Lip Lab Mocha Marshmallow Lip Gloss: Release Date, Shades & Price

Lip Lab Mocha Marshmallow gloss on cocoa-dusted marshmallows, with a sheer beige swatch and a mug of marshmallow cocoa

Lip Lab Mocha Marshmallow Lip Gloss is a limited-edition sheer beige gloss with a creamy cocoa scent, sold as Lip Lab's October Flavor of the Month. It went on sale on 2 October 2026 for $35 in Lip Lab stores and at liplab.com. Lip Lab describes it as a "sheer beige lip gloss with a creamy cocoa scent". It comes in three shades, two of them in-store only, and the first in-person buyers at each store get a free lip scrub.

Release Date

Mocha Marshmallow went on sale on Friday, 2 October 2026, and is labelled [03] on Lip Lab's Flavor of the Month card. According to Lip Lab, each Flavor of the Month is available for a limited time only. The brand has not said when Mocha Marshmallow will be withdrawn. The previous Flavor of the Month gloss was Lip Lab's Cookie Crumble coral lip gloss, which Lip Lab said was sold through 1 October.

Price

  • US: $35 at liplab.com (Flavor of the Month)
  • UK: Not yet announced
  • Europe: Not yet announced

Lip Lab's homepage also says shoppers receive the Flavor of the Month as a gift when they spend $75+ in stores Monday to Thursday (terms apply).

The Shades

Mocha Marshmallow comes in three shades. Lip Lab currently lists two of them as available only in Lip Lab stores. The brand hasn't released shade names. Lip Lab's swatches show:

  • Sheer beige-pink: the lightest, a sheer wash of colour
  • Warm rosy-brown: a mid-tone neutral
  • Deep berry-plum/mocha brown: the darkest of the three

Where to Buy

  • US: Lip Lab stores (all three shades, including the two in-store shades) and Lip Lab ($35). According to Lip Lab, shoppers who aren't near a store can order it online.
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed
  • Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Lip Lab Mocha Marshmallow Lip Gloss Different?

  • Two of its three shades are currently listed as in-store only, rather than available online.
  • Lip Lab is giving a free full-size Agave+ Lip Scrub to the first 50 in-store buyers at each location.
  • It is a monthly, limited-time Flavor of the Month gloss with a cocoa scent, rather than a permanent product.

Formula and Finish

Mocha Marshmallow is a sheer gloss with a creamy cocoa scent. Lip Lab's Flavor of the Month product page lists the ingredients. They include polybutene, synthetic beeswax, castor seed oil, sodium hyaluronate and ethyl vanillin, with colourants varying by shade. It sits among Lip Lab's lip glosses in our makeup releases. It arrives in the same month as another sheer formula, the Bella Beauté Bar Sheer Veil Lipgloss, launching 9 October 2026.

In-Store Launch Offer

The first 50 people to buy the shade at each Lip Lab location get a free full-size Agave+ Lip Scrub, in stores only, while supplies last. This is Lip Lab's Agave Weekly Lip Scrub, which sells for $25 at liplab.com. According to Lip Lab, it exfoliates with fair trade golden sugar, which buffs lips physically, and papaya enzymes, which loosen dead skin cells. The brand says its agave extract and squalane help nourish and hydrate. Lip Lab describes the scrub as clean, vegan and cruelty free.

How to Use

Lip Lab's directions for the scrub are to scoop a little, massage it over the lips and wipe it away, with water optional. According to the brand, the scrub also helps remove longwear lip colour. For the gloss, Lip Lab says to swipe it on and add layers for more vibrancy and saturation.

Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist: What's New & Price

Close-up of a Purito Seoul mist bottle with a tiered teal spray nozzle under a green "New!" headline on pale grey.

Purito Seoul's Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist is a 100 ml face mist with a triple panthenol complex and bamboo extract. It costs $19.00 (US) and is listed on purito.com and Amazon US, following its announcement in September 2026. According to Purito Seoul, the lightweight, dewy mist delivers instant barrier hydration and helps calm visible redness, and it can be used before or over makeup.

