New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

Kay Beauty, the makeup brand Katrina Kaif co-owns with Nykaa, has launched the Hydra Luscious Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain in eight shades at ₹1,199 for 3.5ml. It went live on kaybeauty.com on 30 September 2026 and is being promoted as a festive pick for Diwali.

What's New

The Hydra Luscious Lip Gloss Stain is a hybrid formula. Kay Beauty describes it as a "Hydrating Gloss + Stain": it goes on with a glossy finish, then leaves a natural, long-wearing stain as the shine wears off. On its own site the brand calls it the Hydra Luscious Gloss Stain. On Instagram it appears as the "Hydraluscious Lip Gloss Stain" under the hashtag #GlossUpThisDiwali.

According to Kay Beauty, the formula is:

• Weightless and non-sticky, with rich colour and a high-shine finish
• Designed to lock onto lips with almost zero transfer or bleeding
• Made to give fuller-looking lips with intense hydration
• Built on what the brand calls HipDewy Technology, its name for a juicy, lightweight texture that seals in shine and colour while helping lips retain moisture

Shades

The range has eight shades: Love, Grace, Tender, Tranquil, Bliss, Kind, Gentle and Honey. Going by the official swatches, they run from nude-peach and brown tones through pinks to deep reds.

In the campaign imagery, Katrina Kaif wears Honey, Rudrapriya wears Kind and Janhavi wears Tender.

What the Brand Says About the Formula

Kay Beauty highlights three ingredients:

• Chamomile extract, which the brand says soothes dry lips
• Vitamin C
• Murumuru butter

The full ingredient list starts with water and includes silicones, film-formers and fragrance (parfum). Kay Beauty labels the product vegan and displays a PETA cruelty-free icon. It is manufactured by Cosmax Indonesia and imported by Nykaa KK Beauty.

How to Use

Kay Beauty gives these steps:

1. Apply to clean lips. Outline the contours first, then fill in from the centre towards the outer corners.
2. Wear one coat for a sheer, glazed tint.
3. Layer for more colour and shine.
4. Reapply at any time.

Key Details

Every shade costs the same ₹1,199 for 3.5ml on both kaybeauty.com and Nykaa. The brand has not announced US, UK or other international pricing or availability.

Laura Geller has released Geller's Greatest Magic Moment, a limited-edition Holiday 2026 face and eye palette priced at $39 in the US. It comes in two versions: a palette-and-brush set sold only at Sephora, and a palette-only version on the brand's own site. The palette combines a baked blush, a highlighter and a two-in-one eyeshadow duo in one compact.

What's New

The two versions differ in what comes in the box:

• Sephora set: Sephora lists it as "New Limited Edition", "Only at Sephora" and an "App Exclusive". It includes the 0.15 oz / 4.3 g palette and a Dual-Ended Blush + Bronzer Brush. The set costs $39. Sephora values the contents at $96 if bought separately.
• Laura Geller version: The brand sells the palette alone as the Geller's Greatest Baked Face & Eye Palette: Magic Moment. It is listed at $39, down from a regular price of $70. It currently shows "Join the waitlist".

On the packaging, the palette is called the "Geller's Greatest Baked Face & Eye Trio – Magic Moment". Sephora says the products are cruelty-free.

Products and Shades

The palette holds three pans:

• Golden Apricot: baked blush
• Dulce de Leche: highlighter, according to the brand's swatch card and Sephora's ingredient list. Laura Geller's own product page describes the trio as blush, bronzer and eyeshadow, so the brand uses both terms for this shade.
• Sabbia / Raisin: a two-in-one baked eyeshadow duo

What the Brand Says

According to Laura Geller, the palette uses the brand's Italian-made baked formulas, designed with mature skin in mind. The brand and Sephora say the colour looks smooth and natural and resists caking or settling into fine lines. The brand also describes the compact as travel-friendly, with a built-in mirror.

The ingredient lists include jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, centella asiatica extract and green tea (camellia sinensis) leaf extract.

How to Apply

Laura Geller gives these steps:

1. Blush: Apply Golden Apricot to the apples of the cheeks and blend up toward the hairline.
2. Highlighter: Apply Dulce de Leche to the high points of the face.
3. Eyes: Blend one or both duo shades over the lid. For more definition, use the lighter shade as a base and the darker shade in the crease.

