New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

NABLA Holiday 2026 gift sets have surfaced ahead of an official launch: seven makeup sets with reported European prices of €29–€49. An Italian beauty creator showed them on Instagram on 8 October 2026. NABLA has not yet listed the collection on its website or announced a release date.

For other four-shade launches, see the Chanel Les 4 Ombres Spring 2027 palettes and the Urban Decay Moondust Full Shimmer Quad Palette.

Formula and Packaging

According to Thrive Causemetics, the shadows use Semi-Permanent Micropigment Technology™ for crease-resistant colour. The formula includes hyaluronic acid, aloe leaf extract, provitamin B5, rice extract and vitamin E, which the brand says hydrate and condition the eyelid skin.

The palettes are vegan, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. They are formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic fragrance. The brand says the formula is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested and "safe for contact lens wearers."

For application, the brand suggests sweeping the Crease shade across the lid and lower lash line, then placing the Lid shade on the centre of the lid. Next, blend the Define shade into the outer corner, and press the Highlight shade into the inner corner and under the brow bone. For a stronger shimmer, the brand recommends applying the shimmer shades with a fingertip or a damp brush.

When Did the Montblanc Paper Musk Launch?

Montblanc hasn't announced an official release date for Paper Musk. Now Smell This reported the launch on 6 October 2026, and the fragrance was on sale at French retailers by 7 October 2026. As of 7 October 2026, Montblanc's own sites in the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy do not list Paper Musk.

Montblanc Paper Musk Price

Prices vary by retailer:

• France: €129 at Paris Parfums, €126 at MyOrigines and €172 at Passion Beaute. Printemps lists the fragrance, but its price wasn't captured.
• Poland: 709 zł at Lyko.
• Denmark: 1,169 kr. at Matas.
• US / UK: Not yet announced.

For context only, the sibling fragrance Montblanc Collection Neroli Letters EDP 125 ml is a different perfume. It costs $160 on montblanc.com US, £135 on montblanc.com UK and €170 on montblanc.com FR. Montblanc has not published Paper Musk prices for those markets.

Montblanc Paper Musk Fragrance Notes

Montblanc highlights three key notes for Paper Musk:

• Orange blossom
• White musk
• Cashmeran

Some fragrance databases arrange these three into a top, heart and base structure, but Montblanc presents them as key notes rather than a formal pyramid.

Printemps' ingredient list also includes bergamot peel oil, and the outer box reads "Paper Musk - Orange Blossom".

What Does Montblanc Paper Musk Smell Like?

According to Montblanc, the accord pairs the "floral brightness of orange blossom" with the "enveloping trail of white musk." The brand says this combination conveys "the sensation of clarity and inspiration provided by a pristine page." It adds that Cashmeran "enriches the composition with a woody and sensual elegance." The perfume takes its inspiration from white paper, which Montblanc presents as "a symbol of freedom, expression, and creativity," as a nod to the house's writing heritage.

• The bottle cap is modelled on the Montblanc inkwell.

Bottle and Packaging

According to retailers, the bottle has a white-lacquered interior that adds visual depth and recalls paper. The cap is inspired by the Montblanc inkwell and topped with the brand's snowcap emblem.

Catrice's Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment is a new limited-edition balm-meets-gloss lip treatment with vegan PDRN and squalane, offered in two shades, C010 Nude Veil and C020 Rosy Dew. It costs €4.99 on catrice.eu Germany and €4.95 at Boozyshop Italy, where it was first seen on sale on 5 October 2026.

Availability update (7 October 2026): both shades are in stock at catrice.eu Germany and Boozyshop Italy. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The brand's other launches this season include the Catrice Fall 2026 Collection and the Catrice House of Gold Advent Calendar 2026.

When Did the Catrice Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment Launch?

Catrice hasn't announced an official release date. Both shades first appeared on sale at Boozyshop Italy on 5 October 2026 and were listed as in stock on catrice.eu Germany when checked on 7 October 2026. Catrice showed the product on Instagram on 6 October 2026.

