Rhode Launches at Sephora UK! The minimalist beauty brand founded by Hailey Bieber, has finally arrived at Sephora. No more international shipping or customs fees: the full collection is now on UK shelves and online. From the viral Peptide Glazing Fluid to the Glazing Milk and Glazing Mist, Rhode’s signature dewy-skin aesthetic is officially within easy reach.
This post covers what’s launching, which products are worth trying first, and how the range performs (plus a few honest thoughts on the famous lip treatments).
When does Rhode launch at Sephora UK?
Rhode Launches at Sephora UK
Rhode landed at Sephora UK today – 10th November 2025, marking the brand’s first major retail expansion beyond its own site. Every hero item from the core range is available, and yes, that includes the Peptide Glazing Fluid, Glazing Milk, Glazing Mist, and Peptide Lip Treatment.
You can now shop Rhode directly from Sephora UK* or still order from rhode.com if you prefer.
What to Shop from Rhode at Sephora UK
Peptide Glazing Fluid – the viral serum that started the “glazed-donut” trend. Lightweight, hydrating, and gives instant radiance. Read my full Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid Review.

Glazing Mist – a fine hydrating spray that refreshes makeup or skincare throughout the day. Read my Rhode Glazing Mist Review.

My Honest Take on the Lip Treatments
While the Peptide Lip Treatments tend to get the most buzz online, I’ve been much for impressed with the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape Pencil. It’s beautifully creamy and easy to use, but I’m still not completely sold on the texture of some of Rhode’s Pepetide Lip Treatments, hence why I’ve not yet featured them. I have tried a few, and a couple of them felt a bit crunchy in texture and overly sticky. They are well loved, but definitely not my top pick from the brand.
If you love that glossy-lip look but prefer a smoother, more cushiony feel, I’d genuinely recommend trying my REESON Glossing Balm* instead. I created it to deliver a high-shine, hydrated finish, with a softer, balmier texture. You can read more about it in my REESON Glossing Balm Review.
Where to Buy Rhode in the UK
Rhode is now officially stocked at Sephora UK* both online and in selected stores. You can also still buy directly from rhode.com, but Sephora offers faster UK shipping and easy returns.
Final Thoughts
It’s so exciting to see Rhode finally launch at Sephora UK. It’s a brand that truly captures that clean, fresh, dewy-skin vibe we all love. I’ll keep updating my Rhode reviews as the line grows, but if you’re shopping the launch, those core skincare pieces are the ones to start with.

