Keeping up with everything happening in beauty can feel like a full-time job.
Blink, and you’ve probably missed a launch, a collaboration, or something everyone’s suddenly talking about. With so much going on, it can be hard to keep track of it all.
So, we’ve put together a list of the latest launches worth knowing about, saving you the trouble of scrolling through endless announcements to find out what’s new.
Skincare
Laneige Bouncy & Firm Hydrogel Eye Patches
Tired-looking eyes could use a little extra attention and these hydrogel eye patches are designed to give the under-eye area just that.
Infused with banana probiotic-derived PDRN, green tea-derived PDRN, caffeine, and niacinamide, they help reduce the appearance of puffiness while improving the look of firmness and brightness. The cooling patches also contain melting spicules to enhance the absorption of active ingredients.
Clinically proven to leave the eye area looking smoother and more lifted, they’re a handy addition to your routine when your eyes need a pick-me-up.

Anua PDRN Lip Serum
Anua’s PDRN Lip Serum delivers deep moisture to keep lips feeling soft, smooth, and nourished throughout the day and night.
Its non-greasy formula helps maintain hydration while giving lips a naturally fuller and healthier appearance. According to the brand, the serum can also improve the appearance of chapped, rough lip texture after just one use, leaving lips looking visibly smoother.
Formulated with antioxidant benefits, it is also free from parabens, silicones and sulphates.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum
Serum or makeup primer? This product does both. Developed with skincare labs in Korea, this multi-purpose formula can be used morning and night to hydrate, brighten and smooth skin texture while helping improve the appearance of pores over time.
Inspired by Korean makeup artist techniques, its unique gel texture creates a grippy base that helps makeup stay in place for a glass-skin finish.
You can even mix it with foundation, bronzer or blush for an added boost of radiance. Despite its luminous finish, the serum contains no mica or glitter and has also been tested on sensitive skin.
Get this for RM186 (40ml) from Sephora.
Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask (Holiday Limited Edition)
Tatcha gives its bestselling lip mask a festive makeover with a new tinted version.
Dressed in a deep maple red hue, it gives lips a glossy tint while caring for dryness and flakiness. Its jelly-like formula contains squalane to help seal in moisture, alongside Japanese peach extract to revitalise and soften lips.
Beyond keeping them hydrated, the mask also helps improve the look of fullness, leaving lips feeling smoother and looking plumper. It’s a nice way to give your lip care routine a festive touch without reaching for lipstick.
Get this for RM141 from Sephora.
Kiehl’s 1cc* CollaShot Plump Serum
Collagen loss can show up in more ways than just fine lines, and Kiehl’s is looking to address several of these concerns with its latest serum.
Powered by recombinant collagen polypeptides delivered through a supra-liposomal system, the formula is designed to give skin a plumper appearance both instantly and with continued use.
It also contains rhamnose and proxylane to target six visible signs of collagen loss, including reduced firmness, less defined facial contours and loss of elasticity.
Adding to its appeal is a bouncy gel-to-serum texture, while vitamin B12 gives it a natural pink hue.
Get this for RM279 (50ml) from Sephora.
Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisture Recovery Serum
When skin feels tight, rough or just generally out of sorts, a little barrier support can go a long way.
Dr. Jart+ brings its Ceramidin range into serum form with this lightweight formula, made with Aqua Cera and Zinc Hyaluronic Acid to help restore dry, compromised skin.
Rather than simply moisturising the surface, it delivers hydration across multiple layers of the skin while helping strengthen its natural barrier.
The result is skin that feels smoother, looks healthier and has a subtle glow, without the heavier feel some richer moisturisers can leave behind.
Get this for RM165 (30ml) from Sephora.
Clinique Even Better City Block Damage Defense UV Primer SPF 50 PA ++++
Your daily sunscreen may be doing more than you think, but Clinique wants to take that protection a step further.
This lightweight SPF 50 PA++++ primer is designed to shield skin from UVA and UVB rays, while antioxidants help defend against free radical damage linked to pollution, infrared light and blue light. It also provides soothing hydration and supports the skin barrier against environmental irritants.
The sheer, velvety formula dries quickly without feeling heavy, making it a practical first step before makeup. It’s also fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and is suitable for sensitive skin.
Get this for RM190 (30ml) from Sephora.
Makeup
Tarte Xoxo Blush & Glow™ Macaron Trio (Holiday Limited Edition)
Blush lovers who enjoy mixing and matching their cheek colours might find this little trio hard to resist.
