The 29 Best Beauty Products Fashionista Editors Tried in November

Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm in Spice, $10, available here: “The tinted versions of Naturium’s intensely smoothing, glossy lip balm have been sold out — and with good reason. For only $10 a pop, they pack a moisturizing formula of shea butter, squalane and cupuaçu butter to cushion lips and impart beautiful shine, either alone or over lipstick or liner. I’m obsessed with the warm, pinkish-brown tint of the shade ‘Spice,’ which gives that perfect my-lips-but-better effect. I’d recommend hopping on that waitlist for the re-stock, stat.” —Stephanie Saltzman, Beauty Director

Esker Body Plane, $45, available here: “Despite sort of looking like a (beautiful) weapon, this is actually a surprisingly gentle exfoliation-and-massage tool. Post-shower, you just apply a body oil (this brand has some great ones) to damp skin and glide it across the body to scrape off dead skin, making for an extra luxurious component to the ‘everything shower.'” —Dhani Mau, Editor-in-chief

Hustle Butter Deluxe Luxury Tattoo Care & Maintenance Cream, $22, available here: “I started using this all-natural aftercare cream on my recent tattoos and I totally get why it’s an industry favorite. The mix of shea, mango and aloe butters helps me heal without irritation, and I love that it doesn’t have any petroleum.” —Liza Sokol, Sr. Audience Development Manager

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder, $48, available here: “This powder is genuinely the secret ingredient to my makeup. Swiping the ultra-fine pressed powder onto my base as the final step in my routine can instantly take my look from questionably shiny to glow-y and, yes, flawless.” —Brooke Frischer, Staff Writer

Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch Eyeshadow Palette, $68, available here: “As @TheLipstickLesbians said, this eye-shadow palette is a work of art. Designed like a mini clutch handbag with a YSL logo appliqué, it’s a luxurious addition to my makeup bag. Plus, it includes all the necessary colors for a neutral-toned smoky eye.” —Andrea Bossi, Staff Writer

CeraVe SA Body Wash, $14, available here: “I’m officially hooked on this unassuming skin-smoothing drugstore body wash for its gentle exfoliating abilities — and I’m not the only one who has noticed its impact: Multiple people who hugged me at my wedding commented on the softness of my arms (a compliment I never knew I wanted, but will accept nonetheless).” —Steph

HPPY Skin Refresh Fridge-Fresh Cryo-Facial Mask, $56, available here: “This cucumber-scented mask makes me feel like I’m having the facial Mia Thermopolis gets in ‘The Princess Diaries’— you know, the one where it smells so good she literally eats the cucumber sitting on her eye? This thick clay-based formula gives me that exact same energy: It smells amazing, feels refreshing and leaves my skin non-irritated and soft.” —Brooke

Emi Jay Angelstick, $38, available here: “This flyaway smoothing balm comes in an easy-to-use stick component with a buildable formula that offers more hold the more you swipe it — all without leaving hair waxy or crunchy. Instead, you just get super soft sleekness. Whether my hair is slicked back or styled down, I’ve been using it daily to keep stray hairs in check.” —Savannah Sitton, Contributing Market Editor

Kristin Ess Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo, $13 $9, available here: “I’ve gone through multiple brands over the past few months in search of a shampoo that actually addresses my oily hair, but after trying this formula, I think I’ve finally found the perfect fit. My scalp feels refreshingly clean, and I can go longer between hair-wash days without worrying about excess oil buildup. Not to mention it also smells absolutely amazing.” —Catie Pusateri, Contributing Writer 

Saltair Santal Bloom Body Lotion, $14, available here: “In terms of scent, this might be my favorite body lotion I’ve ever used. (I love a woody-floral mix.) I’m now very much on the Saltair bandwagon and will be ordering every Santal Bloom product the brand offers.” —Dhani

Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty Advanced Revitalizing Cleanser, $65, available here: “I broke out pretty badly from a product recently. I didn’t change anything in my regular skin-care routine other than switching to this wash, and I started to notice my skin healing after just a week. I love that the formula is a super thick gel-like texture that I can foam up for a deep cleanse, but still doesn’t leave any sticky residue after washing it off.” —Brooke

Ouai St. Barts Moisturizing Body Cream, $38, available here: “So obsessed with this body lotion. It’s perfect for the winter when my skin feels so dry and unloved.” —Olivia Novato, Contributing Writer

Farmacy Tea Harvest Green Clean Trio with Limited-Edition Flavors, $49, available here: “The Wild Raspberry Tea and Chamomile Rose Latte scents of this all-star cleansing balm (it doesn’t cloud my eyes!) are nice and all, but the Warm Vanilla Chai is my absolute favorite. They’re also the perfect size to throw in your bag for cleansing on the go.” —Liza

