New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

AMUSE SEOUL has released two new shades of its Lip Smudger overlining lip pencil: Cherry Drizzle, a cherry red, and 09 Choco Drizzle, a muted chocolate brown. Both are available now on Amazon US for $15.99 each, and 09 Choco Drizzle is also sold at Ounass UAE for AED 67.

Meet the New Drizzle Duo

The Lip Smudger is AMUSE's overlining pencil. It is a slim 4.5 mm pencil designed to trace just outside the natural lip line for a fuller-looking lip. According to AMUSE, the formula is creamy and blendable, applies softly and adheres tightly to the lips for long-lasting wear. On its Amazon listing, the brand also describes the pencil as hypoallergenic-tested and cruelty-free.

• Cherry Drizzle — a rich, deep cherry red.
• 09 Choco Drizzle — a soft, muted chocolate brown (listed on Amazon as "Muted Choco Brown").

The 5-in-1 Uses

AMUSE markets the Lip Smudger as a 5-in-1 pencil. Beyond overlining, the brand says it can be used as:

1. A lip liner for definition
2. A lip shading tool to deepen the centre of the lips
3. A lip makeup base to even out natural lip colour
4. A soft-velvet lipstick worn all over
5. A cream blush patted onto the cheeks

Each Drizzle pencil has a coordinating AMUSE Dew Tint shade: Dippin Cherry pairs with Cherry Drizzle, and Dippin Choco pairs with Choco Drizzle. Layered together, they create the brand's glossy lip-dip combination.

How to Wear the Overlining Hack

1. Start on clean, balm-free lips so the pencil grips.
2. Lightly trace just outside the natural lip line, focusing on the cupid's bow and the centre of the lower lip.
3. Smudge inward with a fingertip or brush so the edge blends into the lip.
4. Layer a matching tint or gloss on top.

Where to Buy

Diptyque has opened UK pre-orders for its Advent Calendar 2026, priced at £420, with US availability from 15th October 2026. This year's calendar has an enchanted forest theme and was designed with French artist Jean-Simon Roch.

The Design: A Craftsman's Toolbox

Diptyque describes this year's calendar as a craftsman's toolbox imagined in collaboration with Jean-Simon Roch. The illustrated box features tiny woodland creatures and golden detailing across every panel. It weighs 5.5kg. The drawers are removable, so the box can be reused after Christmas, and it is made from FSC-certified paper and card.

The calendar costs £420 in the UK, with US availability from 15th October 2026. According to Diptyque, it holds a selection of 25 treasures: limited-edition scents, new arrivals, generous formats and body care rituals. These span fragrance, candles, bath, body and home. Diptyque's US and Canadian pages currently list the calendar as "Coming Soon".

Belgian home-fragrance house Baobab Collection has released its 2026 advent calendar, the Advent Calendar Voyage Extraordinaire. It has been available since September 2026, priced at $595 in the US.

Its winter-sports-inspired décor celebrates the Holiday Season "beside the fire, just below snow-capped peaks." Its twenty-four doors hold miniature-format candles, home sprays and body care.

What's Inside the 24 Doors

Baobab Collection describes the calendar as "a true ritual of discovery." Its doors hold a mix of the brand's candle, home fragrance and body care lines:

Hempz has released its Holiday 2026 body care collection in the US, priced from $6.99 to $20.00 depending on product, size and retailer. The products were added to hempz.com in July 2026 and stocked at Ulta Beauty from September 2026. This post covers two limited-edition body lotions (Winter Mint & Frosted Cranberry and Vanilla Bean & Coconut Snowball) and three mini gift kits. All of them are available now. According to Hempz, the formulas are built on 100% pure natural hemp seed oil, rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

The Two Limited-Edition Body Lotions

The collection's headline products are two Limited Edition body moisturizers, sold in 12 oz and 2.25 oz travel sizes:

• Winter Mint & Frosted Cranberry: notes of sweet mint, frosted cranberry and amber vanilla. According to Hempz's Ulta listing, peppermint oil helps soothe dry skin with a slight cooling effect, and vanilla extract helps protect skin from free radicals.
• Vanilla Bean & Coconut Snowball: notes of sweet vanilla, soft shredded coconut and a cozy cashmere accord. The brand says sugarcane extract draws moisture from the air to help keep skin hydrated, alongside vanilla extract and shea butter.

Hempz describes both formulas as ultra-light, fast-absorbing and non-greasy. Both contain shea butter and hemp seed oil, which the brand says help hydrate, nourish and condition dry skin.

