The Beauty List: 9 Must-Have Products of November 2021

by Harper's BAZAAR ArabiaNovember 1, 2021November 18, 2021

From a fragrance that explores rose’s spicy side, to mix-it-yourself vitamin C and a lipstick that doubles up as a trinket, these are the products defying the norm…

COME UP SMELLING OF ROSES

Meet the perfume that will set you apart from the citrus crowd. It tethers rose to patchouli and pepper for a deliciously spicy finish that excels at making this bloom (rightfully) unisex.

MIST UP

If you’re a fan of Ojar’s fragrances, then you’ll love this lighter take. Prickly pear oil and cactus water lock in moisture – plus with 18 scents to choose from, you can have them on rotation.

GET FRESH

Even classics need to reinvent themselves sometimes. Drunk Elephant’s update on its beloved C-Firma Day Serum separates a liquid phase from the vitamin C, allowing you to mix it for a potent skin-brightening hit.

FLOWER POWER

Ideal for the floral lover who can’t resist wearing petal-fresh fragrances year-round. The bottle is almost too fabulous to use (almost), but inside you’ll be rewarded with a bouquet of jasmine, rose and ylang ylang, which dries down to warm amber and patchouli. Heaven.

ON THE LASH

This hair conditioner and growth serum in one leans on biotin, peptides and vitamin B-rich green tea to improve flexibility and protect against breakage. Prepare for lashes so long they tickle the skin under your brows.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

You asked and Professor Bader delivered. This eye cream, housed in a luxe re-usable ceramic container, is formulated with his TFC8 complex, which encourages stem cells to renew, and niacinamide to de-puff and smooth.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM

As swoon-worthy as a pair of Louboutin shoes, this refillable collection of lipstick includes three cases, six charms and 15 shades – from vampy Burgundy Babe to Peach Cabaret. Time to play.

NECK’S BIG THING

Now that ‘tech neck’ (hunching over your smartphone) is contributing to sagging, you’ll want to reach for the strengthening rye seed and resurrection plant extracts in this gel to help your skin snap back.

**Dermalogica** Neck Fit Contour Serum, Dhs410

A MULTITASKING MUST

This nine pan palette brings peaches, khakis and burnished metallics to the table for every day or an after dark, smoked-out eye. Think buttery textures that glide across your lids in one fell swipe.
