Lipstick: Latest Posts

The Hermès Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection includes 23 Beige Doblis lipstick, 07 Ombres Sables palette, 50 Or Rose nail polish and 02 Or Permabrass powder. Hermès sells the four separately, not as a boxed set, with US prices from $66 to $121 and UK prices from £47 to £100. All four are available at hermes.com, Selfridges and John Lewis.

Updated 2 November 2026: Hermès now lists all four products with prices, and they are on sale at hermes.com, Selfridges and John Lewis.

The listings confirm the four products and their official names, replacing the unconfirmed names from earlier images.

MAC's Satin Soirée Mini Lip Trio is a holiday-exclusive set of three mini M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipsticks in Modesty, Dubonnet and Maraschino, Much? It costs $32 in the US and £30 in the UK, and it has been listed on maccosmetics.com since 1 October 2026 as part of the MAC Holiday 2026 Collection. The set is sold through MAC's own sites and Ulta Beauty, and it comes in a black-and-silver holiday case.

The same season also brings the MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons Advent Calendar 2026, the brand's holiday countdown calendar.

Updated 27 October 2026: in stock at maccosmetics.com (US), maccosmetics.co.uk (UK) and Ulta Beauty (US).

Release Date

MAC didn't announce a separate launch date for this set. It is part of the Holiday 2026 collection, which launched on maccosmetics.com on 1 October 2026, and the trio has been listed on the US site since that day. It appeared on maccosmetics.co.uk on 15 October 2026. It was in stock at Ulta Beauty (US) on 27 October 2026. MAC UK describes the set as "Christmas-exclusive."

Price

• US: $32 at maccosmetics.com and at Ulta Beauty
• UK: £30 at maccosmetics.co.uk

The trio costs $32, and MAC and Ulta Beauty list it as a $48 value. For comparison, a full-size M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick costs $25 in the US.

What's Inside

Three mini M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipsticks, all in a satin finish:

• Modesty
• Dubonnet
• Maraschino, Much?

Satin Soirée Shades and Swatches

MAC describes the three shades as follows:

• Modesty: muted neutral pink
• Dubonnet: midtone wine
• Maraschino, Much?: vibrant blue red

MAC's images show the following:

• a packshot of the black case with a silver bow, holding three minis in red-and-pink holiday tubes
• product smooshes of all three shades
• arm swatches on three skin tones
• lip swatches of each shade on several models

Where to Buy

What Makes the Satin Soirée Mini Lip Trio Different?

• Finish: it is built entirely around the satin M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin formula. The other Holiday 2026 mini set, the Teddy Party Mini Lip Trio ($32 / €32), uses mini Silky Matte Lipsticks in Warm Teddy, Velvet Teddy and Cool Teddy, so the two are easy to confuse.
• Shade range: the three shades run from a neutral pink to a wine to a blue red.
• Packaging: the minis come in a glittering black-and-silver holiday case with a silver bow, which MAC presents as ready to gift.

Formula and Packaging

• M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick (mini):

- According to MAC, the formula gives full-coverage, pigment-rich colour and eight hours of comfort and hydration.

- MAC says it hydrates with pomegranate flower extract and conditions with camellia seed and rosehip oils.

- MAC also says it makes lips look visibly fuller and reduces the look of fine, dry lines.

- It has MAC's signature vanilla scent, and the brand says it can be used on lips and cheeks.

- MAC states the lipstick case features PCR (post-consumer recycled) material.

How to Use

MAC suggests prepping with Prep + Prime Lip, then applying the lipstick directly to lips. For a blurred effect, MAC suggests applying it to the centre of the lips and blending out with the 318S Brush. MAC also suggests dabbing it on cheeks for a monochromatic look.

Updated 16 October 2026: the trio is on sale at victoriabeckhambeauty.com (US). Seven of the 12 Posh Lip shades are in stock, and Muse, Spice, Jump, Smile and Spark are sold out. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lip Trio Launch?

Victoria Beckham Beauty hasn't announced an official release date for the Posh Lip Trio. The set listing was published on victoriabeckhambeauty.com on 15 October 2026.

What Makes the Posh Lip Trio Different?

• Holiday packaging: the set comes in a limited-edition box with the Victoria Beckham chain motif.
• Set pricing: each lipstick costs $35.10 inside the trio, compared with $39.00 bought on its own.

It is not to be confused with Victoria Beckham Beauty's Posh Balm Trio or Posh Gloss Trio. Those are older sets and are currently sold out on the brand site.

