It's that time of the year again: ELLE's pre-Christmas issue has landed, and it is jam packed full with ways to wrap up warm this season. With winter coats that suit everyone from just £75; an exclusive interview with Natalie Portman by Tom Hiddleston; and the latest beauty tips and tricks to date, we know you're going to love reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

We know that if you haven’t already got your copy of this months issue, you will be counting down the hours till work is over to pick it up. But in the meantime we thought we would give you some cheeky teasers of what we have in-store for you, beauty-wise...

- Lisa Eldridge answers the question that is on most of our lips: ‘What do primers actually do?’ Ensure that you know the best ones to add to your beauty kit.

- Ever looked at the catwalk trends and thought, ‘looks amazing but I’d NEVER take that beauty trend round the streets’? (We all have at some point, right?) The ELLE Beauty Team will make you think twice though as they take their Trial-A-Trends to a new level on pages 294-296.

- Get ready to add the latest beauty trend from Marc Jacobs to your Christmas List (We WANT this).

- Over on Beauty Brief, this month's hot topic is skin revivers, plus friends with skin benefits (not how it sounds) and plenty more exciting beauty secrets that our Beauty Director, Sophie Beresiner, doesn’t share with just anyone y’know. Only important ELLE readers.

- Always wanted to create a smoky eye without looking like a panda? Head to page 305 for the master class.

- Who said beauty had to be expensive? Team ELLE certainly doesn’t think so. We tried out all the latest low-cost beauty buys so we can tell you which ones are the top performers at a bargain price on page 311.

- Pull up a pew and get an insight into what the ELLE beauty desk chat about, Instagram, test and discuss with our all important Twitter followers.

And FINALLY, Senior Beauty Writer Amy Lawrenson chats about how bad posture could possibly be the causes of aches and pains. Sound familiar?

Phew! List over. That’s just a tiny bit of a the issue (we did say only some cheeky teasers)! Now all you need to do is grab the latest issue. Go, go!

We’d love to hear your thoughts on our November issue. Tweet us @ELLEBEAUTYTEAM.
