Just like fall clothing, fall products beckon and tempt until you just can’t say no. Of course, you can’t say yes to all of them, either. That’s why we chose a few standouts that caught our fancy for one reason or another. Who can resist a cosmetics bag in the official Color of the Year? Or a bottle of new nail polish named She Wolf?

She Wolf Polish; Cymbidium Polish
Nail colors have pulled out all the stops. First it was reds so dark they read black, then blues, greens and now yellows, as in eco-friendly Faby’s Cymbidium. And the notion of what is ‘neutral’ has been expanded to include colors like Deborah Lippmann’s She Wolf, a cool grey-lavender.
Faby Nature, $19.90 at fabynails.com | Deborah Lippmann, $18, at Sephora and Nordstrom
