The Fenty Beauty Stunna Stix Soft-Glide Matte Lipstick is a new $24 slim matte lipstick, sold at Fenty's TikTok Shop US store in the true red Uncensored. Fenty Beauty announced it on 7 October 2026 and currently sells it only through its TikTok Shop store; four more shades appear in the product gallery without a price or date.

Updated 10 October 2026: listed and selling at Fenty Beauty's TikTok Shop US store ($24.00); not on fentybeauty.com, fentybeauty.co.uk, Sephora US or Ulta.

It arrives in the same season as the Fenty Beauty Holiday Windows Collection, the brand's holiday lip and gift launch.

Release Date

Fenty Beauty announced the Stunna Stix on TikTok on 7 October 2026 ("Introducing our NEW Stunna Stix… Cop now ONLY on TikTok Shop"), and it was available at Fenty Beauty's TikTok Shop US store by 7 October. Creator videos featuring the lipstick appeared from 6 October 2026, and Fenty Beauty followed with an Instagram post on 10 October 2026. That day, the TikTok Shop listing showed 98 units sold.

Price

• US: $24.00 at Fenty Beauty's TikTok Shop store. Shipping on that order was shown as $5.00.
• UK: Not yet announced.
• Other markets: Not yet announced.

Stunna Stix Shades

Uncensored is the only shade on sale as of 10 October 2026. Fenty Beauty calls it its "signature true red," and the campaign calls it "Rihanna's signature red." Campaign images show Rihanna wearing Uncensored with Trace'd Out in The MVP.

The TikTok Shop gallery shows five shades, with lip swatches on several skin tones and arm swatches. A "Choose your combo" graphic pairs each shade with a Fenty Beauty Trace'd Out Pencil Lip Liner:

Where to Buy

• US: TikTok Shop – Fenty Beauty store ($24.00, listed and selling)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 10 October 2026: listed at TikTok Shop US; not on fentybeauty.com, fentybeauty.co.uk, Sephora US or Ulta.

What Makes the Stunna Stix Soft-Glide Matte Lipstick Different?

• Format: it is a solid matte lipstick in a slim stick. It is not the Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color, the liquid formula that also comes in Uncensored ($29 at fentybeauty.com, £25 at fentybeauty.co.uk).
• Sales channel: Fenty Beauty currently sells it only through its TikTok Shop store, not its own sites or US beauty retailers.
• Liner pairing: each of the five shown shades has a named Trace'd Out liner match.

It joins Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix, the brand's high-shine gloss in stick form, as another stick-format lip product.

Formula and Packaging

According to Fenty Beauty, the lipstick has these features:

• Color: rich, one-swipe color, with bold, full-coverage color that lasts all day.
• Feel: a silky-smooth glide that won't drag, and a longwear, lightweight, "cloud-like" barely-there feel.
• Wear: it resists transfer, fading and feathering.
• Tip and case: a precision angled tip that "hugs lips for a crisp application every time," in a slim, sleek, polished pocket-sized case.
• Cap: a snap-to-extend cap that lets you "snap your stick onto the cap for more length + an easier grip."

How to Wear It

Fenty Beauty's "For an extra plush look" graphic gives two steps. First, reset and prep lips with the Fenty Skin Plush Puddin' lip mask. Then blot the excess and swipe on Stunna Stix.

For "the most iconic red lip," the brand pairs Uncensored with Trace'd Out in The MVP. Its TikTok launch post offers a free Fenty Beauty sharpener with that pairing.

KAYALI's Yummy Marshmallow Kiss Set and Yummy Pistachio Gelato Kiss Set each pair a 10ml Eau de Parfum with a matching Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm. The two gift sets from KAYALI cost $42 in the US, £42 in the UK and €50 on KAYALI's international store. They appeared on kayali.com on 1 October 2026 and on the US and UK stores on 4 October 2026.

KAYALI's other new gift set this season is the Kayali Vanilla Charm Set, with Vanilla | 28 in 50ml and 10ml plus a perfume holder charm.

The newest Yum Collection fragrance is KAYALI Yum Vanilla Cupcake | 108 Eau de Parfum, which opened for pre-order on 21 October 2026.

Updated 10 October 2026: Both sets are in stock at us.kayali.com, uk.kayali.com and Space NK UK. The Marshmallow set is out of stock at Cult Beauty, and both sets are out of stock on kayali.com for EU delivery.

When Did the KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets Launch?

KAYALI hasn't announced an official release date. Both sets first appeared on KAYALI's international store and reached the US and UK stores three days later. Space NK UK lists both sets as "New".

