Makeup News & New Releases

The Ciele Mini Blush & Cheer Liquid Blush SPF 50+ Gift Set is a holiday trio of mineral SPF liquid blush minis, priced at $35 at Sephora US. It launched in the Sephora app on 8 October 2026, and Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its other platforms. The set includes Sugar, a soft plum shade sold only in this trio.

Updated 8 October 2026: the set is now available to buy in the Sephora app at $35; Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its website and other platforms. Because Sugar is a limited-edition shade, stock can change quickly.

What's New

The set is a holiday version of Ciele's blush & PROTECT SPF 50+ liquid blush. The box reads "blush & CHEER Mini Blush Trio," and Ciele's campaign imagery calls it the "Blush & Cheer Holiday Trio." It contains three minis:

• Sugar: a soft plum, labelled "Limited Edition Shade" and available only in this set
• Behati: one of the brand's bestselling shades
• June: also among the brand's bestsellers

Each mini holds 0.09 oz / 2.7 mL. The full-size blush & PROTECT holds 0.19 fl. oz / 5.5 mL. The trio comes in a green-and-white plaid box with a green satin ribbon handle, and the minis have green caps.

What the Brand Says

According to Sephora and Ciele, the liquid blush gives lightweight, buildable colour. Ciele describes it as a highly pigmented, hydrating formula with a radiant finish. Key claims, all attributed to the brand:

• Mineral-based, non-nano broad-spectrum SPF 50+
• Protection against four types of radiation: UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared
• Acne-safe and made without pore cloggers
• Antioxidant properties that the brand says lower the risk of cellular damage to the skin
• Allantoin, which Ciele says moisturises and soothes, and bisabolol, which it says calms skin and reduces redness

Ciele labels the formula clean, vegan and fragrance-free, with no talc, phthalates, parabens or sulfates. The set carries Sephora's "Clean at Sephora" badge.

How to Apply

Ciele's directions for the blush & PROTECT formula are:

1. Use the doe-foot applicator to place a small drop on the centre of the cheek.
2. Blend with fingers, a brush or a sponge.
3. Add more product for deeper colour.

The brand says the blush can be worn on its own for a flush of colour. For recycling, Ciele advises cutting the doe-foot off the end of the applicator, rinsing the bottle and cap, and recycling them with the box.

Key Details

The $35 price at Sephora US is the only confirmed price. Ciele has not stated a value for the set or a price per mini. The trio is not listed on Ciele's own website, so Sephora is currently the only confirmed retailer.

Dior has unveiled its Holiday 2026 makeup collection, led by the limited-edition Dior Médaillon lip balm ($95 US, £80 UK). It went on sale on dior.com in the US, UK and Poland on 8 October 2026, the UK date Beauty Calendar had reported. Dior calls the line the Holiday Look in the UK and the Holiday 2026 Edition in the US. Beauty Calendar and Instagram beauty-news accounts call it the "Cinnamon Glaze" collection after its warm honey and cinnamon tones. In Dior's own naming, 623 Cinnamon Glaze is one of the two Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes. This is a separate launch from the Dior Backstage Pop Glows Glow Maximizer palettes.

Updated 8 October 2026: the five main Holiday 2026 products are now on sale at dior.com in the US, UK and Poland, with every product page showing an add-to-bag button. The collection is limited edition, so stock can change quickly.

