New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

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.

Release Date

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.

What's Inside

• 3 mini lip pencils (Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil formula)
• Total: 2.43 g / .08 oz
• Packaging: a box in the brand's signature shade, embossed with the FH monogram, which opens to a white insert holding three slim, light-blue mini pencils

Shades

• Faun: very soft beige with cool undertones. This is the brand's signature shade and is also sold in the full-size line.
• Grie: taupe with cool-pink undertones. It is new and exclusive to the set.
• Noisette: deep-dark brown with neutral undertones. It is new and exclusive to the set.

The brand describes the set as "a trio of cool-toned, lip-defining mini pencils curated to shape, contour and softly enhance the natural lip," designed "to layer for shadow, depth and soft definition to create the illusion of a fuller, poutier lip."

Where to Buy

• US: Fara Homidi ($64, in stock). Sephora is expected from 12 October 2026, per Fara Homidi.
• UK: farahomidi.com ships to the UK (£60)
• Canada: farahomidi.com ships to Canada (CA$89)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed

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.

Fara Homidi's Essential Cruise Box is a limited-edition holiday 2026 set pairing the new Shine Baume Stick with a full Essential Blonzer Compact. The set, also called the Boîte Croisière Essentielle, went on sale at farahomidi.com on 7 October 2026 for $110 (US). It comes in two options, Universelle + Nue and Universelle + Velle. According to Fara Homidi, Sephora US will follow on 12 October 2026.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at farahomidi.com (US) in both options. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Fara Homidi's holiday 2026 releases also include the Fara Homidi Essential Lip Contour Trio, a set of three mini Smudge & Contour Lip Pencils in Faun, Grie and Noisette.

Release Date

The Essential Cruise Box went on sale at farahomidi.com on 7 October 2026, after being listed overnight on 6–7 October ET. Fara Homidi previously announced Sephora US availability from 12 October 2026. That listing could not yet be verified.

Price

• US: $110 for either option
• UK: £103 at farahomidi.com checkout
• Canada: CA$154 at farahomidi.com checkout

For comparison, the standalone Essential Blonzer Compact is $78 on farahomidi.com. The Shine Baume Stick is not sold separately.

What's Inside

The set contains 2 products, one powder and one balm, for a total net weight of 0.44 oz (.12 oz + .32 oz):

• 1 x Essential Blonzer Compact, a powder blush-bronzer (Net Wt .12 oz)
• 1 x Shine Baume Stick, a balm illuminator (Net Wt .32 oz)

Products and Shades

Fara Homidi describes the set as "a radiant complexion pairing to evoke a sunny escape", designed "for sheer luminosity and a softly flushed finish". Both options use the same Shine Baume shade:

• Universelle + Nue: Shine Baume Stick in Universelle (a champagne sheen) with Essential Blonzer in Nue (beige with cool-pink undertones)
• Universelle + Velle: Shine Baume Stick in Universelle with Essential Blonzer in Velle (burnished-berry with deep-cool undertones)

The standalone Blonzer also comes in Baie (berry with cool undertones), but that shade is not offered in the Cruise Box. Another limited-edition bronzer-and-blush pairing this season is the LYS Beauty Mini Elite Standard Bronze + Blush Collection, a $20 set of two cream sticks.

What Makes the Essential Cruise Box Different?

• New format: the Shine Baume was previously sold only inside a compact, beside the brand's Smooth Veil Soft Matte formula. This set is its first release as a stick, and the brand says the stick is only available in this set.
• Two shade options: buyers choose the Blonzer in Nue or Velle, while the Shine Baume shade, Universelle, stays the same.
• Finish pairing: the set combines a luminous-matte powder with a gel-to-cream balm.

Formula and Packaging

According to Fara Homidi, the Essential Blonzer is a powder-to-cream formula made with Lumi-Matte Technology. The brand says this technology combines one rich and one light oil with talc-free powders for a "high-creaminess texture", plus a fine silicone. The brand also highlights these ingredients:

• snow mushroom and hyaluronic acid, for hydration and antioxidant protection
• passionfruit seed oil, for softness and suppleness
• squalane, to help prevent moisture loss

The ingredient list for the Nue set includes fragrance (Parfum) and vanillin.