When Did the Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist Launch?

Purito Seoul hasn't announced an official release date. The brand announced the mist in September 2026. As of 7 October 2026, it is listed on Purito Seoul's own site and on Amazon US. It is the second Purito Seoul launch we've covered this autumn, after the Purito Seoul Retinol Retinal 2000 Caffeine Eye Cream, the brand's 40 mL nighttime eye treatment. For another Korean face mist from the same season, see the innisfree Green Tea Matcha Mist, a 90 mL limited edition listed on innisfree Singapore. More launches are in our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases.

Price

  • US: $19.00 for 100 ml at both purito.com and Amazon
  • UK: Not yet announced
  • Europe: Not yet announced

Where to Buy

  • US: Purito Seoul ($19.00), Amazon ($19.00)
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed
  • Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist Different?

  • It is a spray version of Purito Seoul's existing Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream, described by the brand as a cream-in-mist.
  • It uses three forms of panthenol totalling 10,000 ppm (1%). One of them is panthenol encapsulated in plant exosomes derived from red beet.
  • Purito says to shake the bottle before each use so the panthenol capsules disperse evenly through the formula.

Formula: Triple Panthenol and Bamboo Extract

The headline is 3X Panthenol, which combines three forms:

  • Panthenol, the soothing, moisture-binding form of vitamin B5
  • Liposome panthenol, made with liposome technology
  • Exosome panthenol, encapsulated in red beet-derived plant exosomes

According to the brand, the complex moisturizes and supports a barrier weakened by dryness.

The formula also contains Bambusa Vulgaris (bamboo) extract from Damyang, Korea, at 150 ppm. Purito says the extract is rich in amino acids and minerals that mirror the skin's own moisture.

Other listed ingredients include niacinamide, ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate, squalane, shea butter, olive oil, adenosine and a long list of peptides. The Amazon listing counts 14 peptides.

On its Amazon listing, Purito describes the mist with several further claims:

  • Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic
  • Hypoallergenic (HRIPT-tested), with a 0.00 irritation score
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone

What the Brand Says: Test Results

Purito commissioned a test with the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences on 31 adults, run from June to July 2026. According to the brand, the results were:

  • +148% skin hydration after one use, which the Amazon listing describes as 3.06× the hydration of a control mist
  • +47.10% hydration of a damaged skin barrier after one use
  • 28.61% reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) after one use
  • 8.19% reduction in UV-induced visible redness after two weeks

These are brand-sponsored results rather than independent research, and individual results will vary.

How to Use

Purito says to shake the bottle, close your eyes and spray evenly over the face from 10–20 cm away. The brand suggests using it in four ways: as a first hydration step after cleansing, lightly over makeup, after sun exposure, or whenever skin feels tight during the day. For very dry skin, it recommends layering two to three light coats, and over makeup it advises a light mist rather than a large amount at once.

Packaging and Safety Notes

Purito's product page says the brand uses eco-friendly recycled plastic and marks the bottle as PP 5. The brand advises against contact with the eyes and against use on broken, wounded or irritated skin. It also says to stop using the mist if irritation occurs and to consult a doctor if irritation persists.

SUQQU AQUFONS Autumn 2026 Skincare: Release Date, Products & Prices

SUQQU AQUFONS Autumn 2026 Skincare: Release Date, Products & Prices

SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion and Emollient Finishing Fluid in frosted pale-blue bottles with domed caps

The SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion and Emollient Finishing Fluid are a renewed lotion and emulsion in SUQQU's AQUFONS skincare line. Both went on sale in Japan on 2 October 2026, priced at ¥8,800 for the 180mL lotion and ¥16,500 for the 100mL fluid, tax included. They are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

Release Date

The renewed SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion and Emollient Finishing Fluid went on sale in Japan on 2 October 2026. SUQQU has not announced release dates for other markets. They are among the latest launches in our skincare release news.

