22 New Beauty Launches That Are Coming in Hot For December 2017

"As I continue to make my skincare routine 'cleaner,' I was excited to discover The Organic Pharmacy Rose Diamond Eye Cream ($103). This English brand is known for its natural offerings, and the latest eye cream is just lovely. It obviously smells like and features roses, as well as acmella oleracea — a plant known for antiaging benefits. Skin-plumping hyaluronic acid also makes up the composition. The formula is quite creamy, so a little goes a long way to lift, depuff, and fill in fine lines under the eyes." — Lauren Levinson, senior editor, Beauty

"Yes, this is definitely a gimmick, but a gimmick that works! GlamGlow's #GlitterMask ($69) promises to leave your skin feeling softer, firmer, and contoured; and although I was skeptical, it delivered. The brand's signature Gravity Mud works to tone and lift your skin, which I noticed with higher cheekbones. It's one of the most gorgeous masks I've ever worn — I didn't want to peel it off! The glitter doesn't scratch or irritate the skin like I thought it would. It smells delightful, and when you peel it off, it doesn't pull or rip your hair out by the follicle." — Kirbie Johnson; host, senior trend producer, and reporter; Beauty

"Tatcha's The Deep Cleanse ($38) makes my skin softer and pores tinier after just one use. That's thanks to a combination of powerful ingredients like exfoliating Japanese luffa fruit extract, antioxidant-rich Japanese wild rose, and oil-cutting Japanese leopard lily. The gentle, daily use-friendly formula has a mild, delicious smell and leaves skin moisturized — not stripped! — after washing." — Kristina Rodulfo, editor, Beauty

"This highlighter has a butterfly on it. Do I really have to say anything more? OK, I will. I'm a powder-phobe, but even I love this Gucci Sunstone Illuminating Powder ($53). The brand's first highlighter gives off the most subtle, confident shine that truly doesn't look like makeup — just a natural, sexy flush. Plus, its nonfussy formula is easy to apply on the go. Because I am an unsophisticated monster, I actually swiped this on using my finger, and it still looked so pretty. If you're on the fence about luminizer, give this a whirl — it's one of the most user-friendly powders I've ever tried. Also, in case you didn't notice already, this highlighter has a butterfly on it." — Alaina Demopoulos, editorial assistant, Beauty

"Drinking, eating, and partying at night this holiday season wreaks complete havoc on my puffy eyes. But thankfully E.L.F's new Charcoal Hydrogel Under Eye Masks have been like a reset button for them. The soothing gels are infused with calming ingredients like charcoal, seaweed extract, and licorice to soothe and awaken the under-eye area. These are perfect to pop on while you get ready in the morning or right before you apply your makeup for an evening event to look refreshed and awake." — Aimee Simeon, social media editor and contributing writer, Beauty

"For my honeymoon, my husband and I traveled to Bali, Indonesia, where I discovered the local frangipani flower and fell in love with it. Frangipanis are one of the main notes in Prada La Femme Prada L'Eau Eau de Toilette Spray ($86), so naturally I needed it! I'm such a fan of this fragrance, which smells floral and earthy at the same time. The frangipani florals are mixed with mandarin essence, ylang-ylang, and tuberose. As you can imagine, it's pretty damn sexy. Plus, the gold and pink faux-leather textured bottle is just plain chic." — LL

"You've been wanting to get your hands on Dose of Colors's liquid lipsticks for a while now, yeah? "The Snuggle Is Real" Set ($29) comes with three neutral shades, perfect for when you're getting sick and tired of wearing red glitter lips to holiday parties. Let's Cuddle, Lazy Daisy, and Warm & Fuzzy are a beige, mauve, and rose shade (respectively). Given the liquid lipsticks retail for $18 individually, you're basically getting one for free. Plus, they're vegan and cruelty-free." — KJ

"This chic bundle is something special, so make sure you get it for your ride-or-die, mom, or even yourself. The Annick Goutal Discovery Set ($47) is a gorgeous little introduction to the luxurious French brand. I'm especially obsessed with the silky body lotion, which is such a treat to apply. I detest shaving my legs, but I'm motivated to do it now just so I can marinate in this hydrating formula afterwards. It makes my legs look so amazing that I refuse to wear tights this Winter." — AD

"Dark circles and under-eye bags are no match for the new Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream ($65, available Dec. 12). It contains a unique blend of ingredients, like caffeine and ginseng root for depuffing, watermelon rind for hydration, and lutein (an antioxidant) for helping with fine lines. Judging by the success of the brand's other products — hi, Good Genes and Juno Oil — I'm going to bet this will quickly become a cult favorite, too." — KR

"Rihanna took over the beauty scene with the launch of Fenty Beauty this year, and rightfully so: she created a line that was truly inclusive. Fans raved over her foundation shade selection, a product that is notoriously difficult to color match. Same goes for red lipstick — but you know Riri's gotchu. Stunna Lip Paint ($24) is a perfect, true red that doesn't lean too blue or orange and complements all skin tones. Seriously. We tried it on almost everyone in the office, and the color mesmerized us all.