The brand describes Shine Baume as "a universal translucent illuminator with a glass-like warm champagne sheen". It says the gel-to-cream formula offers "a dewy radiance and a subtle candlelit glow". Its key ingredients, according to Fara Homidi, are:

• Phylcare Hyacolor, a hyaluronic acid microsphere technology the brand says has a plumping effect
• sunflower seed oil, which the brand says supports the skin's moisture barrier
• hyper-reflective mica

Fara Homidi says both the set and the compact are made of hand-polished lacquered metal, with the stick in a red lacquered case. According to the brand, the compact's inner base and refill pan use 42% cellulose-based plastic sourced from sustainably managed forests.

How to Use

Fara Homidi recommends using the Shader Brush to sweep the Blonzer over the cheeks, nose and forehead, either as an all-over soft dusting or for precise blonzing. The brand describes the result as a feather-light luminous matte flush. It then suggests gliding the Shine Baume Stick across the cheekbones, eyelids, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow.

The Essential Cruise Box sits alongside this season's other holiday sets in our makeup releases section.

Paris Hilton's ICONIC Queen Eau de Parfum went on sale on 7 October 2026 at ParisHiltonFragrances.com for $80 (3.4 oz). It is a new flanker of the 2025 ICONIC Eau de Parfum, with a fruity floral note list of bergamot, cassis, jasmine, amber and vanilla.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at ParisHiltonFragrances.com in the US ($80) and Canada (CA$116). No other retailers have been announced yet.

Release Date

Paris Hilton Fragrances announced ICONIC Queen on Instagram on 6 October 2026, saying it "arrives tomorrow." It went on sale on 7 October 2026 at 12PM ET / 9AM PT, on ParisHiltonFragrances.com only.

Price

• US: $80 for 3.4 oz / 100 ml
• Canada: CA$116 for 3.4 oz / 100 ml

ICONIC Queen comes in one size so far. The original ICONIC is also sold in 1 oz ($48) and 0.34 oz ($27) sizes.

Paris Hilton ICONIC Queen Fragrance Notes

The official note pyramid:

• Top notes: bergamot, mandarin, cassis
• Heart notes: orange flower, jasmine, muguet (lily of the valley)
• Base notes: amber, musk, vanilla

What Does Paris Hilton ICONIC Queen Smell Like?

Going by the official notes, ICONIC Queen opens with bergamot and mandarin alongside fruity cassis. The heart combines orange flower, jasmine and muguet, and amber, musk and vanilla form a warmer base.

The brand describes it as a scent that "reigns with a bubbly splash of kir royale, a flirty touch of queen jasmine, and the glow of hypnotic amber," and calls it "a majestic bouquet of luscious fruits and velvety florals." Cassis is the blackcurrant in a kir royale.

The two share amber, musk and lily of the valley. ICONIC Queen swaps the original's pear, raspberry and peach top for citrus and cassis, and adds vanilla to the base in place of sandalwood.

FRUDIA's Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster, a 140 ml dual-layer "bubble toner" from the Korean brand's F-LAB line, is on sale at YesStyle for a list price of 133.04 zł on the retailer's Poland storefront. YesStyle tags it "Trending New", and a customer review dated 15 September 2026 shows it has been on sale there since at least mid-September 2026. The exact launch date has not been confirmed. FRUDIA is also promoting the booster through a FRUDIA × YesStyle creator collaboration announced on Instagram on 6 October 2026.

What's New

The booster's main difference from a standard toner is its dual-layer formula. It combines a creamy layer and a water layer in a 1:9 ratio, which the brand's graphic describes as "10% cream, 90% water". You shake it before use to mix the two layers. The packaging line reads "For Plumping & Glow With NAD+, Peptide."

The "EXO" in the name refers to punica granatum (pomegranate) callus extracellular vesicles.

