15 New Beauty Products Our Editors Are Loving This December

Olehenriksen x Anine Bing Peptide Lip Treatment ($22)

"I firmly disagree with the notion that a lip balm is a lip balm is a lip balm — and in the cold winter months, you know what I'm talking about. This lip treatment from Olehenriksen is everything you need in one: heavy hydrators like mango butter and cloudberry oil, a pretty mauve color that looks good on any skin tone, and a high-shine, glossy finish that doesn't feel gloopy. The cutesy packaging is an added bonus and comes courtesy of fashion icon, Anine Bing." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Violette_Fr Yeux Paint in Café Serré ($32)

"As a person with blue eyes, my go-to shadow and liner colors are in the red, pink, gold, and brown families. My latest obsession is with the new color of Violette_Fr's Yeux Paint — it's a stunning shade of red wine burgundy that makes my eyes look incredible. I have used it as a full-lid shadow for a more dramatic vibe and also applied it with a liner brush for a soft wing. It stays put nicely after it's dried down (which takes about 10 seconds) — I'm planning on wearing it to all of my holiday parties this year." — Aviel Kanter, director, branded content

Youth to the People Superfruit Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Vitamin C + Papaya ($27, originally $39)

"I have sensitive, reactive, acne-prone, dry skin. Yeah, it's a mouthful. That's why when I find skin-care products that work for me, I usually stick to them for years and years. I was recently introduced to the Youth to the People Superfruit Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, and it's been the perfect face wash to help slough off dead skin in the colder months without making my face feel too dry. It's gentle and leaves my skin looking bright. I'll be using it for the foreseeable future." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Shiseido Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream ($298)

"It's that time of year when my skin is just not happy. It feels dry, tight, and dull — unless I find the perfect moisturizer consistency to envelope it in soothing hydration. The Shiseido Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream has a thick but weightless texture that instantly soothes, melting into my skin without any greasy residue but lingers enough to feel comforting. The formula is made to plump, smooth, and firm, and when I use it, I notice a visible difference in my skin when I wake up." — Jessica Harrington, senior beauty editor

Mary Kay Clinical Solutions Dynamic Wrinkle Limiter ($58)

"Listen, I love Botox as much as the next person, but I also like to minimize how often I go for treatment — it's time-consuming, not to mention pricy. The new Mary Kay Clinical Solutions Dynamic Wrinkle Limiter that just came out helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles, leaving skin looking plump and smooth. While no product applied topically will ever be a replacement for injections, I've found this certainly helps in between treatments." — JH

Sisley Paris Phyto Blanc Overnight Brightening Cream ($285)

"Night cream is probably my favorite type of skin-care product. So much restoration happens to the skin overnight, so a potent moisturizer is key. Every time I've used this brightening cream, I've woken up with plumper skin than I went to bed with. Rainbow algae extract combined with the patented phyto-blanc complex help brighten dark spots and glycerin, vitamin B5, and shea oil hydrate and protect." — AK

Côte Beauty The Ritual Peptide Enriched Lip Treatment ($28)

"I'm a lip-product snob through and through, and I'm a little ashamed to say that my standards for lip glosses, lip balms, and lipsticks are higher than my standards for dudes I date. (I'm working on it in therapy!) I like products that are hydrating, moisturizing, and long lasting — but they can't be sticky or leave behind a funky residue. I was excited to find that the Côte Beauty The Ritual Peptide Enriched Lip Treatment ticked off all of my boxes and left my mouth looking luscious AF. Immediate re-purchase." — RR

KMS Moist Repair Intense Restore Treatment ($13)

"This time of year, my hair is all-caps SCREAMING for help in the dryness department, and yet no hair mask or treatment really makes any meaningful change. That all changed with this packet of goodness from KMS, which is loaded with hydrating ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and prickly pear that's been upcycled. I use it once a week for three minutes on my ends, and every time I step out of the shower it looks like I just got a haircut (even when it's been months)." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Evolvetogether Havana Body Cream ($46, originally $58)

"There are delicious smelling products, and then there is the Havana scent from Evolvetogether. It is equal parts woody and spicy, with hits of cardamom and cedarwood that dry down to the kind of warmth you get by cozying up next to a fire. I've loved every single item I've tried in the brand's Havana collection — the hand cream, the deodorant, the exfoliating bar soap, the hand sanitizer — but my biggest love affair yet is with its newly launched body cream-to-oil formula. This hydrator is at once rich and fast-absorbing, thanks to its powerhouse argan, sunflower seed, and avocado oils. If you want something you won't hate slathering on this winter, don't miss it." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Beekman 1802 x Wicked Glamorous Gal Body Care Gift Set ($28)

"I, like 99 percent of the population right now, am obsessed with the new 'Wicked' movie starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. I can't stop humming the iconic songs, and that obsession extends to the many (and I mean many, many, many) limited-edition collections that have come from the film, including the Beekman 1802 x Wicked Glamorous Gal Body Care Gift Set. It's the perfect gift for fellow 'Wicked' fans. Inside are two products that'll keep skin hydrated all winter long: the Pink Perfection Goat Milk Soap and You've Been Glinda-Fied Shimmering Whipped Body." — JH

Saltyface Tanning Foam ($62)

"I don't self tan very often, but when I do, I'm picky about the products that go on my body. I've been a fan of a specific tanning lotion for years, until I was introduced to a new brand, Saltyface. Their tanning foam is genuinely one of the easiest tanning products I've ever tested — and it only needs to be worn for 60 minutes before you can wash it off. I spread it all over my body using just my hands, and it gives me the most perfect, even-toned color. Yes, it smells the tiniest bit on application day, but that goes away as soon as I shower. Plus, it doesn't fade with splotches whatsoever. Obsessed is an understatement." — RR

DND Gel Diva Happy Trails Collection in Triple Espresso ($12)

"The shade Triple Espresso from the new DND Gel Diva Happy Trails collection is the most beautiful coffee-brown hue. It has reddish undertones and offers amazing coverage. It's the perfect timeless yet oh-so-trendy nail color for the winter season ahead." — JH

Vacation Royal Pine Deluxe Candle ($36)

"I'm doing a lot of holiday shopping this month, and I've never seen anyone upset on the other side of a gifted candle, but how do you find one that feels both universal and personalized? Enter Vacation's Royal Pine Deluxe Candle: its delicious pine scent makes it perfect for the person who hosts every holiday party, while the design makes for the person who's turned 'tenniscore' into their entire personality, embraces all things aprés ski, or generally just appreciates an aesthetically pleasing candle." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Maison Louis Marie Nouvelle Vague Eau de Parfum ($70, was $93)

"I'm super picky about perfumes, and I especially dislike scents that skew too syrup-y sweet (blame it on my childhood spent inhaling the musks of the Limited Too and Abercrombie stores at the mall). I prefer floral perfumes that are balanced out by more grounded scents like bergamot or fig. I know Maison Louis Marie's claim to fame is Bois de Balincourt, but hear me out — IMO Nouvelle Vague should be their best seller. It's what I imagine Marge from The Talented Mr. Ripley wears during her Italian-coast sabbatical — full of citrus, fig, and tonka." — AK