Three Giftable Mini Kits

Three mini sets round out the release:

• Merry & Bright Trio: a boxed set with a Vanilla Bean & Coconut Snowball lip balm (0.25 oz) and mini lotion (2.25 oz), plus a Winter Mint & Frosted Cranberry mini lotion (2.25 oz). Hempz says the lotions are dermatologist tested.
• Mini Holiday Hydration Kit Beauty Actives: four 2.25 oz Beauty Actives mini lotions in a free festive green zip-top bag. Each lotion has a targeted ingredient:
  • Brazilian Berry (floral & fruity) with peptide + amino acids
  • Serene Waters (zen & tranquil) with magnesium
  • Sweet Jasmine & Rose (floral & romantic) with collagen booster
  • Koa & Sweet Almond (cozy & nutty) with shea butter
• Mini Sparkle Season Kit: three 2.25 oz shimmer lotions in a holiday box:
  • Spun Sugar & Vanilla Bean (cotton candy and vanilla; champagne gold shimmer)
  • Glow Getter (bergamot and vanilla; rose gold shimmer)
  • Rosé All Day (sparkling berries and pink sugar crystals; iridescent pink shimmer)
  The shimmer comes from ethically sourced mica.

The Wider Holiday 2026 Range

Hempz's Holiday 2026 page on hempz.com lists more products than the five above. These include:

• Winter Mint & Frosted Cranberry and Vanilla Bean & Coconut Snowball lip balms
• Vanilla Bean & Coconut Snowball and White Pumpkin & Toasted Marshmallow hand creams
• Body lotions in Honeycrisp Apple & Cherry Chai, White Pumpkin & Toasted Marshmallow, Sugared Gumdrops, Scarlet Woods and Vanilla Sugar Cookie

MOIRA Cosmetics has released the MOIRA Dreamlight Glow & Blur Blush Kit at Ulta Beauty for $30. The set contains two Dreamlight Highlighters, two shades of Love Blur Blush and a free Angled Blush Brush. Ulta's product description also refers to it as the Dreamlight Glow & Blur Blush Bundle.

MOIRA has since launched the MOIRA Blur Lip Contour Liner, a $7 soft-focus matte lip liner in 12 shades, on moirabeauty.com on 8 October 2026.

What's Inside the Kit

The kit contains four products:

• Dreamlight Highlighter in 002 Honeysuckle — a champagne/golden-pearl glow
• Dreamlight Highlighter in 004 Foxy Pink — a soft pink-pearl shimmer
• Love Blur Blush in 004 Little Gem — a warm coral-pink
• Love Blur Blush in 008 Sweet Whisper — a muted rosy mauve-pink

Ulta also includes a free Angled Blush Brush.

Price and Value

The kit costs $30 at Ulta Beauty. Buying the four products one by one on MOIRA's site would cost $38: two highlighters at $10 each and two Love Blur Blushes at $9 each. That works out to a saving of $8, before counting the free brush.

Key Details: The Formulas

The Dreamlight Highlighters are pressed powders made with what MOIRA calls "diamond dust". According to MOIRA, they deliver a subtle sparkle for face and body, including shoulders, arms, legs and collarbones. Customer reviews on MOIRA's site mention a silky glide and strong pigment payoff.

The Love Blur Blush is a bouncy cream-to-powder formula.

• Finish: MOIRA says it melts into skin and sets to a soft-focus blurred matte.
• Ingredients: the list includes squalane, ceramide NP, rose hip (Rosa canina) extract and sunflower seed oil. According to the brand, the formula helps strengthen the skin barrier and provides lightweight hydration.
• Wear and coverage: MOIRA describes it as lightweight, buildable and transfer-resistant.
• Blurring: both MOIRA and Ulta say it smooths the appearance of pores and fine lines.
• Free-from claims: MOIRA lists the blush as cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free and gluten-free.
• Shade range: the full Love Blur Blush line comes in 12 shades.

How to Wear It

• Brand directions: Ulta's listing gives these steps:
  • Apply Love Blur Blush to the apples of the cheeks with a brush or fingertips, blend outward, and build color as desired.
  • Apply Dreamlight Highlighter to the cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow.
• Warm pairing: Little Gem on the cheeks with Honeysuckle on the cheekbones and brow bone.
• Cool pairing: Sweet Whisper with Foxy Pink.
• Layering tip: Love Blur is a cream-to-powder, so apply it before any setting powder so it can blend and set properly.
• Body: both listings suggest sweeping the highlighter across the shoulders and collarbones.

