Prada Beauty is launching the Prada Lip Jelly in Japan for autumn 2026. It goes on sale early on 25 September 2026 and nationwide on 2 October 2026, at ¥7,700 each. The lip treatment combines the comfort of a balm, the glassy shine of a jelly and a caring effect in one compact. It comes in two versions: a cooling, menthol-infused blue and an intensive moisture formula.

What's New: A Balm That Turns Into Jelly

The Prada Lip Jelly starts as a solid balm. Body heat turns it into a jelly as it is applied. The formula glides on, then forms a protective film that wraps the lips like a lip mask. It is designed to combine a cushiony feel, a glossy shine and treatment benefits.

According to Prada Beauty, the formula contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for hydration and soothing care. The brand says its moisturising benefits last up to 24 hours.

The Two Versions

Prada Lip Jelly 01: Cooling Blue

This version is a clear blue with menthol, which gives a cooling sensation on application. According to the brand, it:

• Adds a natural plumpness
• Smooths rough, uneven texture
• Leaves a translucent, glossy shine

Prada Lip Jelly 00: Intensive Moisture

This clear green version is aimed at dry or lined lips. It is a rich, moisturising formula that, according to Prada Beauty, helps vertical lip lines look less visible. The brand says it:

• Helps prevent moisture loss
• Protects the lips' barrier function
• Leaves lips looking plump and smooth

How to Use Prada Lip Jelly

The product can be used in several ways:

• On its own: For a glossy, cared-for finish.
• As a lip base: A thin layer before lipstick smooths texture so colour goes on more evenly.
• As a top coat: Layered over lipstick for a jelly-shine finish. The blue 01 adds a translucent gloss.
• As a night treatment: A generous layer of 00 before bed works like an overnight lip mask.

Tip: Warm the balm briefly with a fingertip or against the lips before spreading. Because the texture changes with body heat, it melts into the jelly more easily.

What the Brand Says

Prada Beauty describes the Lip Jelly as genderless. It comes in a triangular compact that reinterprets Prada's triangle motif and is priced at ¥7,700 in Japan.

Price and Release Date

The Prada Lip Jelly costs ¥7,700 each (Japan price, tax included).

• Early release: 25 September 2026 at Prada Beauty Tokyo and other stores
• Nationwide release in Japan: 2 October 2026

International availability has not yet been announced.

Products and Shades

Skin Shadow Designing Palette 12 UNexpected Wonderland

This is a sheer "skin-tone colour" eyeshadow palette. It pairs three mauve pinks with a cool blue shimmer, and its packaging shows Alice and the Cheshire Cat. DECORTÉ describes the colours as mysterious, as if lost in a forest. According to the brand, the shades melt onto the lid and stay clear rather than muddy, even when layered. In DECORTÉ's suggested look, shade D goes over the whole eyelid and the lower lid. Shade B is then layered from the lash line to the centre of the lid, and over shade D on the lower lid. The palette joins DECORTÉ's other Skin Shadow launches, such as the Decorté Eye Glow Gem Skin Shadow in Dewy Glow and Silky Matte.

Rouge Decorté Cream Glow 33G Wonder Key

The lipstick comes in a limited blue-toned rose pink. DECORTÉ says it gives rich moisture, a plumper-looking lip and a refined shine. The brand also says the shade gives the complexion a healthy flush.

Flawless Skin Glowrizer Lost Petal SPF20/PA++

The primer comes in a limited lavender beige. According to DECORTÉ, it blends into the skin and blurs dullness, uneven tone and pores. The brand also says it brightens skin tone and adds a lit-from-within glow.

Loose Powder 10 Rabbit Tail

The powder is a limited lavender pink, decorated with a white rabbit. The brand says a light dusting over base makeup leaves a natural, translucent glow.

Where to Buy

• UK: Not yet confirmed

It lists credit card, cash on delivery and deferred payment (convenience store, bank or post office) as payment options. Other retailers are not yet listed.
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed. More stockists may be added.

What Makes the Alice in DECORTÉ Wonderland Coffret Different?

• All four shades are exclusive to the set. According to DECORTÉ, they are limited shades of its bestselling items.
• One coffret covers base, eyes and lips, built around a blue-toned pink colour story.
• The set comes in a white-rabbit-shaped pouch with rabbit ears, and the palette packaging shows Alice and the Cheshire Cat.

It is one of several Japanese holiday 2026 makeup releases, alongside SHISEIDO x Tomo Koizumi Holiday 2026. More launches are on our makeup releases page.