Price

On catrice.eu Germany, each shade is €4.99. Boozyshop Italy lists both shades at €4.95. No US or UK price has been announced.

Shades

The Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment comes in two shades, each with a dual-tone swirl in the tube:

• C010 Nude Veil: described by Catrice as a light nude shade; its swatch on glass shows a warm nude-brown.
• C020 Rosy Dew: described by Catrice as "a soft rosy shade"; its swatch on glass shows a rosy pink.

• PDRN in a lip product: the formula lists sodium DNA, which Catrice calls vegan PDRN. On Instagram, Catrice describes it as "rose-derived."
• Donut applicator: the product twists up from the pack and is applied with a soft donut-shaped silicone tip, which Catrice's Instagram calls a "slanted donut applicator."

Formula and Packaging

According to Catrice, the Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment is enriched with vegan PDRN and squalane. The brand says it leaves a sheer, glossy, non-sticky finish and helps visually even out fine lip lines. Key listed ingredients include:

• Squalane
• Macadamia seed oil
• Ceramide NP
• Panthenol
• Tocopheryl acetate
• Sodium DNA (the PDRN ingredient)
• Palmitoyl tripeptide-1

The formula also contains parfum (fragrance).

Catrice's directions are to twist the texture up and glide it evenly over the lips with the silicone applicator, then reapply as desired during the day. The brand says it can be worn alone or over a lip liner or lipstick.

The lip treatment belongs to THE FORMULA (+) EDIT, a limited-edition "Trend Drop" listed under Catrice's New and Limited Editions. The edit also includes the PDRN Moisture Lip Butter (€3.99) and the PDRN Glow Multi Stick (€6.99), along with primers, a serum blush, a highlighter, a skin beautifier and a brush. For another recent lip launch with a donut theme, see the Marin Skincare Cider Donut Lip Treatment.

The e.l.f. Power Grip Gold Drip Duo is two new limited-edition products sold separately, not a boxed set: the Power Grip Gold Drip Primer and the Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray. Both are Power Grip formulas infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks, and each costs $11 in the US and £11 in the UK. e.l.f. Cosmetics officially announced the duo on 7 October 2026, saying it is available now on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop, with retailer rollouts starting 9 October.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at elfcosmetics.com and elfcosmetics.co.uk; not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target, Superdrug or Amazon UK. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The duo arrives alongside the brand's other fall and holiday launch, the e.l.f. POP Spicy Bundt Nice Tromsø Collection.

Release Date

e.l.f. officially launched the Gold Drip duo in the US on 7 October 2026 on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. The products had already appeared on the e.l.f. UK website in September 2026, ahead of the official announcement. Retailer dates for each market are listed under Where to Buy below.

Price

• US: $11 each
• UK: £11 each
• Canada, Mexico, Europe: price not yet listed

In the UK, both match the £11 price of the regular-size Power Grip Primer and Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray.

Products

• Power Grip Gold Drip Primer ($11 / £11, 30 ml): According to e.l.f., it is the same sticky gel Power Grip Primer formula, now infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks. The brand says it grips makeup for long-lasting wear and illuminates all skin tones with a radiant glow.
• Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray ($11 / £11, 80 ml): A bi-phase spray that e.l.f. says combines a moisturising oil phase with a makeup-gripping water phase. According to the brand, it sets makeup in a fine, non-sticky, non-greasy mist and leaves a gilded finish.

Where to Buy

• US: e.l.f. Cosmetics US (primer, $11) and e.l.f. Cosmetics US (spray, $11), plus the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. e.l.f. says the duo comes online to Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Walgreens and Amazon from 9 October.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at elfcosmetics.com and elfcosmetics.co.uk; not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target, Superdrug or Amazon UK.

What Makes the Power Grip Gold Drip Duo Different?

• Both formulas add gold micro-shimmer flecks to the existing Power Grip formats.
• The primer keeps the original sticky gel texture, and the spray uses a shake-to-activate bi-phase formula.
• e.l.f. sells the duo as a limited edition, and the Gold Drip Primer comes in a 30 ml tube versus the original's 24 ml regular size, at the same £11 UK price.

