Makeup News & New Releases

Dior Backstage has launched Pop Glows, its limited-edition Holiday 2026 collection: three new Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Palette shades priced at $55.00 in the US and £47.00 in the UK, with matching lip shades and three gift trios. This first look covers each harmony, the matching lip products and where the Backstage Glow launch is on sale.

What's New

The collection adds three limited-edition harmonies to the Glow Maximizer line. Each palette holds four shades in a shimmer-in-gel texture. According to Dior, the pigment-in-gel formula concentrates pearlescent micro-pigments in a transparent gel base that blends into the skin without a powdery finish.

• 006 Icy Rosy Glow: Dior describes it as a harmony of frosty mint and pink shades. The Arcadia calls it a frosted mix of pink, lilac and mint in pearlescent and metallic finishes with sparkling undertones.
• 007 Glazed Honey Glow: warm peach and cool pink tones, per Dior. The Arcadia describes a pink blushlighter alongside duochrome rosy gold, peach and iridescent white highlighters. Dior's UK site lists this shade as 007 Iced Honey Glow.
• 008 Sparkly Plum Glow: fuchsia, golden and reddish-brown nuances, according to Dior.

An Italian beauty account on Instagram highlighted the arrival of 006 and 007, describing them as pink-and-mint and rose-gold-and-peach compositions.

Matching Lip Shades

Each palette is paired with a Dior Addict Lip Glow balm and Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil in a coordinating limited-edition shade:

• 113 Icy Rosy: pearlescent frosty pink; the oil is a glittery frosty pink with pink and blue opalescent shimmer
• 114 Glazed Honey: pearlescent golden pink on a peach base with golden pearl
• 115 Sparkly Plum: pearlescent fuchsia plum

According to Dior, Lip Glow contains cherry oil and shea butter and provides up to 48 hours of hydration. Lip Glow Oil contains cherry oil, and the brand says it hydrates for up to 24 hours.

Holiday Gift Trios

The Icy Rosy Trio, Glazed Honey Trio and Sparkly Plum Trio each combine a Lip Glow, a Lip Glow Oil and a Glow Maximizer Palette in the matching shade. Dior lists the trios from $42.00 in the US and from £34.00 in the UK. Dior has not specified whether the products in the trios are full size.

How to Use

Dior recommends a brush for a softer glow and fingertips for more intense radiance. Shades can be worn alone or combined, and Dior positions them as highlighter, eyeshadow, blush and bronzer for the face, eyes and décolleté.

Indie brand Bella Beauté Bar has announced the Sheer Veil Lipgloss, a range of four new lip glosses launching on 9 October 2026. The brand has revealed the shade names ahead of launch, and full product details are expected when the glosses go live on bellabeautebar.com.

What's New

The Sheer Veil Lipgloss arrives as four shades, each named after an "elixir" from a witch's apothecary in the brand's launch story:

• Wildflower Syrup: drawn from wildflowers, according to the story
• Twilight Nectar: from blossoms that open only at dusk
• Celestial Sap: collected beneath the oldest trees
• Obsidian Honey: found deep in the garden, described by the brand as "a honey as black as polished stone"

The campaign image, shot by photographer ZYEL (@zyelbeauty), shows four tall tubes with clear caps. Each is printed "SHEER VEIL" in gothic lettering, with the BB monogram on the cap. Three glosses appear in nude, mauve and rosy-brown tones, and one is black. Bella Beauté Bar has not said which tube matches which shade name. The only shade colour the brand has described is Obsidian Honey.

Key Details

The brand has not yet announced the following:

• price
• formula and ingredients
• finish details
• tube size
• any retailers beyond its own site

These details are expected when the glosses go live on 9 October.

What the Brand Says

Bella Beauté Bar started in New York in 2018 and now operates from Sarasota, Florida. The brand says it specialises in smudge-proof, waterproof and long-lasting cosmetics. According to the brand, it is Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and all of its items are paraben-free and vegan.

The brand currently quotes an order processing time of 5–10 business days before shipment for non-pre-order items. It also says international orders must add Route tracking insurance to be covered if a parcel is lost.

• Sparkle Veil Lip Gloss, such as Flux, a collaboration with Freya86_ff
• Multi-Chrome Lip Dewy Gloss in Nightmare
• Velvet Veil Lip Mud
• Dream Lip Sparkle Balm

The "Veil" naming continues from those lines and from the brand's Sparkle Veil MultiChrome Mascara Toppers. ZYEL has worked with the brand before on the Wasteland x ZYEL collection, which included a magnetic palette, pressed pigment singles and Velvet Veil Lip Muds.

Winky Lux has released Reindeer Fuel Lip Balm, a limited-edition, candy-cane-inspired tinted balm priced at $19 and available now online at Ulta Beauty and on winkylux.com. The red-and-white swirled balm has a peppermint flavour and a sheer rosy tint, and it joins the brand's line of seasonal, dessert-themed lip balms.

