SEPTEMBER 2025
Hi beauties!
As summer wraps up and we settle into the rhythm of early fall, I’m feeling that classic back to school energy… new routines, fresh perspective and a craving for simplicity and some major newness. With Willow back in school, our household is easing into a cozier rhythm, and I’ve found myself reaching for products that bring comfort, elegance and high performance to my day-to-day rituals.
Behind the scenes, we’ve also been working on some exciting upgrades to the Citrine website (stay tuned!), and this season’s product lineup reflects that same energy: fresh, refined and elevated. This month's favorites are a dreamy blend of skincare, makeup and body care that I keep finding myself recommending to friends and clients. From a brand new concealer that has truly impressed me to a luxurious deodorant that’s become a fast best-seller in the Arizona heat, these are my top shelf picks for the transitional season ahead.
Let’s dive right in!
RMS never misses with complexion products. Their Revolve Natural Finish Foundation has been one of my forever holy grails since it came out a few years back and as many of you know, the Redimension Hydra Powder Blush are mainstays in my blush rotation, so it’s no surprise that I’m totally obsessed with this new concealer.
It’s creamy, radiant and has the perfect kind of flexible coverage that melts and moves into the skin rather than sitting on top of it so you’re never going to look cakey or overdone. It’s very ‘your skin but better’. With 16 shades, it’s one of the most inclusive clean options I’ve seen.

This is such an unsung hero and it deserves way more attention. It’s a staple among our team at Citrine, and I hear from so many of our clients that it’s become a quiet favorite in their routines too.
As someone who swears by double cleansing, this is one of my all time skin care secrets for maintaining a flawless, radiant complexion. Especially in Arizona’s heat, when we’re sweating, layering SPF and facing more environmental stressors… you are going to want to ensure you’re starting with a proper first cleanse. This is the one that effortlessly melts everything away. Makeup, pollution, oil, sunscreen, you name it. Skin is left feeling soft, nourished and never stripped.
The magic is in its formula. This cleanser features a nutrient-dense, water-activated gel texture packed with phyto-nutrients, micro-exfoliators, and botanical enzymes that detox, brighten and clarify without ever disrupting the skin barrier. Papaya and pineapple enzymes gently exfoliate, while whole plant extracts deliver protective antioxidant-rich nourishment and promote skin vitality. It also includes apple amino acids to support a healthy microbiome and cleanse without compromising pH. I love that my skin feels very clean but also balanced and supple.
I am sooo excited to finally welcome another haircare line to Citrine, especially one with as much cult status as Reverie. I chose this award-winning leave-in for my September favorite because it is silky, weightless and smells incredible. I’m such a fan of leave-ins because they keep hair protected and polished without the need for heavy styling and this has quickly become a staple in my haircare ritual.
It’s formulated with organic pracaxi seed oil for deep hydration, coconut-derived fatty acids to soften and condition plus a blend of 16 essential oils that make every application feel like a luxurious aromatherapy moment. It doesn’t weigh hair down or leave behind any residue which is rare to find in a leave in. Instead, you are left with shiny, smooth, healthy, frizz-free strands that feel pampered and look polished. My hair feels more manageable, more nourished and revived with every use. I definitely see how this is an award winning product from Reverie and I’m super excited that we have it on our shelves! You guys will also want to check out the rest of the Reverie line, they have some incredible hair care. Again, feel free to sign up for a complimentary consultation so we can help you select a ritual that feels right for your custom needs!
I highly recommend that you upgrade and elevate your deodorant game. The Axilla Orb from Tronque’s luxury body line isn’t just clean, it’s clinical-level effective and I am SO impressed with this product. This one has been flying off the shelves here and for good reason– it works. I love that it contains snowflake bulb extract, “nature’s Botox,” to help reduce sweat gland activity and firm the delicate underarm skin. I find that to be such a unique and innovative way to approach a deodorant. Paired with moisture-absorbing arrowroot powder, antibacterial silver and zinc and a really subtle, elevated scent profile that works beautifully on all genders, this formula is a standout. It keeps you confidently fresh even in the Arizona heat, and its sleek design makes it a vanity favorite. Love this one!
Ayuna is my skincare soulmate, and the new Nectar Eye & Lip Cream might be my favorite release yet. This is not your average eye treatment—it’s a high-tech, multi-sensory formula designed to mimic the radiance-boosting effects of light and touch. Powered by Living Stone stem cells, it enhances the skin’s ability to retain hydration while offering antioxidant protection against environmental stress. Vitamin D-like compounds—an Ayuna signature—help support elasticity and restore a luminous glow from within, while their proprietary probiotic ferments work to balance the microbiome and visibly smooth texture. Silky and plumping, it delivers instant freshness to tired eyes and a cushiony, refined finish to the lips—making it a must-have for both day and night rituals.
I hope this inspires a little beauty reset for you, too. Whether you’re heading back to work, sending little ones to school, or just craving a moment to tend to you, these products are all about creating moments of luxury, efficacy, and intentional care. As we continue this exciting season at Citrine—new store, new home, new rituals—I’m feeling more energized than ever.
Here’s to fresh starts and fall magic ✨
With love,
Melissa
