November Beauty Breakthroughs: 5 Current Favorites You’ll Love
As the calendar flips to November, it’s hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by. Between the rush of life and the ever-evolving world of beauty products, it can feel overwhelming to keep up. Yet, amidst the frenzy, I’ve discovered five beauty gems that have become integral to my daily routine this past month. If you’re in need of some product inspiration, look no further. Here’s a rundown of my must-have beauty staples that are simply too good to keep to myself!
1. Glossier You Eau de Parfum – £45
Firstly, let’s talk fragrance. Glossier You has rapidly made its mark, especially since its launch in the UK, with many beauty enthusiasts adding it to their collections. This debut scent is not just another fragrance; it’s an experience. Describing it can be a challenge, but the essence is subtle, creamy, and warm. This perfume is crafted to enhance your natural skin scent rather than overpowering it, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer a more intimate scent. While some draw comparisons to Escentric Molecule’s Molecule 01, I would argue that Glossier You stands out in its own right, delivering a unique olfactory delight that feels incredibly personal and distinctive.
2. Glossier Generation G in Cake – £14
When it comes to lip color, I often find myself chasing that perfect balance between bold and subtle. Enter Glossier Generation G in Cake – a dreamy, sheer matte lipstick that meets my craving for everyday wear. The texture is a lovely hybrid of lipstick and tinted balm, offering a lightweight feel while providing impressive pigmentation. The color itself is a soft nude with a hint of peach, blending beautifully with my natural lip color. While it does present a bit of dryness due to the matte finish, it’s undeniably a shade you’ll want to reach for daily, especially with winter’s chill in the air. I already have my eyes set on adding Generation G in Leo and Like to my lipstick lineup!
3. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream – £70
Skincare is the foundation of any beauty routine, and Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream has become my go-to moisturizer. This rich cream is more than just a pretty jar; it boasts a potent mix of hydrating ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, and vitamin E. It also features SPF15, offering a dual benefit for your morning routine. Each application feels luxurious, leaving my skin soft and ready for makeup. The only downside? The packaging. While it’s aesthetically pleasing, dipping fingers into a pot can diminish the product’s potency over time. However, for those with parched or dull skin, it’s worth every penny—a true magic potion!
4. BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector – £21
No one is immune to sleepless nights, and when dark under-eye circles decide to make an appearance, I turn to BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector. This delightful peachy-pink corrector is a game-changer. When layered beneath concealer, it works miracles to brighten and awake the eye area. The creamy texture glides on smoothly, and with just a tap of my fingers, it blends beautifully, illuminating my tired eyes. It’s essential, though, to set it with a powder to avoid any creasing. As someone who has struggled with those stubborn dark circles, this product has earned a permanent spot in my makeup arsenal.
5. Too Faced Love Light Highlighter in Blinded By The Light – £25
Highlighter enthusiasts, rejoice! Too Faced Love Light Highlighter is everything you could wish for in a glow-inducing product. While the name may suggest a blinding effect, the reality is far more subtle. This prismatic highlighter provides a soft beige pearl finish with just a hint of shimmer, perfect for a natural, everyday look. Its buildable nature allows for a little glam when desired, while the heart-shaped packaging adds a touch of whimsy to my beauty collection. Although it’s vying for space alongside my beloved Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder, it’s a worthy contender.
