It has been an exciting year for the industry. The community’s creativity and shared love for beauty made the industry as prismatic as a Morphe Eyeshadow Palette. Kidding aside, it only hints at one thing—the future of beauty is bright. And before we predict what is next for the beauty sphere, we explore all the recent holiday releases that captured our attention. Take a look to meet your new favorites.
GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint
GRWM Cosmetics is undeniably proficient in shade range inclusivity. Recently, the brand expanded its cult-favorite Radiance Tint collection with six new additions to the lineup. All 25 shades feature the same lightweight and long-wearing formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. It’s given that every iteration serves a purpose of its own, but a standout is the release’s new oat shade that works wonders for dark circles.
GRWM Cosmetics Lip Speak Collection
It appears that GRWM’s calendar is full this season as the brand surprised fans with the release of its first-ever lipstick line. A new take on a classic makeup staple, Lip Speak renders a lightweight, buildable, and comfortable formula with a moisturizing matte finish. It is also housed in bullet packaging with a press-to-release mechanism, and is shaped in a slanted square tip for precision. Elsewhere, the lineup arrives in 10 wearable shades to suit any complexion and occasion.
BLK Cosmetics Rouge Hydrating Lipstick
Another entry for the lipstick category is BLK Cosmetics’ Rouge Hydrating Lipstick. In time for the holiday season, the brand released a collection of red lipsticks to complement any skin tone. Red lantern, for one, is a berry red hue, while Terracotta is a burnt red shade. The lineup also includes Rosewood, a peachy red tint, and Cabernet, a universally-flattering brick red.
BLK Cosmetics Gloss Water Blur Tint
Alongside, BLK Cosmetics introduced two new shades, Happy Hour and Spring Break, as the latest addition to its Glossy Water Blur Tint lineup. Like its preceding iterations, the multi-use formula sets off a lustrous pigment with a gloss stain finish that can last the whole day.
Happy Skin Oil-In Serum Boosters
Happy Skin is ending the year strong with the release of its newest serum collection. It features two key variants that combine the moisturizing properties of plush oil with the potent and efficacious formula of a serum. Hyaluronic + B3 Boost Oil Drops Serum is set to instantly plump up and hydrate skin while minimizing the appearance of dark spots. Meanwhile, Bakuchiol + Peptide Oil Drops Serum is designed to firm and refine the skin while addressing signs of stress and aging.
Ever Bilena Plus Collection
Ever Bilena updated its Plus Collection with the release of three new skin-focused products. A take on a skincare and makeup hybrid, the brand’s latest innovation takes the form of a serum-infused skin tint, soothing balm moisturizer, and serum powder foundation. For one, the Good Skin Day Skin Tint is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Bakuchiol to nourish and hydrate while delivering a radiant skin-like finish.
Skinned Beauty
Skinned Beauty might be a new contender in the beauty game, but its brow products are garnering attention from experts. Skinned Eyebrow Glue, one of the release’s headliners, is a vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free formula that holds brow hair into place all day. It also arrives with a double-ended brush to easily sculpt the brows. Alongside is the Skinned Eyebrow Pen, a water-proof, smudge-proof, and long-wearing pen that comes with a microfine tip to define the brows.
Clocheflame Vacation Scented Candle
Clocheflame recently entered the scent category with the release of the Vacation Scented Candle. Hailed to be the first on its lineup, the olfactory poetry encapsulates a tropical dream vacation through the relaxing notes of tangerine, seawater, lemon verbena, peach, and musk. A whiff can mentally transport anyone away from the busy life in the city and into their best island memory. Another noteworthy detail includes its chic glass jar that makes a beautiful addition to any collection.
