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

Bundles and Price

• Evocative Glazed Highlighter Build-Your-Own Bundle – any 3 shades for $53, compared with $60 bought separately (a $7 difference).
• Evocative Blush & Highlighter Bundle – one Evocative Silk Blush ($18, from the existing 8-shade line-up) plus one Glazed Highlighter for $34, compared with $38 bought separately (a $4 difference). SINGE describes the overall launch as talc-free, but the Evocative Silk Blush ingredient list does contain talc.

ICONIC London has released five Holiday 2026 gift sets in the UK, priced from £25 to £65 at Lookfantastic, with three of them also stocked at Cult Beauty.

Martine Cosmetics reopened preorders for its Totally Spies! collaboration on martinecosmetics.com, adding five new Compowder blush duo shades at €29.95 each alongside the full collection, led by the €347.40 Ultimate Spy Kit. The collection originally launched on 17 September 2026, when the Ultimate Spy Kit sold out in eight minutes. As of 7 October 2026, the brand's collection page states that pre-orders are now closed.

The Ultimate Spy Kit is Back

The Ultimate Spy Kit Collection (€347.40) bundles the entire collaboration:

• the Computer Spy Palette
• the Compowder
• the Ejecto-Net Mascara
• all three Laser Lip Duos
• the Ice Queen Perfume Trio

According to Martine Cosmetics, the set comes with an exclusive Totally Spies! collector's case, free with the set, designed to store, protect and carry every product in the collection. The kit is only available with the Forever Iconic Compowder shade, so buyers cannot swap in one of the new duos.

The Compowder: Now in 6 Shades

The Compowder recreates the spies' compact from the series. According to the brand, it conceals a highly pigmented blush duo in two textures, a matte pressed powder and a bubblegum-inspired cream-to-powder. In the Forever Iconic shade, these are a soft baby pink pressed powder and "Terrence – Deep Raspberry" cream-to-powder.

Each Compowder is €29.95. The returning Forever Iconic is joined by five new shades: Secret Weapon, So Mandy, Code Red, Sweet Agent and Sunny Mission.

The brand says the two textures are designed to be worn alone or layered together for a buildable result, and that the shades suit all skin tones.

The Rest of the Arsenal

• Computer Spy Palette (€54.95): 24 shades in velvet mattes, radiant shimmers and duochromes, organised into five colour stories:
  • bold reds for Clover
  • iconic greens for Sam
  • sunny yellows for Alex
  • vibrant pinks for Totally Girly
  • high-tech blues for WOOHP mode
• Ejecto-Net Mascara (€22.95): also listed as Mascara Ejecto-Filet and Net Blaster Mascara. Its conical brush is inspired by the show's grappling gadget. According to the brand, it grips even the shortest lashes for jet-black 3D length. Customer reviews on the brand's product page highlight the brush and say it separates lashes without clumping.
• Laser Lip Duos (€35.95 each): a velvet matte lipstick paired with its matching lip pencil, in Clover, Sam and Alex. The brand describes Clover as a bold poppy red with cool blue undertones.
• Ice Queen Perfume Trio (€109.95, or €39.95 each): three fragrances. Perfumes cannot be shipped outside the Schengen Area.
  • UnderClover: gourmand cherry and tonka
  • Mission Sam: fruity floral with musk and vanilla
  • Team Alex: coconut, mango and caramel
• WOOHP & Beverly Hills High School tumblers (€29.95 each): collector accessories that complete the collection.

When Did the Chanel Les 4 Ombres Spring 2027 Palettes Launch?

Chanel hasn't announced an official release date, and no dated retailer listings or sightings have been confirmed. The palettes are known only from leaked product and campaign images. Chanel's spring makeup collections have traditionally arrived in January–February. The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2024 were also part of a spring launch. The most recent Chanel collection we have covered is the Chanel Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection, which comes before this spring release.

NikkieTutorials' beauty brand Nimya has released Trash Until The Lash V2, a trio of strip lashes priced at €13.99 per pair and available now at nimya.com. According to Nimya, the feather-light lashes give a gentle boost in volume and length and suit both first-time lash wearers and those looking for a more dramatic look.

Three Styles, Three Moods

Instead of numbering the new shapes, Nimya has given each lash a date-based style name. These are the names of the lashes, not launch dates. All three styles are available now.

• July 16th: the biggest and most dramatic style in the range, designed for full-glam looks.
• September 10th: a fluffy cat-eye flick style, designed to lift and elongate the outer corners.
• March 31st ("Nikkie's Natural"): a soft, wispy style intended for everyday wear.

Key Details

According to Nimya, every pair has a super soft, flexible band and is light enough to put no burden on the eyes. The brand says the lashes are vegan, cruelty-free and can be re-used 10–20 times.

Nimya describes the feather-light lashes as ideal for those new to lashes or anyone looking for an understated effect. The unit carton is designed to be separated for recycling. The plastic part goes in the plastic bin and the remaining paper goes in the paper bin. Nimya notes that recycling rules differ by country or state.

