New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

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.

Summer Fridays has launched a limited-edition Body Layering Set priced at $46. It pairs a full-size Body Butter Balm with a travel-size Body Fragrance Mist in one of three scents. The set appeared on SummerFridays.com late on 5 October 2026, the brand announced it on Instagram on 6 October 2026, and it is sold only through the brand's own US website.

What's New

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.

Key Details

• The set is a limited edition. The brand has not said how long it will be available.
• It is excluded from promotions and discounts on SummerFridays.com.
• Because of shipping regulations, the set and the rest of any order containing it must ship ground.
• Summer Fridays offers free US shipping on orders of $35 or more, which the $46 set meets.

Where to Buy

• US: Summer Fridays ($46)
• UK: Not yet confirmed

Epicutis announced on Instagram on 6 October 2026 that The Lymphatic Brush by massage and lymphatic educator Cecily Braden will come in its limited-edition Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set. Price and release date have not been announced.

Status: Partially confirmed. Epicutis has teased the set on Instagram, but it is not yet listed on epicutis.com. Its contents beyond the brush, its price and its release date may change.

What's New

The brush itself is not new. Cecily Braden already sells The Lymphatic Brush under the Cecily Braden name in two sizes. The new part is an Epicutis-branded version, which Epicutis says is "exclusively available with" the Bodycare Simplified Set.

Epicutis's image shows the brush in a half-moon shape. It has a dark wood-grain top with the Epicutis logo, amber flexible fibres and rows of rounded brown nubs. The design matches Cecily Braden's Large brush.

Epicutis has not said whether its Lipid Body Treatment ($225 on epicutis.com) will be in the set.

What the Brand Says

Epicutis describes the tool as "the original, patented, and award-winning brush." According to Epicutis, it is designed to bring lymphatic drainage into an at-home body care routine. The brand says its textured bristles gently engage the skin to encourage tissue-fluid movement. It also says the brush supports the body's natural drainage and metabolic processes for "healthy, vibrant-looking skin."

Cecily Braden says the brush is "not a dry brush, a make-up, or a cleansing brush." Cecily Braden calls it a draining device, and says its bristle pattern and density grip the skin to target the superficial lymph vessels just under the surface. According to Cecily Braden, used with Braden's own techniques, it mimics the passive contractions of those vessels to stimulate lymph flow. The design is patent-protected in the US, EU, Australia, Canada and the UK.

Key Details: Sizes and Use

• Large: for the face, neck, crown and full body, with shorter, firmer bristles. This is the size the Epicutis edition matches.
• Small: for the face, with longer, softer bristles.
• Cecily Braden publishes face and body tutorials with step-by-step routines.

Cecily Braden advises caution, or a changed routine, in these cases:

• Bronchitis: don't use the brush directly over the sternum.
• Menstruation: it may make periods heavier.
• Raised moles: work around them.
• Low blood pressure: keep sessions shorter.
• Hyperactive thyroid: avoid working directly on the thyroid.
• Other conditions: the same list also includes deep vein thrombosis, congestive heart failure and acute infection or inflammation.

Where to Buy

• US: Epicutis (set not yet listed). The standalone brush, The Lymphatic Brush Large, is available from Cecily Braden ($78).
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Laura Geller has launched Tuscan Sun Eau de Toilette, its new fragrance, priced at $59 for 1.7 oz and $28 for a 0.27 oz travel size, at Ulta Beauty and laurageller.com in October 2026. The products appeared on the brand's US site on 2 October 2026, and Ulta Beauty lists the scent as "New." The brand calls it "the fragrance we spent years crafting" and says it was "perfected by Laura herself."

What's New

Tuscan Sun is Laura Geller's new fragrance launch. According to the brand, it "captures the warmth of Italian living" through bright citrus, soft florals and a comforting base of woods, amber and vanilla. Laura Geller describes it as light and uplifting and says it lingers through the day.

Founder Laura Geller says: "Tuscan Sun was inspired by the unforgettable scent of summers in Italy. It's warm, bright, and designed to bring that feeling with you wherever you go." The brand's campaign imagery uses the taglines "Smells like an Italian getaway" and "Feels like golden hour."

The Scent Notes

According to Laura Geller, the fragrance unfolds in three stages:

• Opening: bright citrus, which the brand describes as Italian lemon
• Heart: soft, creamy florals
• Base: warm woods, amber and vanilla

The brand describes the overall effect as fresh, warm and easy to wear. It says the scent leaves a soft, lasting impression and suits everyday fragrance layering.

Key Details: Bottle and Formula

The brand says the bottle was inspired by intricate Italian architecture. It has a column-inspired gold cap and a round medallion with the LG monogram on the front.

The Ulta Beauty ingredient list starts with alcohol denat., parfum and water. It also includes citrus peel oils (orange and lemon), vanillin, coumarin, linalool and limonene, plus the colourants Red 4 and Yellow 5. The formula is flammable, and Ulta Beauty notes that the item cannot be shipped by air.

How to Wear It

Laura Geller recommends spritzing Tuscan Sun onto pulse points such as the wrists and neck. Because the brand positions it as a layering scent, it can be worn on its own or alongside other fragrances. The 0.27 oz travel size is the smaller format for carrying in a bag.

Products and Prices

Three Tuscan Sun products are listed on laurageller.com:

• Tuscan Sun Eau de Toilette (full size): $59
• Tuscan Sun Eau de Toilette Travel Size: $28
• Tuscan Sun Full Size + Travel Size Fragrance Duo: $69

PHLUR has added a Heavy Cream Body Butter to Sephora US, priced at $38.00 for 6 oz / 170 g, with a wider online and in-store release reported for October 2026.

The product is live on Sephora's US site but is not yet on phlur.com, and PHLUR has not announced a launch date.

A Sephora-launch tracking account on Instagram reports that the body butter will be available online and in stores on 20 October 2026. Neither PHLUR nor Sephora has confirmed that date. The Sephora listing is marked "New" and currently shows as out of stock.

What's New

The body butter extends PHLUR's Heavy Cream scent, which launched in 2024 as a hair and body mist. The Heavy Cream Hair & Body Mist sells on phlur.com for $39 (8 oz) and $26 (travel size). PHLUR is also preparing a Heavy Cream Eau de Parfum, which we covered earlier. Its price has not been confirmed.

Sephora describes the new format as "a decadent, deeply nourishing body butter with a gourmand scent." The listing places it in the Warm & Spicy fragrance family.

Scent Notes

The listed key notes are:

• Whipped Cream
• Coconut Cream
• Jasmine Blossom
• Vanilla Mousse

The scent's perfumer, Gil Clavien, describes it this way: "Heavy Cream is decadent sweetness—transparent, intimate, and undeniably addictive."

What the Brand Says

The ingredient list includes:

• shea butter
• coconut oil
• squalane
• cocoa seed butter
• safflower seed oil
• niacinamide
• prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) fruit extract
• green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf extract

PHLUR's product slides make these benefit claims:

• Shea and cocoa butters moisturise.
• Glycerin supports the skin barrier.
• Squalane softens skin.
• Prickly pear and green tea are antioxidant-rich.

These are the brand's claims. The body butter also carries Sephora's Clean at Sephora designation.

How to Use It

Sephora suggests this routine:

1. Apply the body butter to damp skin and massage until absorbed.
2. Layer it with the Heavy Cream Hair & Body Mist and, once released, the Heavy Cream Eau de Parfum. Both are sold separately.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($38.00). Not yet on phlur.com.