The Gold Drip Setting Spray (80 ml / 2.7 fl oz, £11) sits alongside the core e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray, which e.l.f. UK also sells at £11. The main change across both Gold Drip products is the added gold micro-shimmer.

Formula and Packaging

e.l.f. says both products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and the primer page cites Leaping Bunny and PETA certification. The brand's swatch images show the primer as a gold gel and the spray as a white bi-phase swatch. e.l.f. also shares before/after images and campaign shots of both products on a gold background.

If you want a primer in a different format, the brand also makes the e.l.f. Stay Cool Gel Primer Stick, and you can browse all new makeup releases for the season's other launches.

How to use, per e.l.f.: Start with clean, moisturised skin, let the moisturiser absorb for 1–2 minutes, then apply a pea-sized amount of primer. Shake the setting spray to activate both phases, then mist from about 6 inches away with eyes and lips closed.

Sephora's page for the single Lip Toy cites a consumer study of 118 women aged 18–29 after one week of use. In that study, 93% agreed bare lips looked healthier, 91.5% said lips felt softer and moisturised, and 94.5% described them as juicy.

The set comes in a purple box with silver star sparkles and "When Sip Happens" lettering. The tubes are pink (Fresita) and berry-mauve (Drizzled), with stripe graphics.

Lip Toy is one of several pH-reactive lip oils launched this autumn, alongside the jane iredale Just Kissed pH Lip Oil. For another $35 holiday lip duo, see the BUXOM Dancing Duo Lip Kit.

How It Works

Sephora's directions are to apply the oil to clean, dry lips. Then wait two minutes for the pH reaction to develop the stain.

Fara Homidi has released the Essential Lip Contour Trio, a limited-edition holiday 2026 set of three mini Smudge & Contour Lip Pencils, priced at $64 in the US. The set pairs the brand's signature shade Faun with two new shades made only for this set, Grie and Noisette.

It's one of two Fara Homidi holiday 2026 sets. The other, the Fara Homidi Essential Cruise Box, pairs an Essential Blonzer Compact with the brand's debut Shine Baume Stick.

Availability update (7 October 2026): on sale at farahomidi.com for $64, with the shades Faun, Grie and Noisette. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The Essential Lip Contour Trio went on sale at farahomidi.com on 7 October 2026, after it was listed overnight on 6–7 October (ET). Fara Homidi previously announced that it would reach Sephora US on 12 October 2026. We haven't been able to confirm that listing yet.

Price

The set costs $64 in the US. At checkout on farahomidi.com it costs £60 in the UK and CA$89 in Canada. For comparison, a full-size Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil costs $36 on farahomidi.com.

• Noisette: deep-dark brown with neutral undertones. It is new and exclusive to the set.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at farahomidi.com (US). Sephora US is expected 12 October 2026 per Fara Homidi but can't yet be verified. No listing was found at Violet Grey or Niche Beauty. farahomidi.com ships to the US, UK and Canada only.

What Makes the Essential Lip Contour Trio Different?

• Two of the three shades, Grie and Noisette, are exclusive to this holiday set. The third, Faun, is the brand's signature shade.
• All three shades are cool or neutral in tone, running from a soft beige through taupe to a deep brown.
• The pencils come in a mini format, with three of them totalling 2.43 g / .08 oz.

Formula and Packaging

The minis use the same formula as the full-size Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil. According to Fara Homidi, a vegan wax blend lets the pencil glide on easily and gives long-lasting hydrated wear. The brand says sunflower seed oil rehydrates and soothes dry lips, and squalane helps prevent loss of hydration. The brand also says the pencils can be worn alone for a full-bodied lip or layered together for an ombré, nude lip look.

How to Use

Fara Homidi's directions start with slightly over-lining the whole lip in Faun as a base shadow. Next, trace Grie over the cupid's bow and under the centre of the bottom lip for depth. Finish with Noisette to define the corners and the cupid's bow, leaving the centre of the lip bare, then buff with the Lip Brush or your fingertips for a blurred finish.