Release Date

• 1 October 2026: listed on kayali.com (international store)
• 4 October 2026: listed on us.kayali.com and uk.kayali.com

KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets Price

Both sets cost the same in each market:

• US: $42. Buying the two items separately would cost $56 ($32 for the 10ml Miniature plus $24 for the Cashmere Kiss).
• UK: £42. Bought separately, the items cost £51 (£28 + £23), which matches Cult Beauty's "Worth £51" label.
• International: €50. Bought separately, the items cost €58 (€32 + €26).

Don't confuse these sets with two other Yum sets on KAYALI's site:

• The Yum Mini Duo costs $28 (US) and holds two 5ml Eau de Parfum Intense minis, Pistachio Gelato and Boujee Marshmallow, with no lip balm.
• The Yum Duo Set (Yum Pistachio Gelato) costs $105 (US) for a 50ml and a 10ml.

For another gourmand pairing, see our post on the Le Monde Gourmand Le Petit Duo Set.

What's Inside the KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets?

Each set holds two items. KAYALI lists the contents as follows:

Yummy Marshmallow Kiss Set (pink box)

• Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 Eau de Parfum, 0.34 oz / 10 ml
• Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm, 0.53 oz / 15 g

• Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm, 0.53 oz / 15 g

KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets Fragrance Notes

KAYALI hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for either perfume. It lists these notes:

• Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81: fluffy pink marshmallow, succulent strawberry, flaky coconut, delicate freesia, whipped vanilla, pink musk. KAYALI calls the set "flirty and sweet."
• Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33: pistachio, whipped cream, roasted hazelnut, sweet rum, fluffy marshmallow, fizzy cotton candy. KAYALI describes the set as "a delicious blend of creamy pistachio, fluffy marshmallow, and whipped cream."

Where to Buy the KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets

• US: KAYALI US, Marshmallow and Pistachio Gelato ($42 each). The sets were not found at Sephora US, and other US retailers are not yet confirmed.
• UK: KAYALI UK, Marshmallow and Pistachio Gelato (£42 each).

- Space NK, Marshmallow and Pistachio Gelato (£42 each).

- Cult Beauty (Marshmallow only, £42).

• International / Europe: kayali.com, Marshmallow and Pistachio Gelato (€50 each), currently out of stock for EU delivery.

Checked 10 October 2026: both sets were in stock at us.kayali.com, uk.kayali.com and Space NK UK. They were out of stock at Cult Beauty UK (Marshmallow, the only set listed there) and on kayali.com for EU delivery.

Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the KAYALI Yummy Kiss Sets Different?

• Each set matches a perfume with a lip balm in the same scent, while KAYALI's Yum Mini Duo contains perfume only.
• Both sets cost the same in each market ($42 / £42 / €50). In the UK and US, that is less than buying the two items separately.
• The boxes are colour-coded: pink for Marshmallow and mint green for Pistachio Gelato. They join KAYALI's wider range of fragrance gift sets this season.

Formula and Packaging

• Eau de Parfum: each perfume comes as a 10ml miniature in KAYALI's small faceted bottle with a white gem-shaped cap.
• Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm: a soft tube with a silicone applicator. According to KAYALI, both balms give "up to 8 hours of hydration." The Marshmallow balm is tinted and lightly scented with pink marshmallow, strawberry and whipped cream. The Pistachio Gelato balm is lightly scented with pistachio gelato, hazelnut, whipped cream and cotton candy.

By Terry Brightening CC Blush is a skincare-infused liquid blush in six shades, made with IGC Pigments, Japanese Rose Extract and a 3-vitamin complex. It costs £33 (UK) and $45 (US) on byterry.com, where it was listed on 18 September 2026. According to By Terry, it is built around Terry de Gunzburg's signature luminous finish, with shades running from soft pink to deep rosewood.

Updated 10 October 2026: Space NK and Cult Beauty now stock the blush in the UK at £33.

When Did the By Terry Brightening CC Blush Launch?

By Terry hasn't announced an official release date. The blush was listed on byterry.com on 18 September 2026 and is on sale on the brand's UK and US storefronts. By 10 October 2026, Space NK and Cult Beauty were also stocking it in the UK, and Space NK had listed it on its Ireland and Netherlands sites.

Price

• UK: £33 at By Terry, Space NK and Cult Beauty
• US: $45 at By Terry

By Terry Brightening CC Blush Shades

The Brightening CC Blush comes in six shades:

• N1 Baby Bloom: soft, delicate pink
• N2 Rose Rebel: vibrant rosy pink
• N3 Melon Melody: warm melon coral
• N4 Peach Pulse: fresh peachy coral

• UK: By Terry UK (£33), Space NK (£33), Cult Beauty (£33)
• Europe: Listed at Space NK Ireland and Netherlands; prices not confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at By Terry UK and US, Space NK UK and Cult Beauty UK.

