Somehow it seems like really great, beautifully packaged natural products are still hard to find. Indie Lee, however, ticks all the boxes. If you're looking for a gateway product, try the Indie Lee Grapefruit Citrus Bath Soak, $28, which is affordable, smells like a bushel of grapefruit and detoxifies skin and soothes tired muscles when added to a warm bath.

Sugar Spray is the New Salt Spray
Though I love the texture I get from salt sprays, most leave my hair dry and crunchy. Paul Mitchell Neon Sugar Spray, $11.99, contains sugar instead of salt, which creates the same amazing texture and hydrates while it works. Plus, it smells vaguely of dessert -- all I ever want.

Everlasting Eye Shimmer
Urban Decay Liquid Moondust, $22, might be even better than the original Moondust shadow. The applicator is a skinny brush so you can paint the color along your lash line or smudge it out for more drama. Add a few coats, and the effect is full-on 3D metallic. And of course they're long wearing, never smudge and come in the most gorgeous colors. (My personal favorite is Zodiac, a black-green.)

A Natural Spray Deodorant
Spray deodorants are back, but until now you could only find big-name brands in spray form. And natural deodorant options are even more limited -- you're lucky if you don't have to scoop the stuff out of a jar. Jason Spray Deodorant, $10.99, is just as great a spray as the conventional kinds -- it's a light mist, it dries in seconds, and the scents are gorgeous. Sure, you're not going to have the serious wetness and odor fighting power of aluminum, but give this version 30 days to let your body adjust, and you'll be able to go au naturel -- with confidence.

The Only Vitamin You Need
Vitamins are tricky business. The FDA doesn't regulate supplements (and the fillers added to them) closely, and many doctors say you don't absorb the majority of what's in a capsule because you're already getting it from food. It makes taking a daily vitamin seem like a waste of time and money.
Ritual Essential For Women, $30, is trying to make the proposition more enticing. They source ingredients from clean sources, and they're transparent about it. And each capsule only contains the vitamins and minerals you're most likely to need. Add to that the fact that it comes delivered to your door each month for $30, and you might want to get back on the vitamin train.
Before you find yourself knee-deep in holiday shopping, take some time from yourself -- to shop for the best new beauty products launching this November, of course. These goodies range from soothing citrus bath soak (to relax before you start planning Turkey Day) to shimmery liquid glitter shadow (to ensure your holiday makeup game is on point) to invigorating face oil (to fight seasonal dryness). There's something to delight all of your senses and fulfill your every beauty need. Happy shopping.
