Own October With These Life-Changing New Beauty Buys

Admitted: I have a serious crush on NYC jewelry designer Alexis Bittar. It's not a Ryan Gosling-type of thing — but rather, I've been obsessed with his statement jewelry for years. So when he teamed up with Sephora on three holiday pieces (a brush set, a travel brush and case, and a luxe mirror), I was pumped. My favorite pick out of the Studio 54-inspired offering is this brush and bag set ($58, available Oct. 16). The brush has the softest bristles set against a 24-karat plated gold and lucite handle studded with Swarovski crystals. The suede pouch is perfect for toting the blush tool or your baubles.
