The Beauty Products That Are Flying Off The Shelves in December

Copy link

Not to stress you out, but we’re less than two weeks out from Christmas and the panic should be starting to set in. If you want a window into what you should be buying for the beauty enthusiast on your list—and also come across like you’re really in the know— all you need to be aware of is what’s been selling like crazy these last few weeks. (Also, finding out what everyone else is buying can satisfy the nerdiest of the nosy among us). We checked in with four different Toronto beauty destinations to see what they couldn’t keep in stock. You can thank us later.

Tata Harper Créme Riche
($247, Jacob & Sebastian)

“We really didn’t expect that a $247 face moisturizer would literally FLY off of the shelves, but this one did. The JUST re-launched Creme Riche by all-natural beauty brand Tata Harper was likely on many a Christmas list. It is almost always men who are coming in and pulling up a screen shot on their phones to purchase the product for their partners. We did an in-store demo when the product first launched, and gave away free samples, so we assume that customers LOVED the product, but put it on their Christmas list since it is pretty expensive.” —Joel Dart, owner, Jacob & Sebastian

Tata Harper Revitalizing Body Oil
($126, Gee Beauty)

“This all-natural, nutrient dense body oil is a consistent best seller for holiday, season over season. I think it’s because it represents luxury but works with every skin type and age range. It’s a very luxurious gift that people wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves.” —Stephanie Gee, co-owner of Gee Beauty

Tips Nail Bar

Tips Nail Bar

Gold Derma Roller
($72, Well.ca)

“I got introduced to the gold derma roller when I had a treatment at Face Gym in London and bought one there. I became obsessed and brought in about 40 to Tips and they flew off the shelves in about two weeks. They’re visually stimulating--people would see them and say ‘what are those?' and would buy 3 or 4 at a time at $50 each. They had never used a tool like that but knew about jade rollers. We can’t get any more for another few weeks so we’ve missed the holiday boat, but you can buy one from well.ca.” —Leeanne Colley, owner of Tips Nail Bar

The Detox Market

1/3

The Detox Market

Odacité Skincare Crystal Contour Gua Sha
($47, The Detox Market)

“The biggest thing that is drawing people into the store is all of the social media awareness that’s been brought to crystal beauty tools. It all started with the jade roller, which most people are familiar with, and then Odacité released their gua sha stone. Skeptism is obviously a big thing, but people were starting to see improvements just using them themselves at home. Puffiness is a big one but people have also been using it more strategically for detoxification, lymphatic drainage and even sinus relief.” —Laura Townsend, marketing director, The Detox Market
