Clarisonic Aria and Lancome Creme Radiance, Visionnaire and Genifique, $199
I have -- and love -- a Clarisonic Mia, but the poor contraption has been used to death. It's sad, tired, and crusty. Every time I take it out of my medicine cabinet, I wish it were its fancier sister -- the Aria -- with three speeds, two timers, and a sleek white finish. Starting December 1st, and for a limited time, you can get your hands on an Aria and three Lancome products. It might just be the incentive I need to splurge -- and retire my Mia.
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 otherbeauty products that launch in December -- they're the underdogs, and many of them are so much more fantastic than the gimmick-ridden holiday launches.
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?
