November surprised me with a mix of beauty product launches. If your skin and hair are asking for repair and a little sensory joy before the holidays, this batch has you covered. Below I’ve picked the standouts you should know about — the ones I’d reach for, recommend to friends, or at least want to try on a grey evening.
Practical glamour: Patrick Ta Major Dimension Essential Artistry Edit
Makeup that respects packing space is underrated. Patrick Ta’s new six-pan palettes offer neutral ranges tailored for light, medium and deep tones, with powders infused with hyaluronic acid and squalene for silkiness. They’re travel-friendly and do both day and night looks. If you like makeup that behaves like skincare — smooth, blendable, forgiving — these palettes are smart buys.
Skin food, but make it a body wash: Weleda Skin Food Body Wash
You probably know the OG Skin Food cream — a cult classic for nearly a century. This month Weleda took that cozy, herbal formula and translated it into a thick, creamy body wash. It’s packed with chamomile, calendula, pansy, rosemary and humectants like glycerin and carrageenan to lock in moisture. At ten dollars, it’s one of those rare drugstore-luxury bridges: familiar, comforting, and actually useful in dry weather. If your shower routine needs one product that immediately reads as nourishing, this is it.
A lip scrub that tastes like summer: Fully (Green Tomato) Smoothie Lip Scrub
Lip care blew up in 2025, and this scrub shows why. FULLY skips water and leans on food-based extracts, using organic sugar to buff and tomato seed oil, coconut oil and shea to soothe. It smells and tastes delicious — yes, that matters — because you will literally lick your lips after using it. Simple, effective, and honest. If you haven’t been treating dead skin on your lips like a necessary prep step, this will make you convert.
Toner that rewrites the rules: G.M. COLLIN Peel Toner Exfoliant
Unlike many formulas that gather dust, this multi-acid toner actively changes your skin and demands consistency. It blends salicylic acid (BHA) for pores, glycolic and lactic acids (AHAs) for surface renewal, and gluconolactone (PHA) for gentle exfoliation, rounded out with allantoin, aloe vera and sodium hyaluronate for hydration. The result is exfoliated, smoother, brighter skin without that tight, stripped feeling. Use it on face, neck and chest. If you’re not exfoliating regularly, this could be the product that changes your routine for the better.
Haircare that learns from salons: Highbrow Hippie Instant Silk Vitality Mask
Kadi Lee and Myka Harris spent years testing this one on real clients, and it shows. This mask is a lightweight multi-oil plus shiitake mushroom extract and probiotic ferment; it’s designed to be used from scalp to ends and claims repair in 30 minutes. It’s rare to find a hair mask pitched genuinely for all hair types and backed by hands-on salon testing. If your hair’s been brittle, or your scalp has been temperamental, give this a try — you might be surprised how quickly it smooths and balances.
Celebrity-esthetician skincare you can actually buy: Keren Bartov Advanced Skin Serum
Keren Bartov has a reputation for results in-clinic; this barrier-repair serum aims to replicate that at home. It’s silky, heavy on plant-based fatty acids, ceramides and emollients, and it focuses on quick restoration rather than a long-term promise. If you want something that immediately makes your skin feel soothed and put-together, this serum is worth the splurge. For people who can’t see Bartov in London or Tel Aviv, it’s the next best thing.
At-home facial, rethought: Shark FacialPro Glow Hydro-Powered System
Shark’s new system blends spa-level steps into a home kit: cold de-puffing and a multi-function device that exfoliates and infuses hydration. It’s ambitious — and the sort of device that will appeal if you already enjoy ritualistic skincare. If you want a one-stop contraption to mimic a facial experience, this is probably the most thoughtful at-home approach I’ve seen lately.
November’s batch is oddly comforting: moisture-rich launches, texture-improving actives, and a few items made for atmosphere. My personal impulse? Try the Weleda wash and the Highbrow Hippie mask on a weekend reset, add the G.M. COLLIN toner in the evenings, and light the Daniel Martin votive when you want to feel quietly celebratory.
