Food brands have teamed up on lip products before. The rhode x Krispy Kreme Peptide Lip Treatment is another food-brand collaboration. This season's Marin Skincare Cider Donut Lip Treatment is also scented after a food.

What Makes the iota / Chiquita Banana Lip Treatment Different?

• Chiquita's first beauty product: iota calls it 80 years in the making. Ulta calls it Chiquita's "first and only beauty product."
• Extract from the brand's own fruit: iota says the extract comes from actual Chiquita bananas. Ulta says they are hand-harvested on Chiquita farms in Central and South America.
• Blue Sticker branding: Chiquita has hand-applied its Blue Sticker as a quality mark since 1963. iota says the sticker now appears on a lip treatment, and Ulta describes the product as "held to the Blue Sticker standard."

Formula and Packaging

Key ingredients (per iota and Ulta):

• Chiquita Banana fruit extract, which Ulta says brings vitamins B5 and E, antioxidants and natural humectants
• Pro-collagen peptides, which Ulta says help support collagen production and visibly improve lip texture over time
• Vegan plant stem cell-derived ingredients, which iota says condition lips
• Hyaluronic acid, which the brand says helps attract moisture
• Prebiotics and postbiotics, which iota describes as designed for balanced, resilient lips

• Claims: iota says the formula softens, smooths and hydrates dry-feeling lips without stickiness. Ulta lists it as paraben-free and phthalate-free.
• Format: a 0.5 fl oz / 15 ml tube. Product images show a gold-tipped applicator. The clear gloss has what iota calls a "soft, creamy natural banana scent, the fruit at its exact right day."

Fall 2026 has brought other peptide lip launches, including the OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Scandi Candy Peptide Lip Treatment.

How to Use

iota says to apply it as needed throughout the day for extra hydration. Because it's clear, the brand says it can be worn alone or layered over lip colour for added shine.

MOIRA's Blur Lip Contour Liner is a new creamy, soft-focus matte lip liner with a dome-shaped tip, sold in 12 shades. It costs $7 per shade at moirabeauty.com, where it was listed on 8 October 2026. MOIRA announced it on Instagram the next day, describing the shades as "made to line, shape and softly define."

Updated 9 October 2026: all 12 shades are in stock at moirabeauty.com. It was not found at Ulta Beauty, CVS or Walmart online.

The liner follows two other MOIRA autumn 2026 launches: the MOIRA Dreamlight Glow & Blur Blush Kit and the Moira Chroma Light Shadow 6 New Shades.

When Did the MOIRA Blur Lip Contour Liner Launch?

MOIRA hasn't published a separate official release date. The Blur Lip Contour Liner appeared on moirabeauty.com on 8 October 2026 under New Arrivals. MOIRA announced it on Instagram on 9 October 2026, saying the "new lip lineup just dropped."

Price

The Blur Lip Contour Liner costs $7.00 in the US for each of the 12 shades. MOIRA hasn't announced UK or other international prices.

For other recent launches in the same category, see the Ravie Beauty Soft Definition Longwear Lip Liner, or browse all makeup releases.

What Makes the Blur Lip Contour Liner Different?

• Dome-shaped tip: MOIRA says the tip follows the lip's natural curves for lining, shaping and contouring.
• Soft-focus effect: according to MOIRA, the formula diffuses harsh edges as you apply it, giving a blurred, fuller-looking lip.
• Multi-use format: MOIRA positions it for lining, contouring or filling in the whole lip, with buildable colour.

How It Compares with MOIRA's Other Lip Liners

The Blur Lip Contour Liner is a separate product from MOIRA's existing liners:

• Lip Chic Liner: $5, 8 shades, launched October 2025
• Lip Appeal Plumping Liner: $8, 12 shades
• Lip Appeal Waterproof Liner: $8, 24 shades

The Blur name also appears on MOIRA's Love Blur Blush ($9, 12 shades).