Formula and Packaging

• Posh Lip is described by the brand as a "Moisturizing Colour Lipstick." According to Victoria Beckham Beauty, it contains:

- candelilla, carnauba, rose flower and sunflower waxes to lock in moisture

- rosehip, coconut and avocado oils for moisture and shine

- a Pomegranate Jojoba Complex that the brand says smooths and plumps fine lines

• Format: each lipstick comes in a sleek slim bullet.
• Brand claims: the brand says the formula is cruelty free, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, vegan, gluten-free and soy-free.

For a more precise outline, the brand suggests applying Lip Definer first and then gliding Posh Lip on top, building it up in layers. Victoria's own signature look pairs Lip Definer in 02 with Posh Lip in 02.

For a matte lipstick from the same brand, see the Victoria Beckham Beauty Rouge Victoria Matte Lipstick. Another holiday lip set this season is the Patrick Ta Holiday 2026 Mint Mocha Lip Trio. You can find more Victoria Beckham launches on the brand page, or browse all makeup releases.

Selfridges does not list a separate price for an individual Mimetic Pearl Lip Colour, so there is no "bought separately" value for the set.

What's Inside

The contents Selfridges has confirmed:

• 2 lipsticks, both in the Mimetic Pearl Lip Colour formula (2 metallic pearl finishes)
• 3.5g each
• Total: 2 x 3.5g = 7g of lipstick

The box text reads "The Mimetic Edit — a duo of pearlised lipsticks." Both lipsticks come in gold bullets.

Ruby and Spinel Shades

• Ruby is a deep metallic red.
• Spinel is a pearly rosy-nude with a pinky-brown tone.

The swatch image labels both shades. The model shots show Spinel as a nude-pink metallic and Ruby as a red metallic, each worn on a model with a different skin tone.

What Makes the Mimetic Edit Lipstick Gift Set Different?

• A new formula. Mimetic Pearl joins Lisa Eldridge's True Velvet, Luxuriously Lucent and Insanely Saturated lipstick formulas, according to Durbin Rock.
• An early look at a future range. Durbin Rock reports that the set lets shoppers try Mimetic Pearl before Lisa Eldridge launches it as a full range. No date for that range has been confirmed.
• Two contrasting shades. The duo pairs Ruby, a deep metallic red, with Spinel, a rosy-nude pearl. Selfridges calls them "both new Mimetic Pearl Lip Colours in one kit."

Readers who follow the brand's lip launches can compare it with the earlier Lisa Eldridge Baume Embrace Melting Lip Colour, a balm-textured formula. For complexion, the brand's Lisa Eldridge Luminist Concealer launched in 32 shades. Another two-piece lip set this season is MOB Beauty Paloma's Rich & Romantic Lip Duo.

Formula and Packaging

• Mimetic Pearl Lip Colour (Ruby, Spinel):

- Formula: According to Selfridges and Lisa Eldridge, it packs saturated colour with densely packed, multicoloured micro pearls for a smooth metallic finish. The brand says the pearls catch and reflect light from every angle for a "multi-dimensional finish." An "ultra-cushioning lipid complex" is said to provide balmy comfort throughout the day.

- Claims: The brand also describes the formula as vegan, fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

- Packaging: Each lipstick comes in a gold bullet.

How to use: Lisa Eldridge recommends applying Mimetic Pearl straight from the bullet for saturated colour in one swipe. For a more precise application, use Lisa's No. 20 Lip Brush. Selfridges notes that, for hygiene reasons, the set can't be exchanged or refunded unless faulty.

The Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Case in a new croc design is a refillable aluminium lipstick case with black croc-embossed panels and a gold T bar. It costs €120 at Breuninger Germany and is on sale there now. The case comes without a lipstick, so the Reserve Lip Color Refill is sold separately. It is the latest addition to Tom Ford Beauty's Reserve lipstick range.

For the refill shades that fit this case, see our post on Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Sloane Coral, Soho Mauve & Sublime Rose.

Updated 14 October 2026: In stock at Breuninger in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland, with low stock shown. It is not listed on Tom Ford Beauty US or UK.

When Did the Tom Ford Reserve Lip Color Case Croc Design Launch?

Tom Ford Beauty hasn't announced an official release date for the croc design. German beauty blog Glam-Junkies reported the new case on 14 October 2026. By the same day, it was on sale at Breuninger in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland.

Price

The croc case is listed at these Breuninger prices:

• €120 in Germany and Austria
• CHF 135 in Switzerland
• PLN 550 in Poland

In the US, Tom Ford Beauty sells the fluted cases for $125 each. It also sells a case-and-refill bundle for $175 and a single refill (0.11 oz) for $50. No US or UK price has been published for the croc design.

All three cases are aluminium and take the same Reserve refills. The croc version swaps the fluted surface for croc-embossed black panels framed by gold.

What Makes the Croc Design Different?