Products and Shades

• Dior Médaillon, 001 Crystal Pink ($95 / £80): Dior describes it as a collector sparkle lip balm designed as a "makeup jewel" to adorn your phone. It is an ultra-sparkling pink balm with a creamy texture. Dior claims 24 hours of hydration (instrumental test, 32 volunteers).
• Rouge Dior Holiday Edition ($53 / £44): A bullet case decorated with the medallion and Cannage pattern, in four shades: 232 Glazed Peach, 297 Glazed Violet, 720 Icone and 833 Cinnamon Kiss. Finishes are velvet, satin or glitter. The formula contains peony extract, pomegranate flower and shea butter, and the US page lists the lipstick as refillable.
• Diorshow 5 Couleurs ($75 / £63): Two palettes, 623 Cinnamon Glaze (warm undertones) and 926 Frosted Delights (cool undertones). Finishes are satin and pearlescent, and the formula is infused with cornflower extract. Beauty Calendar says the palettes are inspired by gingerbread and icy frosting.
• Dior Forever Glow Luminizer, 029 Frozen Médaillon ($63 / £62): A peach powder highlighter with golden pearlescent pigments. The brand says it gives a halo finish for a crystal glow.
• Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo ($55 / £46): A double-ended product pairing a transfer-proof liquid lipstick with a universal gloss. It comes in 10 "gourmand" shades, including 100 Sweet Nude.
• Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick: A pH-activated cream blush stick. Holiday shades include 172 Frosted Blue, and Beauty Calendar mentions a second, vibrant pink shade. Dior claims 12 hours of colour (instrumental test, 25 women). Price not yet confirmed.
• Dior Vernis: Holiday shades include 767 Golden Cinnamon, and Beauty Calendar reports two spicy shades in total. Price not yet confirmed.

How to Use

To attach the Médaillon, peel off the adhesive backing, place the balm on the adhesive following the template, separate it from the card and stick it to the back of your phone. Apply the balm with fingertips or a brush.

For the Sequin Liquid Duo, apply the liquid lipstick first. According to Dior, it turns ultra-glittery when you press your lips together. Layer the gloss on top for extra shine.

That morning, dior.com showed all five main products as available to buy in the US, UK and Poland; two days earlier, every product page still showed "Join the Waitlist" or "Coming Soon".

The LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection is a limited-edition trio of a mini lip balm set, a mini bronzer and blush duo and a pink pressed setting powder. The three products are sold separately, not as one boxed set, and cost $29, $20 and $22 (US). LYS Beauty announced the collection on Instagram on 7 October 2026, describing it as "limited-edition new shades, sizes, and pairings made for gifting."

Updated 8 October 2026: all three LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 products are available at lysbeauty.com, and the two mini sets are also sold online at Sephora US. The collection is limited edition, so stock can change quickly.

When Did the LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection Launch?

The LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection became available on lysbeauty.com by 7 October 2026, the day LYS Beauty announced it on Instagram, although the brand hasn't published a separate official launch-date announcement. The two mini sets reached Sephora US a little earlier: the Speak Love set in late September and the Elite Standard set by 6 October 2026.

Price

• Speak Love 3-Piece Mini Lip-Plumping Glossy Lip Balm Set: $29 at lysbeauty.com and Sephora US. The full-size Speak Love balm costs $20.
• Elite Standard 2-Piece Mini Bronze + Blush Collection: $20 at lysbeauty.com and Sephora US. Sephora sells each full-size stick for $24.
• Triple Fix Translucent Pressed Setting Powder in Sincere: $22 at lysbeauty.com.
• UK and Europe: prices not yet announced.

What's Inside

• Speak Love set: 3 mini glossy lip balms, 0.06 oz / 1.7 g each.
• Elite Standard set: 2 mini cream sticks, a No Limits Cream Bronzer Stick and a Higher Standard Cream Glow Blush Stick, 0.09 oz / 2.55 g each.
• Sincere: 1 pressed powder in a triangle compact. LYS Beauty doesn't list the size.

Shades and Products

Speak Love comes in Charismatic, Centered and Audacious. On Instagram, the brand calls Audacious "our NEW high-shine shade," and its official images include Audacious lip swatches. Our full report on the LYS Beauty Mini Speak Love Lip-Plumping Balm Set has more on the set.

