August 2018: New Sephora Beauty Product Releases

Purples and neutrals are trending as we near the end of summer and transition into fall, as depicted by the August 2018 new Sephora beauty product releases. Back-to-school season is also the perfect time to boost your skincare routine to help you control stress from affecting your skin. Even if you’re not going back to school, like me, life throws us all curveballs — thank goodness Mercury retrograde is over — and stressors, including dry weather, that make it extra important for us to stay on top of our skincare regimen.

Here are my top ten picks of August releases I think you all will enjoy. This list is organized by release date. Make sure to sign up for email notifications at Sephora.com to get notified when these products launch!

8. Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Virgo

Release Date: August 23

$26

Each month this year, Bite Beauty releases a new lipstick based on the corresponding zodiac sign. Virgo is a bold grape-red with a creamy formula and citrus flavor. This shade is a smart hue that goes with everything, which makes sense considering Virgos are earth signs which are discliplined and demand perfection and order all around them. Even though I’m a Capricorn, I’m still smitten by this shade. Good thing I can buy it without being a Virgo.

9. Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum

$89

Reduce the effects of daily stress on your skin with Murad’s Revitalixir Recovery Serum, a face and eye serum that instantly revives skin.

  • Niacinamide and neuropeptide: refine expression lines and texture
