It may be approaching summer over here, but think of those poor souls up in the northern hemisphere for a second. Nothing but dull, dreary skies for the foreseeable and only the promise of their local café serving up pumpkin spice lattes for comfort (and that highly-anticipated, globally recognised National Pumpkin Spice Latte Day in the US...), so it’s little wonder the pumpkin spice obsession has spilt over (quite literally) from hot beverages to beauty.
If you’ve never cared for the western delicacy that is the pumpkin-spiced latte, but have always dreamt of your beauty products being scented with the autumnal equivalent of eggnogg, then you’re going to love the micro trend currently doing the rounds in the beauty world.
No longer is an eyeshadow palette deemed worthy of our application by merely its shade repertoire, nor our face masks effective by using only scientifically proven ingredients. No, what we need is to be doused in pumpkin spice-smelling products.
Yes, it’s weird, and no, we can’t really relate to the global phenomenon that is pumpkin spice (largely because we don’t really get it… and because our weather is pretty freaking great for the most part), but it’s a 20 out of 10 in the fun department—and we’ll be damned if we can’t have a little fun with our beauty.
Set aside some of your pay check, you’re gonna want to pick up what we’re putting down; these are the three must-have pumpkin spice-scented products you need right now.
Native Pumpkin Spice Deodorant
View this post on InstagramK-beauty brand Too Cool For School is highly regarded amongst beauty buffs for two things; their cute-as packaging and their hard-working products. Ahead of their time, TCFS’s hero range is (funnily enough) their pumpkin collection. These guys are more so about harnessing the naturally derived vitamin A and C, than capturing the essence eau de squash, but we can’t resist their pumpkin 24k gold sheet mask that promises dewy, radiant-looking skin.
Here's the top three beauty trends from the SS19 runways.
