cells to fade dark spots on the hands.
Hero Cosmetics is responsible for the best pimple patches to ever exist. I recommend them to everyone I know, and now, there’s a limited-edition wintry version to wear out and about. It’s an immediate add-to-cart item for yours truly.
My mom loves an eye shadow stick (same), and I know this trio of shimmery neutrals will become her newest fall makeup staple. Bonus points for the slanted tip, which allows you to trace precise areas, like the upper lash line or inner eye corners, for an “eye shadow as eyeliner” moment.
OleHenriksen’s Pout Preserve lippies completely deserve their viral status. They glide like butter and never leave my lips feeling sticky, and the shades and flavors are just so fun. The brand’s latest launch—Pomegranate Fizz, a pinky-red tint with subtle rose gold shimmer—is begging to be worn all fall and winter long.
My mom and I wholeheartedly agree: One can never have enough blush. I swear she’s trying out a new shade every time I see her, so I might as well add this baby Kosas number to her collection. That adorably mini size is A+ for our upcoming holiday travels.
No matter how exhausted I am, slapping on a set of shiny gold eye patches makes me feel like a million bucks. Is it a placebo effect? Perhaps, but the caffeine-, niacinamide-, and hyaluronic acid–soaked masks certainly make the eye area look bright and wide-awake. I know my mom will never say no to a luxurious little set like this.
