Filipino beauty favourite Vice Cosmetics is about to deal a winning hand. The brand has teased the Three Strikes Eyeshadow Palette, a magnetic, stackable eyeshadow palette with a curated mix of matte and shimmer shades. It comes in three versions, so you can go from soft and sweet to dark and smoky. Here's everything we know so far, including the release date, the three products and every shade name.

Three Palettes, Three Personalities

The launch is themed like a deck of cards. The brand's graphic shows a "3" playing card with hearts, with the three palettes stacked on top of each other. Because they're stackable, collectors who pick up all three can store them as one neat tower.

✨ Miss Golden brings warm browns and gold. Shades: off duty, blowout, hot choco, icon, moofie, #llergeeffect, hey guys and diva. Icon looks like a gold shimmer and diva a bronze-brown shimmer. Both are ideal for a glowy everyday look.

🎀 Miss Cutie is the pink and berry palette. Shades: poppy, like, muse, glass, 3 strikes, baby doll, bb and femme. Glass appears to be an icy white shimmer and femme a rosy copper. The campaign model wears this palette as a soft pink eye.

🖤 Miss Smokey covers neutrals, greys and black. Shades: low key, side part, independent, gemini, cloud, night out, bolby and spot. Look out for gemini, a silvery white shimmer, and spot, a black base with silver glitter.

In the swatch image, the remaining shades in each palette look matte. That gives you plenty of transition and crease options alongside the shimmers.

How to Play Your Cards Right

• Build in layers: Sweep a light matte across the lid first, then deepen the crease with a mid-tone. Keep the darkest matte for the outer corner.
• Press on shimmers: Use a fingertip or a damp flat brush to pat shimmers like icon or femme onto the centre of the lid for the most shine.
• Brighten the inner corner: Highlight it with glass or gemini to open up the eyes.
• Go day to night: Start with a soft wash from Miss Golden. Later, smoke out the lash line with a deep shade from Miss Smokey. Nothing stops you from mixing shades across palettes.

Release Date and Launch Details

The Three Strikes Eyeshadow Palette debuts on 23 October 2026 at 7PM (Philippine time) on @pereylierge's TikTok Live. Vice Cosmetics hasn't announced a price yet. It also hasn't confirmed where the palettes will be sold after the live launch.

So far, only official teaser images have been released: a model shot, the playing-card graphic and labelled swatches. We'll update this post with pricing and full details once they're available.

UK indie favourite Arttitude Cosmetics is expanding its Metallic Shimmer Shadow Singles with four new shades: 24 Carat, Gilded, Rose Foam and Nectar. They launch on 9 October 2026 and join the brand's existing silver, Starlight. The result is a five-shade line-up of golds, pinks and silver in magnetic pans, designed so you can build your own custom palette.

Updated 13 October 2026: The four new shades launched on 9 October 2026 at £7.99 each, or £29.99 as a four-shade bundle. Starlight and the Espresso Full Collection bundle have sold out.

What's New in the Shimmer Shadow Line-Up

The four new shades split into two warm families:

• Two golds: 24 Carat and Gilded
• Two rosy pinks: Rose Foam and Nectar

Together with Starlight, an intense true silver, they make a coordinated set for anyone who loves high-impact glam. In the brand's campaign images, the model holds a clear acrylic five-pan palette filled with the gold, pink and silver shades and wears a warm gold smoky eye. The look suggests how well these shades work for evening and festive makeup.

The full collection will also be sold as a bundle containing all five shades and a magnetic eyeshadow palette. Arttitude has also asked followers whether they would want a separate bundle of only the four new shades. That option is not confirmed yet.

Why Foiled Shimmer Singles Are Worth a Look

Arttitude describes its shimmers as highly pigmented with a foiled formula that "looks like glitter, but performs like shadow." Other features include:

• Instant, intense sparkle that is designed to stay put all day
• Developed by make-up artists and suitable for all skin tones
• Magnetic iron pans that fit any universal 26mm palette, so you can mix them with shades you already own

How to Apply Metallic Shimmer Shadows

• For a softer finish: pat the shadow on with a dense flat brush.
• For maximum foil intensity: use your fingertip or a silicone applicator over a glitter primer.
• For a bolder look: layer the shimmer over a matte or cream base in a similar tone.
• For a gold smoky eye like the campaign look: blend a warm transition shade into the crease, then press gold shimmer onto the centre of the lid.

Build Your Own Magnetic Palette

To store your singles, the Empty Magnetic Acrylic Palette (with lid) holds five 26mm pans and costs £11.99. It has a snap-on lid, pin holes underneath for popping shades out, and a peel-off protective film. Buy the lidless version if you want to stack several palettes, then keep one lidded palette for the top of the stack. This setup suits make-up artists on the go as well as collectors.

