Beauty brands are dropping new products at lightning speed, and sorting through every eye shadow palette, CBD serum, and mascara launch can start to feel like a full-time job. Lucky for you (and not to brag, but us too), that’s literally what our beauty team is paid to do. We dig through the piles of stuff that crosses our desks each month to narrow down the best new beauty products worth your time and money. If you’re wondering whether that new shampoo, eyeliner, or moisturizer is really as good as it claims to be, you can count that we’ve tried them and will be sharing our favorite things each month, below.

While December’s launches are largely holiday-oriented (check out some of our gift guides for more faves), we also found the perfect vegan nail polish, a moisturizing primer with Victoria Beckham’s seal of approval, and a fragrance you’ll want to wear to every holiday party. Check back throughout the month as we add more new products we can’t stop talking about.
