Haus Labs by Lady Gaga has launched the Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil, a $32 waterless liquid bronzer in 11 shades, at hauslabs.com and Sephora US in October 2026. The brand describes it as a first-of-its-kind formula made with 70% skincare ingredients, with a serum-like texture intended to give 12 hours of sheer warmth.

What's New

The Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil is a new liquid bronzer from Haus Labs, and the brand marks it "Just Dropped" on its own site. Sephora US sells it as the Sun Dipped Hydrating Bronzing Veil for 12-Hour Wear and lists it as New. It was available at Sephora US by 5 October 2026.

According to Haus Labs, the waterless formula hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier while it is worn. The brand also says it is waterproof, sweat-proof and humidity-proof and wears evenly for up to 12 hours. Sephora lists the coverage as medium and the finish as natural.

Shades

The bronzer comes in 11 shades:

• Sand, Golden, Rise, Suede
• Dune, Sienna, Playa, Rich
• Mahogany, Oasis, Mirage

Key Ingredients

Haus Labs names these skincare ingredients in the formula:

• Wakame Extract: a marine algae that, the brand says, strengthens the skin barrier against environmental aggressors and helps maintain hydration
• Coastal Succulent Extract: said to boost hydration for smoother-looking skin
• Hyaluronic Filling Spheres: included for a smooth, hydrated appearance, per the brand
• Fermented Arnica and Phytosqualane

The Sephora listing also names Fermented Shiunko and Green Tea.

What the Brand Says

Haus Labs states that the bronzer is clinically and dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, vegan and cruelty-free. The brand ran a third-party consumer perception study with 52 participants aged 18 to 56. In that study, 94% agreed it wore evenly without patchiness after 12 hours, and 92% agreed it made skin look smooth without settling into fine lines. These figures come from the brand and were not independently verified.

Haus Labs also says $1 from every purchase supports mental health.

How to Use

Haus Labs advises using a small amount. On bare skin or over makeup, tap a few small dots onto the high points of the face where the sun naturally hits: the cheeks, the forehead and the end of the nose. Then blend with a full-bodied brush. The brand recommends its Dual-Ended Multi-Purpose Brush. The brand says the formula can be built up in layers for more depth.

Price and Availability

The Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil costs $32 for 7 mL at both Haus Labs and Sephora US. UK and international prices and availability have not been announced.

Herbivore Botanicals released the COCO ROSE Coconut + Tremella Illuminating Body Lotion, a 160 mL daily body lotion priced at $36, on its official website on 3 October 2026. The lotion pairs tremella mushroom, coconut water and plant-based oils with light-reflecting micro-pearls, which the brand says give skin a pearlescent glow.

What's New

The Illuminating Body Lotion is the newest addition to Herbivore's COCO ROSE body line. It is a leave-on lotion that combines moisture with visible shimmer. Herbivore describes the texture as "silky, lightweight, fast-absorbing moisture." It positions the formula for "giving dull, dry skin a lit-from-within glow."

The lotion joins these existing COCO ROSE products, all sold on herbivorebotanicals.com:

• Coconut + Tremella Milky Body Mist: $28
• Coconut + Sugar Body Polish: $40
• Tremella Cleansing Oil Body Wash: $28
• Tremella + Magnesium Bath Soak: $36
• Coconut + Peptide Lip Balm-to-Oil: $24
• Deodorant: $24

Key Ingredients: What the Brand Says

• Tremella mushroom: According to Herbivore, it can hold up to 500 times its weight in water. The brand says it works similarly to hyaluronic acid, drawing water into the skin for a plump, dewy look.
• Coconut water: Herbivore says it is naturally rich in electrolytes and helps replenish and rehydrate skin while enhancing its natural luminosity.
• Plant-based oil trio: The formula contains jojoba oil, coconut oil and vegan squalane. The brand says these provide deep moisture and absorb quickly without greasy residue.
• Rosehip fruit extract: According to Herbivore, it offers antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits for smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
• Micro-pearls: The brand says these light-reflecting particles create a refined, pearlescent sheen.

Scent

Herbivore lists the scent notes as coconut, rose, sweet berry and vanilla bean. Herbivore says the scent uses naturally derived fragrance and describes it as "sun-drenched coconut and vanilla bean with a hint of ripe berries and rose."

How to Use

Herbivore gives these directions:

1. Apply generously to clean, dry skin.
2. Massage over the body until fully absorbed.
3. Use daily, morning and night, or whenever skin needs extra moisture.

