Editors' Picks: New launches from Saie, Monpure, Laneige and more...
From Saie's holiday gift sets to Monpure's hair and body oil, and more, here are the top beauty launch picks of the week from TheIndustry.beauty team.
Dew Blush Trio and Glossybounce + Glowy Super Gel Duo, Saie
Makeup brand Saie is celebrating the festive season with a number of new holiday gift sets. In the UK, customers can now get their hands on its new Dew Blush Trio (£25, worth £36) and Glowy Super Gel Duo (£20, worth £32).
The Dew Blush Trio contains three mini sizes of the brand's bestselling, ultra-blendable Dew Blush Liquid Cheek Flush in shades Baby (cool-toned baby pink), Chilly (cool-toned mauve), and Flirty (bright watermelon). So, whether you want a subtle tint or intense, rich pop of colour, this formula is entirely buildable and features a range of skin-loving ingredients to brighten, moisturise and nourish skin.
Meanwhile, the Glowy Super Gel Duo boasts two mini sizes of Saie's viral, water-based multipurpose illuminator. This includes its bestselling universal bronze gold shade (Sunglow) and a limited-edition soft warm golden shade (Warmglow), designed to prime, highlight and deliver dew.
What's more, the gift sets are also sustainably packaged in 100% FSC certified paper. Available now at Cult Beauty.

Bouncy & Firm Lip Treatment, Laneige
If you know me, you'll know I've been a long-time fan of Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask. But dare I say its spot has officially been replaced on my bathroom counter?
After trying Laneige's recently launched Bouncy & Firm Lip Treatment at a press day last week, I was officially hooked. The deeply hydrating balm provides an unmatched glossy sheen to the lips that boosts the appearance of volume to the absolute max (without that horrid tingling sensation that comes with lip-plumping products). People were even approaching me to ask what I was wearing!
Available for £23 at Cult Beauty, the elevated lip balm's formula calls on the strengths of ceramide capsules to nourish and protect the skin barrier while peptides simultaneously firm and smooth. It's enriched with five types of hyaluronic acid to drench lips with intense moisture, hydration and plumping potential.
Though the formula speaks for itself, the packaging is also something to shout about. This time, Laniege's potted treatment comes with a lip spatula that slides into the lid - perfect for acrylic wearers like myself. For full-glam evenings or stripped-back days, this versatile gloss-turned-balm is on my line-up for the foreseeable future.

Wicked collaboration collection, r.e.m. beauty
With Ariana Grande starring as Glinda in the new Wicked movie, it's perhaps no surprise that her beauty brand has launched a collection of themed products ahead of its release next week.
The new range, which seems to be very 'popular' with fans of the musical, draws inspiration from the world of Wicked, with a magical collection of products including a Glinda Glow Drops Serum, Ozdust Eyeshadow Palette, Tulip Field Lip Stain and So Popular pH Adaptive Lip Oil, each housed in intricately illustrated packaging.
There's also two makeup sets. The first is inspired by Glinda, offering a shimmering soft lavender liquid eyeshadow, bubble-toned liner, sheer blush and lip stick, and creamy metallic matte lipstick. Meanwhile, the second set features a shimmering liquid eyeshadow for Elphaba-inspired emerald eyes, black olive eyeliner, sheer plum-toned blush, and colour-changing lip balm that adapts to a unique plum shade for each wearer.
With an ever-growing list of spellbinding collaborations, there's something for everyone. To read more about the recent Wicked beauty collabs, check out our wider feature here. There's some great new launches!

Shimmer & Hydrate Hair and Body Oil, Monpure
I recently discovered the world of Monpure at Trace Publicity's press day. Though I was a little late to the party, the scalp and haircare brand caught my eye with its Shimmer & Hydrate Hair and Body Oil (£40).
Packed with golden glitters galore, this hair and body oil radiates holiday season aesthetic. The hydrating, lightweight oil is particularly poignant on dark locks, gracing mine with a glow like no other. Not only does it illuminate hair and skin, but it also reduces moisture loss by 70%. The intoxicating fruity, woody scent is an added bonus.
This multi-purpose elixir promises to add a heavy heaping of glamour to even the most mundane Mondays during the holiday season.
