Bobbie Thomas' fall beauty products seen on TODAY
For the "it" lip
Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Lipstick + Lip Liner Crayon
According to Thomas, one of Ilia's Sketch Crayon is sold every 20 seconds. If that doesn't convince you enough, the lip pencil has sold out multiple times since its April launch. It might be because of its smooth glide, long-lasting wear or all of the above.
Plus, if you use TODAY10 on brand's site, you can receive 10% off sitewide.
Ere Perez Coco Crayon
Looking for a multi-purpose product? This lip crayon from Ere Perez is hydrating and flexible enough to be used on the lips and cheeks for a one-and-done look.
Ulta Beauty Collection Dual-Ended Lipstick & Liner
For touch-ups on-the-go, use Ulta Beauty's dual-ended liner. One side has your classic lip pencil, and the other hosts a creamy lipstick. According to the retailer, this product should save on searching for a matching lip combo.
Refy Lip Sculpt Lip Liner and Setter
Lip liner doesn't always stay in place, but Refy's Lip Sculpt promises to remain on your pout all day long with just their unique 'seal,' according to the brand. On one end is a twist up lip liner, and the other contains the setter that helps maintain the product's long-lasting, matte formula.
For a fresh face you can feel good about
Hppy Skin Masks
“During the COVID pandemic, Hppy Skin founder Hannah Penn, who was struggling with acne, was inspired by her family’s grocery business,” Thomas begins. “If foods could retain nutrients through cold pressure, skin care might too. Hppy Skin captures active ingredients at peak potency using cold pressure technology, without preservatives.”
Thomas particularly likes the brand's face masks, which come in a variety of options. From calming breakouts to brightening dull skin, there seems to be a HPPY Skin mask for the most skin common skin concerns. In fact, the mask comes in four different formulas: Refresh, Rewind, Calm and Clarity. All of which use fresh ingredients for the freshest results, so it best to store in your fridge — not your shelf.
For eye-cat-ching manicures
ILNP Light Teddy Bear Brown Magnetic Holographic Nail Polish
Don't just stick to solid colors for fall — your nails deserve to sparkle. Use this magnetic, holographic polish from ILNP that suits Thomas' predicted polish trend, which, with two to three layers, mimics a soft velvet plush. But if you're still unsure what color to get, you can shop ILNP's entire magnetic nail polish line here.
Olive & June Sheer Lavender Shimmer Glue Press-Ons
If you're tight on time or want to avoid a trip to the nail salon (or both!), consider these press-on nails from Olive & June. The brand has been featured many times on the show because of their ease, application and variety. You can also choose from multiple shades — such as this iridescent lilac — shapes (almond, square, etc.) and lengths (extra short, medium, etc.), which you can shop here.
Olive & June Velvet Obsessed Glue Press-Ons
Prefer a longer nail? Thomas also recommends these medium-length press-ons from the brand. They come in a true deep red, which is perfect for fall.
For impressive innovations
Tippy Type Keyboard Cover
“A redesign you never knew you needed,” says Thomas, who notes that Sara Young, the founder of The Tippy Type keyboard cover, invented “the first ergonomic design created with longer nails in mind.”
"The patent-pending, silicone topper elevates your keyboard making room for your almond, round, or square-oval tips," notes Thomas, and is compatible with most standard keyboards. You'll be able to protect your manicure without worrying about a potential typo.
More fall beauty products to shop
Huron SPF 30 Face Moisturizer
Back in May of this year, Thomas recommended this moisturizer for her beloved series Bobbie's Bests for Less. Although she recommended it during the summer months, SPF application is an important step year-round. This one will both protect and moisturize.
Neutrogena Ultra Light Face Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover
To completely get rid of makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and grime, using an oil cleanser, such as this Thomas-approved one from Neutrogena, can help break down impurities without compromising your skin. Use it as your first step to your double cleansing routine, following with your favorite facial cleanser.
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
If you're looking for a new cleanser for your double cleansing routine, Thomas previously recommended this find from CeraVe to gently cleanse and soothe the skin.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
Because fall and winter comes with cool weather, you'll want a light foundation to maintain your skin's hydration. Enter Danessa Myricks' Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder: an award-winning balm-to-powder foundation that promises natural and smooth coverage — and also a favorite of Thomas'. You'll notice it will apply like a balm, but as it sits, it will set like a powder all-day, according to the brand.
