NYX Professional Makeup New Releases

The NYX Professional Makeup x A Court of Thorns and Roses collection is a makeup collaboration themed on Sarah J. Maas's fantasy romance book series. NYX Professional Makeup has confirmed the NYX x ACOTAR collection for January 2027 and opened a sign-up page on its US site. No products, shades or prices have been revealed yet.

Updated 3 November 2026: the NYX teaser page is live on nyxcosmetics.com (US), with sign-up open and no products listed.

When Does the NYX x ACOTAR Collection Launch?

NYX Professional Makeup has announced a January 2027 launch but hasn't given an exact day. Spoiler blog Durbin Rock reported the collaboration on 29 October 2026. The blog also expects that products may appear at some global NYX retailers towards the end of December 2026. That is the blog's expectation, not a statement from NYX. The NYX teaser page went live by 3 November 2026.

What's New: What We Know So Far

• The teaser graphic: NYX's official image reads "Stay close darling. The NYX Professional Makeup chapter is about to begin. Sign up now. January 2027." "Stay close, darling" is a nod to the books.
• The artwork: the graphic shows a dark mountain peak under three stars in a starry purple night sky. It sits inside an ornate border with crescent moons.
• The sign-up page: NYX has a dedicated ACOTAR teaser page on its US site. It shows no products yet.

NYX has released licensed collections before. ACOTAR fans have already seen a beauty tie-in from fine'ry: we covered the fine'ry x ACOTAR Perfume Collection. For another makeup collaboration based on a book and film franchise, see the Stila x Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Collection.

The NYX Professional Makeup Lip and Cheek Balm Ring is an adjustable limited-edition ring whose Swarovski Crystal lid opens to a buildable balm. Part of the NYX Bling The Halls Holiday 2026 Collection, it costs $60 and comes in three shades. It was on sale at Ulta and JCPenney by 1 November 2026.

Updated 1 November 2026: all three shades are in stock and ready to ship at Ulta, which currently lists the ring as online only, and JCPenney's page shows Sunstone Gem available to add to cart.

When Did the NYX Lip and Cheek Balm Ring Launch?

NYX hasn't announced an official release date that we could find. BeautyTalkClub's earlier collection post listed the ring in September 2026 as revealed, with no price. By 1 November 2026, it was on sale at Ulta and JCPenney, with Ulta labelling it New.

Shades

The ring comes in three shades, numbered in NYX's campaign images and described here using Ulta's wording:

• 01 Pink Bling: fuchsia, in a hot pink case
• 02 Coral Crystal: pink, in a green case
• 03 Sunstone Gem: warm toned brown with gold pearls, in a red case

Each shade has shimmer in the swatch photos, and NYX's arm swatches show all three on three skin tones.

Where to Buy

• US: Ulta ($60); JCPenney ($60), listed as "NYX Professional Makeup Crystal Endorned Ring Lip Cheek Ring"
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed; searches on 1 November 2026 found no listing at dm Germany, Rossmann Poland or NYX's Poland and Germany sites
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 1 November 2026: all three shades in stock and ready to ship at Ulta, online only and not sold in store; JCPenney's page shows Sunstone Gem, with add to cart and shipping to home or store.

What Makes the NYX Lip and Cheek Balm Ring Different?

• Wearable format: the balm is housed in an adjustable ring.
• Embellished lid: the pop-open lid is decorated with Swarovski Crystals, and the official photos show five large coloured stones.
• One balm, two uses: the same balm is meant for both lips and cheeks, and NYX's campaign image calls it a "2-in-1 buildable tint".

Ulta calls the ring "the most sparkling collaboration of the season" and "a true collector's piece".

Formula

Ulta names jojoba seed oil and vitamin E as the key ingredients. According to Ulta, jojoba seed oil has moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties, while vitamin E offers antioxidant benefits. Ulta describes the balm as buildable and creamy, and its listing also shows a Cruelty Free highlight. BeautyTalkClub hasn't tested the product.

Among this season's holiday makeup launches, the MILK MAKEUP The Party Pair Lip + Cheek Blush Set is another product for lips and cheeks.

How to Use

Ulta's directions are to wear it as a ring, pop open the lid and use fingertips to dab the balm onto lips and cheeks. The lid should then be closed securely to protect both the crystals and the balm.

In early 2024, NYX Professional Makeup added Cherry Spice to its Duck Plump High Pigment Lip Plumping Gloss. It's a cherry red, labelled shade 19 on the packaging. Here's how the formula plumps, what's in it and what it costs now.

How Does Duck Plump Plump Your Lips?

It uses ingredients that warm the lips and make them tingle. The ingredient list on Ulta includes:

• Capsicum frutescens (chili pepper) fruit extract and ginger root extract, the "spicy" ingredients NYX promotes
• Vanillyl butyl ether, a warming agent
• Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, a peptide common in lip-plumping formulas

NYX says it gives an "instant and overtime" plump. Our take: the instant effect comes from the warming ingredients briefly increasing blood flow, which fades within hours. Longer-term claims for peptides in lip products are modest at best.

Is the Tingle Safe?

NYX's own warning says a temporary tingling sensation is normal. It tells you to stop using it if it's too uncomfortable, and not to apply it to chapped, damaged or sensitive lips. Take that seriously with a pepper-based plumper.

What Does Cherry Spice Look Like?

The official images show a saturated, glossy cherry red that stays true on light, medium and deep lips. Because it's one of the 16 high-pigment shades, one coat gives real color rather than a sheer tint. NYX pitches Duck Plump as "no need for multiple layers".

What Other Shades Are There?

Ulta lists all 18, including Clearly Spicy, Bangin' Bare, Bubblegum Bae, Pick Me Pink, Brick of Time, Hall of Flame, Twice the Spice, Wine Not and Pure Plum.p. Check the swatches on Ulta for each one.

What Do Reviewers Say?

Confirmed: Duck Plump averaged 3.6 out of 5 on Ulta on September 25, 2026 across all shades. Our take: plumping glosses often get mixed reviews because people react to the tingle very differently.

Vegan?

NYX labels Duck Plump as vegan and cruelty-free.

September 25, 2026 update: we added the ingredient list, size, shade range and current Ulta pricing.