Key Ingredients

YesStyle's listing includes these notable ingredients:

• Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
• Volufiline, at 5%
• Retinal, which appears well down the ingredient list. No percentage is given.
• NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
• sh-Oligopeptide-1, ceramide NP and sodium hyaluronate
• Sodium DNA, collagen amino acids, adenosine and bromelain

What the Brand Says

According to FRUDIA and YesStyle's product listing, the booster:

• helps improve skin texture and volume
• gives instant radiance
• hydrates and smooths the skin, which the brand says helps stop makeup from caking or flaking

The brand says the combination of 5% Volufiline and niacinamide helps improve the look of uneven skin tone and enlarged pores and helps restore skin volume. The listing states that a skin irritation test has been completed.

FRUDIA's Instagram graphics make similar claims: dewy hydration, instant radiance, smoother texture, plumper-looking skin and better makeup prep.

How to Use

The brand's directions are:

1. Shake the bottle well to combine the cream and water layers.
2. After cleansing, dispense 2–3 pumps.
3. Apply to the skin.

Because the formula contains retinal, follow the brand's directions and on-pack guidance.

Price

YesStyle shows prices in each shopper's local currency. The only verified price comes from the Poland storefront: a list price of 133.04 zł, reduced to 119.74 zł with a 10% discount at the time of writing. A twin pack is also available. Prices in other regions appear at checkout in local currency.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. YesStyle ships to the US, with the price shown at checkout in local currency.

The teaser image shows two pale-pink glass perfume bottles, one larger and one smaller, set in snow. Each has an ornate gold-and-cream cap shaped like a carousel (merry-go-round) canopy.

Mary Kay launched the K-Beauty Texture Edit on 5 October 2026, a special-edition collection of three Korea-made skin care products priced from $26 to $32 each in the US. The brand says it will be available in 40 markets while supplies last. Mary Kay describes the collection as inspired by Korean skin care and self-care, and it follows the brand's global platform, Beauty Is More Beautiful Shared, which launched in September 2026.

What's New

The K-Beauty Texture Edit covers three familiar steps: cleansing, patches and moisturizing. Mary Kay says each product is designed to fit into an existing routine, so customers can try new textures without replacing their current regimen. There is no bundled set. The products are sold individually.

The Products and Prices

Melt-In Cleansing Balm, $26 (1.6 fl. oz.)

This is a twist-to-dispense balm that, according to Mary Kay, melts on contact into a velvety oil and turns milky when water is added. The brand lists a PDRN (salmon DNA) infusion, rice bran oil, vitamin E and an emollient blend that it says helps dissolve impurities, face makeup and excess oil. Mary Kay says the balm leaves skin feeling soft and clean.

Snail Gel Face Patches, $32 (60 patches, 3.1 oz.)

These are flexible, embossed hydrogel patches shaped for areas such as the forehead and cheeks. They are separate from Mary Kay's existing Hydrogel Eye Patches. The brand says the formula combines snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate), niacinamide, licorice extract and triple hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and brighten the appearance of skin, with a cooling hydrogel base.

Collagen Moisturizing Gel, $28 (1.6 fl. oz.)

This is a pale pink jelly moisturizer. Mary Kay says it delivers hydration, plumpness and a "glass skin" glow. Listed ingredients include low-molecular-weight collagen peptides, niacinamide, squalane, and a superfood blend of oat kernel, tomato, spinach and blueberry extracts.

How to Use

Mary Kay gives these directions for each product:

• Cleansing Balm: Give it a half turn for bare skin or a full turn on sunscreen or makeup days. Melt the balm, massage it in, add water and rinse. Use it alone or as the first step of a double cleanse, up to twice daily.
• Face Patches: Use 2–3 times a week. Apply to clean skin with the included spatula and leave on for 20 minutes. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Pat in any remaining essence and reseal the jar.
• Moisturizing Gel: Dip the spatula in, dab the gel onto skin and press to absorb. Use morning and evening on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. The brand says it can be used as a seasonal swap for another Mary Kay moisturizer or layered with one.

Where to Buy

• US: Mary Kay Melt-In Cleansing Balm ($26), Mary Kay Collagen Moisturizing Gel ($28), Mary Kay Snail Gel Face Patches ($32). The products are also available through Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Available through Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants in participating markets (40 markets, according to Mary Kay). Local prices are not yet confirmed.