Formula and Packaging

• Ingredients: MOIRA lists Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1. The brand says the oil helps nourish and condition lips, and that Vitamin E helps protect against dryness.
• Wear: MOIRA describes a creamy, smooth-gliding texture with a comfortable matte finish. It says the formula is long-wearing and resists smudging and feathering.
• Free-from claims: MOIRA says the liner is vegan and free from parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, gluten and fragrance.
• Format: a 0.5 g liner with a dome-shaped tip.

How to Use It

MOIRA suggests choosing a shade close to or slightly deeper than your natural lip colour. Trace the lip line with the dome tip, slightly overlining the cupid's bow and the centre of the lower lip. Then soften the edges and wear it alone or under a lip colour.

GRWM Cosmetics' Face Card Customizable 6-Pan Palette Puffy Case now comes in two new colours, Viola and Silk, at PHP 649 each on the brand's site. They went on sale on 9 October 2026 at 5 PM (Philippine time), after the Philippine makeup brand announced the shades on Instagram on 5 October.

Updated 9 October 2026: Viola and Silk are now on sale at PHP 649 each, and we've added the brand's official Silk packshot and its updated colour-range image.

What's New

The Viola and Silk shades join the puffy case line, which previously came in limited-edition Rosé (pink), Saffron (burgundy) and Midnight (black). Several of the brand's launch images show those existing colours and an overview of the full range, not the new shades.

• Viola is a soft lavender-lilac.
• Silk is a pearly ivory-white.

The brand's Instagram post describes the new colours as "made to switch, customize, and make your Face Card palette feel a little more you."

Key Details

The design is unchanged from the earlier colours. Official images show a semi-glossy puffy PU leather exterior with a quilted diamond pattern, a gold-tone frame and a gold "g" logo plaque on the lid. Inside the case are:

• a full-size mirror
• magnetic slots for the pans
• two slots with removable protective covers
• a pinhole for pan removal and a built-in insert ejector pin

The case holds 6 regular-size pans, 24 mini pans, 12 half-size pans, or a mix of Face Card pans. It comes empty. Blush, bronzer, highlighter, eyeshadow and other Face Card pans are sold separately. According to GRWM Cosmetics, the case's strong magnetic slots let users swap pans "to suit your mood or occasion."

How to Use It

The brand describes a three-step setup:

1. Choose your shades from the GRWM Cosmetics Face Card collection.
2. Press each pan onto the magnetic base and arrange them as you like.
3. To change a pan, use the GRWM Pan Ejector tool or the built-in ejector pin to lift it out, then drop in the replacement.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Viola and Silk cost PHP 649 each, the same as the existing limited-edition 6-pan puffy cases in Rosé, Saffron and Midnight. The brand's updated range image now lists seven case colours: Gold, Midnight, Rose Gold, Saffron, Rose, Silk and Viola, with Silk and Viola marked as new.

Shoppers who want the case already filled can buy the brand's Face Card 6-Pan Curated Palette, which includes the case and pans, for PHP 1,999.

Release Date

Viola and Silk went on sale on 9 October 2026 at 5 PM Philippine time on the GRWM Cosmetics website. The announcement does not name any other retailers.

Where to Buy

• Philippines: GRWM Cosmetics (Viola and Silk, PHP 649 each)
• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Checked 9 October 2026: Viola and Silk in stock on the GRWM Cosmetics site.

Natasha Denona's three Holiday 2026 limited-edition sets, the Xenon Pouch ($64), Mini Eye Sculpt Set ($30) and HY-GLOSS Lip Set ($30), are on sale now. They launched at Sephora US and Sephora Canada on 9 October 2026, and natashadenona.com listed them from 8 October, ahead of the 11 October date the brand had announced for its own site. The sets were first reported by German beauty news site Glam Junkies, and the brand has now confirmed them on its own Instagram. Sephora lists all three as "New, Limited Edition, Online Only."

Updated 9 October 2026: the sets are now on sale at natashadenona.com, Sephora US and Sephora Canada, with direct links to the brand's product pages below.

Also new from the brand this season: the Natasha Denona Mini Hy-Glam Concealer, a $19 travel size of the HY-GLAM Concealer at Sephora US.

