Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
We have finally made it to my favorite time of year and I couldn't be happier. Fall gives me an opportunity to lean in to get cozy and prioritize all the things that make me feel good. One the biggest ways I do this is by switching up my fragrance picks, skincare, makeup routine, and haircare to reflect my lifestyle. This year, it's all about luxury. That's right, we're talking paying little to no attention to the price tags and going all out for myself.
The best part? I'm not the type to gate keep my favorites. Below you'll find every single luxurious product across the previously mentioned categories that I'm planning to invest in for the autumn/winter season. If you're finally ready to embrace your inner Jasmine Tookes or Sofia Richie, you'll want to keep reading with your credit card at the ready! They scream quiet luxury in the best way.
I've said it once, and I'll proudly say it a million more times—this is the fall fragrance. Once the cold weather hits, I'm reaching for English Pear & Freesia nonstop. It truly is the perfect blend of juicy, just-ripe pears accompanied by a bouquet of white freesias and soothing amber and patchouli.
I may be a college graduate, but that doesn't stop me from loving all things academia-inspired. Byredo's Bibliothèque takes me right back to school by combining peach, plum, vanilla, patchouli and a hint of leather.
I'm all about incorporating elegance into my lifestyle in any way possible, and this Tocca perfume is the epitome of quiet luxury. The classic floral fragrance combines bergamot, pear, and gardenia for a scent that can be worn year-round but smells especially yummy when paired with fall weather.
This fall, I'm finally pulling the trigger and purchasing Le Labo's Bai 19. Not only has this crisp and clean smelling eau de parfum been on my wishlist forever, but I can't seem to go a week without obsessively adding it to my online shopping basket.
Sude and cashmere might make up the majority of quiet luxury-inspired wardrobes, but it's also present in a number of my favorite fragrances. Heretic's Dirty Suede blends velvet musks with balsam, jasmine, and soft amber for a scent that's as clean as it is sensual.
If you haven't included a face oil in your skincare routine yet, you're doing it wrong. I'm upgrading mine by incorporating this one from Chantecaille since its 100% natural formula is infused with powerful botanicals that lessen the appearance of fine lines while warding off signs of aging and brightening the complexion.
Do you want luxurious looking skin? Hydration is key. Koress' Santorini Grape Velvet Skin Drink is a resveratrol rich dry facial oil that will leave the skin feeling velvety smooth by restoring it with vital antioxidants and volcanic minerals.
Before you use another makeup wipe, consider incorporating this botanically based cleansing solution for waterproof makeup. Formulated to be used specifically on the eyes and lips, it effectively breaks down and removers makeup without causing irritation or stripping essential moisture.
Gel cleansers are a great way to keep your skin hydrated and healthy through the chilly months. I'm absolutely itching to get my hands on this nondrying gel cleanser that exfoliates using natural salicylic acid and hydrating grape oil.
This bestselling product from The Ordinary has been trending recently for all the right reasons: it uses 7% glycolic acid, amino acids, aloe vera, ginseng, and Tasmanian pepper berry to exfoliate and cleanse the skin. In other words, I'll be saying goodbye to my skin's uneven texture and dullness.
Pro tip: using a good primer to lock your makeup in place before applying a base ensures longer wear time. Hourglass' Mineral Veil Primer creates a smooth, even canvas for your makeup in addition to concealing redness, minimizes signs of aging, and provides broad spectrum SPF 15 protection.
If you're an avid reader of Who What Wear's makeup stories, you know our beauty editors are obsessed with this Armani Beauty foundation. Its oil-free formula delivers buildable medium coverage and a, luminous finish for a lit-from-within glow.
I've been loving makeup looks that include a natural-looking flush recently. The Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick in Bichette is the most gorgeous deep berry shade that, when buffed and blended, gives the ideal "my cheeks just got pinched" look.
Don't let the hefty price tag scare you away from this one. Chanel's Le Beiges line has been a favorite of mine, and the brand's Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette in Tender gives the prettiest flush of color with the perfect amount of added shimmer.