Where to Buy

• US: Arttitude Cosmetics ships tracked to the US, with tariffs included at checkout. Other US retailers: Not yet confirmed.
• UK: Arttitude Cosmetics (£7.99 each; Rose Foam, Nectar, 24 Carat and Gilded in stock, Starlight sold out), the Metallic Singles Bundle of the four new shades (£29.99), plus the Empty Magnetic Acrylic Palette (£11.99). UK shipping is free on orders over £40. Other UK retailers: Not yet confirmed.
• International: Arttitude Cosmetics ships tracked to 50+ countries. EU duties are covered on orders below about £130, though some countries may add a small handling fee. International shipping is free on orders over £150. Other retailers: Not yet confirmed.

Arttitude says its launches tend to sell out fast. By 13 October 2026, Starlight and the Espresso Full Collection bundle had sold out.

Tom Ford Beauty's most luxurious lipstick line just got bigger. The Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Refill has launched in Germany with three new shades, Sloane Coral, Soho Mauve and Sublime Rose, alongside two returning favourites, Rodeo Red and the bestselling Scarlet Rouge. All five are available now at Breuninger, and a wider worldwide rollout is expected soon. Here's everything we know about the shades, prices and formula.

What's Inside the Reserve Formula

Reserve Lip Color debuts the Reserve oil blend, a complex formulated exclusively for Tom Ford. Pure pigments are paired with a specially developed gloss-enhancing technology that, according to the brand, gives dimensional, colour-rich radiance in a single swipe. The texture is described as weightless and silk-like, coating lips in moisture throughout the day.

Tom Ford's campaign claims 6 hours of fade-resistant wear, 6 hours of true colour clarity and 8 hours of moisture. The formula includes chamomile flower oil, and the brand states the formula is free from parabens, mineral oil and silicone.

A nice detail for collectors is that each shade is named after one of the house's iconic store locales.

The Shades

• Sloane Coral (new): a bright, warm coral for a sunny pop of colour.
• Soho Mauve (new): a soft, rosy mauve-brown nude that works as an everyday "my lips but better" shade.
• Sublime Rose (new): a pinky-beige rose nude that is polished, elegant and easy to wear.
• Rodeo Red (returning): a deep wine-toned blue-red with evening drama.
• Scarlet Rouge (returning bestseller): a classic bright red with timeless appeal.

The Refillable Case

The Reserve system is refillable by design, and the refills only work with the Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Case. The case is forged from a single plane of aluminium, and each refill simply clicks into place. To refill, insert the bullet into the case, rotate it gently and listen for a soft click to make sure it is secure. In the US, the case comes in Black Fluted or Gold Fluted for $125, or you can buy the case and a refill together for $175. Tom Ford Beauty has since added a croc-embossed design of the case, on sale at Breuninger: see our post on the Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Case in croc design.

How to Apply

Glide the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting at the cupid's bow for the most precise definition, then follow the contours of your lips. The bolder reds, Rodeo Red and Scarlet Rouge, benefit most from a crisp edge.

Where to Buy

• US: Tom Ford Beauty US ($50 per refill). The Reserve Lip Color Case costs $125 and the case + refill costs $175. Rodeo Red and Scarlet Rouge are listed there, but the new shades are not yet listed and US availability is not yet confirmed.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Breuninger Germany (€49 per refill, all 5 shades)

Our Verdict

If you already own a Reserve case, these refills are an easy way to expand your collection. Soho Mauve and Sublime Rose are the wearable nudes, and Sloane Coral brings the fun. Will you be adding any of the new Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color shades to your case?

Gucci Beauty has released its limited-edition Gucci Beauty Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection. It went on sale in the US on 3 October 2026, with blush, lipstick and gloss priced from $42 to $50, and launches in Japan on 4 November 2026. The cases are deep forest green, decorated with a gold, cream and red pattern known as the "Leonardo motif" and finished with polished gold accents. Japan has confirmed full pricing, and swatches of the blush, lipsticks, cushion and gloss have been published.

What's in the Holiday 2026 Collection

The line-up reissues Gucci's core products in limited-edition festive packaging. Some shades are existing favourites given a seasonal refresh. The most notable is 509 Gucci Rosso Ancora, the signature deep red lipstick that debuted under Creative Director Sabato De Sarno.

• Cushion de Beauté Foundation: comes in a green holiday compact. It's the same lightweight, refillable cushion with SPF 20 PA++, glycerine and black rose oil.