Packaging and Formula Details

• The coffret is not eligible for gift wrapping. DECORTÉ delivers it with a dedicated handy bag.
• The outer dimensions are 165mm (H) × 267mm (W) × 85mm (D).
• The primer is rated SPF20/PA++. DECORTÉ notes it works better alongside other UV-protection products.
• Fragrance appears in the ingredient list of all four products, which DECORTÉ publishes in full on its online boutique.

How to Use

According to DECORTÉ, apply a pearl-sized amount of the Lost Petal Glowrizer after skincare. Dot it on the chin, both cheeks, nose and forehead, then blend it over the whole face. Finish the base with Rabbit Tail loose powder. Peel the inner-lid seal slowly on first use, press the puff to the inner lid, turn the jar over, check the amount on the back of the hand and apply in light spirals. The Wonder Key lipstick is very soft, so the brand advises winding it up only 1–2mm at a time.

Byredo Havana Tonka Extrait de Parfum is a new amber fragrance in the Night Veils collection, built on roasted tonka bean, rum and tobacco leaves. It launched on 1 October 2026 in a single 70 ml size at $465 (US), £310 (UK), €340 (EU) and CA$613 (Canada), through Byredo.com, Byredo stores and selected retailers. According to Byredo, it is where "roasted tonka meets the warmth of rum and the depth of tobacco leaves", and the brand's campaign for it is titled "Havana After Dark".

Release Date

Havana Tonka launched on 1 October 2026. Byredo, the Swedish house Ben Gorham founded in 2006, presents it as "a new chapter in Night Veils". It follows Byredo 00:00 Eau de Parfum, the brand's 2026 scent sold exclusively in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. It also arrives in the same season as the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026.

• Heart notes: tobacco leaves, violet, white suede, cashmere woods
• Base notes: roasted tonka bean absolute, patchouli essential oil, benzoin resinoid, skin musks

What Does Byredo Havana Tonka Smell Like?

The notes describe three stages:

• Heart: dry, smoky tobacco leaves with violet, suede and woods.
• Base: roasted tonka with earthy patchouli, balsamic benzoin and musks.

According to Byredo, "the composition opens with a luminous blend of bergamot, rum and pink peppercorn, softened by the creamy sweetness of crème brûlée". The brand describes the whole as "a warm, hazy composition that gradually reveals greater texture, depth and richness on the skin". Retailer Premiere Avenue calls it "a rich and textured extrait de parfum, where liquorous, tobacco, and gourmand accents meet".

In the brand's words, "something this precious requires special handling."

How to Use

Crown Affair says the items don't need to be used together. Its advice is to reach for each one "whenever the moment calls for it" through the season.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at Dermstore US, usually dispatched within 24 hours.

What Makes the Best of Dermstore Advent Calendar 2026 Different?

• It is a retailer-curated calendar with one item from each of 24 brands, spanning skincare, hair, makeup and body care.
• Half of the items (12 of 24) are listed as full size, including iS Clinical GeneXC Serum, Bioeffect EGF Serum and Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3.
• Dermstore puts the separate-purchase value at $1,147, against a $250 price.

Packaging and Formula Details

The calendar comes in a deep red box with 24 numbered drawers and "DERMSTORE 24 Days of Beauty" printed on the front. Several items are built around actives named in their titles:

• Retinal (Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3) and retinol with ferulic acid (Dr. Dennis Gross)
• 20% niacinamide (Paula's Choice) and an enzyme exfoliating powder (Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant)
• Two resurfacing serums (Revision Skincare and U Beauty)

According to Dermstore, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 suits all skin types. Dermstore also says the Osmosis mask "deeply hydrates, repairs, calms and soothes the skin barrier". Dermstore's other current skincare launch, the Dermstore BeautyFIX Skin Reset Season October 2026 box, also pairs retinal treatments with barrier-focused products.

How to Use

Per Dermstore's directions, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 goes on after evening cleansing, followed by a moisturizer. It is phased in: twice a week for the first two weeks, every other evening for the next two weeks, then nightly. Revision Skincare's Radiance+ Resurfacing Serum is applied as 6–8 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area and not on the same evening as a retinoid; U Beauty advises against pairing its Resurfacing Compound with other resurfacing products. Oribe Mirror Rinse is applied weekly from mid-lengths to ends after shampooing, in place of conditioner (or after conditioner for dry hair), and left on for up to one minute; the Osmosis mask is worn for 5–15 minutes on clean skin.