Leaf & Flower CBD Tame & Fix Flyaway Stick, $20, available here: “My fine, puffy hair texture, combined with some recent re-growth, has made for a perfect storm of flyaways lately. I’ve been turning to this alcohol-free, lightweight styling serum to help tamp them down and seal them in place without leaving behind a hint of slickness, stiffness or volume-thwarting heaviness. I even brought the mascara-like tube with me for touch-ups during my wedding reception — and then wound up using it to MacGuyver my half-up look into a sleek late-night ponytail after things got sweaty on the dance floor. It totally saved me!” —Steph

Lisa Eldridge Beauty Skin Enhancing Treatment Cleanser, $46, available here: “I love to give myself a little nightly facial massage with this lightweight-yet-ultra moisturizing and hydrating balm cleanser.” —Dhani

Quickies Grunge Girl Press On Nails, $22, available here: “Press-on nails have come a long way since the generic ones I used as a kid. Case in point: Quickies makes trendy sets in cool shapes and current designs that I’d actually choose at the nail salon. Tape stickers and nail glue might last a couple of weeks, but I make them stay put extra long by adhering each nail with clear gel polish and curing them on as you would a Gel X manicure.” —Savannah

Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30, $20, available here: “This sunscreen has a slight green tint that helps cancel out minor redness, feels lightweight on my skin and doesn’t irritate my eyes (a major plus as a sunscreen slatherer.)” —Catie

Phlur Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Mist, $35, available here: “I’ve been a vanilla perfume girlie since my days of dousing myself in Victoria’s Secret Vanilla Lace as an early-aughts teen. This body mist is like an elevated, more adult (albeit still accessibly priced) version of it, balancing the creamy gourmand note with hints of pink pepper, sandalwood and cashmere.” —Steph

DedCool Taunt Hand Wash, $28, available here: “I’m not the biggest fan of heavily-scented hand soaps, but DedCool got me with its Taunt hand wash, a light, clean combo of bergamot, vanilla, amber and ‘fresh dew’. It also leaves my hands feeling clean and hydrated, thanks to shea butter and both coconut and almond oils.” —Liza

Her Juice Bar Turmeric Tonic Scrub, $40, available here: “Anyone that’s ever groomed their bikini area before knows it can bring about a plethora of pesky problems (irritation, ingrowns and subsequent hyperpigmentation), which is exactly what this brightening turmeric scrub is for. I love how the fine sea salt gently but effectively exfoliates while jojoba, grape seed and sweet almond oils leave my skin soft and moisturized — plus, it’s 100% natural ingredients so, it really doesn’t get better.” —Savannah

Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel 3-Wick Candle, $25 $13, available here: “I come back to this candle every holiday season for its nostalgic scent that reminds me of fir trees, decadent desserts and time at home.” —Andrea

Truly Ma Chérie Perfume Mist, $24, available here: “I’m all in for the body mist resurgence, and this combo of black cherry, dark chocolate and salted caramel isn’t sickeningly sweet like it might be in a more concentrated perfume.” —Liza

Emi Jay Mini Boar Bristle Brush, $42, available here: “In addition to my now-coveted Angelstick, I also ordered Emi Jay’s aesthetically pleasing soft bristle hairbrush. I love a durable wooden brush, and the super soft bristles leave my hair silky soft, plus the tortoise acetate looks so chic on my vanity.” —Savannah 

Leaf & Flower CBD Phyto-Molecular Oil, $42, available here: “I was at a loss for words when I first caught a whiff of the candy-like scent of this oil. Even better: It actually gives my hair a beautiful, non-greasy shine. I like to apply this as a last step to styling my curls.” —Andrea

Real Beauty Miracle Barrier Cream, $13, available here: “This thick, lush cream is geared toward acne-prone, clogged or oily skin with antimicrobial succinic acid — but you’d never know based on how soothing and hydrating it is.” —Savannah

Guerlain Abeille Royale Honey Treatment Night Cream, $210, available here: “Using this rich night cream has helped keep my skin supple and hydrated as the air gets cooler and drier. Plus, it has ingredients like squalane, jojoba and honey, which are known to be great moisturizers.” —Andrea

L’Occitane Strengthening Shea Nail & Cuticle Oil, $22, available here: “Recently, I decided to give my nails a break from Gel X. Now that I’m on my natural nail journey, I’ve been giving my cuticles a little extra care with this yummy-smelling oil.” —Olivia

Arbonne EssentialMeal Protein Shake, $99 $79, available here: “As someone who drinks protein shakes daily, it’s always exciting to find a new powder worth adding to the rotation. What I find special about this plant-based one is that it packs 24 grams of protein and a variety of vitamins into each serving. Because of this, I thought it’d taste bad, but it actually has a pretty pleasant flavor.” —Andrea

Oribe Gold Lust Repair and Restore Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle, $101, available here: “I’ve been on the hunt for a shampoo-and-conditioner combo that keeps my hair feeling silky after rinsing. I’ve been loving this duo from Oribe — the smooth feeling the products give my hair as I’m raking it through in the shower lingers long after I wash them out.” —Brooke