• Rouge à Lèvres Mat Lipstick: Gucci's matte formula with rich pigments and oils, housed in a gold-toned tube with a green cap. The Leonardo motif decorates both the case and the cap. Shades are 509 Gucci Rosso Ancora (red), 217 Valeria Rose and 122 Eliza Ginger (described by the brand as a glowing ember). The brand says the formula is smudge-resistant and long-wearing.
• Gloss à Lèvres: comes in a patterned pink and gold holiday tube with a slanted precision applicator. The gloss contains menthol, ginger and cayenne pepper (capsicum) extracts and hyaluronic acid. According to Gucci, it plumps, blurs lip lines and keeps lips hydrated for up to 8 hours. The holiday shade 135 Lola Latte is a soft milk-tea nude with a high-shine finish.

Holiday Fragrance Gift Sets

Gucci's fragrances are also available as holiday coffrets in the same deep-green boxes:

• Gucci Guilty: full-size bottle, mini and a shower gel/balm tube.
• Gucci Flora: full-size bottle, mini and a body lotion tube.
• Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum Gift Set (Japan): 50 ml Eau de Parfum plus 50 ml Body Lotion. The scent is a tuberose-and-jasmine floral, and the set comes in limited holiday packaging.

Prices include tax. In the US, the blush, lipsticks and gloss range from $42 to $50. Individual US prices have not been announced.

How to Wear It

For a full Gucci holiday look:

1. Start with the Cushion de Beauté as the base.
2. Sweep Blush de Beauté in 14 Poppy Red across the cheekbones.
3. Finish with 509 Gucci Rosso Ancora for a classic red lip.

Could this BE any cuter? The FRIENDS™ x SHEGLAM makeup collection brings Monica's purple door, the Central Perk sofa and a very famous lobster to your vanity. It launched in late September 2026, it's on sale now at SHEGLAM US, and individual items cost $5.29 to $21.99. Here's what's inside the collection, along with the shades and prices.

The Products and Shades

SHEGLAM's brief was simple: "Transport your makeup routine to Apartment 20." Each piece in the collection references the show in a different way.

• Purple Door Eyeshadow Palette ($10.19, 8 g): The packaging copies Monica's purple door, yellow peephole frame included. Its eight shades mix smooth pearlescent shimmers with buttery mattes: Turkey Hat, Prom, Apt 20, Unagi, Lasagna, Melon Drink, Bagpipes and Leather Pants.
• Take A Seat Velvet Sofa Blush ($7.19, 5 g): A peachy blush inspired by Central Perk's orange sofa, in a compact with a tufted upholstery pattern on the lid. It has a silky, velvety feel and a soft-focus finish.
• Central Perk Blurring Lip Tint Set ($21.99, 4 x 3.5 ml): Four coffee-scented tints in Latte, Herbal Tea, Decaf and Espresso. They feel lightweight and leave a soft, blurred finish. The set comes in a box shaped like the Central Perk storefront.
• Manhattan Mood Kohl Eyeliner ($5.29 each, 0.25 g): Each liner has a built-in sharpener. Choose from The Stylish One (blue), The Musical One or The Chef One.
• My Lobster Dual-Ended Lip Liner + Lipstick Duo ($7.79 each): Each duo has a lipstick (0.8 g) at one end and a liner (0.2 g) at the other, joined by a lobster-shaped middle. The four shades are named after couples: Monica + Chandler, Ross + Rachel, Phoebe + Mike and Joey + Alex. Alex is a nod to the Joey spin-off.

The Full Collection Set

Collectors can buy the Full Collection Set ($108.39). It includes the palette, all three eyeliners, the blush, all four lip duos and the four-tint set. Everything arrives in a lilac presentation box designed like Monica's door. It also comes with a free Peephole Mini Picture Frame printed with "Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're gonna love it!"

How to Wear It

• Easy daytime look: Sweep a soft matte from the Purple Door palette across the lid. Tap the Velvet Sofa blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upward. Finish with the Latte or Decaf tint.
• Blurred lips: Dab a lip tint onto the centre of your lips and press it outwards with your fingertip for a diffused, just-had-coffee flush.
• Defined lips: Line your lips with the liner end of a My Lobster duo, then fill in with the lipstick end for a crisp shape that lasts longer.
• Pop of colour: Smudge The Stylish One along your lower lash line for a playful blue accent.

Where to Buy

• US: SHEGLAM US ($108.39 full set). Individual products:

- Purple Door Palette ($10.19)

- Velvet Sofa Blush ($7.19)

- Central Perk Lip Tint Set ($21.99)

Pixi Beauty's 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar is a limited-edition holiday set of 12 skincare, makeup and tool items, including Glow Tonic. It costs $40 (US), £40 (UK) and CA$64 (Canada) on Pixi's official sites and went on sale on 1 October 2026. Founder and makeup artist Petra Strand curated the edit, which returns for Holiday 2026 after the 2025 calendar sold out.

Release Date

The 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar was released on 1 October 2026 as part of Pixi's Holiday 2026 offering. It follows the 2025 edition, which sold out.

