Holiday beauty products tend to steal the spotlight. Gift sets come in glitzy packaging; makeup collections are bedazzled, glittery, and all-around eye-catching. And I think that's why I gravitate towards the other beauty products that launch in December -- they're the underdogs, and many of them are so much more fantastic than the gimmick-ridden holiday launches.

Skip ahead to see my favorite products launching this month.

While I try dozens -- even hundreds -- of beauty products every month, these are the six new ones I'm most excited about. I've used them, I love them, and now I finally get to talk about them. Prices run the gamut from a drugstore find for $5.99 to a $200, splurge-worthy gadget. And I've got makeup, skin, and hair all covered.

So when you're out doing your holiday shopping, take a minute to check out these launches -- then let me know: Do you think they're the best beauty products of the month?