"Here's the deal: the product is thicker than a stain but thinner than a traditional liquid lipstick. It feels like, well, paint. It may be a bit runnier than you expect. Shake the bottle, remove excess product, and get goin' with your bad gal self." — KJ

"The new Tom Ford Lip Slicks ($54) are game-changing lip oils. First of all, you roll them on — and the ball tip feels amazing against lips. It distributes a sheer but pigmented oil-gloss formula. The formula contains jojoba oil and coconut oil, which feels glossy but not sticky. My favorite shade is Bitten Berry." — LL

"Some people suffer with dry skin in the Winter, but my greasy T-zone follows me year-round. In an effort to keep oil at bay without being too harsh to my skin, I've been using La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Shine-Control Clay Mask ($20). It's formulated with gentle clay to soak up excess oil and impurities. I've been applying a coat of this to my T-zone twice weekly, and I've been left with a more radiant, matte canvas for applying makeup. It's the perfect gentle mask to add to any oily-skin regimen, especially as cold weather rolls around." — AS

"Think of GoopGlow ($60) as the powder version of those tasty and all-around delightful Olly Gummy Vitamins. I'm a sucker for supplements (eating is fun, y'all), but I never really loved the liquid variety. I can honestly say this lemonade-esque concoction is the most delicious thing to drink for clear skin. Within two weeks, I noticed a decrease in breakouts. That means I can keep drinking this through December and eat all the sugary treats I want this holiday without risking a party-season pimple." — AD

"Long before the beauty world was saturated with highlighters, there was RMS Living Luminizer, the bestselling creamy highlight that creates a natural glow. This year, RMS founder Rose-Marie Swift is packing it up with two other gorgeous cream shades in the Luminizer Gift Set ($86). It also includes gold, a never-before-released product with a beautiful golden sheen, and champagne, an irridescent shimmer that creates an ethereal glow. For someone who wants to look dewy and glamorous without a heavy highlight, these should be their go-to. The set also includes a brush for precise application, but I prefer to tap them onto my skin with my fingers." — KJ

"Hailing from a brand new beauty line, 8 Faces Boundless Solid Oil ($88) can do basically everything: moisturize, remove makeup, fade marks, repair hair, you name it. It might just replace all the hundreds of other bottles clogging up my vanity. 2018: the year of beauty minimalism. I'm calling it now." — KR

"This time of year, I find people are most curious about rose gold nail polish shades. I've always found Essie has the best shade, called Penny Talk, but it's more of a bronze or copper. Essie Gel Couture Gold Gilding ($12) is a true rose gold shade with staying power. The Gel Couture system requires no UV light to set. Just apply the polish, followed by the clear 'gel' top coat, and you've got a rose gold manicure that will last around two weeks." — KJ

"'Tis the season to be jolly — and by that, I mean get away with wearing holographic hair to the office. When that predictably midday frizz hits my strands, I work just the smallest amount of Saints & Sinners Illuminati Divine Shine Holographic Serum ($25, salons) into my hair. Not only does this sweet-smelling goo make my hair behave, but it also instantly adds an iridescent glow that looks so pretty on my frosty blonde. I look and feel like an ice princess, despite the fact that I haven't put on a pair of skates in 10 years." — AD

"'Tis the season of giving back. The Tarte Tarteist Pro Palette (Product)Red Palette ($53), launching on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day, helps benefit (RED) to raise funds to fight against the disease. Aside from that feel-good component, it is simply a gorgeous palette with incredible pigments and a mix of mattes and shimmers to complete all your holiday beauty looks. I've particularly fallen for Trendy, the shade on the bottom-most right corner that looks grayish in the pan but goes on a brilliant green-gold." — KR

"I've been testing a lot of candles this Winter, and Uma Pure Calm Wellness Candle ($68) is one of the longest-burning ones. My careless ass even left it burning for three hours while I went to go grab late-night margs and empanadas, and it did not burn down my apartment. (Do not be like me.) So thanks for that, Uma! And guess what — even after my smoky snafu, it's still burning. The thing just won't quit. Plus, it smells like chamomile and lavender, two stress-relieving scents that take me to my happy place." — AD

"True story: when Glow Recipe cofounder Christine Chang used the Wayskin Skin Analyzer ($80) on me, she found out my skin's moisture level was a seven. OUT OF 100. How devastating is that? Needless to say, this Bluetooth-enabled tool, which fits in my palm, is my new best friend. I plan to keep using it to hold me accountable about consistently moisturizing and seeing how effective all the products I'm using truly are." — KR

"I am a godd*mn unicorn on the inside, and now my face (and skincare routine) can finally reflect that. Besides being ridiculously cute, this Pretty Animalz Unicorn Antiblemish Sheet Mask ($4) really does work to target blackheads. After I pop this guy on (and take the requisite amount of selfies), my face feels so clean, and I shine brighter than Pegasus on New Year's Eve." — AD

"Eighty percent of the time, I fall in love with a product first because of its packaging. Chanel Le Signe Du Lion Illuminating Powder ($70) is no exception. Just look at this limited-edition burgundy compact! Plus, as a Leo (like Coco Chanel herself), I couldn't resist the Lion-shaped imprint on the highlighter. Combine all that with rose gold, the hue of the moment, and I'm completely sold. As for the powder itself, what I like is that it gives a glow that's not blinding, but softer and subtler. I'm kind of over the intense, metallic pearl streaks you see on cheekbones across Instagram and feel like this is the next step." — KR