What's New

Reindeer Fuel is a holiday addition to the Winky Lux flavoured balm lineup, which already includes seasonal options such as Pumpkin Spice Latte and Apple Cider Donut. The design is based on the classic candy cane: a red and white swirl inside a red bullet-shaped tube with WINKY LUX printed on the side. The outer carton carries a festive "Reindeer Fuel" print.

Winky Lux describes the product as a "limited-edition holiday treat." The brand says the sheer rosy tint gives a natural, wearable red, and that the peppermint flavour leaves a cooling feel on the lips. Ulta Beauty lists the product with "New" and "Online only" badges. There are no customer reviews on the Ulta listing yet.

Key Ingredients

The brand positions the balm as a hybrid of colour and lip care. According to Winky Lux, the formula contains:

• Ceramides (five types, including Ceramide NP and EOP), which the brand says help strengthen the lip barrier and lock in moisture
• Hyaluronic acid, a humectant the brand says helps seal moisture into the lips
• Jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil, which the brand says soften the lips and help prevent moisture loss without a greasy feel
• Vitamin E, described as providing antioxidant protection
• Niacinamide and vitamin B5 (panthenol), which Winky Lux says support the skin barrier and soothe dry lips

The full ingredient list also includes menthol, along with flavour/fragrance components such as limonene and linalool.

What the Brand Says

Winky Lux describes Reindeer Fuel as clean, vegan and cruelty-free, with plastic-neutral packaging. Per the brand's Ulta listing, it is formulated without parabens, gluten, phthalates and sulfates. According to winkylux.com, the balm is made in China.

How to Use

The brand recommends swiping the balm onto the lips whenever they need hydration. Reapply throughout the day to refresh the tint and the peppermint flavour. Because the colour is sheer, it can be worn alone.

Where to Buy

• US: Winky Lux ($19.00), Ulta Beauty ($19.00, online only)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Because this is a limited-edition holiday product, stock may not be replenished once it sells out.

Kaja has launched the Heart Mode - 3 Piece Eye, Lip & Cheek Set at Ulta Beauty for $39. The holiday set contains three full-size products: an eyeshadow trio, a plumping lip gloss and a cushion blush, plus a compact design that is exclusive to this set. Ulta lists the set as new and in stock.

What's in the Set

The set has three full-size products, one each for eye, lip and cheek:

• Beauty Bento in Chocolate Dahlia (0.12 oz): a stacked eyeshadow trio in mocha tones with three shades, 01 Crushed Pearl, 02 Cool Khaki and 03 Brown Sugar. The compact has a custom Heart Mode design that is only available in this set.
• Juicy Glass Plumping Lip Gloss in Pear-Tini (0.13 fl oz): a sheer pink gloss.
• Cheeky Stamp in Saucy (0.17 fl oz): a dusty mauve liquid cushion blush with a heart-shaped applicator.

Price and Value

The set costs $39 at Ulta Beauty. Bought one by one at Kaja's regular US prices, the three products would cost $73: Beauty Bento $28, Juicy Glass Lip Gloss $18 and Cheeky Stamp $27. Ulta separately lists the kit as an "$86 value." Kaja is currently selling the Chocolate Dahlia Bento on its own site at a sale price of $19.60. The individually sold Bento does not come in the Heart Mode compact.

What the Brand Says

According to Kaja and Ulta, the Beauty Bento uses a cream-to-powder formula. The brand says its "Glitter-Tech" gives even shimmer with minimal fallout. The Bento line won a 2019 Allure Best of Beauty award.

The brand describes the Juicy Glass gloss as a 3-in-1 formula that works as a gloss, a plumper and a lip treatment. Kaja says it combines peptides, ceramides, peppermint extract and pear fruit extract, and gives a cooling sensation and a non-sticky, glassy shine.

Ulta cites a consumer study of 20 participants who used Pear-Tini:

• 100% said their lips looked plumper and more voluminous.
• 100% said their lips felt moisturized and nourished.

Kaja says Cheeky Stamp gives sheer-to-buildable, long-lasting colour. According to the brand, the formula is:

• vegan
• gluten-free
• paraben-free

Cheeky Stamp won Glamour's Reader's Choice Award in 2020. Kaja describes itself as a cruelty-free brand whose products are made in South Korea.

How to Use

• Eye: Kaja recommends applying the Bento with your fingertips. Wear one shade for a soft wash of colour, or layer all three shades for a bolder look.
• Lip: Swipe the gloss on with the doe-foot applicator. Kaja advises taking care when removing the applicator, as the formula can splash.
• Cheek:

1. Twist the top of Cheeky Stamp to reveal the heart-shaped sponge.

2. Pop open the bottom compact and press the sponge into the cushion.

3. Stamp onto the apples of your cheeks once for a natural flush, or twice for a bolder colour.

4. Blend immediately with your fingertips, a sponge or a brush.

Where to Buy

• US: Kaja sells the three products individually but not the set: Beauty Bento ($28), Juicy Glass Lip Gloss ($18) and Cheeky Stamp ($27). The set itself is at Ulta Beauty ($39).

