Fall in Montreal never fails to introduce a palette of new colours to the city’s landscape. Summer fashion and the season’s beauty trends are swiftly swept off the streets as soon as the first few leaves hit the ground. This fall, switch up your beauty routine to match the season with four top-rated releases at Sephora.

This limited edition warm brick matte finish shade is perfect for warming up any fall makeup look. The lipstick’s formula is hydrating so it will protect your lips from the cool weather. As a bonus, one application will make it through a full school day untarnished.
Like the rest of Kat Von D’s brand, this lipstick is vegan and cruelty-free. The cherry on top of this ethical liquid lipstick sundae is that 20 per cent of the retail price goes directly to Project Chimps, an organization working to help retire biomedical research chimpanzees into a comfortable life of freedom.

This new mascara could be the answer to all of our mascara prayers. It is a long-wear product that keeps your lashes looking freshly styled. The formula is smudge-free and blends well for those of us who like to layer mascara for maximum lash volume. This fall, ditch your straight mascara wand and embrace Ciaté’s hourglass-shaped wand for beautiful lashes all season long.

Maintaining your sun-kissed mane throughout autumn doesn’t require a harsh shampoo and conditioning routine. This fall, introduce your hair to a simple shampoo that is gluten-, paraben- and sulfate-free.
This cruelty-free shampoo and conditioner works best on straight and wavy hair. The product’s clean formula won’t dry out your hair and will give you weightless volume until summer rolls around again.
4. Bite Beauty Multistick
Retails for $28.00
Sephora.ca reviewers rate four and a half stars
Available in Montreal stores
Here’s a do-it-all product that just might be your saving grace when getting yourself ready on a chilly Monday morning. As an added bonus, there are 18 neutral and blush colours to choose from.
This product was meant for mornings on the go, when an intricate makeup application is the last thing on a girl’s mind. The Multistick looks like a simple makeup tube but its powdery application can serve as lipstick, blush or eye shadow. It can be applied with your fingers or, if you’re feeling up to the task, with a brush.