How to Apply Them

Nimya's product page gives these application steps:

1. Trim to fit. Measure the strip against your lash line and trim from the outer edge.
2. Thin layer of glue. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive along the band. The brand notes that too much glue can make lashes look clumpy and weigh them down.
3. Use a mirror and tweezers. A magnifying mirror and lash tweezers help with precise placement, especially for beginners.
4. Blend and finish. Blend with mascara and add eyeliner if desired.
5. Remove gently. Peel the lashes off from the outer edge.

Nimya advises testing a small amount of lash adhesive on the skin before applying it near the eyes, to check for allergic reactions.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has launched the Dramaline Longwear Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil ($22) in 21 shades, alongside a matching Dramaline Longwear Eyeliner Sharpener ($6). Both went on sale online at Ulta on 27 September 2026, with in-store availability from 4 October 2026.

For ABH's limited-edition gifts this season, see the Anastasia Beverly Hills Holiday 2026 Sets: nine lip, eye and brow sets from $29.

A New Gel Formula

According to Anastasia Beverly Hills, the Dramaline pencil is an ultra-smooth gel formula that delivers full-pigment color in one swipe. The brand says the creamy gel texture glides on without skipping, tugging or pulling, stays blendable on application, and then sets to a waterproof, smudge-proof finish that lasts up to 12 hours. ABH describes it as combining "the effortless glide of a gel with the precision of a pencil," with a precision tip for anything from fine lines to graphic looks.

All 21 Shades

The range mixes matte, metallic and duo-chrome finishes, from everyday neutrals to jewel tones and pale, light-catching shades. Ulta describes Phantom Grape as a metallic plum and Seaglint as a duo-chrome teal with green-gold reflects. The full shade list:

1. Total Eclipse
2. Flatline
3. Chocotek
4. Phantom Grape
5. Violet Fuse
6. Aquarush
7. Deep Current
8. Velvet Voltage
9. Electric Ivy
10. Rosewire
11. Seaglint
12. Edgeleaf
13. Chrome Acid
14. Chromacrush
15. Sun
16. Spectra
17. Ghost Beam
18. Mintro
19. Lavendata
20. BPM
21. Arctic

Key Details

• Multi-use: according to the brand, the pencil can be used to tightline, smoked out, or worn as an eyeshadow base.
• Testing: ABH says the formula is dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested and non-irritating.
• Free-from: the Ulta listing states it is free of gluten, phthalates, mineral oil, alcohol, talc, sulfates, parabens and fragrance.
• Sharpenable: the pencil is designed to be sharpened for a precise point; the sharpener is sold separately.

The Matching Sharpener

ABH is selling a dedicated Dramaline Longwear Eyeliner Sharpener ($6) alongside the pencil. According to the brand, it has a durable steel blade made for the Dramaline formula, which it says carves a clean point without tugging or breaking the soft gel core. The enclosed case catches shavings, and the compact design is sized for travel.

Release Dates

According to Ulta's product pages, the pencil and sharpener launched online at Ulta on 27 September 2026, with in-store availability from 4 October 2026. A wider release across other platforms was reported for 1 October 2026. The pencil is also listed on the Anastasia Beverly Hills website.

Application Tips From the Brand

• Sharpen before use for a precise tip and optimal color payoff, according to ABH.
• Use a light hand: the brand says the creamy formula gives intense payoff with minimal pressure.
• For a wing, ABH suggests drawing a line just above the lash line from the center outward, then blending it upward and outward with an angled brush before the formula sets.
• For a smoky effect, the brand recommends blending the line with a firm eyeshadow brush.
• Layer finishes: ABH suggests layering duo-chrome shades over matte shades for a custom, shade-shifting effect.

What Makes the Makeup By Mario Holiday 2026 Value Sets Different?

• The four sets cover four categories: complexion, brushes, cream eyeshadow and lip pencils.
• Three of the four sets list a value if bought separately that is higher than the set price. The gap ranges from $15 to $43 (US).
• The complexion duo puts a cream blush and a cream bronzer in one compact, in three shade pairings.

Formula and Packaging

• Complexion duo: According to Makeup By Mario, the blush and bronzer together give a hydrated, plumped, dewy flush plus warmth and subtle contour.
• Brushes: The brushes are made with vegan synthetic fibers and 100% FSC-certified birchwood handles in matte black. They come in a nylon travel case.
• Cream shadows: The brand says both formulas are lightweight, crease-resistant, and sweat-, humidity- and water-resistant.
• Lip pencils: The brand says the full-coverage matte formula is enriched with emollients so it does not feather or bleed. It also says the pencils' Lip-Lock and Contour-Shape technologies help sculpt the lips and Cupid's bow with long-wearing definition.

How to Use

According to Makeup By Mario, Mauve can be swept across the lid and outer corner. Pink Pearl can then be pressed onto the center of the lid and inner corner.
