6 Products to Buy this December

Sure, it's the season of giving, but that doesn't mean you can't give a few beauty goodies to yourself. These are the six best beauty product launches this month.

Holiday beauty products tend to steal the spotlight. Gift sets come in glitzy packaging; makeup collections are bedazzled, glittery, and all-around eye-catching. And I think that's why I gravitate towards the other beauty products that launch in December -- they're the underdogs, and many of them are so much more fantastic than the gimmick-ridden holiday launches.

Skip ahead to see my favorite products launching this month.

While I try dozens -- even hundreds -- of beauty products every month, these are the six new ones I'm most excited about. I've used them, I love them, and now I finally get to talk about them. Prices run the gamut from a drugstore find for $5.99 to a $200, splurge-worthy gadget. And I've got makeup, skin, and hair all covered.

So when you're out doing your holiday shopping, take a minute to check out these launches -- then let me know: Do you think they're the best beauty products of the month?

I don't really like chubby sticks, but everything else looks great!

I have heard so much lately about Ecotools. I was reading a comment by a person who is interested in trying the lashes. I have a bunch of them but have never worn them, came in beauty boxes etc, quite frankly they scare me, perhaps this brand might be less extreme??? Overall a good roundup of products, enjoyed this article

I have used half of these products, all awesome and can\'t wait to try the others. My daughter and I are obsessed with the Clinique Chubby Sticks, highly recommend them! I\'m curious to try the Aveda product, I have the same hair type you described. I never had much luck w/that product line but will definitely try this product!

i bought my sampler approx 9/5 and there wasn't a coupon for e-salon hair color and i still haven't gotten it resolved...i enjoyed the other items but one of the whole reasons was the jhair color....wish they would finally resolve it between them and e-salon so i can buy more of these fun packages!!!!