• Surface: Breuninger's packshot shows four glossy croc-embossed black panels instead of the fluting on the Black Fluted and Gold Fluted cases.
• Gold T bar: a polished gold bar runs the length of the case, with a horizontal gold band where the cap joins the body.
• Availability: Tom Ford Beauty US lists only the two fluted designs. So far, we have found the croc design only at Breuninger.

Packaging and How Refilling Works

According to Tom Ford Beauty, the case is made from a single, uninterrupted piece of aluminium. The brand says it chose aluminium for its strength-to-weight ratio, which allows sharp detailing and a distinctive feel in the hand.

To refill, Tom Ford Beauty says to insert the refill into the case and rotate it gently. A soft click confirms the lipstick is locked into the base.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed for the croc design. The Tom Ford Beauty US site lists only the Black Fluted and Gold Fluted cases ($125).
• UK: Not yet confirmed.
• Europe:

- Breuninger Germany (€120)

- Breuninger Austria (€120)

- Breuninger Switzerland (CHF 135)

- Breuninger Poland (PLN 550)

- Refill: Breuninger Germany (€49)

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

Checked 14 October 2026: In stock at Breuninger (DE, AT, CH, PL), with low stock shown. Not listed on Tom Ford Beauty US, Tom Ford Beauty UK, Selfridges or Notino Germany.

Clinique's Limited-Edition Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is the brand's cult sheer lip colour in a crystal-coated silver case for the 2026 holiday season. It costs $29 at clinique.com in the US, where it went on sale by 5 October 2026. The bullet inside is the same shade 06 Black Honey that Clinique sells year-round.

Updated 13 October 2026: in stock at clinique.com (US). Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Clinique's holiday 2026 lineup also includes the Clinique 24 Days of Clinique Advent Calendar 2026. The Clinique Holiday 2026 Gift Sets cost $18 to $150 at clinique.com (US).

When Did the Clinique Limited-Edition Black Honey Almost Lipstick Launch?

Clinique hasn't announced an official release date. The product page first appeared on Clinique's US store on 5 October 2026 and was in stock when we checked on 13 October 2026. BeautyVelle covered the launch as part of Clinique's 2026 Christmas season releases and called it "Black Honey Diamond". Clinique's own name for it is "Limited-Edition Almost Lipstick in Black Honey".

Price

The limited edition costs $29 (US) at clinique.com. It shouldn't be confused with Clinique's permanent Almost Lipstick in Black Honey in the regular silver tube, which is listed at $25 on clinique.com. The two contain the same shade and formula. Clinique hasn't published UK, Canadian or European pricing for the limited edition.

Shade

There is one shade, 06 Black Honey. Clinique says it is "famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone." Clinique also states on its product imagery that Black Honey is the "#1 lip color shade in the US," citing Circana U.S. Prestige Beauty data for the 12 months ending June 2023.

Clinique's images include:

• the crystal case and box,
• a swatch card captioned "Looks incredible (and different) on everyone,"
• the shade swatched on three different skin tones,
• a model applying the lipstick.

The Black Honey shade appears across several other Clinique products this season:

• the Black Honey Collection Makeup Set ($99),
• the Black Honey Trio ($30),
• Color Rich Nail Polish in Black Honey ($18),
• High Impact High-Fi Full Volume Mascara in Black Honey ($30).

Both versions use the same Black Honey shade and formula. The limited edition changes only the case and box.

Where to Buy

• US: Clinique ($29). We did not find it at Ulta Beauty or Nordstrom.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Clinique UK lists only the regular Black Honey Almost Lipstick.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock at clinique.com (US). Not found at Ulta Beauty or Nordstrom. Not listed on Clinique UK.

What Makes the Limited-Edition Black Honey Almost Lipstick Different?

• It puts Clinique's permanent Black Honey shade and formula in a crystal-coated case that the brand describes as "designed to dazzle."
• It comes in a deep magenta floral "Limited Edition" box, while the permanent version comes in a regular silver tube.
• It is $29, compared with $25 for the permanent Almost Lipstick in Black Honey.

Formula and Packaging

• Almost Lipstick formula: According to Clinique, the formula is 95% conditioning ingredients. Its base includes castor seed oil, candelilla wax and carnauba wax. The brand says it is made without fragrance, parabens or phthalates. Clinique's launch copy, as quoted by BeautyVelle, describes the texture as "not quite lipstick, not quite gloss," closer to a layerable balm that gives a sheer, glossy slip of colour.
• Packaging: The bullet sits in a crystal-coated silver case and comes in a magenta floral box.

How to Wear It

Clinique says the formula is forgiving enough to apply without a mirror. For a deeper shade, the brand suggests adding more swipes. It can be worn alone or under or over other Clinique lip colours.