Price

  • Japan: Intense Hydrating Lotion 180mL, ¥8,800; Emollient Finishing Fluid 100mL, ¥16,500 (tax included)
  • US / UK / Europe: Not yet announced

The Products

According to SUQQU, AQUFONS is built on the idea that dryness leads to dullness while moisture delivers luster. The brand says the name joins AQUA (water) and FONS (a spring).

SUQQU AQUFONS Intense Hydrating Lotion (180mL, ¥8,800)

According to SUQQU, this lotion uses Even Hydration Delivery Technology to spread moisture quickly and evenly through the stratum corneum from the moment it touches the skin. The brand describes a silky, non-sticky feel that leaves skin soft, moist and almost "fluffy," as though it has soaked up plenty of water. SUQQU also says it spreads evenly over skin with uneven texture or visible pores, which the brand links to the patchy look of dry skin.

SUQQU AQUFONS Emollient Finishing Fluid (100mL, ¥16,500)

The fluid is a watery, smooth emulsion that, according to SUQQU, seals in moisture as well as a cream does. It uses the brand's proprietary Lamellar Capsule Veil technology, which is built on capsule-shaped lamellar particles. SUQQU says these particles reflect and scatter light to give skin a refined glow and a plump, bouncy, dimensional look. The brand also says the fluid finishes non-sticky and smooth, so base makeup goes on easily afterwards.

Where to Buy

  • US: Not yet confirmed
  • UK: Not yet confirmed
  • Europe: Not yet confirmed
  • Japan: On sale from 2 October 2026; specific retailers not yet listed. See the SUQQU official website.
  • Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the SUQQU AQUFONS Lotion and Fluid Different?

  • According to SUQQU, the two products split the work. The lotion delivers moisture evenly into the stratum corneum, and the fluid seals it in with what the brand calls a cream-level seal.
  • The Emollient Finishing Fluid uses SUQQU's Lamellar Capsule Veil technology, whose capsule-shaped particles the brand says reflect light for glow and a makeup-ready finish.
  • Both are renewed products in the AQUFONS line, which also includes the AQUFONS Smooth Renew Serum.

Other face-care launches this autumn include the Mary Kay K-Beauty Texture Edit, three Korea-made skin care products released on 5 October 2026. For another new hydrating liquid step, see the FRUDIA Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster, a 140 ml dual-layer bubble toner.

Scent and Packaging

Both products share an aquatic floral woody fragrance that SUQQU says is reminiscent of fresh natural springs:

  • Top: fresh kabosu citrus
  • Middle: lily of the valley and rose
  • Base: sandalwood and cedar

Both come in frosted pale-blue bottles.

How to Use

SUQQU's routine follows its "serum-first" methodology: a serum goes onto just-cleansed skin first. The Intense Hydrating Lotion follows, then the Emollient Finishing Fluid, which the brand says seals in moisture.

Chanel Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection: First Look at Products, Swatches & Packaging

Chanel Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection: First Look at Products, Swatches & Packaging

Brunette model in white fur earmuffs and tweed jacket holds gold Chanel gift boxes with white ribbons and shopping bag.

Chanel is preparing its Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection, titled Chanel Winter Village and inspired by St. Moritz, with a launch reported for 15 October 2026. Pricing has not been announced.

Status: Unconfirmed — leaked images. Chanel has not officially announced this collection. Product names, shades, packaging and release dates may change.

The lineup takes its cue from the snow-dusted streets and gondola-lined slopes of St. Moritz. It includes festive 31 Le Rouge lipsticks, lip glosses, an eyeshadow quad, a gold liquid liner, an oversized illuminating powder, a blush, hand cream and nail polish. Details come from newly surfaced campaign imagery, earlier promo shots from Asian beauty accounts and Japanese magazine features.

Update (30 September 2026): Beauty insiders report that the Chanel Holiday 2026 Winter Village collection will launch in the second half of October 2026, and one source gives 15 October. A second report places the launch between the second half of October and early November 2026. Chanel hasn't confirmed a date, price or retailers yet.

