13 Beauty Products You Absolutely Must Buy in November

I am often asked by friends which beauty products they can save money on, and I always tell them: mascara. The drugstore is filled with affordable eyelash enhancers that deliver results just as fabulous as their luxe counterparts. L'Oréal Paris already has a cult following for its gorgeous mascaras, and the newest irritation — a double-sided wand dubbed Superstar ($11) — does not disappoint. One side offers a volumizing primer, which also nourishes dry strands as the temperature drops. Once it's set, follow with the colored mascara. The results look like fake lashes — minus the fuss of putting them on!