What Makes the By Terry Brightening CC Blush Different?

• It is a liquid blush with a drop-shaped applicator, which By Terry says delivers a precise amount of product.
• Its colour comes from IGC Pigments (Intensive Glow Control), By Terry's blend of micronised colour pigments and luminous pearl pigments.
• It combines makeup and skincare ingredients: Japanese Rose Extract, Jasmine Leaf Extract, Phytosqualane and Vitamins E, B3 and B5.

Formula, Finish and Claims

According to By Terry, the IGC Pigments deliver even, multidimensional radiance, reflecting light evenly while letting the skin show through. The brand uses the tagline "Natural Color. Diamond-Like Radiance." By Terry describes the texture as an ultra-fresh, lightweight cream that melts into skin and blends easily, with colour that builds from natural to intense.

By Terry cites two tests:

• Up to 24H hydration, from an instrumental test on 11 subjects
• Visible colour for up to 12H, from a consumer test under dermatological supervision on 30 subjects. The same test also asked participants about the luminous finish, comfort and buildable intensity.

According to By Terry, each drop contains:

• Japanese Rose Extract: derived from rose cell biotechnology. The brand says it helps rejuvenate skin and supports firmness and elasticity.
• Jasmine Leaf Extract: derived from jasmine cell biotechnology. According to the brand, it helps brighten and even the complexion and supports antioxidant defences.
• Phytosqualane: a plant-derived emollient that, the brand says, strengthens the skin barrier, limits moisture loss and helps keep skin supple and comfortable.
• 3-Vitamin Complex (E, B3 & B5): described by By Terry as boosting radiance, supporting the skin barrier, hydrating and soothing.

The formula contains 87% ingredients of natural origin and is vegan. The brand calls it "clean" under its own By Terry clean charter. The packaging is 100% recyclable PET.

The blush shares its Brightening CC name with the By Terry Brightening CC Foundation, the brand's earlier radiance-focused serum foundation. For other new blushes, highlighters and complexion launches, see our makeup releases.

How By Terry Suggests Applying It

By Terry tells users to apply 1–2 drops directly onto the cheeks with the applicator. They should then blend with fingertips or a blush brush and layer gradually, from a sheer veil to a more vibrant flush. In a 9 October 2026 Instagram post, the brand calls it the "anti-blush blush." The post suggests a few touches blended higher on the cheekbones, into bronzer or contour, for a soft, sculpted look. Its illustration shows the placement as diagonal strokes on the upper cheekbone toward the temple.

Jo Malone London's Holiday 2026 collection adds two new colognes, Tangerine & Honey and Vanilla Scotch, plus advent calendars and gift sets. Both new scents are limited edition and sit alongside festive editions of Orange Bitters, Whisky & Cedarwood and Ginger Biscuit, with Tangerine & Honey priced at $180 (100 ml) in the US and £130 in the UK. The full Jo Malone London Holiday 2026 lineup was on sale in the US and UK by 10 October 2026.

Updated 10 October 2026: The collection is listed as available to add to bag on jomalone.com and jomalone.co.uk. Sephora US also lists it, with Tangerine & Honey and Whisky & Cedarwood marked Online Only. Because the new colognes are limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Jo Malone London Holiday 2026 Collection Launch?

Jo Malone London hasn't announced an official release date. Ginger Biscuit Cologne went online for all Sephora US clients on 27 September 2026. Now Smell This reported the two new colognes, Tangerine & Honey and Vanilla Scotch, on 29 September 2026. By 10 October 2026, the full collection was on sale at jomalone.com, jomalone.co.uk and Sephora US.

Candles: All candles are 200 g and £59 each in the UK. The range includes the new Vanilla Scotch Scented Candle, plus Ginger Biscuit, Orange Bitters and Pine & Eucalyptus. The Orange Bitters candle is $88 in the US. Orange Bitters also comes as a Diffuser (£79, 165 ml) and a Hand Cream (£24, 30 ml).

Our separate post covers the returning Jo Malone London Ginger Biscuit Cologne.

What's Inside: Advent Calendars and Sets

Christmas Kist Advent Calendar: $495 (US) / £375 (UK). Bought separately, the contents would cost £595, according to Jo Malone London UK. The brand describes it as "a luxurious trunk – which doubles up as an advent calendar". Miniature seasonal favourites are hidden inside crackers, ornaments and stockings, including colognes, candles and bath & body treats. A 30 ml fragrance is revealed on the 25th.

Don't confuse the Christmas Kist with the smaller 12 Days of Jo Malone London Advent Calendar, which costs $250 in the US. You can browse more fragrance advent calendars for 2026 on our advent calendar hub.

