30 New Beauty Buys With 5-Star Ratings at Sephora, Net-a-Porter, and Nordstrom
It's no secret there are countless product launches from the best and buzziest beauty brands coming in hot at a daily and weekly cadence. Not surprisingly, if you're good about checking the new-arrivals section of your favorite beauty retailers, you'll regularly see a fresh crop of offerings that, quite honestly, can feel overwhelming. Just when you decide one new dry shampoo or tube of mascara is worth splurging on, there are four brand-new options the following day. It's like a game of whack-a-mole that has a vendetta against your bank account.
As beauty editors, we consistently receive, test, and review all of the most exciting new formulas, but we also love to see and know what non–beauty editors are really sinking their teeth into. (There's nothing more satisfying than when a product we're completely obsessed with is met with the same approval among the masses.) So to celebrate the latest and greatest, we've trolled three of our favorite online beauty retailers—Sephora, Net-a-Porter, and Nordstrom—to locate the 30 best-selling, five-star, new-in products on their shelves. It's the perfect opportunity to build out your fall and winter beauty wardrobe.
Sephora
Known for its chocolate-themed palettes and compacts, Too Faced's newest 18-pan eye shadow palette is inspired by freshly baked gingerbread. No other product will get you in the holiday spirit faster.
Looking for a new signature scent this season? This Rome-inspired fragrance from Valentino features luxurious and elegant notes of black currant, jasmine, and bourbon vanilla.

If you love The Ordinary, we guarantee you'll fall just as hard for The Inkey List. For just $15, this new ceramide night treatment floods the skin with hydrating hyaluronic acid and barrier-protecting ceramides for even skin texture and firming perks.
Nothing is chicer than Chanel. To freshen up your fragrance wardrobe, we recommend this bottled bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and tuberose.
Everyone from makeup artists to Meghan Markle swears by RMS Beauty's "Un" Cover-Up Concealer—a longtime cult classic—so there's high anticipation surrounding this debut full-coverage cream foundation which follows the same formulaic design.
Adorable packaging aside, this honey bear houses the brand's best-selling Don't Despair, Repair! mask, but with an additional spike of organic, unpasteurized honey for an extra kick of hair hydration this winter.

It's easy to forget to give your brows some TLC. This nourishing brow oil from BBB London is super luxurious and tends to your brows overnight to promote growth and better brow health overall.
Water creams have been having a moment within the beauty industry, and this new formula from Philosophy is our newest favorite. (And reviewers agree!) It's insanely lightweight, sinks into your skin with lightning speed, and, according to the brand, increases your skin's hydration levels up to 86%.
Smooth as silk, this handy little stick from Chanel delivers the perfect dose of glow anywhere you apply it. We recommend sweeping and blending it onto your eyes, cheekbones, and lips for the prettiest sheer and dewy result.

She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
