Welcome to Last Drop, where you can discover the newest and buzziest beauty launches hitting shelves near you.
CeraVe has been saving our skin for decades, and now it’s going to rescue our scalps. The dermatologist-loved skin care brand has finally branched out into hair care with two lines of shampoos and conditioners: One for hydrating dry scalps and the the other for combating dandruff. Like the rest of CeraVe’s products, the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo features ceramides to support the skin barrier and keep the scalp and hair moisturized. The formula also contains other skin- and hair-loving ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to ensure that the shampoo cleanses while avoiding stripping your strands.
Vichy Dercos, a line designed to eliminate dandruff and maintain hydrated strands, has touched down in the States. The serum in the line harnesses the gentle exfoliating powers of salicylic acid to treat the scalp between wash days. Irritated scalps are, well, irritating, and you can apply the formula up to four times a day to soothe itchiness and flakes whenever needed.
If there’s one thing you can expect from Narciso Rodriguez Parfums, it’s that it’ll always manage to come up with another stunning musky floral scent. The latest launch from the brand is a bolder version of the original All Of Me Eau de Parfum. The new version retains the mesmerizing blend of rose, geranium, and sandalwood but adds to the bouquet notes of black iris, jasmine sambac, and tuberose for a fragrance that’s sophisticated, feminine, and sexy all at once.
You know how your skin glows in a very particular way in moonlight? Now, you can replicate that shine at all hours of the day with Dibs Beauty’s new limited-edition highlighter, which you can use all over your face and your eyes. When you press your finger into the pan, you’ll notice that it feels melty and smooth, like butter—we have a feeling that that might have a little something to do with the nourishing mango, murumuru, and other butters packed into the formula. “Balm highlighters tend to get a bit sticky (my hair strands always seem to get caught in them like a Venus flytrap), while powder highlighters can cake over time. The ‘velvet cushion’ formula of these highlighters from DIBS Beauty is a powder-to-cream formula that combines the best of the balm and powder world. It’s buttery and silky, without feeling (or looking) tacky,” adds Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director.
Just in time for the thick of fall and Hailey Bieber’s birthday, Rhode is launching a brand new shade of the Peptide Lip Tint: Cinnamon Roll, a slightly warm brown with gold and red shimmer that smells exactly like its name. As someone who loves brown lip products and will recommend the Peptide Lip Tint to anyone who’ll listen, I’m pretty sure there’s nobody more excited about this than me.
Peptides have been around for a long time, but they’ve had a particularly big year in 2024. One of the latest to harness the ingredient’s plumping abilities is this face cream; the new formula has a blend of multiple peptides, ferulic acid, and linseed extract that works extra hard to firm the skin and smooth out fine lines.
French cool girl Jeanne Damas’s Les Filles en Rouje revealed its latest cream lipstick palette this month. Each of the four shades has a touch of warmth, but not obnoxiously so, and they melt into your natural lip color for a chic, my-lips-but-better vibe. Just like its predecessors, the formula itself is creamy, yet tenacious enough to stick to the lips and stay there. Because it’s so fun to dig in with your fingers, you might find yourself applying layer after layer and mixing all of the colors together—yet somehow, it resists looking thick and overdone. There’s also something so thrilling about whipping out the elegant gold compact for a quick touch-up on the go.
Paula’s Choice has revealed its own peptide lip treatment, a category that has exploded in recent years. This vanilla-scented lip balm is ultra-nourishing and packed with three different peptides and antioxidants that plump and protect the lips for hours after you first apply it.
It’s almost like Jimmy Choo peered into my brain and picked out some of my favorite notes (pear, jasmine, and sandalwood, to name a few) to put in this scent. I Want Choo is a floral, woody concoction with hints of fruitiness, and it’s a total crowd pleaser; it’s not so strong that it gives me a headache, but it’s powerful enough for passersby to pick up on the fragrance and compliment you on it.
Inside this stunning, weighty bottle is a warm and spicy skin scent that I think would smell wonderful on anyone and everyone, regardless of gender. While many skin scents may be difficult to smell unless you lean in close to the wearer, this musk-heavy fragrance makes a bit of a statement with saffron, which adds depth and leatheriness, and sandalwood, which offers a woody, creamy vibe.