Gift sets (UK prices, jomalone.co.uk):

• Fragrant Festivities Cologne Collection: £80. Includes Orange Bitters, Ginger Biscuit, Whisky & Cedarwood and the new Tangerine & Honey.

In the US, Sephora lists the Mini Ginger Biscuit & Vanilla Scotch Perfume Gift Set at $50 (2 x 9 ml).

What Does the Collection Smell Like?

• Tangerine & Honey: Jo Malone London calls it "a twist of festive flavours": tangerine "drizzled with the elegant smoothness of honey and a spicy dash of clove". According to Now Smell This, it was inspired by a Scottish liqueur made from aged Scotch, spices, tangerines and honey.
• Vanilla Scotch: The brand describes "warm indulgent vanilla" with "a spirited splash of a Scotch whisky accord", roasted tonka bean and golden amber.
• Whisky & Cedarwood: Jo Malone London describes "fine whisky notes, edged with spicy pimento, finished with warm cedarwood".
• Orange Bitters: The brand calls it "a delectable winter's cocktail" that moves from juicy sweet orange and mandarin to bitter orange, prune, sandalwood and amber.

• Velvet Cloud Mattifying Primer: According to Catrice, it gives a soft matte, blurred finish that helps blur the look of pores. The gel looks frosted when dispensed.
• Soft Balance Skin Beautifier SPF 25: Contains rose-derived PDRN. The brand says it colour-corrects, blurs and moisturises, and it comes with a nozzle applicator.
• PDRN Moisture Lip Butter: Contains vegan PDRN, squalane and pomegranate seed oil, with a subtle vanilla scent. It gives sheer, buildable colour with a shiny finish.

Products

Daydreams Face Palette

Ulta Beauty describes this as a holiday-exclusive palette. It holds two cream-to-powder blushes, Daydreams and Moodberry, and two marbleized cream highlighters, Bisous Glow and Love Spark. The swirl pattern of the highlighters differs from pan to pan. The palette comes in a holographic pink compact with a mirror and is scented like sweet berries.

Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara Duo

The duo contains two full-size tubes of Better Than Sex Mascara. According to Too Faced:

• The hourglass-shaped brush separates, coats and curls each lash for volume and length.
• Film-forming polymers lock the curl in place.
• The formula is ophthalmologist tested and suitable for contact lens wearers.

The set costs $39 (US); buying the items separately would cost $58, according to its listed value.

Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss Collection

This four-piece set comes in squeezy tube packaging made for the holiday season. According to Too Faced, the formula is infused with sunflower and jojoba seed oils that hydrate and leave a glossy, non-sticky finish. The shades are:

• Fan favourites: Sour Watermelon (electric coral red) and Cherry Pie (cherry red).
• Limited-edition newcomers: Soda Pop (warm light nude) and Fresh Baked Cookie (medium cocoa nude).

The set costs $25 (US); buying the items separately would cost $88, according to its listed value.

Lip Injection Maximum Plump Lip Gloss Duo

The duo pairs two full-size Lip Injection Maximum Plump glosses. One is in Original (clear). The other is the limited-edition Taffy Twist, an ombre neon pink sparkle that fades into baby blue. According to Too Faced, the serum-like gloss gives extra-strength plumping and leaves lips feeling softer and smoother. Both glosses are scented like gummy bears. The set costs $43 (US); buying the items separately would cost $66, according to its listed value. The Lip Injection name also covers the brand's earlier small-batch Too Faced Fantasy Factory Lip Injection Lip Blush, a pH-activated plumping lip blush.

Chocolate Mousse Lip Kit (New)

This new liner-and-gloss kit contains:

• Chocolate Soleil Multi-Use Sculpting & Defining Pencil in Chocolate Mousse, full size, in a medium shade for lips, face and brows.
• Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss in Chocolate Mousse, limited edition, in a light nude brown.

Both products are chocolate scented.

Chocolate Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

The Too Faced Chocolate Nudes Eyeshadow Palette returns for Holiday 2026 as a limited edition priced at $49 (US). It holds 18 neutral shades in a chocolate bar-style tin. The shades come in matte, satin, metallic and sparkle finishes and are scented like chocolate.

Better Than Sex Mascara in Midnight Blue (New Shade)

The Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara now comes in a limited-edition Midnight Blue, which Too Faced describes as a deep blue. It joins the permanent Black and Chocolate and comes in a blue tube, 0.27 oz / 8 ml. It costs $29 at Too Faced US and Ulta Beauty and £28 at Too Faced UK.

According to Too Faced, it uses the original formula and hourglass brush.