Elite Standard comes in three versions: Strength + Cherished, Courage + Cherished and Harmony + Cherished. LYS Beauty describes it as "an award-winning bronzer stick formula paired with a NEW cream blush shade," which is Cherished. The brand's swatch grid shows the sticks side by side. We cover the set in detail in our post on the LYS Beauty Mini Elite Standard Bronze + Blush Collection.

Sincere is listed as "Sincere Pink – Brightening for Light to Dark Skintones." The brand's images show it on three skin tones, plus a before/after on deep skin. Sincere is the pressed formula in a pink shade, so it isn't the same product as the LYS Beauty Triple Fix Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

Where to Buy

• US: lysbeauty.com – Speak Love ($29), lysbeauty.com – Elite Standard ($20), lysbeauty.com – Sincere ($22); Sephora – Speak Love ($29), Sephora – Elite Standard ($20)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added. LYS Beauty sells mainly in the US.

Checked 8 October 2026: All three products are in stock at lysbeauty.com. Sephora US lists the two mini sets as New, Limited Edition and Online Only. Sincere is currently listed on lysbeauty.com only and wasn't found at Sephora US, Ulta or Target.

What Makes the LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection Different?

• Sincere puts the Triple Fix pressed formula in an exclusive pink shade. The brand commits a minimum $5,000 donation from net proceeds to The Pink Agenda.
• Each mini set includes a shade the brand calls new: Audacious in Speak Love and Cherished in Elite Standard.
• Both sets use mini sizes, which LYS Beauty positions for gifting, stocking stuffers and touch-ups.

Formula and Packaging

According to LYS Beauty, each product contains the following key ingredients:

• Speak Love: hyaluronic acid, shea and cupuaçu butters, chia seed oil, vitamin E and a fruit and vegetable extract blend. The brand describes it as a non-sticky lip balm.
• Elite Standard: rosehip oil, green tea extract and watermelon seed extract. The sticks have the brand's signature triangle shape, which LYS Beauty designed for moving around the cheeks and nose.
• Sincere: niacinamide, green tea extract and sodium hyaluronate. The brand says these help limit shine and blur the under-eye area.

Same-season minis from other brands include the rhode Holiday 2026 pocket pair sets. Browse all makeup releases.

OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Scandi Candy is a new shade with a pink-gummy tint and a fruity, candy-store scent. Ole Henriksen announced it on Instagram on 8 October 2026. It launches online at Sephora and Ulta Beauty in the US on 16 October 2026, with earlier access at the brand's NYC pop-up and Space NK. The price has not yet been announced.

Availability update (8 October 2026): not yet listed on olehenriksen.com, Ulta Beauty, Space NK or Sephora.

Scandi Candy joins a run of earlier shade drops we've covered, including the OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment new shades and the OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment new shade.

Release Date

Scandi Candy first appears at the Ole Henriksen NYC pop-up event on 9 and 10 October 2026, then at Space NK on 13 October 2026. The main US launch follows on 16 October 2026, online at Sephora and Ulta Beauty. In-store dates follow: Ulta Beauty on 25 October and Sephora on 30 October. The international rollout runs through 6 November 2026.

Price

Ole Henriksen has not announced a price for Scandi Candy. For context, the existing Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment shades cost $24 for 0.4 oz on olehenriksen.com (checked 8 October 2026).

The Scandi Candy Shade

The brand describes Scandi Candy as a pink-gummy tint with a fruity, candy-store scent. Ole Henriksen's before and immediately-after photos show it on three skin tones as a sheer, glossy pink finish. Existing Pout Preserve shades include Chai Drizzle, Sweet Macaron, Peach Glaze, Vanilla Bonbon, Crème Brûlée, Strawberry Sorbet, Citrus Sunshine and Cocoa Crème.

Where to Buy

Scandi Candy has no retailer product pages yet. The retailers below are named with the dates Ole Henriksen announced.