If you’ve been waiting for Kulfi Beauty to hit UK shelves, the time has come! This is my full Kulfi Beauty UK review with swatches and product thoughts ahead of the official UK launch at Space NK on Friday 8th August 2025.
I’ve tested five of the most exciting products from the range, from the Main Match Concealer to the dreamy Heirloom Lipsticks. Here’s everything you need to know before it drops.
What is Kulfi Beauty?
Kulfi Beauty UK Review & Swatches – Launching at Space NK
Before I dive into this Kulfi Beauty UK review, here’s a little background. Kulfi Beauty is a South Asian-inspired makeup brand known for its bold colour stories, creamy formulas, and inclusive shade ranges. Founded with joy and celebration in mind, this brand champions skin tones that are often overlooked.
Their mission? To make makeup feel like fun, not pressure, and it shows. Founder Priyanka Ganjoo created the Kulfi Beauty brand back in 2021 with the aim of addressing the lack of representation for South Asian individuals in the beauty industry. Having tried the products, however, and meeting lovely Priyanka, I feel it’s truly a brand for everyone.
Where to Buy Kulfi Beauty in the UK
The Kulfi Beauty UK launch is happening at Space NK (both online and selected stores including the brand new Oxford Circus store) on Friday 8th August 2025. You’ll be able to shop all the core products including mascara, concealer, blush, shadow, and lipstick and more.
Kulfi Beauty UK Review – Best Products to Try First
I have been trying out a selection of products and I’m really impressed. Here’s a collection of mini reviews to help you shop this new-to-the-UK brand.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – What to Buy
Main Match Concealer (£26) – shade Bad Badaam swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Main Match Concealer
A medium buildable coverage concealer that blends seamlessly and stays put all day with it’s crease-proof and self setting formula.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Main Match Concealer Doe Foot Applicator
I matched myself with The Bad Badaam shade at the launch event in July and I am really pleased with it. If you’re a shade twin, I think this might be a great one for you too. It has a really nice neutral tone and is very easy to blend.
Kulfi Beauty UK Main Match Concealer Swatch – Bad Badaam
I use it under my eyes and over any areas of hyperpigmentation and it works so well to even out my skin tone.
Kulfi Beauty Main Match Concealer shade – Bad Badaam
Here’s a list of my foundation matches in case it helps to choose your shade:
Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint shade 2 or 2.5
MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 shade 24
Sweed Glass Skin Foundation shade 5
Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow Healthy Glow Foundation shade 2N
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint shade 4 (£34)
Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 50 in Light Cool 3 (£39)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation in 2N (£39)
Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation in 310 (£47)
e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation in 20 Light Cool (£8)
Sisley Paris Phyto Teint Perfection Foundation in 2N1 (£80)
Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation in 250 (£49)
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation in 130 Light Warm £42)
NARS Light Reflecting Foundation in Deauville (£41)
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care and Glow Foundation shade 115C (£39.50)
Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation in 4 neutral (£39)
La Mer Radiant Skin Tint in Light 22 (£80)
Cle de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£108)
Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation Natural in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£121)
This is mousse-like cream shadow formula and it delivers high-impact shimmer in both duo-chrome and metallic finishes, with zero fallout. I have the shade Sitara Sparkes:
Kulfi Beauty UK Zari Eyes – swatch Sitari Sparkles
This kind of shadow is perfect for one-and-done eye looks and it also layers really nicely over my REESON Lid Elixir, which is great if you want to add in some wearable skincare.
Mehndi Moment Blush (£24) – Lucky Lotus Swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Mehndi Moment Blush
This is a super pigmented tube of blush and you only need a tiny bit. I have shade Lucky Lotus which is a vibrant purple shade, and probably not the one I’d choose for my skin tone.
Kulfi Beauty UK Mehndi Moment Blush Swatch – Lucky Lotus
I find that popping a small amount on to the back of your hand and then working it into a brush before applying is the most foolproof way of using it.
Heirloom Satin Lipstick (£28) – Bangle Box Swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Heirloom Satin Lipstick
The Heirloom Satin Lipstick might actually be my top pick from the whole collection. I have the shade Bangle Box which is a gorgeous soft pink.
I also really loved the look of Polki Dots, which has a beautiful peachy tone. It’s a gorgeous formula, and perfect for everyday wear. It is super comfortable and creamy. Love it.
I got on really well with this mascara. Think fluttery, natural length with serious staying power. It is a tubing mascara, so it’s long-lasting and smudge-proof. I really like the slim wand with the spiky ball on the end which is great for getting into the outer lashes and pulling them outwards.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Badi Lash Mascara
A little goes a long way with this, and it gives a nice lift to the lashes.

Final Thoughts on My Kulfi Beauty UK Review
If you’re thinking of trying something new when Kulfi Beauty launches in the UK, I can wholeheartedly recommend this range. The formulas are fun, easy to use, and they genuinely perform. Definitely try the Heirloom Satin Lipsticks if you are looking for an easy to wear, and comfortable lip colour, with gorgeous packaging.
This Kulfi Beauty UK review was such a pleasure to write, and I look forward to trying more products from the brand.

