16 New Beauty Products Editors Are Digging This December

"This brush quintet ($85) may be small, but don't get it twisted: quality definitely wasn't sacrificed on these pint-sized tools. Each one — from the cheek blender to the liner/smudger — features a full-sized brush head with dense, velvety-soft vegan bristles, all packed into a handle the length of my index finger. The entire set is no bigger than the mini soda can you might get on an airplane, making it perfect to stash in my kit during my holiday travels." — Emily Orofino, editor, Beauty

"I've been a longtime user of Tatcha's Gold Camellia Lip Balm, because of it's jelly-like texture and hydrating qualities (it never fails to keep my pout from flaking on long flights). This slightly red tinted version, the Tatcha Limited Edition Red Camellia Lip Balm ($38), is just gorgeous for that no-makeup makeup holiday look. Plus, how lovely is the design on the glass jar? It is of a camellia flower and the temples of Kyoto." — Lauren Levinson, senior editor, Beauty

"MAC Cosmetics' Velvet Teddy is one of my favorite lipsticks ever. I've gone through multiple bullets of the iconic mauve color, so I was particularly excited when I learned that the brand was releasing a fragrance to accompany the bestselling shade. The bottle of the delectable perfume ($57, available Dec. 8) matches the warm pink color of the lipstick, and its scent features notes of wild honey and creamy musk. The aroma is potent but not overpowering, making it a seductive Winter essence. I especially love displaying it on my vanity next to its coordinating lipstick." — Aimee Simeon, editorial assistant, Social

"When I first saw the Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadow ($16), I got very excited: I knew the ultrashimmery hues would become my go-to eye makeup for the holiday season. For the best application, use an eye shadow primer and press the pigment onto your eyelid using a flat eye shadow brush. For a more intense color, I like using the product wet." — Sarah Siegel, editorial assistant, Trending

"I was immediately intrigued by Goop's first fragrance launch ($165) when shopping for a scent for the new season. It starts off with a smoky note that reminds me of a crackling fireplace or the incense of an old cathedral. Throughout the day, the scent gets lighter and sweeter, emitting a cozier smell. Although it's currently sold out, you can ask to be notified when it's available. It's worth the wait!" — Victor Verdugo, editorial assistant, Social Media

"This Swarovski-detailed limited-edition version of the Beachwaver Pro Professional Rotating Curling Iron (1.25 inch) ($250) is not only my absolute favorite tool for creating easy beach waves, but it was also the official iron of the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris. The rotating iron is easy to use: just clip it in the end of your hair, press 'left' or 'right,' and the wand spins up on its own. Even if you have never curled you hair before, you can't mess this up!" — LL

"I love getting pampered at the nail salon, but if you're constantly on the go, it can be hard to keep consistent appointments. Le Mini Macaron Limited Edition Holiday Gift Set ($45) is, yes, a great gift to give, but it's an even better gift to keep. It comes with a tiny limited-edition gold LED lamp, which is shaped like a macaron, two mini gel polishes (one pink, one red), plus items to keep your nails manicured." — Kirbie Johnson, host and producer, Beauty Junkie and Pretty Unfiltered

"I am constantly on the quest for the next greatest mascara. While I have admittedly never been wowed by molded-bristle brushes in the past, this Tarte formula ($23) has blown my mind and dramatically transformed my lash game to the point that I may swear off all other wands in my stash (seriously)! I applied upwards of five coats without seeing any clumping — just dramatic length and volume — to achieve a fringe that family members swore wasn't real. If you're looking for intensely fluttery, full lashes that are the equivalent of falsies in a tube, look no further." — EO

"I've always been a fan of Nivea's iconic body cream (and even use it on my face). So when the brand revealed that it would be releasing its first-ever body oil, I couldn't wait to slather it on my skin. The new Nourishing Oil ($9) features key hydrating ingredients like macadamia and avocado oils. Unlike other body treatments, this one won't leave your skin feeling slippery or greasy but instead absorbs easily, leaving your body feeling soft to the touch. When I am feeling particularly dry, I apply some of this to my skin while it's wet, or I add a few drops into my body cream for an extra boost in hydration." — AS

"The Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick in limited-edition Black Rose ($20) in the ideal Winter vampy lip. This gorgeous color is a beautiful dark red and is opaque in one swipe. The velvety texture dries to a matte finish yet is incredibly comfortable on the lips. I can't wait to wear this all Winter long, paired with a cat-eye (while bundled up in a parka)." — SS

"Come New Year's Eve, I plan to rock metallic eye makeup using Pat McGrath's Metalmorphosis 005 Kit ($60). It features four pieces to get superpigmented eyelids, including a cream pigment, a metallic pigment, a mixing liquid (intensifies it even more!), and a black dual-ended liquid eyeliner. You can get it in four shades: the classic Gold 001, silver, bronze, and copper (my favorite!). This is definitely a set for that Instagram selfie." — LL

"I am very fussy when it comes to body lotion: it must dry quickly, leave no greasy residue, and smell delicious yet not overpowering. This new formula from Aveeno ($8) accommodates all three of my demands and goes a step further by deeply infusing my parched Winter-worn skin with colloidal oatmeal. The soothing ingredient locks in moisture and staves off itchiness (a bonus, as I'll be wearing it under scratchy sweaters)." — EO

"While many beauty-lovers have been after glowing skin, my naturally oily pores often leave me teetering on the greasy side. So instead of using only a mattifiying primer to control my shine, I've added the new Glamglow Volcasmic Matte Glow Moisturizer ($54, available Dec. 6) to my routine. The new moisturizer is the first of its kind. It hydrates the skin but instead of leaving behind a dewy shine, it dries down to a demimatte finish. It has a subtle yet pleasant orange fragrance that dissipates shortly after it dissolves into your skin. It can also act as a primer, so if you forget to prep your face before applying foundation, you can rest assured that your makeup will still go on flawlessly." — AS

"No one has ever described me as graceful. Unfortunately, that clumsiness often translates to my makeup application and I frequently end up with mascara on my nose, eyelids, and cheeks. The Wet n Wild Mega Slim Skinny Mascara ($5, available Dec. 8) is a lifesaver. The wand is so thin that I can reach the small lashes on the inner corner of my eyes and define my bottom lashes without getting mascara all over myself." — SS

"I am a sucker for any product that smells remotely edible, but this incredible candle ($23) is scented with a hot cocoa aroma so realistic, anyone nearby will think you have a fresh batch of the wintry beverage heating up on the stove. If you're a chocolate addict, you definitely need this candle in your rotation. As it's limited edition, I recommend hitting up your local store to stock up, because you'll want enough chocolatey goodness to last you well through 2017." — EO

"This is the brand's first foray into high-pigment lip color, and the launch was worth the wait. The velvety pencil glides easily onto your pucker and feels super silky but provides a matte finish that won't dry out your lips. My favorite shade, the tomato red Rodeo Drive ($26), lasts for hours and wears down evenly to a chic stain. I'll definitely be stashing this in my holiday party clutch." — EO
