You didn't spend all your money this past Black Friday and Cyber Monday, did you? Oh, good. Because November 2018's beauty product launches are so wonderful and plentiful that you are definitely going to need to add at least one or seven to your almost-winter routine. Whether you are looking for a new hydrating moisturizer, holiday-perfect red lipstick, or Instagrammable hair tool, last month's newest beauty goods are here to deliver. Even better, they all make for great gifts. Who wouldn't want to wake up to a millennial pink hair dryer or an avocado face mask on Christmas morning?

But just because the holidays are around the corner doesn't mean all of this month's beauty product launches are infused with gold glitter and topped with tinsel (much to your dismay or not). Yes, there are some products that are perfect for the holidays — we're looking at you, Bumble and Bumble Glimmer Finishing Spray — but a lot of what came out this month focused on keeping your skin and hair healthy and safe from the impending doom that is winter climate.

Here are the best makeup, hair, skin care, and wellness launches from November. Pro tip: Send this link to your loved ones as a very conveniently curated wish list.