The Winter Village Campaign

The campaign depicts a snow-covered alpine hamlet with chalets, ski breaks and the maison's signature gondolas gliding through the village. The gift campaign uses wintry imagery and wrapped gift boxes, with hero fragrance and body pieces styled into the snowy scene: N°5, Coco Mademoiselle body oils and the 31 Le Rouge lipstick. The makeup collection is designed to sit within the same story.

Products, Swatches & Packaging

The lineup combines core Chanel formulas with limited-edition pieces:

  • 31 Le Rouge (three festive editions): balm, satin and matte finishes in sheer white, pink and red. They come in clear-and-white cases with gold trim, housed in a quilted white magnetic sleeve.
  • Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss: shades 462 Givré and 464 Étincelle, plus a Trio Set that adds the exclusive shade 817 Aura and comes with a fluffy white drawstring pouch. The glosses are white-silver, gold and peachy pink, and swatch as glassy washes with fine sparkle.
  • Les 4 Ombres 39 Ombres d'Or: Nuvole di Bellezza lists the shades as warm taupe, pearly pink, brown and golden champagne. Earlier images suggested a taupe, pearly white, pale champagne and deep brown line-up. The quad has an embossed compact and a soft white case.
  • Le Liner de Chanel 554 Éclat Doré: a metallic gold liquid liner.
  • Neige d'Or Oversized Illuminating Powder: a white-gold highlighter embossed with a ski-lift and pine-tree scene. It comes with a matching white pouch.
  • Joues Contraste Intense Mont Rose: a satin rosewood blush with script embossing pressed into the pan.
  • La Crème Main: the egg-shaped hand cream, with a soft knit pouch featuring a gold Chanel logo.
  • Le Vernis: two lacquers, 445 Blanc Alpin (snowy white) and 447 Scintillance (gold).
  • Sublimage Le Concentré Lumière: a 15 ml liquid highlighter with fan brush, listed alongside the collection by Nuvole di Bellezza.

Shade Names to Watch

A Japanese swatch card lists the three 31 Le Rouge editions as Blanc Éternel, Rose Enchantée and Rouge Féerique. They move from sheer white through soft coral pink to bright cherry red. Earlier transcriptions from katakana spelled two of the names differently, so treat spellings as unconfirmed until Chanel publishes an official list.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

The colour range of soft neutrals, pink blush and gold shimmer follows the palette Chanel has used in previous holiday collections. Nuvole di Bellezza notes that this year pairs gold with snow white, cool pinks and wood-toned browns rather than traditional red-and-gold festive motifs. The main differences are in presentation: the quilted lipstick sleeve, the soft white pouches and the embossed Neige d'Or pan.

We'll update this post as soon as Chanel confirms the release date, pricing and full shade list.

The limited-edition fruity gourmand flankers launch in the Sephora app in the US on 15 October 2026, and prices haven't been announced.

It is a limited edition and joins the autumn 2026 launches in our BeautyTalkClub fragrance releases.

  • In the US, the launch starts in the Sephora app one day before Sephora stores. In the UK, The Perfume Shop lists it as an exclusive with a mirror gift on 100ml or larger bottles.

Bottle and Packaging

Both fragrances come in the Born in Roma line's signature studded bottles, coloured ruby red for this edition. Fragrantica describes the Uomo bottle as a red collector's edition of Valentino's Rockstud design.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Rendez-Vous Ruby is the latest limited-edition flanker of the Born in Roma Donna and Uomo pillars. It follows earlier colour-themed editions such as Coral Fantasy, Yellow Dream, Green Stravaganza, Purple Melancholia and Ivory. Born in Roma was also part of the Valentino Coral Fantasy Collection, which presented the fragrance in Coral Fantasy packaging. The earlier Valentino Donna Born in Roma Green Stravaganza also paired jasmine with vanilla, but opened on Lapsang Souchong tea instead of fruit. The Valentino Born In Roma The Gold Donna is another Donna flanker, built on mandarin, gardenia and coconut.
