Orebella announced Cashmere Milk on Instagram on 3 November 2026 ("the wait is over. meet CASHMERE MILK"), and it went on sale the same day at Ulta Beauty. Ulta labels the scent "New" and "Only at Ulta".

Price

In the US, Orebella Cashmere Milk Parfum costs $35 for the 0.33 oz (10 mL) travel spray and $100 for the 3.4 oz (100 mL) bottle at Ulta Beauty. Those prices match the other Orebella parfums at Ulta. UK and European prices have not been announced.

• Base: Cedarwood, Cashmere Woods, Soft Oak, Tonka Bean
• Aromatherapy essential oils: cedarwood, cinnamon bark, bergamot

What Does Orebella Cashmere Milk Smell Like?

According to the official pyramid, the scent opens on creamy milk and bergamot. The heart combines jasmine milk, vanilla caviar and amber, and the base is made of cedarwood, cashmere woods, soft oak and tonka bean. Ulta describes it as "a woody amber cocoon of elevated comfort". Orebella says it was inspired by "the worn softness of a favorite cashmere sweater and the quiet hush of a first snowfall", with a result that is "light and warm with a second-skin closeness". The campaign images show Bella Hadid in a cream knit in the snow, holding the bottle.

Where to Buy

• US: Ulta Beauty, 0.33 oz / 10 mL ($35); Ulta Beauty, 3.4 oz / 100 mL ($100). Orebella's own site does not yet sell the scent. It currently offers only a complimentary Cashmere Milk sample as a gift with purchase.

What Makes the Orebella Cashmere Milk Parfum Different?

• It is the seventh Orebella Skin Parfum. It joins Jasmine Blues, Window2Soul, Blooming Fire, Eternal Roots, Salted Muse and Nightcap, according to Ulta's lineup image.
• It is the only scent in that lineup filed under the Woody Amber family, with milk accords in both the top and the heart.
• The bi-phase oil formula has to be shaken before use. Ulta notes that the juice can deepen in colour over time with light and air, because the scent uses plant-based notes and essential oils. Orebella says this doesn't affect the scent.

Shoppers who like cosy cashmere-themed scents may also want to compare it with the PHLUR Cashmere Frost Body Mist. For more launches from famous names, see our celebrity fragrance coverage.

Formula and Packaging

• Formula: Orebella says the scent uses its "Ôrelixir" base. That base contains hydrating snow mushroom (tremella) and a five-oil blend of sweet almond, shea, camellia (tsubaki), olive and jojoba oils. The brand describes the formula as hydrating and alcohol-free. According to Orebella, it is dermatologist tested and suitable for sensitive skin. Ulta badges it as clean, cruelty free and vegan, with sustainable packaging.
• Packaging: The scent comes in a white faceted, geode-shaped bottle with a gold faceted cap and gold gradient juice, packed in a gold box. The 100 mL bottle fits Orebella's geode-inspired perfume stand, and the 10 mL is a slim travel spray with a gold cap. Orebella donates 1% of domestic net sales to charity.

How to use: Ulta says to shake the bottle to activate the oil-based formula, then spray directly onto skin.

Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist Dry Shampoo is a new non-aerosol, two-phase dry shampoo for oily hair and scalp, built on an acidic glycolipids complex. It costs $32 for 100 ml at redken.com and Ulta Beauty, where it was on sale in the US by 10 October 2026. It joins Redken's Acidic range alongside the Acidic Bonding Concentrate line as a dry shampoo in mist form.

Updated 10 October 2026: in stock at $32 at redken.com and Ulta Beauty (US); not yet listed on Redken's UK, Canadian or French sites.

When Did the Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist Launch?

Redken hasn't announced an official release date. The first reviews appeared on Ulta Beauty's listing on 29 September 2026. Many of them are marked as received in exchange for an honest review. By 10 October 2026 the dry shampoo was in stock at both redken.com and Ulta Beauty in the US, and Ulta marks it as New. At that point Ulta showed 98 reviews with a 4.6-star average, and redken.com showed no reviews yet.

Price

In the US, the 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz bottle costs $32.00 at both redken.com and Ulta Beauty. For comparison within the same range, the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo costs $37 for 300 ml at redken.com. No UK, Canadian or European pricing has been published yet.

Key Details

According to Redken, the mist combines glycolipids with a 12% Cleansing Complex. The brand says it absorbs, dries quickly and dissolves up to 4 days of excess oil, buildup and odour. Ulta words the same claim as "absorbs 100 hours of excess oil and buildup."

