The Best New Beauty Products That Landed This Month
There's always a lot going on at your favorite beauty haunts this time of year. Most of the buzz is around those super giftable sets that undoubtedly make their way under the tree ready to be unwrapped with cries of glee on Christmas morning. But beyond the bows and sample-sized sets are a few hidden gems that are coincidentally hitting shelves at the very same time as the lipstick trios complete with sparkly packaging. Now is not the time to get distracted by all that glitters. Set your eyes on the best new beauty launches to hit shelves this December for a lineup of new goods that are primed to be 2020 favorites.
IT Cosmetics Pillow Lips Lipstick
The new collagen-infused, hydrating lipstick from IT Cosmetics has us putting our best pout forward. It comes in 14 shades with two finishes: cream and matte. Both formulas feature the brand's Tri-Oil Complex (a blend of jojoba oil, sesame seed oil, and peppermint oil) that soothes, smooths, plumps, and softens lips—all while imparting long-lasting color. Pictured here is Stellar, a true red with a cream finish.Â

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum
If you're not already familiar with Murad, let us make the introduction: The brand's Retinol Youth Renewal Serum has clinched the spot for the number one retinol product in the country for three years running. This month, Murad launched three reformulated retinol products: their cult-favorite Youth Renewal Serum, Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream, and Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum. The brand claims the new formulas are so gentle they can even be applied to the eyelids (you read that right). Use each product solo or layer for the ultimate anti-aging triple-threat. Â

A full eye wardrobe, for less than $20? There's a reason Milani is always one of our go-to budget beauty mainstays. The collection of 16 shades in gilded hues will give just a touch of sparkle. Stick to the neutral shades on your lids. Apply the deeper shades with a liner brush just above the lashes for a soft, moody look.

Finding the right level of moisture for your hair can be tricky.