The dual-ended brush in the Sephora set is designed for blending and building colour on the cheeks.

• US: Laura Geller ($39, palette only, waitlist), Sephora ($39, palette + brush, app exclusive)
• UK: Not yet confirmed

LYS Beauty has released the Mini Elite Standard 2-piece Bronze + Blush Collection, a $20 limited-edition set of two cream sticks, available now as a Sephora US app exclusive. It is sold in three versions, each pairing a different bronzer shade with the same blush.

It's part of the LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection, which LYS Beauty announced on 7 October 2026. The set is now also sold at lysbeauty.com for $20.

What's New

The set brings LYS Beauty's Elite Standard cream sticks to Sephora in mini size. The Elite Standard sticks are not sold as full sizes on the LYS Beauty website, so this mini set is the format offered. Sephora lists it as New, Limited Edition and Only at Sephora in its Value & Gift Sets category. Purchase is through the Sephora app, according to the retailer's product page.

Each set contains two 0.09 oz / 2.55 g sticks, one bronzer and one blush. LYS Beauty describes the formulas as creamy and weightless. The brand says they blend and build pigment without accentuating texture or disturbing makeup underneath. LYS also notes the size suits travel and touch-ups.

Shades

All three versions include the blush Cherished, a magenta pink with champagne flecks. The bronzer shade is what changes:

• Harmony + Cherished: Harmony bronzer, warm golden undertone, for medium skin tones
• Courage + Cherished: Courage bronzer, neutral/olive undertone, for tan skin tones
• Strength + Cherished: Strength bronzer, warm golden undertone, for dark skin tones

Sephora lists all three bronzers with a natural finish.

Key Details

The sticks contain skincare ingredients. According to LYS Beauty:

• Green tea extract soothes and hydrates skin and reduces the appearance of redness.
• Watermelon seed extract helps skin retain moisture for a radiant look.
• Rosehip oil is rich in vitamins A, C and E and helps reduce the look of dark spots while boosting moisture.

The brand says the products are vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free. Sephora lists the set as Clean at Sephora and made without parabens.

How to Use

LYS Beauty suggests these placements:

• Bronzer: the hollows of the cheeks, the temples and along the jawline.
• Blush: the apples of the cheeks.
• Underpainting: apply both sticks before foundation so colour shows softly through the base.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

The set sits alongside another limited-edition LYS mini at Sephora, the Mini Speak Love 3-piece lip balm set. Both are small, lower-priced ways to try the brand's formulas.

Key Details

These are mini advent calendars with six compartments, not 12- or 24-day countdowns. Both use the same purple Twilight Zone box. MINTD BOX presents them as a gift for skincare enthusiasts or as a personal countdown.

For Collection One, the product listing gives a value of £700, while the mintdbox.com homepage banner gives £662. For Collection Two, the listing gives £658.

m.ph by Mary Phillips, the brand from makeup artist Mary Phillips, has launched two limited-edition holiday 2026 lip kits on mphbeauty.com in October 2026. The Hard to Quit Kit costs $55 and the Lined & Lit Kit costs $38. Both sets contain only full-size products in existing shades.

What's New

Both kits are holiday sets built around the brand's best-known product, the Lip Ciggy. The packaging uses a retro pin-up illustration, and the campaign tagline is "Smoking Hot. Hard to Quit."

Hard to Quit Kit

The brand's description reads: "You know that one is never enough." The trio holds three full-size Lip Ciggys:

• First Base, which the brand describes as a cool mauve
• Crush, a cool berry rose
• Siren, a brick red

The kit costs $55. Buying the three lipsticks separately at $26 each would cost $78.

Lined & Lit Kit

m.ph calls this pairing its "most coveted lip combo" and describes it as "perfect for parties." It includes:

• The Overliner in Sizzle, which the brand calls a warm rose nude
• Lip Ciggy in Love Bites, a sheer black currant

The duo costs $38. Bought individually, the two products would cost $51 ($26 for the Lip Ciggy and $25 for The Overliner).