I'm usually not one for smoky eye looks, but this fall I'll definitely be experimenting with them more with the help of this eyeliner by Chantecaille. Its silky-smooth formula melts into the lash line for a long-lasting eye-enhancing effect that's transfer-proof. I'm also obsessed with the color payoff of this one.
I'm on my third bottle of Salt & Stone's bestselling Bergamot & Eucalyptus Body Wash, so I've decided it's about time I stock up for the season. Yes, it smells absolutely amazing but its formula is also infused with seaweed extracts and antioxidant-rich botanicals that leave my skin smooth and hydrated.
Summer Fridays may be known or their face masks, lip balms, and serums, but their ultra-nourishing body lotion is criminally underrated. It uses plant-derived butters, natural oils, and ceramides to soothe, hydrate, and moisturize the skin for hours on end.
The Body Serum is a hyaluronic acid treatments delivers hydrated and plump skin every time with niacinamide and ceramide to protect and strengthen the skin barrier. Fair warning: this one sells out fast so you should add it to your basket while you still can.
Milk-based skincare and body products have been everywhere lately and I'm all for it. Fresh's Milk Body Cleanser, for example, has a superstar, pH balanced formula featuring soothing plant-based milks, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E for all-day softness.
There's nothing more luxurious than ending my day with a lengthy, steam-filled shower wear I break out my favorite body scrubs. Ouai's Cleansing Scalp & Body Sugar Scrub is one of my favorites since it effectively exfoliates my scalp and skin while supporting micro-circulation.
I can't imagine a day when I won't be obsessed with the shine my hair gets from moisturizing creams like this one. Oribe's high-gloss, leave-in conditioner is designed to moisturize and tame frizz for medium to thick hair using the brand's signature complex, amino acids, and amber extract.
Your skin and hair will thank you for using a pure silk pillowcase in place of a cotton one. Why? Because silk fibers help keep your skin moisturized and don't pull and tangle your hair throughout the night. Silk also reduces friction on your delicate facial skin.
I'm thoroughly convinced this is one of the best hair oils money can buy. It's lightweight and formulated using just five ingredients (two of which includes tsubaki seed and meadowfoam seed oil). Deeply nourishing and hydrating, it also helps prevent frizz and flyaways.
I've seen this anti-frizz treatment by Color Wow all over my social media feeds, and can't wait to officially add this one to my haircare routine. A few spritzes of this on your tresses keeps hair glassy, silk, and frizz-free for days (lasting for up to four shampoo sessions).
I love it when my natural curls look ultra-defined and frizz-free. Adwoa's creamy, rich styler detangles strands to leave them shiny, silky, and smooth. Packed with nourishing ingredients like honey, silk amino acids, and shea butter; I can count on this cream to help my curly styles last all day.
Take it from someone who's spent 99% of her life in cold, rainy climates—a creamy, non-greasy hand cream can be the key to keeping your skin looking and feeling healthy. It also helps if whatever you choose to you smells amazing like Le Labo's Hinoki Hand Pomade.
This super hydrating hand cream restores and locks in moisture for even the most dry and brittle skin without leaving any greasy residue. Formulated with only nine ingredients, it's a must-have for anyone that works with their hands or lives in a chilly climate (which will be most of us on the western hemisphere during the cooler months).
Fall signifies the beginning of my candles all day, every day phase. I've been loving sandalwood fragrances lately, and have been planning on adding this Diptyque candle to my collection for a while. Because it's woodsy and lightly spicy, it makes for the small space fragrance.
You can never have enough candles. Lafaco New York's Chamomile Lavender Candle is my secret weapon to achieving a good night's sleep with a cozy blend of sparkling bergamot, chamomile, lavender, sage, patchouli, honey flower, and rosemary. It also has up to a 90 hour burn time.
If you don't already have a gorgeous reed diffuser by Diptyque in your space, take this as your sign to invest in one. I'll be adding their Mimosa fragranced one to mine (and buying a refill because I know I'll be using in nonstop).