Korean makeup brand fwee has launched the Viral K-Beauty Lip Kit, a three-piece set exclusive to Ulta Beauty, priced at $29.99 and available now. The box also carries the names "Oat Latte Lip Kit" and "Ultimate Voluming Lip Combo." It pairs fwee's Dual Lip+Liner and 3D Voluming Gloss with a mini tinted lip balm, and Ulta presents it as a holiday-season lip set.

Key Details

According to Ulta, the kit offers two looks. You can define and plump with the liner and gloss for a "warm glow," or use the mini balm alone for a "cozy, soft-matte finish."

The three products are:

• Long-Lasting Dual Coloring Stick Lip+Liner in 01 Drawn To You. This is a dual-ended stick with a liner on one side and a lipstick on the other. fwee says it glides on smoothly and sets with high adhesion for long-lasting, smudge-proof colour. The formula lists cocoa seed extract.
• 3D Voluming Gloss in A13 Dirty Cola 30%. The brand says it gives an instant volumising glow that adds dimension to the lips. The gloss comes in two pigment strengths: 30% for a sheer look and 70% for deeper colour. This kit includes the sheer 30% version. According to fwee, the formula contains seven nourishing oils, including camellia japonica seed oil, plus vitamin E.
• Blur Smoothie Tinted Lip Balm in BW02 Oat Cinnamon (0.10 oz). This mini is marked "GIFT" on the box. fwee describes it as a hydrating balm with a sheer tint and a soft, velvety blur finish. Its ingredient list includes sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, shea butter and ceramide NP.

What's Notable

The set builds on a pairing fwee already promotes. On its US site, the brand recommends layering the Lip+Liner under the 3D Voluming Gloss. It describes the liner as providing structure and "staying power" and the gloss as adding a high-shine, multidimensional finish. One of fwee's two "most recommended" combos uses the same Dirty Cola 30% gloss, though with the Lip+Liner in Chocolate Box rather than the kit's 01 Drawn To You.

All three products are also sold individually at fwee.us at these full-size prices:

• Lip+Liner: $15.30
• 3D Voluming Gloss: $14.99
• Smoothie Tinted Lip Balm: $17.00

The balm in the kit is a mini, so these prices are not directly comparable to the set price.

How to Use

fwee and Ulta give the following steps:

1. Define: outline your natural lip shape with the liner tip of the Lip+Liner.
2. Blend: fill in with the lipstick end and soften the edges for a gradient finish.
3. Add gloss: apply the 3D Voluming Gloss on top with its applicator.
4. Multi-task: fwee says you can dab the Lip+Liner colour onto your cheeks and blend it with your fingertips.

For a softer look, apply the Oat Cinnamon balm on its own.

Where to Buy

• US: fwee.us sells the products individually, not the kit: Lip+Liner ($15.30), 3D Voluming Gloss ($14.99) and Smoothie Tinted Lip Balm ($17.00, full size). The kit itself is at Ulta Beauty ($29.99, Ulta exclusive).

Indie makeup brand Fire Vixen (@firevixen.co) launched the Eternal Bond Retractable Lip Liners on 2 October 2026 at 12pm PST, priced at $12 each or $32 for the trio (US). They are the third drop of the brand's medieval-inspired Mid-Evil Collection. The three shades, Cursed, Thornspell and Mourning Rose, are designed to pair with the collection's Regal Kiss liquid lipstick (which BeautyTalkClub covered earlier) and Armor Gleam gloss.

Release Date

The Eternal Bond lip liners launched on 2 October 2026 at 12pm PST on the Fire Vixen website. They are sold individually and as a trio.

The Shades

The three shades follow the collection's dark, gothic theme:

• Cursed: a medium brown for an everyday lined lip
• Thornspell: a deep dark brown for bold definition and contrast
• Mourning Rose: a rich burgundy that pairs with berry and wine-toned lip colours

What the Brand Says

According to Fire Vixen, the formula glides on effortlessly and is pigmented, creamy, long lasting and blendable. The brand says it created the retractable liner to "bond perfectly" with its Armor Gleam gloss and Regal Kiss liquid lipstick. The pencils are retractable and bendable, so they don't need a sharpener.

The packaging is a black barrel printed with "Fire Vixen.co", sold in a black box with holographic trim and gothic "Eternal Bond" lettering.

