Somehow, we woke up this morning and our calendars say "November" across the top of them. Despite the fact that the year seems to be flying by as fast as ever, our editors have still found plenty of time to test out new beauty products. While last month's finds were pretty great, we have to admit: this month's latest launches might be even better.
As temperatures continue to dip, we've been stocking up on hydrating body care, anti-aging must-haves to keep skin firm, and makeup products to help us transition seamlessly between seasons.
We spritzed, sniffed, swatched, slathered, and sampled hundreds of products and are excited to share our favorites. Whether you're refreshing your skin-care routine for the colder months, searching for makeup that'll keep you "merry" all season long, or just getting a head start on holiday shopping, we've got you covered. Keep reading to discover the best new launches in makeup, skin care, body care, hair care, and fragrance that have officially earned a spot on our beauty counters.
Best Face Cleanser
Barefaced Barrier Balance Cream Cleanser ($35)
"As someone with sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin, I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open for simple skin-care products that are calming and effective. Barefaced just launched a new cleanser — the perfect formula for anyone who hates that stripped feeling that comes from so many different face washes. Made with ceramides and niacinamide, it's all about keeping your skin barrier healthy and hydrated." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Best Face Mask
Ultraceuticals B2 Hydrating Hydrogel Serum Mask ($30)
"This time of year, I hoard as many hydrating products as possible. My skin struggles to lock in moisture on a normal day, so the first hints of winter make it essential that I treat myself to a face mask multiple times a week. This hydrogel mask from Ultraceuticals was exactly what I needed. It stayed put for the full 15 minutes; it was juicy but not oversaturated, and left my skin with the supple glow I chase year-round. It is safe to say I will be adding this to my must-have sensitive skin rotation." — Adi Giesey, shopping writer
Best Skin-Care Set
Curology x Dove Cameron Ethereal Glow Set ($50)
"Dove Cameron just launched a collaboration with Curology, and it's something to behold. The set comes with everything you need for glowy skin: a moisturizer, a cleanser, a (blurring!) primer, and a lip treatment. Perfect for yourself or as a holiday gift." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Best Eye Patches
ESW Beauty x SmartSweets Sour Watermelon Under Eye Patches ($5)
"So, I'm a sucker for an eye patch, especially when they're cute. ESW Beauty just collaborated with SmartSweets, and they made the cutest watermelon-shaped under-eye patches. They're cooling and perfect for wearing while I do my eye makeup." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Best Mascara
Dibs Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo in Burgundy ($31)
"Burgundy mascara is having a major moment, and now Dibs' Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo comes with a burgundy primer on one and black mascara on the other. It's a tubing formula, which is my favorite kind. It lengthens and extends lashes without any flaking or smudging, but also comes off easily with warm water at the end of the day. You can wear the burgundy primer on its own for a subtle pop of color or layer the black mascara over it if you want a classic look." — Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty
Best Under-Eye Corrector
Jouer Brightening Under-Eye Corrector ($29)
"Jouer makes some of my favorite makeup products, and their latest, the Brightening Under-Eye Corrector, is no exception. It's a color-correcting formula that you can use before concealer, but I'm personally a fan of wearing it on its own. Not only is it hydrating and brightening, but it's also the only thing keeping me from looking like a full-on zombie right now." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Best Foundation
Tom Ford Architecture Soft Matte 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick ($60)
"I will always be a low-maintenance foundation girl. I want the ease and feel of a skin tint with the option to add heavier coverage on days I want to hide redness or blemishes. So it's no surprise that foundation sticks have had a rotating presence in my makeup bag. This new formula from Tom Ford is a dream. It feels whisper-thin and provides a buttery smooth, layerable tint that melts into your skin. If you are someone who prefers a glowy base (like me), prep your skin with a heavier moisturizer to create an ideal finish." — Adi Giesey, shopping writer
Best Makeup Gift Set
Jello x Tower28 Lil' Pudding Mini Lip Softie Gift Set ($20)
"The Jello x Tower28 Lil' Pudding Mini Lip Softie Gift Set is so freaking cute I almost didn't want to open it. The limited-edition set comes with four mini LipSoftie Tinted Lip Treatments in Pistachio, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Vanilla Swirl, and Banana Cream. They're the perfect pick for holiday gifts — or to keep for yourself." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Mes Good Roots Volume Mist ($34)
"I've always thought Jennifer Lawrence has beautiful hair, so I'll use anything that is supposed to give me her effortlessly undone look. Her new brand, Mes, just launched with three products, but the Good Roots Volume Mist is my standout favorite. It's a spray that helps reduce oiliness at your scalp and provides long-lasting, soft lift. I have ultra-fine hair, and this doesn't weigh it down." — Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty
Best Pre-Shampoo Treatment
Silverist Clarity Reset Demineralizer Pre-Shampoo ($32)
"When I take an everything shower, I go all in. I'm talking cleansing shampoo, regular shampoo, hair mask — you name it. The problem? It takes forever. This pre-shampoo treatment helps loosen buildup from hard water minerals, metal, and chlorine before you wash your hair. The best news? You don't have to apply it in the shower, adding minutes to your routine. You can easily spritz it on dry hair three minutes before you shampoo. The results? Cleaner hair that still feels fresh and soft." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
Best Fragrance Jelly
Joonbyrd Bliss Mood Jelly Functional Fragrance ($38)
"Joonbyrd just released three new jelly perfume sticks, and I'm obsessed. The Bliss Mood Fragrance has notes of apple, jasmine sambac, and wood for an uplifting, serotonin-boosting finish. The scent is encapsulated in a bouncy jelly made with thermal waters from the Amalfi Coast, making it easy to apply and reapply whenever you need a pick-me-up." — Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty
Best Perfume
Merit New Wave L'Extrait de Parfum ($92)
"As a huge fan of the first Merit fragrance, Retrospect, I was giddy when I heard that they were finally expanding their scent portfolio. My first spritz was completely different than what I had imagined — New Wave is very deep, warm, and smoky with notes of incense, pink pepper, wood, honeyed floral, and a hint of vanilla. While it initially packs a punch (something that took me a few wears to get used to), I am even more obsessed with how it settles on your skin. It is perfectly sexy and layered in a way that has made me reach for it nearly every day this fall." — Adi Giesey, shopping writer
Best Candle
Glasshouse Fragrances Christmas Morning Candle ($60)
"It's November, meaning it's time to break out the holiday candles. Glasshouse Fragrances' new collection just dropped and I instantly became obsessed with the Christmas Morning Candle with notes of spiced orange and pine. It's warm, cinnamon-y, and so cozy. Not to mention, as always with the brand, the jar it comes in is so whimsical." — Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty
Best Laundry Pods
Arquiste x Laundry Sauce Misfit Laundry Detergent Pods ($37)
"Call me old, but I love a fancy laundry detergent, and it doesn't get much fancier than the new Misfit Laundry Sauce Laundry Detergent Pods in collaboration with award-winning fragrance brand Arquiste. The amber scent is warm and woody, perfect for fall, winter, and beyond. I love how the scent lingers on my clothes long after they come out of the wash." — Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty
Best Bedding
Copper+ Sheet Set ($149)
"OK, so you might be wondering what the hell bedding is doing in a new product launch story about beauty. Well, let me tell you. Coop Sleep just launched the Copper+ Sheet Set — sheets that are literally woven with copper-infused antibacterial fibers. They're meant to reduce bacteria buildup and leave you with a more hygienic bed. And they are soft as all shit, people. Like lying on a bed made of clouds. I don't ever want to sleep on anything else." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and producer
