Personally, I also think it's a great time to invest in yourself. And the best way to do that, IMO: By picking up one of the fantastic new beauty products that have hit the market this month. To point you in the right direction (again, here to help), I've selected some of my favorite new innovations. They include a clever two-in-one eyeliner, a fabulously nourishing leave-in conditioner, and a brightening serum that harnesses the power of one of the trendiest ingredients.
I'm certain you'll find something on my list to get your skin glowing, make your hair healthy and shiny, and keep your makeup looking lovely—all just in time for holiday gatherings. It's the perfect way to give yourself a little pick-me-up during these crazy-busy times. You deserve it!
For hair that's party-ready 24/7, you'll want to turn to this silicone-free leave-in, which softens, smoothes, detangles, and keeps frizz at arm's length. So what's in there? An ultra-hydrating blend of fruit extracts (Kalahari melon seed oil, strawberry seed oil) that nourish and strengthen.
This limited edition body oil will be your ultimate glow-getter from now until the New Year. It's infused with tiny flecks of gold shimmer to give your skin a festive sheen as well as the classic Chanel fragrance.
If you haven't been introduced to the power of purple shampoo, you're missing out. For blondes and those with silver strands, these products work wonders, removing brassiness and keeping lighter shades glistening. This new one does all that plus infuses hair with a hefty dose of moisture (perfect for those who get their blonde from a bottle).

If you follow the skincare buzz like I do, you may know that tranexamic acid is having what we call "a moment." And with good reason: This ingredient is suited to all skin types and tones and helps to fade discoloration, even fading stubborn acne scars. This super serum pairs 3% of the ingredient with an antioxidant rich cocktail of several mushrooms and redness-fighting niacinamide.
It's a fact: Your skin loses loads of moisture at night. There's even a fancy word for it: trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). This sleeping mask address that handily, with a combination of calming chamomile and hydrating shea butter and squalane.
This one is pure fun: Just in time for the holidays, Valentino Beauty has introduced two shades of its Rosso Valentino refillable lipstick (a matte and multi-faceted red) with a chic studded bullet. It's so pretty, you won't want to use it (but, please do; the color payoff is fabulous).
A gentle scrub that's a companion to Renee Rouleau's cult-classic peel, this product refines skin with biodegradable jojoba beads that lift away discolored skin cells and protects your complexion with a blend of antioxidant-rich blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry extracts. It's a Thanksgiving pie in a tube—and your skin will eat it up.
DIBS does everything right when it comes to makeup, creating products that are intuitive and easy to use. Their new longwear eyeliner is no different—the four wearable shades glides across lids with no pulling and you can use the included connector to combine two shades into one sleek pencil. Oh, and you don't need a sharpener for this liner. Brilliant.
This weightless conditioner seals the hair's outer cuticle, increasing shine, manageability, and softness. It's meant to be a companion to the brand's best selling apple cider vinegar cleansing rinse.
From the brand that revolutionized skincare with a series of benefit-based regimens comes a high-tech line of haircare. One of the highlights: A moisturizing curl cream that adds shine and nourishment for beautiful definition that won't weigh hair down.
Flakes be gone! Sprinkle this water-activated powder onto your scalp to remove the grime and product build-up that shampoo can't tackle. Probiotics and salicylic acid refresh the skin so that what sprouts out of it (your hair) is thicker and more lustrous.
A gentle, microbiome-friendly cleanser that removes impurities while nurturing skin with oat extracts. It earns high marks for all skin types, but is particularly well-suited to those with a dry, dehydrated complexion. And, let's be honest, come winter, that's all of us.
For less than five bucks, you can snag an eye cream packed with powerhouse ingredients such as hydrating hyaluronic acid, magnesium, alpha hydroxy acids, glycerin, fatty acids, and niacinamide.
Give your skin an instant boost of radiance with a gold or bronze (shown here) sheen courtesy of this cocoa and shea butter-rich formula. It's specially designed to complement darker skin tones, but I think everyone can—and should—love this one.
This ingenious reparative mist strengthens hair up to two times, helping to restore broken bonds and compromised hair fibers so your mane looks majestic. It can also act as a heat protection to stave off future styling damage.
