Lisa Eldridge
For all there is to dread about winter (early sunsets and cold temperatures), the upcoming season is still exciting. There’s the socially-acceptable excuse to cancel all plans because it’s snowing out, hot toddies are back on cocktail menus, and of course, fully leaning into the holidays by getting dressed to the nines in a glitzy party look. And just in time for all of the nights in and the festive fêtes, November 2024’s best new beauty products have arrived to help you ward off the winter blues in your routine.
There’s a common theme among this month’s launches: hydration. And rightfully so – dryness is one of the biggest seasonal concerns. For your skin, revamp your entire lineup with moisturizing products, such as Sonsie’s Cleansing Mousse and e.l.f. Skin’s Thirst Burst Drops. The same goes for your hair, and CeraVe’s Gentle Hydrating Shampoo won’t leave strands brittle. Even makeup brands have gotten the memo. This month’s new lip products like Lisa Eldridge’s full-coverage matte lipsticks and Maybelline’s Teddy Tint are nourishing and creamy.
Keep reading to discover all of the just-landed skin care, makeup, and hair care products to add to your routine ahead of winter.

Best New Rich Moisturizer
Multi-Peptide Rich Cream
Sub-zero temps call for an ultra-rich moisturizer that will restore and protect dry, weather-worn skin. Thankfully, Naturium’s Multi-Peptide Rich Cream comes in at the perfect time. It’s formulated to replenish and restore skin while simultaneously addressing common concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and uneven tone. The secret lies in its blend of peptides and feuric acid.

Thirst Burst Drops
Think of e.l.f. Skin’s hydrating serum as a tall glass of water for extremely thirsty skin. It’s stacked with an all-star lineup of ingredients, including a hibiscus complex, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Who said winter isn’t dewy skin season?

Cleansing Mousse
For those with sensitive skin, foaming cleansers often make you recoil in fear. However, Sonsie’s mousse still creates a lather without causing irritation and dryness. The soothing face wash has ginger root extract to reduce redness and irritation plus a touch of calming rose essence. Expect cleansing to feel like less of a chore this winter.

Best New Multitasker
SuperStay Teddy Tint
One of fall’s biggest makeup trends is a lived-in smudged lip, and if you’ve been influenced to take the look for a spin, Maybelline’s Tint couldn’t have dropped at a better time. The velvety formula offers sheer, buildable coverage that’s matte, but not drying. Better yet, apply any of the 10 shades to your cheeks for a full monochromatic look.
Maybelline New York –Best New Refillable Lipstick
Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick
Even if you’re laying low on the holiday party circuit this year, you can inject a little glamour in your day-to-day look via Lisa Eldridge’s cream lipstick.

Inspired by vintage makeup, it’ll double as decor on your vanity for years to come.
Lisa Eldridge –Best Plumping Lip Gloss
Tinted Lip Filler
Plump, juicy lips are just a swipe or two away when you have Macrene Actives’ nourishing lip balm on deck. The dermatologist-founded brand used plant-derived pigments, plus tried-and-true skin care actives like peptides, microencapsulated hyaluronic acids, and ceramides to land on the perfect formula. It comes in four core shades, plus clear.

Best New Shine Spray
Shine Mist
You don’t need actual glitter to inject a little sparkle into your beauty routine this holiday season. Super healthy, glossy hair is an equally impactful alternative to shimmery eyeshadow or crystal hair accessories. If shiny strands is the route you’re going to take, finish off your styling session with this lustre-boosting mist by Zara Hair. Created in partnership with runway hairstylist Guido Palau, it’s lightweight and non-greasy so it works well on all textures.