Key Details

Lip Ciggy is a pocket-sized stick that the brand calls Mary Phillips' go-to lip. According to m.ph, it gives sheer, shiny colour. The brand says its peptides, vitamin E and squalane hydrate, smooth and nourish the lips. The kits' ingredient lists include hyaluronic acid, squalane, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and -5, and tocopherol.

The Overliner is a precise wooden lip pencil based on Mary Phillips' overlining technique. The brand says it defines and contours the lips, and that its formula includes peptides.

What the Brand Says

m.ph recommends tracing The Overliner along the natural lip shape, starting at the outer corners. It suggests going just outside the cupid's bow and the centre of the lower lip for a fuller look. The brand then advises swiping on the Lip Ciggy and building the colour as desired, or patting it on with a finger for a "just kissed" finish.

Jo Malone London has released the Mini Ginger Biscuit & Vanilla Scotch Perfume Gift Set, a $50 holiday duo of two 9 mL limited-edition colognes, now available only at Sephora in the US. The set is listed as "New Limited Edition", "App Exclusive" and "Only at Sephora", and has no customer reviews yet. It is part of the Jo Malone London Holiday 2026 collection.

What's New

Jo Malone London and Sephora describe the set as "a perfectly paired festive duo." It pairs a returning holiday favourite with a new gourmand cologne, both in travel-size 9 mL bottles. The set comes in a red, navy and gold tartan gift bag with a black handle, so it is ready to give without extra wrapping.

Vanilla Scotch Cologne

Vanilla Scotch is the newer of the two, with its first Sephora reviews appearing on 3 October 2026. Its key notes are Scotch, vanilla and amber. Jo Malone London describes it as "warm indulgent vanilla blended with a splash of Scotch whisky accord, tumbling over roasted tonka bean, and wrapped in the sensual allure of golden amber." According to the brand, the result is a rich, warming trail. It is also sold on its own as a Vanilla Scotch Cologne Travel Spray for $38.00 at Sephora.

Ginger Biscuit Cologne

Ginger Biscuit is the brand's limited-edition festive gourmand, with key notes of ginger, roasted hazelnut and tonka bean. The brand says it captures the comforting scent of buttery biscuits melting into caramel. The full-size 100 ml bottle is $175.00 at Sephora. We covered its return in detail in our Ginger Biscuit Cologne release post.

Key Details

• Shared base: Both colognes include tonka bean. This gives the pair a common warm, sweet foundation that suits wearing them together.
• Format: At 0.3 oz / 9 mL each, the minis are sized for travel or for trying both scents before buying a full bottle.
• Gifting: The set has a single price and comes in its own gift bag. It falls in the stocking-stuffer and small-gift range for the holiday season.
• Limited run: Both scents are limited edition, so availability may not last through the season.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($50.00, only at Sephora)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

jane iredale has launched Just Kissed pH Lip Oil, a pH-activated tinted lip oil priced at $28.00 in the US and available in three shades. It has been on sale since September 2026, and the brand announced it on Instagram on 5 October 2026. It is a new formula, separate from the brand's older Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain.

What's New

The main feature of the launch is its pH-activated colour. According to jane iredale, the oil reacts to the wearer's skin chemistry and "blooms" into a custom tint, so the same shade can look different from person to person. The brand also says the formula leaves a subtle stain effect, so some colour remains as the shine wears off.

This puts the line in the colour-changing lip oil category, but it keeps the Just Kissed name the brand already uses for its lip and cheek stain.

Shades

Just Kissed pH Lip Oil comes in three shades, which jane iredale describes as universally flattering:

• Blooming Pink
• Blooming Peach
• Blooming Berry

The brand suggests trying all three to find a favourite, since the final tint depends on each person's pH.

What the Brand Says

jane iredale describes the texture as lightweight, cushiony and weightless, with a healthy, glossy shine that is not tacky. The brand's other claims include:

• Nourishing oil blend: Pomegranate, Raspberry, Jojoba and Grape Seed oils help maintain hydration and comfort.
• Pomegranate Sterols: these help support moisture and softness.
• Comfort: the brand says the oil instantly comforts lips and gives a smooth, plump look.
• Applicator: a flocked applicator flexes to cushion the lips, and its slanted edge follows natural lip contours.