Redken lists these benefits:

• Absorbs up to 4 days of excess oil buildup in one use
• An acidic pH formula that leaves hair and scalp feeling clean
• Refreshes styles and adds volume and texture
• No white cast or powdery residue
• 89% say hair smells clean 48 hours after one use (brand claim)

Redken says the formula suits all hair types, including fine, thick, colour-treated and textured hair. It also describes the scent as light, clean and free of heavy fragrances. The scent profile shown in its product images is rose, citrus and jasmine.

Where to Buy

• US: Redken ($32), Ulta Beauty ($32, pickup and delivery)
• UK: Not yet confirmed (not on redken.co.uk or Lookfantastic)
• International: Not yet confirmed (not on Redken Canada or Redken's French site)
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at redken.com ($32) and Ulta Beauty ($32); not listed at redken.co.uk, Lookfantastic, Redken Canada or Redken France.

What Makes the Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist Different?

• Non-aerosol mist format. It is a liquid mist with no propellants, rather than a pressurised powder spray.
• Two-phase formula with mixing beads. You shake it to activate it, and Redken's product images show stainless steel beads inside that mix the formula and help prevent the nozzle from clogging.
• Acidic positioning. It carries Redken's Acidic pH Technology into a dry shampoo, matching the Acidic Bonding Concentrate shampoo, conditioner, 5-Min Liquid Mask and Leave-In Treatment.

It arrived around the same time as the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Frosted Fig Dry Shampoo, a limited seasonal dry shampoo. Redken's launch is a non-aerosol mist rather than a seasonal scent. More launches are in our hair care section.

Formula and Packaging

• Acidic Cleansing Mist Dry Shampoo: According to Redken, its Acidic Glycolipids Complex breaks down oil without disrupting the scalp's hydration. The brand describes the formula as vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients, and 94.83% biodegradable (per OECD 301 or equivalent tests). The bottle is made with 94% recycled plastic, and Redken says it is 80% less pack-intensive than an aerosol.

How to Use

Redken says to shake the bottle well for at least 5 seconds, then section dry hair and spray the roots. Wait 30 seconds for it to dry before massaging, brushing or combing it through.

What the Brand Says

Redken ambassador Blake Reed Evans says: "I love Acidic Cleansing Mist because it gives the hair that true clean feeling, like it's actually been freshly washed. The non-aerosol mist makes it easy to refresh the hair without that heavy, powdery feel you can get from a traditional dry shampoo."

ColourPop's Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo is a dual-ended lip product pairing a peel-off lip stain with a Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil gloss. It comes in six shades at $15 each. It went on sale at colourpop.com on 1 October 2026 and is now also at Ulta Beauty in the US, where it is marked New and has no reviews yet.

Updated 10 October 2026: all six shades are in stock at colourpop.com and Ulta Beauty (US).

It's one of several ColourPop autumn 2026 launches. The others include the ColourPop Fallen Collection, released 29 September with a 15-pan eyeshadow palette, Cloud Whip Lip & Cheek Puddings and lip liners. There is also the ColourPop Disney A Very Mickey Christmas collection, launched 8 October.

When Did the ColourPop Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo Launch?

We found no official release date from ColourPop. The six shades were first on sale at colourpop.com on 1 October 2026. On 10 October 2026, all six were listed at Ulta Beauty (US). The "available now at Ulta" announcement circulating on Instagram came from a repost account, not from ColourPop. This is not a brand-new launch, but a wider retail rollout of a product ColourPop listed nine days earlier.

Price

• Single shade: $15 at colourpop.com and Ulta Beauty (US)
• Trio sets: $42 each at colourpop.com. Three singles would be $45.
• Full Collection: $84 at colourpop.com. Six singles would be $90.

For comparison, the KISS NEW YORK Line & Fill Lip Stain launched the same week. It is also a dual-ended lip stain, a marker priced at $5.99 in 10 shades.

What's Inside

ColourPop sells three Super Stain sets on its site. Each one contains full stain-and-gloss duos. ColourPop doesn't state a size for each duo.

• Stuck on U ($42): 3 duos, called "the everyday trio": Run It Back, The Valley, Latte Hour
• Lip Locked ($42): 3 duos: Kitschy, Sweet Mood, Hard to Forget
• Super Stain Full Collection ($84): all 6 duos

Together, the two trios make up the Full Collection.

Shades

ColourPop lists each duo by its stain and gloss shades:

1. Sweet Mood: cool nude stain, creamy nude gloss
2. Run It Back: warm nude stain, warm pinky nude gloss
3. The Valley: neutral tan stain, pinky mauve gloss
4. Latte Hour: warm medium brown stain, cool bronze gloss with pink shimmer
5. Hard to Forget: neutral berry stain, cool-toned pink gloss
6. Kitschy: rich mauve stain, sheer pink gloss with rainbow shimmer

ColourPop's images show two kinds of swatches. Each shade appears with a swatch card of its stain and gloss. There are also lip swatches on several skin tones.

