As a shopping editor, November is the most stressful month of my year. I've been hard at work searching for the best Black Friday deals for weeks, but in between the sale-hunting, I've been able to earn some respite the only way my beauty-obsessed self knows how—by testing new beauty launches, of course. From new perfumes for winter to a designer relaunch we went crazy for, November's best new beauty products have brought our team joy when we needed it most.

Most notably, the month saw plenty of new scents that had my fragrance-obsessed heart soaring. I, for one, have already made a sizeable dent in Kayali's latest gourmand perfume, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, despite only having it for a few weeks—it's just that yummy. Then there's BDK Parfums' Rouge Smoking Extrait, an ultra-sexy take on cherry that's a beast mode of a fragrance, so you can expect it to last forever. Meanwhile, Phlur's latest addition to its luxury candle lineup is the only scent I plan on burning all winter long.

I'd be remiss not to mention all of the happenings outside the fragrance world, too. When news of Burberry's Beauty relaunch at Nordstrom dropped, team Marie Claire was buzzing with excitement to try. And when Hailey Bieber's Rhode released a cinnamon roll-flavored lip tint, we were all betting when it would sell out (somehow it's still in stock). But that's not all November had to offer—to learn what else our team tested and loved this month, get the full rundown, ahead.
