If you really thought about it, you would be downright overwhelmed by how many new beauty products hit the market every year. But over the course of the past few months, we've narrowed down the hundreds of hair treatments, skin serums, nail polishes, and cosmetics to our select favorites. Now that 2015 is coming to a close, we've cut the year's best launches down to 15 exemplary products that are worth the splurge. From an in-shower moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated all day to a salt spray that actually leaves your hair soft and touchable, these are the items you need to buy — that is, before 2016's swag starts hitting shelves.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion

Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion

The product: Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion ($29)

Why we want it: Crunchy. Sticky. Drying. All adjectives used to describe your typical salt spray. Bumble and Bumble's latest launch gets rid of all the negatives, while still providing the beach waves you love. This product adds oils to the equation for a tousled texture you'll actually enjoy touching.

Nars Audacious Mascara

Nars Audacious Mascara

The product: Nars Audacious Mascara ($26)

Why we want it: You'll notice there is a new mascara all the Nars fans are talking about — and for good reason! The Audacious brush has over 200 bristles to lengthen lashes and give you more volume. This special formula can be paired with the new Nars kohl eyeliner to fake the thick lashes you weren't born with.

Jergens Wet Skin In-Shower Moisturizer

Jergens Wet Skin In-Shower Moisturizer

The product: Jergens Wet Skin In-Shower Moisturizer ($7)

Why we want it: We've been slathering our bodies down with baby oil in the shower ever since high school. Thankfully, that ritual just got a grown-up makeover. This Jergens lotion goes on wet skin to give maximum moisture. All you have to do is pat dry and go.

Lacoste L.12.12 Jaune

Lacoste L.12.12 Jaune

The product: Lacoste L.12.12 Jaune ($70)

Why we want it: This is the scent you will spray on yourself when your man isn't looking. The mix of grapefruit, pink peppercorn, apple, amber, and spicy coriander is light enough to wear to work or brunch.

Iluminage Eye Mask

Iluminage Eye Mask

The product: Iluminage Eye Mask ($35)

Why we want it: We already own two of the copper oxide pillowcases from Iluminage, so obviously this eye mask was a must have. The threads are infused with antiaging minerals that keep puffiness at bay. There is also extra fabric under the eyes so sleep wrinkles are no longer an issue.

Lilah B. Divine Duo Lip and Cheek

Lilah B. Divine Duo Lip and Cheek

The product: Lilah B. Divine Duo Lip and Cheek ($46)

Why we want it: We can't resist a lip and cheek duo. We literally have one in every bag we own! In addition to loving Lilah B.'s gorgeous pigment, we're into the packaging. Each compact is made of weighted white stone that could pass as chic spa decor.

Deborah Lippmann All About That Base CC Base Coat

Deborah Lippmann All About That Base CC Base Coat

The product: Deborah Lippmann All About That Base CC Base Coat ($20)

Why we want it: They've made CC cream for the face, BB cream for the body, and now there is an all-inclusive alphabet product for your nails, too. This CC base coat can fill ridges, protect against stains, and lengthen the life of your manicure.

Patchology FlashPatch Eye Gels

Patchology FlashPatch Eye Gels

The product: Patchology FlashPatch Eye Gels ($50)

Why we want it: We have more sheet masks in our fridge than food (#beautyeditorproblems). These Patchology gels are our new favorites because they come in a jar, which keeps them from getting too slimy. These patches maintain their cool well into the five-minute application period. Plus, they can easily be hidden under a pair of diva shades during your next flight

Living Proof Curl Detangling Rinse

Living Proof Curl Detangling Rinse

The product: Living Proof Curl Detangling Rinse ($26)

Why we want it: Any woman with thick, unruly curls knows that detangling is the hardest step on wash day. This gel formula product will help your comb glide through tangles and single-strand knots. Just add water!

Estée Lauder Little Black Liner

Estée Lauder Little Black Liner

The product: Estée Lauder Little Black Liner ($30)

Why we want it: Currently, we have about three eyeliner products floating at the bottom of our makeup bag. A pencil for the waterline, a fine liquid, and a thicker marker pen. We swapped them all for this one stencil! The double-ended tube lets you get all the same looks, and it's waterproof to boot.

St. Tropez Gradual Tan In-Shower Tanning Lotion

St. Tropez Gradual Tan In-Shower Tanning Lotion

The product: St. Tropez Gradual Tan In-Shower Tanning Lotion ($25)

Why we want it: Water activates this brand-new type of self-tanner. You can apply it in the shower, leave it on your body for three minutes, rinse it off, and wait for your tan to develop on your clean, dried skin. It is recommended to be used three days in a row to get the perfect bronze hue.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo

The product: Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo ($26)

Why we want it: People actually squealed at our office when we learned that Moroccanoil was launching its first-ever dry shampoo. It goes on like a really fine powder, so you don't have to worry about a crunchy or white finish. Plus, it comes in a tinted version for brunettes and has the signature Moroccanoil scent we've come to love.

Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant

Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant

The product: Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant ($6)

Why we want it: Truthfully, we had given up on spray deodorant, but this year Dove revamped the category. There's no walking around the house with your hands up waiting for the mist to dry. It goes on powder fresh with zero white residue.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips

The product: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips ($20)

Why we want it: What's left to do after you've taken over the brow and eye category? Lips, of course. We were shocked by how much pigment came out of this little tube. It may look like gloss, but don't be fooled. The color is more powerful than your favorite longwear lipstick.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

The product: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara ($24)

Why we want it: Every mascara Benefit puts out elicits a cult following, but the tiny hooks on each bristle of this wand made this launch especially intriguing. It isn't a gimmick! The brush grabs every little lash and tugs them upward, leaving them curled, thick, and fluttery.

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Eye Shadow Palette

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Eye Shadow Palette

The product: Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Eye Shadow Palette ($58)

Why we want it: Gwen Stefani was one of the first celebrities to support Urban Decay nearly 20 years ago, and her love for the brand has been rewarded! This collaboration palette features 15 gorgeous shades — 12 of them new — that Gwen helped create, because the colors she wanted were missing from her current makeup stash.
