15 Beauty Drops Our Editors Loved This Month

“When it comes to Rhode, I am always the first one to get hype over a new drop. Just in time for the holidays, the brand has released a new delicious lippie to swoon over: Cinnamon Roll. The bronzed tint has a heavy dose of gorgeous shimmer, and looks gorgeous over a deeper lip liner — plus, the high-gloss finish is met with luxe hydration that makes your lips kissably soft. Obsessed.” — Olivia Rose Rushing, beauty writer, Bustle

“’Tis the season for cozying up at home and lighting the yummiest candles you can find — like the newest Phlur scent, Vanilla Smoke. With notes of birch, white chocolate, cashmere vanilla, and incense, it truly is the perfect wintertime aroma that brings nostalgic comfort to your space.” — ORR

“I seriously love a seasonal scent, and this ultra-lush Holiday Whipped Body Butter smells of icy mint and sweet vanilla. Not only does the thick, creamy butter effortlessly hydrate my growing baby bump, but the subtle shimmer creates the prettiest glow all over your skin. I’ll be needing a refill soon.” — ORR

“Year-round — and especially as the weather gets chillier — I’m drawn to delicious gourmand perfumes, and the latest from KAYALI is both warm and playful all at once. The strawberry and pink marshmallow notes are sweetly coquettecore, while the aromas of whipped vanilla and sheer musk create depth (without adding too much heaviness that overwhelms the senses). ‘Sugar plum fairy’ makeup, meet the prettiest ‘sugar plum fairy’ perfume to match...” — ORR

“Iota makes an incredible body wash — it's hydrating, gentle, and lathers like a dream. But now, with its Oishii Berry version, an already A-plus formula has become utterly irresistible. I look forward to showering because the fruity scent is absolute heaven (you'd understand if you've ever tried one of those TikTok-famous strawberries from Japan). Plus, the body wash is pink. It's a must-have.” — Rachel Lapidos, senior beauty editor

“Just in time for winter, Keys Soulcare released two new shades of its cult-beloved Illuminating Priming Serum, which is basically a skin-nourishing highlighter that amps up your glow when you wear it underneath foundation (or alone). The golden Bronze Aura hue keeps me looking sun-kissed, despite having absolutely zero color left from the summertime.” — RL

“Meet the yummiest gourmand perfume I've ever smelled. Inspired by an après ski hot cocoa in the Alps, it has sugary notes of chocolate, almond, cream, vanilla, tonka bean, and caramel — everything you'd want in a dessert. The scent will wrap you up with a cozy sweetness that'll bring delight with every whiff.” — RL

“If this past fashion month's ‘more is more’ makeup trends have anything to say, face gems aren't going anywhere — especially during the holiday season. Violette_FR's latest launch is making dazzling eye makeup a cinch with its variety pack of chic, self-stick jewels. There are teardrop-shaped ones, plus three eyeliner styles in multiple hues for all of your festive looks.” — RL

“Kelly Zhang is an LA-based makeup artist known for her elegant, stunning aesthetic — which is why it's no surprise that she *also* makes a line of ‘no makeup’ makeup products. Her namesake brand's Tinted Primer has become a new favorite in my routine. It gives the perfect amount of light coverage while leaving my skin looking like a smoother version of itself. Plus, the SPF 20 adds a nice boost after applying my go-to sunscreen.” — Faith Xue, beauty director, BDG

“I've been obsessed with doing gua sha with facial oil. Now that the winter chill has set in, I've been reaching for Phoenix — a golden elixir made with rosehip, sea buckthorn, and chia seed oils that leaves my skin ridiculously glowy in the morning.” — FX

“This do-it-all hair primer, smoother, frizz-fighter, and hydrator is like a trusty moisturizer for my hair. It always adds a dose of moisture, without weighing my hair down or feeling greasy, and is an incredibly versatile product that really does it all — from post-shower to on-the-go.” — FX

“You might not think a foot cream could be glamorous, but that's probably because you haven't tried this one from KOBA. It comes in a sleek, green aluminum tube that looks as chic as the fanciest hand lotions on my nightstand, but it's the formula instead that's a standout. It's buttery, ridiculously rich, and sinks in almost immediately when I apply it on my cracked heels. I apply before bed, put on my favorite pair of fuzzy socks, and wake up with baby-soft feet.” — FX

“This light-as-air whipped moisturizer has been my go-to daytime moisturizer. Made with a hefty dose of skin-brightening vitamin C (10%!), soothing niacinamide, and a bunch of other skin-cocooning natural ingredients, it feels like a treat to apply — and keeps my combination skin in check.” — FX

“The glossy and moisturizing Slick Salve is one of my all-time favorite lippies, and the new Açaí flavor has now joined the coveted list. Maintaining the lustrous finish and hydrating feel synonymous with the original, the added plus of this new tint is the stunning berry-colored finish. When going for a full glam look, I pair it with a brown lipliner to add depth and dimension to my pout.” — Jordan Murray, associate beauty editor

“When it comes to natural highlighters, the limited-edition DIBS GlowBounce takes the cake. Leaving a beautiful, multi-dimensional shine, this formula instantly transitions from a powder to a cream for optimal blending. Plus, the buttery feel makes the product perfectly melt with the rest of your base for a glowy look (without looking greasy on my skin).” — JM
