September has arrived - ok, so it’s sad that the Summer has finally drawn to a close but you know what? We secretly love September at allbeauty HQ!

With the kids going back to school, it’s a good time to flick the reset button and find some new routines and fashion inspiration… beauty looks included, of course.

Take a look at this month’s Smile Edit, get out your list of the beauty products you’re looking to stock up on and let’s celebrate the start of new beginnings.

NARCISO FOR HER

With September 2021 playing Host to a mini Met Gala and New York Fashion Week, it seems like a great moment to celebrate Narciso Rodriguez - one of the ultimate names in American fashion royalty.

From designing Carolyn Besette Kennedy’s wedding dress in 1996 to being a key favourite designer of Michelle Obama, Narciso Rodriquez has been a key player in America’s fashion story for over two decades. The timeless elegance of Narciso’s designs embrace femininity, as well as the architecture and chic design of the Big Apple itself.

In 2003, Narciso created his first fragrance - For Her - which won the 2003 British FiFi Award for Best New Fragrance. Delicate, musky and classy, this is the kind of fragrance that Blair Waldorf would definitely have worn on the steps of the Met for her first day back to school. With top notes of rose and peach, a heart of amber and musk and a base of patchouli and sandalwood, this floral chypre fragrance is pure, understated elegance in a bottle.

AT1 LUMINATING SERUM

Unleash the glow that lies beneath with the At1 Luminating Serum.

This is a serum that really packs a punch... of the fruity variety!

Designed to be used as part of a morning and evening skincare routine, this serum also contains one of our favourite Autumn Beauty heroes - hyaluronic acid - to plump the skin from within.

Each At1 product is lightly fragranced with a 100% natural blend of lemon, mandarin, orange, bergamot, rosemary, thyme and cedarwood, for the ultimate in refreshing luxury skincare experiences. Discover the rest of the At1 range here.