Packaging

Herbivore says its products are designed with recyclability in mind. The brand uses glass, aluminium and paper to reduce unnecessary plastic.

Where to Buy

• US: Herbivore Botanicals ($36). Subscribe & Save is available at $30.60.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Herbivore Botanicals ships internationally, with prices shown in USD. Local pricing is not yet confirmed.

UK budget brand Technic Cosmetics launched its Cherry Chocolate Collection on 1 October 2026, a six-product makeup line priced from £4.00 to £6.00 on the brand's own site. Technic announced the launch on Instagram the same day, describing the collection as inspired by desserts and built around chocolate tones, cherry shades and glossy textures.

Products and Prices

All six products are listed in stock on Technic's UK site:

• Black Forest 15-Pan Eyeshadow Palette (£6.00): According to Technic, the palette has one row of cream shadows, one of velvety powders and one of shimmers in cocoa, truffle, cherry and cream tones. The brand says it is talc-free.
• Cherry Lipgloss (£4.50 each): Technic describes it as high-shine with an oversized doe-foot applicator, a sweet cherry scent and cherry seed oil. The brand says it contains 0.1% cherry extract.
• Bitten Cherry Lip & Cheek Stain (£4.50): A sheer, buildable cherry stain that Technic says is smudge-resistant and infused with cherry extract.
• Colour Care Lip Balm (£4.50 each): According to Technic, it gives a sheer tint and soft shine, with a nourishing inner core containing vitamin E.
• Cherry Chocolate Lip Liner (£4.00 each): A creamy retractable liner.
• Cherry Cheeks Blusher Trio (£5.00): One cream blush, one shimmer cream and one powder blush.

Shades

The lip products come in paired cherry and chocolate shades:

• Cherry Lipgloss: Cherry Glaze (juicy cherry tint), Truffle Glaze (rich silky nude)
• Colour Care Lip Balm: Cherry Crush (juicy cherry tint), Cocoa Kiss (warm cocoa wash)
• Lip Liner: Cherry Noir (dark cherry), Cocoa Noir (rich cocoa brown)

What's Notable

No product costs more than £6.00, and Technic labels the whole range Vegan Friendly and PETA Approved. The palette's three-texture layout and the blusher trio's cream, shimmer-cream and powder mix fit the brand's pitch that the collection is "made for mixing, layering" rather than wearing each item on its own.

How to Layer the Collection

Based on the formats Technic lists:

1. Lips: Line with Cherry Noir or Cocoa Noir, fill in with the Bitten Cherry stain, then top with Cherry Glaze or Truffle Glaze for shine.
2. Cheeks: Tap the cream blush from the trio onto cheeks, set with the matching powder, and add the shimmer cream to the cheekbones.
3. Eyes: Use a cream shadow from the palette as a base and press a powder or shimmer shade over it.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Technic Cosmetics: Black Forest Palette (£6.00), Cherry Lipgloss (£4.50), Bitten Cherry Lip & Cheek Stain (£4.50), Colour Care Lip Balm (£4.50), Cherry Chocolate Lip Liner (£4.00), Cherry Cheeks Blusher Trio (£5.00)

Vitamasques has added Strawberry Gelato Maxi Glaze, a sheer pink tinted lip treatment priced at $9.99, to its Maxi Glaze line as a Target exclusive. The brand announced it on Instagram on 4 October 2026, and it is already listed on Target.

What's New

Strawberry Gelato is the newest shade in the Maxi Glaze family. It joins four shades already sold at Target, each also priced at $9.99:

• Vanilla Gelato
• Pink Marshmallow
• Berry Macaron
• Cocoa Crème

Vitamasques says it had been teasing the shade for months before the launch. The brand's announcement describes it as having sheer colour, intensive hydration and a sweet Strawberry Gelato scent. It also tagged the post #limitededition. Neither Vitamasques nor Target has said how long the shade will be sold.

Key Details

Target describes the formula as a cross between a lip mask and a gloss. According to the listing, it has a butter-balm texture that is cushiony and non-sticky, and it leaves a sheer, glossy pink tint.

The listing names these key ingredients:

• Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex
• Soluble collagen
• Multi-Peptide Complex
• Ceramides
• Shea, mango and cupuaçu butters

What the Brand Says

According to the Target listing, the formula contains a Maxi-Lip complex that is "designed to increase lip volume by +40% and boost hydration by +60% with consistent daily use." The brand says the plumping effect comes from hydration and peptides "with no sting," rather than from a tingling agent.