KISS NEW YORK has launched the Line & Fill Lip Stain, a dual-ended lip stain marker in 10 shades priced at $5.99 each, listed on ivyusa.com on 30 September 2026. The brand announced the range on Instagram on 6 October 2026, introducing it as a new "lip lineup" spanning nudes, pinks, berries and browns.

What's New

The Line & Fill Lip Stain combines a lip liner and a lip stain in one marker. Its dual-sided plush tip has a slim precision edge for outlining and a flat surface for filling in color. According to KISS NEW YORK, the formula is highly pigmented and buildable, and gives long-lasting, feather-free color with minimal bleeding. The brand also describes it as non-sticky and non-drying.

The formula includes three conditioning ingredients. KISS NEW YORK makes the following claims for them:

• Peptides help reduce the look of fine lines.
• Biotin helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Panthenol provides deep hydration.

The listed formula is water-based and also contains hydroxyethyl urea, glycerin and tripeptide-1. Depending on the shade, it may contain colorants including Red 33, Red 28, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and Blue 1.

Shades

The 10 shades and the brand's descriptions from its swatch chart:

• Cashmere: warm nude
• Pretty Please: soft pink (labeled "Pretty Pink" on the Instagram chart)
• Doll: cool nude
• PB&J: warm brown
• Stilettos: berry red
• Cherry Cola: dark rose
• Teddy: taupe brown
• Bittersweet: burgundy brown
• Espresso: rich brown
• After Hours: black

Every shade costs the same price.

How to Apply

KISS NEW YORK recommends these steps:

1. Start with clean, dry lips. Remove any oils, balm or other lip products first.
2. Use the slim edge of the tip to outline and define the lip shape.
3. Turn to the flat side and glide it across the lips to fill in color evenly.
4. Add more layers for richer, more vibrant color.
5. Let the stain dry completely before applying other lip products. The brand says this gives long-lasting, transfer-resistant wear.

After use, the brand advises storing the marker upside down (tip down) so the tip stays saturated with color.

Key Details

• Price: $5.99 for every shade on ivyusa.com, the online store of KISS's parent company, Ivy Enterprises.
• Release date: 30 September 2026 on ivyusa.com, followed by the Instagram announcement on 6 October 2026.
• Shipping: ivyusa.com offers free standard shipping on member orders of $19.99+ and guest orders of $29.99+.

The set brings two existing Summer Fridays body care products together in one matched-scent bundle. You pick a scent, and both products come in that fragrance. All three versions cost the same.

The set costs $46. Buying the same two items separately would cost $56, made up of the $32 full-size Body Butter Balm and the $24 travel-size mist, so the bundle saves $10.

The set does not include the full-size Body Fragrance Mist (240 ml / 8.1 fl oz, $38) or the travel-size Body Butter Balm (60 ml / 2 fl oz, $18). Both are still sold separately.

Scent Options

The brand lists these notes for each version:

• Vanilla: Vanilla Cake, Tonka Bean and Fluffy Musk
• Pink Guava: Guava Nectar, Pink Strawberry and Pear Blossom
• Pistachio Milk: Pistachio Milk, Creamy Woods and Raspberry Sugar

What the Brand Says

According to Summer Fridays, the Body Butter Balm has a buttery texture that gives rich, nourishing hydration and a radiant finish. The brand says it "absorbs immediately, leaving the skin visibly hydrated, radiant and soft."

Summer Fridays cites two studies for the balm, each with 35 participants aged 18–65:

• An independent clinical study: the brand reports an immediate improvement in skin hydration and better skin texture after seven days.
• A consumer perception study measured after 24 hours: participants said their skin felt hydrated, nourished, soft and smooth.

The brand describes the Body Fragrance Mist as its "effortlessly indulgent, long-lasting body fragrance mist."

How to Use the Products

Summer Fridays suggests layering the two products for a longer-lasting scent:

1. Apply the Body Butter Balm first. Massage it all over the body.
2. Follow with the Body Fragrance Mist. Spray it over the moisturised skin.
3. Reapply the mist as needed throughout the day.

The travel-size mist is small enough to carry for top-ups away from home.