Price

• US: $40
• UK: £40
• Canada: CA$64

In the US, the calendar costs $40. Buying the 10 items Pixi sells individually at the same size would cost $92+ at current pixibeauty.com prices:

• Liquid Fairy Lights: $15
• Hydrating Milky Mist (Petite Size): $8

• +Hydra LipTreat: $10
• Sheer Cheek Gel: $15
• Brow Tamer: $10
• DetoxifEYE: $3

That total leaves out the 15 ml Glow Tonic and the Petite Blending Brush, because neither is sold separately in the US.

What's Inside

The calendar holds 12 items behind numbered doors. Pixi describes them as a mix of eye, lip, cheek, complexion and skincare products in full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats:

• 5 liquids and gels measured in ml: 15 + 30 + 50 + 15 + 4.5 ml = 114.5 ml
• 3 products measured in grams: 5 + 4.8 + 12.7 g = 22.5 g
• 10 cleansing cloths
• 2 pairs of hydrogel patches (1 eye, 1 lip)
• 1 makeup brush

The 12-door format matches other 12-day calendars this season, such as the EVE LOM Twelve Day Advent Calendar 2026 and the $69 Ulta Beauty 12 Days To Glass Skin Advent Calendar.

• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the 12 Days of Glow Discovery Different?

• It is a 12-day countdown rather than the more common 24-day format.
• It mixes full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats, from a 50 ml GradualGlow to single pairs of hydrogel patches.
• Founder Petra Strand curated it and introduces each product in Pixi's "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" social series.

Packaging and Key Ingredients

According to Pixi, the design was inspired by its boutiques in London and LA. The mint-green box is styled as a Pixi shop front, with pink butterfly wings, gold sparkle details, a mint satin ribbon and the words "12 Days of Glow Discovery". It opens like a book to show a pink "shop interior" with shelves labelled PIXI, TONIC, GLOW, MAKEUP and LIPS, plus numbered doors.

According to Pixi, Glow Tonic combines 5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with aloe vera and ginseng. Pixi says GradualGlow uses 2.5% DHA with coconut oil and hyaluronic acid, and DetoxifEYE contains caffeine and gold. Petra says she wanted to curate her favourites "to brighten, hydrate and bring a little radiance to the season". The set's skincare items sit alongside other launches on our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases page.

How to Use

Pixi suggests opening one product a day or using the items together to build a skincare and makeup routine, following each product's own directions. For pregnancy or breastfeeding, Pixi recommends consulting a physician about the ingredient lists, which it publishes on its product pages.

In the "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" series, Petra introduces each product, explains why she chose it and shares a makeup-artist tip.

• Wear of up to 8 hours, based on clinical and instrumental testing
• Ophthalmological testing, including on sensitive eyes, and suitability for contact lens wearers

The Permabrass Illuminating Powder is described in the leaked material as a champagne glow with a hint of rose. The caption gives the shade as "02 All Permabrass", while earlier reports named it "No.02 Or Permabrass", so the final name is still to be confirmed. The images show the powder embossed with a parade of Hermès charms:

• an anchor chain link, a riding boot and a Kelly-style bag
• a cadenas padlock, a horse head, a saddle and a horseshoe
• an H buckle and a round "HERMÈS PARIS" medallion

23 Beige Doblis Rouge Hermès Lipstick

23 Beige Doblis is described as a matte, warm deep rose. The shade isn't new: it is already part of the permanent Rouge Hermès matte lipstick range at Harrods. The holiday version differs in its limited-edition white, black and gold case, and its bullet is engraved with an H motif.

Hermès has previously added limited-edition shades to the Rouge Hermès Matte Lipstick line, as in the Hermès Beauty Spring - Summer 2024 Collection. An engraved bullet also featured on the Hermès Rouge à Lèvres Matte Rouge Amazon 75.

50 Nail Colour (Reported as "All Rose")

The images show shade 50 in the signature Les Mains Hermès bottle with its gold band. The caption writes the shade as "All Rose" and describes it as a pink with a subtle metallic sheen and hints of silver.

What Makes the Hermès Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection Different?

• The Permabrass highlighter is embossed with nine Hermès motifs, from a Kelly-style bag to a cadenas padlock.
• 23 Beige Doblis is an existing permanent shade, reissued in a limited-edition white, black and gold case with an H-engraved bullet.
• The palette, highlighter and lipstick share a white, black and gold colour scheme, with gold medallions on both compacts.

Packaging and Formula Details

The highlighter compact has a white lacquered lid with a gold engraved medallion and a black outer ring around the pan. For context only, an earlier limited-edition Permabrass powder was a fine, melting formula with golden mother-of-pearl. Hermès hasn't said whether the new highlighter uses the same formula.