The Products

Xenon Pouch Makeup Gift Set ($64 / C$94)

Natasha Denona says the set's three products are brand new and inspired by her sultry smokey eye looks. They come in a silver nylon pouch with a metallic, puffer-style finish:

• Baby Xenon Eyeshadow Palette (2.4 g) with three shades: Névé (526SM), a sparkling metallic peony pink; Snirt (525CM), a matte medium grey; and Night Sky (523M), a metallic black
• Mini Xenon Powder Blush in Pretty Please (5.5 g)
• Xenon Sparkling Lip Gloss in Galaxia (7.5 ml), a sheer gloss with multicoloured sparkles

Mini Eye Sculpt Set ($30 / C$44)

Sephora lists this set as the Mini Eye Sculpt Eyeshadow Palette & Eye Crayon Pencil Duo Makeup Gift Set. It pairs the all-matte Mini Eye Sculpt Eyeshadow Palette (4 g), which the brand calls its bestselling mini palette, with a Mini Macro Tech Eye Crayon (0.7 g) in Wooden Brown, a deep brown. Natasha Denona describes the crayon as a "new and improved" reformulation.

The two pieces come in a clear zip pouch with black-and-white striped trim and an ND charm. The set totals 4.7 g / 0.16 oz.

HY-GLOSS Lip Set ($30 / C$44)

Sephora calls this set the HY-GLOSS Lip Gloss Duo Gift Set. It pairs two full-size products in existing shades: the HY-GLOSS Tinted Lip Gloss Balm (7 ml) and the I Need a Nude Lip Crayon (1.2 g). The set totals 8.2 g / 0.25 oz.

• Lush Lila: Lush Lila (pink-lavender) gloss with the NP1 Natasha crayon (light neutral pink), in a pouch with lilac trim
• Cleo: Cleo (light brown-pink) gloss with the NP 0.5 Cleo crayon (neutral pink), in a pouch with pink-brown trim

According to Natasha Denona, the gloss balm hydrates, smooths and conditions the lips, with a buttery, non-sticky glossy finish. The brand describes the sharpenable crayon as creamy-matte and long-wearing.

What's New

• Wooden Brown is a new Macro Tech Eye Crayon shade.
• Pretty Please blush and Galaxia gloss are new and exclusive to the Xenon Pouch.
• All three Baby Xenon shades appear in the Midi Xenon palette but not in the Mini Xenon palette. This makes the Baby palette a smaller way to get Névé, Snirt and Night Sky.
• The HY-GLOSS Lip Set uses existing shades only.

Value

According to Sephora, the Mini Eye Sculpt Set costs $30 compared with a $50 value if the items were bought separately. The HY-GLOSS Lip Set costs $30 compared with a $55 value. Sephora lists no value for the Xenon Pouch.

Where to Buy

• Precision Powder Puff (£11): a diamond-shaped velvet puff that VIEVE says is designed for hard-to-reach areas. It comes with a reusable pouch.
• 301 Double-Ended Set & Sculpt Brush with Travel Case (£33): a larger rounded end for powder and a smaller tapered end for around the eyes and nose. It comes in a silicone travel case.

VIEVE's images show the powder as a white swatch and include before/after photos on two models. They also include ingredient and application infographics and a family shot with the setting spray.

What the Brand Says

These figures come from VIEVE's own user trial of 80 women.

Immediately after use:

• 95% said it feels comfortable and not drying.
• 94% said it applies seamlessly over makeup with a soft-focus finish.
• 91% said it is invisible on the skin.

After two weeks of use:

• 95% said it immediately reduces shine.
• 93% said it sets makeup while controlling shine through the day.
• 90% said it does not settle into fine lines.

How to Use

VIEVE recommends dusting it lightly all over with a large fluffy brush for a natural finish. You can also press it into the skin with a puff or sponge where you want extra shine control. Founder Jamie Genevieve suggests applying the powder first and finishing with Invisiveil Setting Spray for maximum hold.