Where to Buy

• US: colourpop.com sells Sweet Mood, Run It Back, The Valley, Latte Hour, Hard to Forget and Kitschy at $15 each. It also sells Stuck on U ($42), Lip Locked ($42) and the Super Stain Full Collection ($84). The duos are also at Ulta Beauty ($15, all six shades). Browse more Ulta launches.
• UK: No UK retailer found. colourpop.com ships to the UK, with prices in USD.
• International: No retailer listing found outside the US. colourpop.com ships to most countries, including Canada, Australia and Europe (Poland, Germany, France and others).
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at colourpop.com (all singles and sets) and at Ulta Beauty US (all six shades, "Add to bag").

What Makes the Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo Different?

• ColourPop calls it its "first 2-in-1 peel-off lip stain and gloss duo."
• Each duo has two contrasting shades: a stain colour and a separately described gloss colour. In Kitschy, for example, the stain is rich mauve and the gloss is sheer pink with rainbow shimmer.
• ColourPop presents it as "six duos, two looks each." The stain can be worn as a stained lip liner or all over the lips.

Formula and Packaging

• Stain end: a peel-off lip stain with a precision applicator tip, which ColourPop says gives a clean, exact line. According to the brand, the longer the stain stays on before peeling, the deeper the colour.
• Gloss end: a glassy gloss made with Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil. The brand says it leaves lips feeling hydrated and comfortable rather than sticky or heavy.
• Panel claims: ColourPop surveyed 16 people and measured immediate results. 100% said it gave buildable colour with extra layers. 94% said it peeled off cleanly and left even colour. 100% said it felt comfortable and hydrating. It's a small panel, and these are the brand's own figures.

ColourPop's directions are to apply the stain to dry, bare lips and let it dry within 5 minutes. You then peel it off and top it with the gloss end. The brand suggests prepping lips first with its Fresh Kiss Lip Scrub.

It went on sale in October 2026, online only, and contains 12 products from 12 Korean beauty brands, mostly skincare plus one lip product and one hair product.

What's New

The calendar is one of Ulta Beauty's new holiday advent calendars and is marked New on the retailer's site. The packaging uses the name "12 Days of Glass Skin Countdown". Ulta describes it as "12 days of K-beauty surprises designed to help you glow all season long." The retailer positions it as a way to try new routines, open one product a day, or give it to someone who already uses K-beauty.

The set costs $69. Ulta says buying the same products individually would come to $145. Ulta has not published values for the individual items.

Products Inside

Ulta lists the following 12 products. It has not published which product sits behind which door.

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).

What's Inside the Set

This is the newest edition of Petite & Popular. It is separate from the earlier six-piece lavender-bag version, and three of the four minis are exclusive to this set. The full lineup:

• Exclusive Travel Size B.I.G. Mouth XL Plump Intensive Lip Plumping Concentrate: according to Polite Society, the plumper is clinically proven to plump lips for 12 hours. In the brand's own study, 100% of participants said it added volume to the top lip, and 97% said they would skip lip injections for it.
• Exclusive Travel Size Missbehave Weightless Volume Mascara: the brand says it gives lashes bold, cloud-like volume and major lift.
• Travel Size More than a Pretty Powder Loose Setting Powder in Universal Translucent: according to Polite Society, it is clinically proven to minimize the look of pores and control unwanted shine. It comes with a curved sifter designed for mess-free pickup.
• Exclusive Travel Size Polite Pout Glossy Lip Balm in Pink Grapefruit: the brand says it hydrates dry lips with rich, glossy color and a flavored finish.
• Limited Edition Mini Makeup Bag: a quilted burgundy bag with custom-fit interior pockets that hold each mini in place.

How to Use the Products

• B.I.G. Mouth XL Plump: Distribute evenly across the top and bottom lip, applying only within the lip perimeter. Polite Society warns that application on skin may cause temporary redness or swelling. Users may also feel a warming or tingling sensation lasting 20+ minutes. The brand advises removing the product and discontinuing use if there is any discomfort, and keeping it away from children.
• Missbehave Mascara: Apply directly to lashes and build from root to tip until the desired volume is achieved.
• More than a Pretty Powder: Swirl a fluffy powder brush around the curved sifter to pick up product, then apply where needed to blur pores and control shine.
• Polite Pout: Reapply throughout the day for hydration.

Price and Value

The set costs $38.00 at Ulta Beauty. It includes four travel-size formulas covering lips, lashes and complexion, plus the limited edition mini makeup bag. Polite Society has not published a separate "value if bought separately" figure for the set.