• US: Ole Henriksen NYC pop-up (9–10 October), Sephora (16 October online, 30 October in stores), Ulta Beauty (16 October online, 25 October in stores), Sephora at Kohl's (23 October)
• UK: Cult Beauty, LOOKFANTASTIC and Sephora UK (all 5 November)

• Other markets: not yet confirmed; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 8 October 2026: not yet listed on olehenriksen.com, Ulta Beauty, Space NK or Sephora.

What Makes the Scandi Candy Shade Different?

• It is a pink-gummy tint paired with a fruity, candy-store scent, which the brand presents with a stack of pink sugared candies.
• It goes on sale first at an Ole Henriksen pop-up event in New York City (9–10 October), before any retailer.
• The brand's infographic puts Scandinavian cloudberry oil at the centre of the formula story, alongside peptides and kokum butter.

Both share the same peptide lip treatment concept. What changes is the tint and the candy-store scent.

Formula and Packaging

According to Ole Henriksen, the formula is "clinically crafted" with lip-specific peptides, Scandinavian cloudberry oil and kokum butter. The brand's infographic, headlined "8 hours of plumping hydration", also credits:

• Kokum and mango seed butters with soothing, nourishing and conditioning lips.
• Acai sterols with helping to strengthen the skin barrier and boost hydration.
• Peptides with making lips look more defined and fuller.
• Cloudberry oil with providing intense moisture and visibly softening lips.

For the existing Pout Preserve formula, the brand cites a 4-week clinical study on 39 people, reporting clinically fuller-looking lips in one week. In that study, 95% agreed it rescues dry, flaky lips. Ole Henriksen says the formula does not tingle.

Scandi Candy comes in a pink squeeze tube with a doser tip, printed "I ♥ OLEHENRIKSEN". A close-up image shows its pink jelly texture.

The brand's directions are to swipe it onto lips for hydration at any time of day or night. It can also be layered over lip colour for added shine.

The e.l.f. Power Grip Gold Drip Duo is two new limited-edition products sold separately, not a boxed set: the Power Grip Gold Drip Primer and the Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray. Both are Power Grip formulas infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks, and each costs $11 in the US and £11 in the UK. e.l.f. Cosmetics officially announced the duo on 7 October 2026, saying it is available now on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop, with retailer rollouts starting 9 October.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at elfcosmetics.com and elfcosmetics.co.uk; not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target, Superdrug or Amazon UK. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The duo arrives alongside the brand's other fall and holiday launch, the e.l.f. POP Spicy Bundt Nice Tromsø Collection.

Release Date

e.l.f. officially launched the Gold Drip duo in the US on 7 October 2026 on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. The products had already appeared on the e.l.f. UK website in September 2026, ahead of the official announcement. Retailer dates for each market are listed under Where to Buy below.

Price

• US: $11 each
• UK: £11 each
• Canada, Mexico, Europe: price not yet listed

In the UK, both match the £11 price of the regular-size Power Grip Primer and Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray.

Products

• Power Grip Gold Drip Primer ($11 / £11, 30 ml): According to e.l.f., it is the same sticky gel Power Grip Primer formula, now infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks. The brand says it grips makeup for long-lasting wear and illuminates all skin tones with a radiant glow.
• Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray ($11 / £11, 80 ml): A bi-phase spray that e.l.f. says combines a moisturising oil phase with a makeup-gripping water phase. According to the brand, it sets makeup in a fine, non-sticky, non-greasy mist and leaves a gilded finish.

Where to Buy

• US: e.l.f. Cosmetics US (primer, $11) and e.l.f. Cosmetics US (spray, $11), plus the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. e.l.f. says the duo comes online to Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Walgreens and Amazon from 9 October. In-store, it is due at Walgreens on 9 October, Ulta Beauty on 11 October, Target, H-E-B and Kroger on 25 October, CVS on 1 November, and Meijer on 4 November.

What Makes the Power Grip Gold Drip Duo Different?