Worth: £150+/€180+
I absolutely love the Space NK Beauty Edits and this one is really gorgeous. Check out what’s inside the Space NK Summer Glow Edit right here. I have all the details here.
What is the Space NK Summer Glow Edit worth?
For the £65 price tag for this edit, you actually receive over £150 worth of products, so this is a very impressive value saving.
You will probably know that I am absolutely obsessed with these limited edition toiletry bags from Space NK. I have them in pretty much every colour and size and this new super cute peach version for the Space NK Summer Glow Edit is a very welcome addition indeed!
In terms of what’s inside, I really think this one will be a crowd pleaser. First of all, it features one of Space NK’s biggest hits of the season, their brand new Shimmering Body Oil. It was an instant sell out success, and right now, this is the only way you can get your hands on the Golden version. To find out more about those, read, Space NK Caribbean Shores Shimmer Body Oil Review.
I am a big fan of taking collagen, so this Vida Glow 6 Day Sample Pack* is a brilliant way to discover the different flavours that VG offer. It’s a brand I really enjoy.
Tatcha The Brightening Serum is a lovely light serum that’s great for brightening the skin and evening out pigmentation, and it will work really nicely under the Sunday Riley moisturiser that also comes in this edit.
The Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream is a serious glow giver and such a gorgeous product to use either alone or under makeup. It just makes skin look so lovely, plus the Vitamin C provides a tonne of antioxidant protection which is ideal for the summer months.
Westman Atelier Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick is a super subtle highlighter and will give subtle glow. It comes in a super cute travel-sized stick that’s easy to pop in your bag.
I haven’t tried the Innisfree Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream but I am very excited to. It is one of the brand’s best sellers, and it promises to plump, hydrate and even out skin tone.
Finally, also included is the Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser which is a light exfoliating formula that works to smooth out skin. I personally wou Refresh skin with this gently exfoliating cleanser formulated with pomegranate extract and apricot microspheres for smoother, brighter skin.
I think this is a really nicely curated set and it will give you the chance to access some of Space NK’s best sellers with a really good value proposition. Plus the peach bag is seriously cute!
Where to buy it
The Space NK Summer Glow Edit is £65 (with a value of £150+) and is available now via the link below, while stocks last. It will make a fab gift (to self!!)
These edits tend to sell out pretty quickly, so I wouldn’t hang around if you like the look of this one.

Comments Off on Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick Review & Swatch
*Links marked with asterisks are affiliate links, these help Ree with running costs of the blog
Priced at
Let me introduce you to Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick. I’ve been a long-time lover of the Clinique Almost Lipstick range, and like many, I really loved the cult-classic Black Honey. Then I tried the softer, Pink Honey, which I reviewed here. But now… there’s a new contender, and dare I say, it might just be my favourite of them all!
If you’re wondering how it compares to Black Honey and Pink Honey, I’ve got all the swatches, details and comparisons below.
What is Clinique Almost Lipstick?
Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick
Before we get into the gorgeousness that is Nude Honey, here’s a quick refresher.
Clinique Almost Lipstick is one of the brand’s most iconic formulas. It’s not quite a lipstick, not quite a balm, it’s that perfect hybrid of sheer colour, lightweight texture and a softly sheeny finish.
It’s incredibly flattering, super easy to apply (no mirror needed!), and has a cult following for good reason. If you’ve tried Black Honey, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick – My Review
First Impressions
Clinique Nude Honey
As soon as I opened the tube, I knew I was going to love Nude Honey. The bullet looks like a rich, warm nude, almost caramel-toned, but as with all the Almost Lipsticks, the real magic happens when you apply it.
Clinique Nude Honey Swatch
On the lips, Nude Honey transforms into a sheer, peachy-bronze tint that enhances your natural lip colour beautifully. It has that same “your lips but better” effect as Black Honey, but with a softer, more sun-kissed feel.
Texture & Formula
The formula is, as always, dreamy. It glides on effortlessly, giving a sheer wash of colour that builds slightly with each layer. It feels hydrating but not sticky and is like a nourishing lip balm in an elegant lipstick format.
This is the kind of product I can swipe on during the day for a polished, understated look, or pair with bronzy eyes (namely my REESON Lid Elixir in Toasted Cinnamon*) and glowing skin for a summery evening vibe.
Nude Honey vs Black Honey vs Pink Honey
If you managed to catch my previous post you’ll know that Black Honey was a firm favourite. It’s a deep berry tint that somehow suits everyone. Then came Pink Honey, a soft, muted pink that’s perfect for spring.
But now? I truly think Nude Honey is the best of the bunch. It’s the most wearable for every day, and it brings that subtle warmth to the face that just makes you look more alive.
Here’s a quick comparison:
Black Honey – rich sheer berry
Pink Honey – soft rosy pink
Nude Honey – sheer peachy nude
Swatches – Nude Honey, Black Honey & Pink Honey
Here are the swatches so you can really see the difference in tone:
You can see how Nude Honey has that golden, bronzy warmth. It’s perfect for enhancing a summer tan or giving your complexion a little lift.
Final Thoughts
Black Honey has always been my favourite, but I think Nude Honey has just topped it. If you’re after something low-maintenance, flattering, and a bit different to your usual nude lipstick, this is a must-try.
It’s the kind of lip colour that works with any look, from barely-there makeup to full glam.
Where to Buy Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick
You can find Clinique Nude Honey Almost Lipstick at all major Clinique retailers. It is available now via the links below:
