Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet No.3

"There are few lipsticks more magical and transformative to swipe on than a classic Chanel red. The limited-edition Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in No.3 ($37) is my go-to holiday party color this season. The deep, brick red feels elegant and vampy. The formula is gorgeous — creamy, matte, and velvety. I swear it also makes my lips look bigger." — Lauren Levinson, senior editor, Beauty

Three Squares S.OIL

"Part serum, part oil, this new organic hair product is nothing short of a miracle. S.OIL ($68) can be used as a prewash treatment before every shampoo to help improve strength, boost shine, and repair damaged strands. I'm still recovering from having bleached my hair a year ago, and after just one 10-minute treatment, I immediately felt like my hair was softer than ever. No crusty fried ends. No heavy, greasy feeling. It works great on skin, too, and I've even used it on my scalp to help out with dandruff. There are three fragrances, but my favorite is Oak, a mix of lavender, vanilla, and bergamot. A little goes a long way with just a few drops, but I have a feeling I'll be emptying this bottle quickly." — Kristina Rodulfo, editor, Beauty

Mugler Alien Beautifying Hair Mist

"As the Winter winds pick up, so does my number of bad hair days. Or so I thought! (Cue hair flip.) After the Mugler Alien Beautifying Hair Mist ($40) landed on my desk, my strands have held perfectly in place. Every time I catch a flyaway, I spritz my hair with this jasmine-scented mist, and ZAP, it's gone — like I live in a sci-fi comic. If that wasn't enough, actual strangers have come up to me praising the smell of my head, so if that's the type of thing you're into, I advise buying this purple, travel-size tube in bulk." — Alaina Demopoulos, editorial assistant, Beauty

Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eye Shadow Palette

One thing I love about Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Eye Shadow Palettes ($49) are that they're sleek. Most palettes are large and boxy — which is totally fine — but these make it so easy to store and travel with that I end up using them more than anything else in my repertoire. For my hazel eyes, I love Scandalust 740, seven shades ranging from rust to warmed browns. — KJ

Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Kit

"Brown girls, if you've been on the hunt for a blush that doesn't show up chalky on your complexion, Anastasia Beverly Hills just released a kit with four! The new Blush Kit in Gradient ($30) comes with new pigmented shades that aren't too bright, making them perfect for achieving flushed cheeks this Fall. My particular favorite shade is Vegas, which gives my skin a natural rosy glow that never looks dull or powdery." — Aimee Simeon, social media editor and contributing writer

Charlotte Tilbury Smoky Eye Instant Look in a Palette

"I've been obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury Smoky Eye Instant Look in a Palette ($75) because I can go straight from the office to a bar with only one product. It includes three shadows, two blushes, a bronzer, and a highlighter, which allows me to completely touch up my makeup quickly. I love how compact the palette is too, so I can keep it in my purse and take it on the go." — Sarah Siegel, editorial assistant, Shopping and Products

GHD Limited Edition Nocturne Flight Travel Dryer Gift Set

"I'm always on the hunt for the lightest, but most powerful, travel hair dryer, and I think I finally found it: GHD Limited Edition Nocturne Flight Travel Dryer Gift Set ($99). Not only does this pack super small (it folds in half), but I can also bring it overseas. It has dual voltage so it will work in the majority of European and Asian countries that run on 220/240V." — LL

Col-lab Palette Pro Eyeshadow Palette

"Col-lab, a newly launched makeup collection, was developed with the help of top beauty influencers, so you better believe it's amazing. I immediately fell in love with the Pro Eyeshadow Palette for its cool tones and, most importantly, insane color payoff. You know that annoying thing where eye shadows have tons of fallout and require lots of layering before you see color? There's none of that here. The formula is velvety, pigmented, and honestly better than most prestige palettes I've tested out (and I've tested out many). Here's the best part, though: it's only $15. My favorite of the colorways is Follow Me, a collection of all the icy tones you need to create a Winter-ready smoky eye." — KR

Scentbird Earl Grey & Blackberry Hand Cream

"Pretty much two things get me through a cold New York Winter: copious amounts of hand cream and my near-obscene penchant for downing Earl Grey tea (seriously, I'd sip the stuff through an IV all day if I could). The Scentbird Earl Grey & Blackberry Hand Cream ($15) combines both of my loves in one sweet, indulgent, and truly unexpected formula. I don't know who thought to mix a Winter drink with a Summer fruit, but jeez, is it intoxicating. I plan to slather this stuff on all Winter to cope with the harsh temperatures and my disdain for wearing gloves. Plus, the six fragrances in this collection of hand creams are all cruelty-free." — AD

Pai-Shau Texture Dust

"My hair gets extremely dry as temperatures drop, so in an effort to extend my blowouts, I've added Pai-Shau's new Texture Dust ($24) to my routine. The lightweight powder keeps my roots from getting greasy and flat in between washes. It gives my strands nice hold, which is perfect for rocking curls and waves. It comes with a superprecise pump applicator so that you can apply directly where you want and not have to worry about powdery residue being left behind." — AS

Frank Body Send Nudes Lip & Cheek Tint

Outside of the fact that the packaging is adorable — look at that tiny heiny! — Frank Body Send Nudes Lip & Cheek Tint ($12) makes your lips look as good as they'll feel. Frank Body is known for their body scrubs and skin care products made free of parabens, phthalates and PEGs — all things you don't want in your skin care in the first place — with witty taglines. Send Nudes is a taupe lip balm that is flattering on all skin tones and smells like coffee. Great for a morning, afternoon or evening pick-me-up. — Kirbie Johnson, host, senior trend producer and reporter

Rossano Ferretti Parma Vita Rejuvenating Serum

"When I met famed hairstylist Rossano Ferretti at his New York salon, he first rubbed this serum onto my hands. 'Just wait,' he told me. Then, after a few seconds, he instructed me to feel my hand. Poof. There was no sticky, slimy feeling of product at all. 'I call my products skin care for your hair,' he explained. Think of the new Vita Rejuvenating Serum ($59) as an antiaging agent for your strands (it even contains hyaluronic acid). It helps seal split ends, makes your texture silkier, and, as Ferretti showed me, feels invisible and weightless." — KR

Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation

"Huda Beauty's Faux Filter Foundation ($40) is, hands down, one of the best formulas of 2017. It provides flawless (not cakey) coverage so you can perfect your complexion in one step — no extra concealing necessary. It feels lightweight on the skin and literally looks like your favorite Instagram filter is chillin' on your face. If you love a good full-coverage foundation that covers blemishes and leaves your skin flawless, I highly suggest getting your hands on a bottle (or two) of this new release."— AS

Pinrose Twirl + Whirl

"In my weird dreams, I'm that 1950s girl next door who leads the town parade as a majorette. (Don't ask, just go with it.) That's why, in my humble (but always right) opinion, the Pinrose Twirl + Whirl ($28) is this year's top stocking stuffer for any fragrance-file. Three mini rollerball perfumes live inside this baton, including the brand's famous Secret Genius scent, which smells like vanilla, caramel, and Winter wonderlands. The set also includes Wild Child, which has zesty, floral, "Can I get your number?" notes, and Lil' Dipper, which reeks of clean sheets and sandalwood. I can't think of a gift that's more fun to get — or give — this season." — AD

Makeup Geek Flawlessly Ever After Palette

"When I'm packing up my makeup, I hate having to shove four different powders in my tiny case just to get the glowing complexion I crave. When I tried the Makeup Geek Flawlessly Ever After Palette ($38, available Nov. 16), I finally found the solution to my problem. The palettes come in four hues for different skin tones, so I'm sure to use every color in my perfect palette. The palette includes a complexion-flattering bronzer, highlighter, and two blushes, allowing me to have the right hues for a day or night look. They also blend seamlessly, making my makeup look natural and radiant." — SS

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick & Lip Mattifier Set

"As a lipstick addict, I could barely contain myself when I caught sight of the adorable Be Legendary Lipstick & Lip Mattifier Set ($25). Designed by artist Ana Strumpf, these mini lipsticks feature illustrations just begging to be Instagrammed. I also love that there are all the shades I could ever need, from neutrals to red to vampy berry. The kit also includes a special "lipstick transformer" that turns any shade you layer under it matte. It's the most genius beauty invention." — KR

Color Me Underglow Hydrator

This product is part primer, part hydrator and part highlighter. Meant to be worn underneath your base, Color Me Underglow Hydrator ($46) comes in four shades and helps to give the skin a glow-from-within look, even if your skin has been put through the ringer. Apply it with your fingers, a brush or the Color Me applicator for a natural finish. It has enough coverage to work as a stand alone product, too. — KJ

M-61 Perfect Cleansing Cloths

"I've recently gotten hooked on M-61's Glow Peels to help get rid of hyperpigmentation. So when I found out that the brand was releasing cleansing wipes ($22), I was particularly excited. The new addition to the skincare lineup not only melts away makeup but also replenishes moisture back into the skin. It's packed with vitamin E, lavender, and green tea to soothe and hydrate. Your skin will immediately feel soft and supple after use, so you won't feel too guilty if you skip out on washing your face." — AS

Farsali Jelly Beam Illuminator

Farsali is the brand that made moisturizing sexy on Instagram. Long gone are the days of simply rubbing in your moisturizer — now it's chic to drip it onto your skin, like it's raining all over your face. While I might not get that tactic, there's no doubt the brand is innovative, and the Jelly Beam Illuminator ($40) is no exception. The gel-to-powder formula looks soupy in the packaging; it jiggles. Pounce your finger on the product and swipe on your face for a subtle or super-galatic highlight — it depends on how much you apply. — KJ

Skinesque 3 step Aqua+ Super Fine Mask

I recently brought the Skinesque 3 step Aqua+ Super Fine Masks (box of five masks for $35) on a trip, and it was the perfect travel skin care to bring. Each mask set includes a face wash, essence, and sheet mask. I actually used it on my 15-hour flight after I woke up from sleeping, and it totally refreshed my skin. I would definitely pack this set again. — LL