Where to Buy

• US:
  • The kit is sold at Ulta Beauty ($30). It isn't listed on MOIRA's own site.
  • The four shades are sold individually on MOIRA's site: Dreamlight Highlighter 002 Honeysuckle ($10), Dreamlight Highlighter 004 Foxy Pink ($10) and Love Blur Blush ($9, choose 004 Little Gem or 008 Sweet Whisper).

Glaminatrix Cosmetics released Into the Mist, a 12-pan eyeshadow palette and the first in its new compact collection, on 26 September 2026 for A$65. The packaging is marked "Volume I". The Queensland-made brand presents the palette as a slimmer, travel-friendly compact priced below its larger palettes.

Shades and Finishes

Into the Mist is built around a cool-toned shade story. It includes the following shades:

• Silvers
• Soft lilac and violet
• Periwinkle and sky blue mattes
• A smoky taupe-grey
• A rosy-mauve glitter
• An aqua-teal sparkle
• Deep plum
• Navy shimmer
• A rich charcoal

The brand's swatches show the shades on three different skin tones.

The line-up is split as follows:

• 7 pressed eyeshadows: Afterglow, Veil, Ethereal, Haze, Frostbitten, Lost in Blue and Obscured. These are the washes, transition tones and blend-out shades.
• 5 pressed pigments: Blur, Phantom, Dusk, Shadowfall and Grey Area. These are the deeper and sparklier shades.

What's New: The Compact Collection

According to Glaminatrix, Into the Mist is the first palette in its new compact collection. It comes in a sleek, sturdy white compact with a built-in mirror, designed to fit in a makeup bag. The brand says the simpler design lets it offer Glaminatrix quality at a more accessible price. It also describes the palette as "small enough to take anywhere, with plenty of room to play."

How to Wear It

• Everyday cool wash: sweep a soft lilac or periwinkle matte across the lid. Blend a taupe-grey through the crease, then add a silver sparkle to the centre of the lid.
• Foiled halo: press the aqua-teal or rosy-mauve glitter onto the lid with a damp brush for a wet-metal finish.
• Smoky evening look: deepen the outer corner with the charcoal or deep plum, then diffuse the navy sparkle along the lash line.

According to Dior, the mirrored trunk becomes a true coiffeuse (dressing table). Its 24 drawers have gold CD-candy-shaped handles.

How It Compares with Dior's Le 30 Montaigne Calendar

This exceptional edition sits alongside the Dior "Le 30 Montaigne" Beauty Advent Calendar 2026, Dior's holiday 2026 beauty calendar. Of the two, La Malle des Rêves is the numbered, limited edition, housed in a lacquered trunk that converts into a dressing table.

SINGE Beauty has launched the Treacherous Bloom Palette, a 20-pan ocean-inspired shadow palette priced at $69 (US). It arrives alongside the new Evocative Glazed Highlighters, which come in five shades at $20 each (US). Both are available now at singebeauty.com, and there are two bundle options for the highlighters.

Treacherous Bloom: A Jellyfish-Inspired Spectrum

The palette comes in holographic jellyfish-print packaging. According to SINGE, its colour story draws on life beneath the sea, from the luminous seafoam at the surface to the inky darkness of the ocean's deepest trenches. The 20 shades run from soft neutrals and pastels (Foam, Salt, Shell) through bioluminescent brights (Plankton, Toxin, Bioluminescent) to smoky, deep-sea darks (Venom, Trench, Abyssal).

The brand says the palette contains 13 mattes (one with microshimmer), two sparkly metallics, one iridescent multichrome topper, three intense multichromes and one satin multichrome.

An important note on eye-area use

SINGE's own product label states that 18 of the 20 shades are not intended for use in the immediate eye area. Those shades are Foam, Salt, Wave, Tide, Bubble, Current, Plankton, Toxin, Bioluminescent, Medusa, Sting, Coral, Venom, Immortal, Shell, Bloom, Trench and Abyssal. Only Jelly and Gelatinous are not on that list.

SINGE's directions are to apply the product with a brush or fingertip to the desired areas of the face or body. The label caution means the 18 listed shades should be kept out of the immediate eye area, including the lash line and waterline.

Evocative Glazed Highlighters: Glassy, Layerable Finish

The new Evocative Glazed Highlighters cost $20 each and contain 7.5 g. SINGE describes them as lightweight and silky with a wet finish, easy to sheer out or layer for a more intense glassy glow on the high points of the face. The five shades are:

• Mellow Morganite – golden peach to soft pink
• Quirky Quartz – rich bronze
• Moody Moonstone – icy champagne
• Civilized Citrine – honey vanilla
• Flashy Fluorite – mauve to pink