The listing also describes the product as cruelty-free and dermatologist tested. Because the listing is new, it has no customer reviews yet.

How to Use

The tube has a cooling metal applicator tip, which Target says stays cold to the touch for a soothing, depuffing feel. According to the listing, the sheer pink shade can be worn:

• On its own for a sheer tint and high shine.
• Layered over lip liner.

The brand's volume and hydration claims are based on consistent daily use.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Strawberry Gelato has the same $9.99 price and 0.5 fl oz size as the existing Maxi Glaze shades at Target. The differences are its juicy pink tint and strawberry scent. It is also the second "Gelato" shade in the range, after Vanilla Gelato.

Tom Ford Beauty has launched the Architecture Contour Duo in four shades, priced at $85 each, and it went live on tomfordbeauty.com on 1 October 2026. Sephora US sells the same product under the name Architecture Soft Matte Contour Duo, where it is labelled New.

What's New

The Architecture Contour Duo is a cream contour compact. Each one pairs a lighter shade with a darker shade. The four shades are named by intensity rather than by colour:

• Intensity 0.5
• Intensity 1
• Intensity 2
• Intensity 3

Together they run from light to deep. The brand's campaign images show before-and-after looks on four models, one for each intensity. Arm swatches show all four shades on different skin tones.

What the Brand Says

According to Tom Ford Beauty, the formula is cream-to-satin, lightweight and infused with light-diffusing pearls. The brand says the pearls "evenly diffuse light for three-dimensional radiance" and that the formula blends into the skin for a customisable, natural finish.

The brand gives each half of the compact a job:

• Use the darker shade for depth.
• Use the lighter shade to bring forward the high points of the face.
• Combine both to build intensity.

Tom Ford Beauty adds that the duo can also be used as cheek colour or to warm up the complexion.

Sephora's listing calls it "an iconic contour duo" designed "to sculpt features for natural-looking dimension." It highlights three ingredients: light-diffusing pearls, passionfruit oil and ginger extract. The brand's full ingredient list also includes moringa seed oil and tocopheryl acetate.

How to Apply

Tom Ford Beauty recommends this method:

1. Contour: Use the wider end of the Shade and Illuminate Brush 04. Apply the darker shade in short strokes along the underside of the cheekbone, or wherever you want a sculpted, bronzed look.
2. Blend: Soften the darker shade with Foundation Brush 02.
3. Highlight: Tap the lighter shade onto the high points of the face with the narrow end of Brush 04. Blend until it disappears.
4. Set: Apply Translucent Finishing Powder with Cheek Brush 06 where you need shine control.

Key Details

The contour duo is a separate product from the brand's other new face compact. Tom Ford also released the powder Architecture Highlighting Duo ($85) on 5 October 2026, in the shades Nudelight, Tanlight, Peachlight and Moodlight. We covered it in our Architecture Highlighting Duo post.

e.l.f. Cosmetics has launched the limited-edition e.l.f. POP Holiday Collection, also called the Tromsø Collection. It includes a $13 Spicy Bundt Nice Body Fragrance Mist, a $13 Silky Body Cream and a $12 Taste of Tromsø Travel Kit. The collection went on sale on 5 October 2026 at elfcosmetics.com and TikTok Shop, with Amazon as the exclusive retail partner from 6 October 2026.

It's one of e.l.f.'s launches this autumn. The other, the e.l.f. Squeeze Me Flavor Flashback Lip Balm, is a limited run of five $5 snack-flavoured lip balms, each with a matching charm.

What's New

The collection is built around a single scent, Spicy Bundt Nice. e.l.f. says it is inspired by an arctic holiday escape in Tromsø, Norway, with the Northern Lights and just-baked spice cake as reference points. e.l.f.'s scent graphic lists the notes as follows:

• Top: holiday spice cake and orange zest
• Heart: cardamom buttercream frosting
• Base: cedarwood and warm musk

Products and Prices

• Spicy Bundt Nice Body Fragrance Mist ($13): a 5.1 fl oz / 150 mL body spray. e.l.f. describes it as lightweight, buildable and layerable, and says it releases a "soft cloud" of scent that lasts.
• Spicy Bundt Nice Silky Body Cream ($13): a scented body cream that e.l.f. calls rich and silky but lightweight. The brand says it absorbs quickly and helps soften and smooth skin.
• Spicy Bundt Nice Taste of Tromsø Travel Kit ($12): travel-size versions of both the mist and the body cream. e.l.f. has not published the mini sizes.

e.l.f. describes the whole line as vegan and cruelty-free.