Tarte has given its viral 2-in-1 cream and baked radiant blush a holiday makeover, bringing three new limited-edition shades in mini macaron-shaped compacts.
You can wear each shade on its own or layer them together for a more customised flush. A thoughtful detail is the built-in Blend Bar, which doubles as a divider to keep the two formulas separate and a mixing ledge for blending.
The trio also comes in a giftable ornament box complete with a to-and-from tag.
Get this for RM165 from Sephora.
Kosas Blush Is Life Mini (Holiday Limited Edition)
Not sure which blush shade to go for? Kosas makes the choice a little more interesting with two-tone colour combinations in its holiday-exclusive mini edition.
Available in ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Euphoria’, each baked powder blush features two swirled shades that come together to create a natural-looking flush. The talc-free formula is infused with squalane and hyaluronic acid, giving it a silky texture that blends easily into skin.
You can build up the colour to your liking, while its radiant, skin-like finish helps avoid that overly powdery look. It’s also a handy size to keep in your makeup bag.
Get this for RM60 from Sephora.
Tarte You Know You Love Me Collector’s Set (Holiday Limited Edition)
If you’re shopping for someone who loves a bit of everything when it comes to makeup, Tarte’s holiday collector’s set could make a rather fun gift.

There’s also a reusable wristlet clutch with a gold chain, giving them somewhere to keep their ID and cards when heading out. With plenty of goodies to go around, it’s also a great set to split among the makeup enthusiasts in your friend group.

One/Size Oil Sucker Liquid Blotting Paper Spray
Blotting papers aren’t the only option when your T-zone starts looking shiny halfway through the day.
One/Size switches things up with a liquid version in the form of this fine-mist spray, designed to absorb excess oil and leave skin with a soft-matte, blurred finish. Its hydroclay formula uses wet-to-dry technology to control shine without disturbing your existing makeup or leaving your skin feeling dry.
It’s made for quick touch-ups whenever your complexion needs a reset, and in a consumer study, all participants agreed that it helped mattify oily skin while keeping their makeup intact.
Get this for RM175 (142ml) or RM100 (45ml) from Sephora.
Patrick Ta Mini Blush Duo
If you’ve ever wondered how to get that layered blush look without juggling multiple products, Patrick Ta has made it easier with this mini version of its viral blush duo.
Each compact pairs a pigmented powder blush with a hydrating cream formula, which can be layered together using the brand’s signature cream-over-powder technique.
The two textures work to create a more dimensional flush, with bold colour that blends into skin for a dewy, lit-from-within finish.
It comes in three shades: She Goes To The Gym, She Knows Who She Is and She’s Blushing.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Complexion Perfector
Not every part of your face needs the same level of coverage, especially when you’re only looking to conceal a few spots.
For Laura Mercier’s 30th anniversary, the brand has reimagined its iconic Secret Camouflage with the new Secret Camouflage Complexion Perfector, designed to provide targeted coverage where you need it most.
This updated version offers full coverage in three adjustable shades to conceal everything from blemishes and redness to dark spots and scars.
Its waterproof formula sets into a natural matte finish with up to 16 hours of wear, while vitamins C and E and chamomile extract help care for the skin barrier and prevent the appearance of discolouration.
Get this for RM159 from Sephora or Laura Mercier outlets at Mid Valley Megamall and One Utama.
Patrick Ta Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette (Holiday Limited Edition)
Patrick Ta keeps this holiday eyeshadow palette to six shades, making it easier to put together a complete eye look without having to reach for multiple palettes.
The limited-edition selection combines three velvety mattes with three pearlescent shimmers, each designed to complement the others. The mattes have a buttery, blendable texture that can be built up for more intensity, while the shimmers add a soft sheen to the lids.
For an everyday look, use the matte shades to add definition to your crease before tapping a shimmer onto the centre of your lids. You can also layer the shades for a more dressed-up finish when heading to a dinner or festive party.
Get this for RM230 from Sephora.
Huda Beauty Bronze Filter Palette
Bronzer and contour often go hand in hand, and Huda Beauty brings both together in one powder palette for added warmth and definition.
The palette comes with four shades, each serving a different purpose:
- A buildable bronzer for a sun-kissed glow
- Contour shade to add definition
- A rosy hue for a healthy flush of warmth
- A soft-radiance shade for a subtle glow
The powders can be worn individually, layered or swirled together, depending on the finish you’re after.
For a more defined look, use the contour shade along your cheekbones and jawline, then sweep the bronzer over your cheeks and temples for a little extra warmth. You can even use the powders on your body for an all-over bronzed finish.