How to Wear Them

• Define first: Trace your natural lip line with the liner, then soften the edges inward with a fingertip or lip brush.
• Glossy ombré: Line with Thornspell or Mourning Rose, blur it toward the centre, and top with Armor Gleam gloss.
• Matte and sculpted: Fill in the entire lip with Cursed as a base before applying Regal Kiss liquid lipstick. The liner gives the colour something to grip and keeps the edges crisp.

Price and Value

Each Eternal Bond lip liner costs $12 (US). On 4 October 2026, Fire Vixen priced the Eternal Bond lip liner trio, which includes all three shades, at $32 (US) on firevixenlashes.com. Buying the three liners one by one would cost $36.

How to Use

Glow Deposit suggests applying the cream to the apples of the cheeks with fingertips, a beauty blender or a foundation brush for a dewy finish, or sweeping on the powder with a fluffy brush. To layer, the brand says to blend the cream first and then lightly dust the powder over the top, which it says intensifies the colour and improves longevity. It recommends starting sheer and building gradually.

Natasha Denona has launched the limited-edition Midi Gloom Eyeshadow Palette, a 15-pan, $72 (US) extension of its Mini Gloom Eyeshadow Palette. It went on sale on 27 September 2026 at Ulta and on 30 September 2026 at natashadenona.com. According to the brand, the palette is inspired by the moody, mossy hues of fall. It features a spectrum of cloudy greens, muted earthy tones and soft dusty pinks.

Update (4 October 2026): The Midi Gloom Eyeshadow Palette is now on sale at natashadenona.com for $72. As of 7 October 2026, Ulta also lists it as in stock.

How It Compares with the Mini Gloom

According to Natasha Denona, the Midi Gloom features 15 all-new shades, so none of the Mini Gloom shades are repeated. The five original pods (Cinder, Zephyr, Moss, Verdant and Glint) do not reappear in the Midi. The brand describes the new palette as an extension of the Mini Gloom's cool-toned story rather than a larger version of it.

The Colour Story

The palette mixes green shades with neutrals and pinks. It includes sage and moss greens, a dark forest teal and an icy mint, alongside dusty beiges, taupes, oaks and mustard browns. A mint duochrome shifts to pink. The brand describes the overall range as cool-toned, combining "cool-toned greens, muted earthy neutrals and soft dusty pinks."

Formula Breakdown

The 15 pans span five finishes, with more shimmer shades than mattes:

• 6 matte shades (3 Creamy Mattes + 3 Silky Mattes) for crease work, transitions and depth
• 6 Metallics for reflective lids and inner-corner brightening
• 2 Sparkling Foiled shades for high-impact focal points
• 1 Multidimensional Duochrome with a colour-shifting finish

According to the brand, each shade delivers rich pigmentation, seamless blendability and long-lasting wear. The brand also says the palette follows its 15-palette system, in which every vertical, horizontal and diagonal row and quad is designed to create a full look.

Shades

• Moat (686CM): matte dark dusty forest green
• Whimsy (687SF): Sparkling Foiled icy mint
• Sylvan (688SKM): matte medium sage
• Knot (689CM): matte medium mustard brown
• Fate (690M): metallic light medium green brass
• Shiver (691CM): matte light dusty pastel sage
• Yearn (692M): metallic medium green taupe
• Quarry (693M): metallic dark forest teal
• Paleon (694M): metallic medium mustard gold brown
• Silt (695SKM): matte light medium dusty beige
• Tinker (696DC): duochrome light medium vibrant mint with pink shift
• Evermore (697M): metallic light dusty nude
• Memory (698SF): Sparkling Foiled medium dark icy taupe
• Root (699SKM): matte medium dark oak
• Swoon (700M): metallic medium warm oak

How to Apply

Natasha Denona recommends the following:

• Creamy Mattes and Silky Mattes: pack onto the lid with a soft, dense eyeshadow brush, then blend to diffuse. For an airbrushed finish, use swiping motions with a fluffy blending brush.
• Metallics, Sparkling Foiled and Duochrome: apply with a damp eyeshadow brush or a fingertip for maximum colour payoff and a reflective finish.

The brand says the palette is designed for looks ranging from soft everyday definition to dramatic smoky eyes.

• Helps lock in moisture and nourishes, hydrates and replenishes dry lips
• Leaves lips feeling pillowy-soft
• Smooths the look of fine lines on the lips and visibly plumps lips over time

• Vitamin E: described by the brand as an antioxidant against external stressors.

Babassu and cupuaçu are also in the formula. Rhode says the product is cruelty-free, vegan and gluten-free.

According to Rhode, the packaging is made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. The brand lists 100% recyclable FSC-certified paper and a 30% PCR HDPE #2 / 70% LDPE #4 component. Rhode also runs a mail-back recycling programme for empties, which requires at least three products per shipment.

How to Use

Rhode says the tint can be worn day or night. It can be applied in one swipe for sheer colour or layered over Peptide Lip Shape and the brand's cream blush, the rhode Pocket Blush.