Ulta's listing adds the brand's ingredient notes. Grape Seed Oil supplies essential fatty acids, and Raspberry Seed Oil is described as soothing for stressed skin. Jojoba is said to help lock in moisture.

How to Apply

jane iredale advises applying the oil to clean, bare lips for the best colour-changing result. The brand notes that layering it over lipstick, liner or balm can create a barrier between the formula and the lips. That barrier can block the pH reaction and change how the colour develops. The shade ingredients vary slightly between shades, so check the packaging for the current ingredient list.

Price and Where to Buy

The lip oil costs $28.00 per shade in the US and CA$46.70 in Canada. Ulta Beauty lists it as in stock, with no customer reviews yet.

• US: jane iredale ($28.00), Ulta Beauty ($28.00)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: jane iredale Canada (CA$46.70); other markets not yet confirmed

Peach & Lily has released two Glass Skin Holiday 2026 kits: the five-piece Glass Skin Festive Luxe Kit at $59 and the Glass Skin Ready-to-Glow Mask Set at $28. The brand announced both on Instagram on 6 October 2026. The Festive Luxe Kit has been listed on peachandlily.com since 3 October 2026, and both kits are in stock at Ulta Beauty now.

What's New: Glass Skin Festive Luxe Kit

The Festive Luxe Kit costs $59. Buying the five items separately would cost $125, according to Ulta's listing and the compare-at price on peachandlily.com. Ulta marks the kit "New" and "Only at Ulta", although the brand's own site also sells it. The products are:

• Hydrobubble Deep Foam Cleanser: 30 ml / 1.01 fl oz
• Glass Skin Face Polisher: 24 g / 0.84 oz (Ulta lists 0.85 oz)
• Bio Rice Wine Softening Toner: 30 ml / 1.01 fl oz
• MiniProtein Exosome Bioactive Ampoule: 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz
• Peptide Pro Firming Moisturizer: 50 ml / 1.69 fl oz, which the brand describes as full size

According to Peach & Lily, the routine is designed to visibly firm skin, smooth the look of fine lines and boost radiance. The brand says the ampoule contains biomimetic miniproteins, exosomes and phyto growth factors. It says the moisturizer pairs a peptide complex with tremella extract, phytosteryl and squalane.

What the Brand Says

Peach & Lily reports the following consumer study results:

• 100% agreed the cleanser removed dirt, makeup and SPF without stripping skin
• 96% saw more luminosity and more even texture with the Face Polisher
• 95% saw brighter, more radiant skin with the toner

The brand also cites a third-party consumer study in which fine lines around the lips looked softened after six weeks of using Peptide Pro. Peach & Lily says its formulas are fragrance-free and alcohol-free.

Key Details: Glass Skin Ready-to-Glow Mask Set

The Ready-to-Glow Mask Set costs $28 at Ulta, against a stated $32 value if the masks are bought separately. It contains four Glass Skin Ginseng Collagen Masks. According to Ulta and the brand, each sheet holds a full 1.41 oz (40 g) bottle of serum with 25 ingredients, including:

• 2% ginseng extract
• 9 peptides, including copper peptide
• a 55,000 ppm collagen complex, which the brand's caption calls vegan
• 2% niacinamide
• a hyaluronic acid complex
• cica

The mask turns from opaque to clear as it absorbs. It can be worn for 30 minutes as a quick fix, for 3 hours as a full treatment, or overnight. In the brand's study:

• 100% saw more radiant skin
• 94% agreed skin felt smoother, with less noticeable fine lines
• 95% saw glowing, hydrated skin all day

How to Use the Festive Luxe Routine

1. Cleanse: lather a dime-sized amount of cleanser with water, massage it in, then rinse. Use AM and PM.
2. Polish: rub a dime-sized amount of polisher on wet hands and massage it over the face for one minute, avoiding the eyes. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Tone: shake the toner well and apply it before serums.
4. Ampoule: apply to clean skin after toner and serum.
5. Moisturize: apply Peptide Pro as the last step before SPF.

Neither kit has customer reviews on Ulta yet.