Get this for RM238 from Sephora.
Sephora Collection All That Glimmers Eyeshadow Palette (Holiday Limited Edition)
While some eyeshadow palettes stick to a particular colour story, Sephora Collection takes a more versatile route with this holiday edition.
Its nine shades span both warm and cool tones, with satin and shimmer finishes that are easy to blend. You can keep things subtle for daytime or build up the colours for something bolder when heading out.
There’s also a little something extra beyond the eyeshadows themselves: each set comes with a glittery pouch to keep your palette in. It’s a fun little set for anyone who likes to switch up their eye looks depending on the occasion, without having to buy multiple palettes.
Get this for RM113 from Sephora.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte SPF 30 UVB/UVA/PA +++
For days when foundation feels like too much, Laura Mercier offers a lighter alternative with its latest tinted moisturiser. The formula provides sheer to light, buildable coverage to even out skin tone while keeping the finish natural-looking and blurred.
What makes it particularly interesting is its 91% skincare-based formula, which is designed to provide 16-hour hydration while controlling excess shine for over 24 hours. It also helps minimise the appearance of pores over time without clogging them.
With SPF 30 protection against UVA and UVB rays, it combines a little complexion coverage with everyday sun protection.

Fragrances
Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Intense Perfume Mist
If you’re already a fan of Sol de Janeiro’s signature Cheirosa 62 scent, this more intense take offers a warmer, richer way to wear it.
Inspired by Rio’s golden-hour atmosphere, the new perfume mist combines roasted pistachio, vanilla absolute and a solar ambery accord for a scent that feels warm and inviting.
The brand describes it as capturing the spirit of an evening in Ipanema, when the sun goes down and the night is just getting started. Think of it as a slightly bolder addition to your fragrance collection, especially if you enjoy sweet, nutty and amber-like scents.
Get this for RM160 (90ml) from Sephora.
Prada Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry Eau De Parfum
Sweetness takes on a more sophisticated direction with Prada’s latest addition to the Paradoxe fragrance family. The Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry Eau de Parfum plays with contrasts, pairing its signature neroli with an indulgent Neroli Milk Accord and a drop of Blackcurrant Syrup.
The result is a fruity floral scent that balances juicy sweetness with softer floral notes, rather than leaning entirely sugary.
Described as sharp yet soft, the fragrance draws inspiration from the many sides of the Paradoxe woman. It also comes in a refillable bottle, making it a more practical addition to your fragrance collection.
Get this for RM855 (90ml) from Sephora.
Tom Ford Beauty Ombre Leather Reserve Parfum
Taking inspiration from the rugged landscapes of the American West, TOM FORD BEAUTY’s latest fragrance brings together earthy woods and rich leather notes for a scent with plenty of depth.
Ombre Leather Reserve Parfum opens with aromatic silver juniper, captured using headspace technology, alongside fresh cypress and a touch of black pepper for a slightly spicy edge.
As it settles, pinyon wood, sandalwood and myrrh add warmth, while a deep black leather accord gives the fragrance its distinctive character. The result is a woody scent that balances fresh, green notes with a darker, more intense finish.
Get this for RM920 (50ml) from Sephora.
Born To Stand Out Drunk Lovers Eau De Parfum
Not every fragrance has to play it safe and BORNTOSTANDOUT makes that clear with Drunk Lovers Eau de Parfum.
It opens with a lively mix of citronella, bergamot, grapefruit, juniper and red berries before moving into a warmer heart of brandy, ginger, pepper and clary sage. As the scent develops, amber, sandalwood and vanilla bring a creamy sweetness, while patchouli, vetiver, benzoin resin, cinnamon and musk add a deeper, more lingering finish.
It’s a rather bold combination for those who enjoy fragrances that lean towards boozy, spicy and woody notes.
Get this for RM1,150 (100ml) from Sephora.
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Santal Couture Eau De Parfum
The familiar floral character of YSL’s Libre gets a warmer, woodier interpretation with this new couture edition.
Libre Santal Couture marks the collection’s first woody floral fragrance, bringing together vibrant French lavender and Moroccan orange blossom accord with the richness of New Caledonian sandalwood.
The sandalwood is sustainably sourced and specially extracted to capture its finest scent profile, giving the fragrance a textured, enveloping quality.
Even the bottle gets a makeover, swapping its usual look for a glossy earthy-brown finish, complete with the signature gold Cassandre accessory. It’s a different side of Libre for those who prefer warmer scents.
Get this for RM630 (50ml) from Sephora.