• Both formulas add gold micro-shimmer flecks to the existing Power Grip formats.
• The primer keeps the original sticky gel texture, and the spray uses a shake-to-activate bi-phase formula.
• e.l.f. sells the duo as a limited edition, and the Gold Drip Primer comes in a 30 ml tube versus the original's 24 ml regular size, at the same £11 UK price.

The Gold Drip Setting Spray (80 ml / 2.7 fl oz, £11) sits alongside the core e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray, which e.l.f. UK also sells at £11. The main change across both Gold Drip products is the added gold micro-shimmer.

Formula and Packaging

e.l.f. says both products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and the primer page cites Leaping Bunny and PETA certification. The brand's swatch images show the primer as a gold gel and the spray as a white bi-phase swatch. e.l.f. also shares before/after images and campaign shots of both products on a gold background.

If you want a primer in a different format, the brand also makes the e.l.f. Stay Cool Gel Primer Stick, and you can browse all new makeup releases for the season's other launches.

How to use, per e.l.f.: Start with clean, moisturised skin, let the moisturiser absorb for 1–2 minutes, then apply a pea-sized amount of primer. Shake the setting spray to activate both phases, then mist from about 6 inches away with eyes and lips closed.

When Did the Urban Decay When Sip Happens Duo Launch?

Urban Decay hasn't announced an official release date. The duo was first seen on sale at Sephora US on 7 October 2026, labelled "New Limited Edition" and "App Exclusive."

Price

The set costs $35 at Sephora US. Bought one by one, the two shades would cost $48, because the single Lip Toy sells for $24 at Sephora US. No UK, Canadian or European price has been published.

• 2 full-size Lip Toy Long-Lasting pH Hydrating Lip Oil Stains
• 1 high-stain shade, 1 low-stain shade
• 0.4 oz / 12 ml each
• Total: 2 x 12 ml = 24 ml (0.8 oz)

Shades

• Fresita: a pink with a high stain, scented like strawberry milkshake.
• Drizzled: a mauve with a low stain, scented like açai bowl.

The single Lip Toy comes in eight shades. Urban Decay's images show a swatch of each duo shade, and each shade worn on three different skin tones. One image shows a model wearing Fresita, and another shows Drizzled paired with Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Liner in Blackmail.

Checked 7 October 2026: listed at Sephora US as an app exclusive (the website directed shoppers to the Sephora app; shipping and pickup weren't offered on the website); not listed at Sephora Canada; not found at Sephora UK or Boots.

What Makes the When Sip Happens Duo Different?

• It pairs one high-stain shade with one low-stain shade, both full size.
• Each shade has its own dessert-inspired scent: strawberry milkshake and açai bowl.
• Sephora currently lists it as a Sephora app exclusive, while the single Lip Toy shades are sold on the website too.

Formula and Packaging

According to Urban Decay and Sephora, Lip Toy is a hybrid lip-caring oil that combines the non-sticky shine of a gloss with the long-lasting tint of a pH-reactive stain. The brand says it provides up to 24 hours of hydration. Its highlighted ingredients are:

• Hyaluronic acid, which the brand says hydrates.
• Ceramides, which the brand says strengthen the lip barrier.
• Vitamin E, which the brand says supports healthier-looking lips over time.

The products are listed as vegan and cruelty-free.

Sephora's page for the single Lip Toy cites a consumer study of 118 women aged 18–29 after one week of use. In that study, 93% agreed bare lips looked healthier, 91.5% said lips felt softer and moisturised, and 94.5% described them as juicy.

The set comes in a purple box with silver star sparkles and "When Sip Happens" lettering. The tubes are pink (Fresita) and berry-mauve (Drizzled), with stripe graphics.

Lip Toy is one of several pH-reactive lip oils launched this autumn, alongside the jane iredale Just Kissed pH Lip Oil. For another $35 holiday lip duo, see the BUXOM Dancing Duo Lip Kit.

How It Works

Sephora's directions are to apply the oil to clean, dry lips. Then wait two minutes for the pH reaction to develop the stain.