How to Use

e.l.f. positions the cream and mist as a pair. The brand says layering the Silky Body Cream with the Body Fragrance Mist makes the scent "pop" and gives a stronger scent experience.

A common layering order for scented body care is:

1. Apply the cream to moisturised skin.
2. Spritz the mist over the top.
3. Build up the mist gradually, since e.l.f. describes the formula as buildable.

The travel kit pairs the same two formulas for use on the go.

Rituals says Amber Addiction contains an "overdose of saffron."

What Does Rituals Aeonian Smell Like?

Going by the listed notes, the Fresh pair opens on Sicilian lemon or orange blossom, the Floral pair centres on white jasmine or Rose de Mai, the Woody pair settles on oudh or sandalwood, and the Sensual pair moves through amber or vanilla. Rituals describes its woody creations as "textured and commanding," its florals as "graceful yet expressive," and its fresh scents as wearing "like crisp linen on sun-warmed skin."

Rituals The Founder's Collection Fragrance Notes

According to Rituals, The Founder's Collection was "personally envisioned by Rituals' founder and his family, together with award-winning perfume house DSM-Firmenich." The brand has not named individual perfumers.

What Does Rituals The Founder's Collection Smell Like?

From the listed notes, the Fresh scents run from bergamot and aquatic notes to neroli and white musk, and the Woody scents finish on sandalwood or cashmere wood. The Sensual scents end on tonka bean or amber. Rituals describes the woody compositions as "grounded yet refined" and the florals as "romantic yet contemporary," leaving "a graceful, lingering trail."

When Did the REFY Shimmer Duo Set Launch?

REFY hasn't announced an official release date. The set appeared on REFY's UK site on 22 September 2026, available only by pre-order or waitlist. By 5 October 2026 it was on sale on REFY's UK, US and EU sites and at Sephora US. It is among the autumn 2026 launches in our BeautyTalkClub makeup releases coverage.

Price

• US: $34 on REFY US; $36 at Sephora US, which is $2 more than REFY's own US price.

Shades

REFY is offering two limited-edition shades. Each set contains one shade across both products.

• Gaia: a cool, green-gold glow.
• Solstice: a warm, bronzed shimmer. According to Sephora, Solstice is inspired by REFY's Chrome collection and is "a universally flattering Bronze Shimmer that delivers a subtle glow to full iridescence shimmer effect."

Both shimmer glosses also come in mini size in the Sephora-exclusive REFY Mini Lip Gloss Trio ($30). That trio pairs them with REFY's Clear gloss.

Where to Buy

On all three REFY sites, return requests must be made within 14 days of receiving the order, and only unopened, unused makeup can be returned.

What Makes the REFY Shimmer Duo Set Different?

• Each set matches one shade, Gaia or Solstice, across a cheek highlighter and a lip gloss.
• According to REFY, the Cream Shimmer is meant for cheekbones, eyelids and brow bone, and can be built from a subtle glow to full iridescence.
• It is limited edition and sold on REFY's UK, US and EU sites as well as at Sephora US, where it carries a different product name.

Formula and Ingredients

REFY describes the set as suitable for all skin types, dermatologically tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free, vegan and cruelty-free. According to REFY, the gloss is "weightless" and light-reflecting pigments give a "smooth, high-shine finish."

• Cream Shimmer: REFY's ingredient lists start with octyldodecanol, silica, calcium aluminum borosilicate, microcrystalline wax and synthetic beeswax.
• Shimmer Lip Gloss: a polyisobutene and tridecyl trimellitate base with jojoba seed oil, shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) and tocopheryl acetate.

REFY notes that ingredient lists may change and advises checking the packaging for the current list.

How to Use

REFY says to apply the Cream Shimmer with the fingers using light pressure, layering it to build intensity. For the gloss, REFY says to squeeze a small amount onto the metal applicator and glide it over the lips. It can be worn alone or over a lip liner such as REFY Lip Sculpt (sold separately), which we covered in REFY Lip Gloss and Lip Sculpt Lip Liner in Red.
