Danessa Myricks Beauty Drops Lightwork VIII Freedom Palette, an 18-Shade Trip Around the World

Published

on

Danessa Myricks Beauty is back with the drop its community waits for every year. Lightwork VIII, the eighth limited-edition palette in the Lightwork series, officially launched October 16 — following early access through the Sephora app on October 15 — with 18 shades, seven finishes and a $132 price tag at danessamyricksbeauty.com and Sephora.

The palette is inspired by the iconic terrains and celestial wonders founder Danessa Myricks has encountered on her travels, translating earth and sky into wearable color. It is built on the brand’s signature Freedom System: a magnetic, stackable and customizable format that splits the 18 shades across three six-pan mini palettes, each with its own color story, so wearers can rearrange, stack and pair the minis with other Freedom System palettes to build a personal color universe.

The shade range moves from sun-scorched warmth to glowing chromes. Sahara Glow brings a rose-gold champagne metallic and Canyon Clay a toasted-terracotta matte, while Molten Magma shifts from crimson red to golden green and Horizon Kiss pairs yellow gold with an electric-teal shift. Bedrock anchors the lineup in rich chocolate brown, Twilight Sky lands in vibrant lavender with an icy-blue metallic finish, and Night Rock closes it out in deep plum. Across the palette, the finishes run from mattes and velvet metallics to marbled multichromes and foil flakes.

True to Myricks’ long-held position that makeup should not come with a rulebook, Lightwork VIII is designed for eyes and face and made to work with fingers or brushes — as approachable for someone picking up a first palette as it is for a professional artist. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free, and as a limited-edition release, it is available only while stock lasts.

Victoria’s Secret PINK is getting into the collaboration game. The brand has launched The PINK Mini Bar, a new beauty destination built around exclusive collaborations with nine fan-favorite brands — the first time PINK has opened its beauty shelves to outside names in this way.

The lineup reads like a viral-beauty honor roll: Patchology, Touchland, Vacation, Mario Badescu, Wet Brush, Kiss, Fazit, Clean Skin Club and SpaLife. The collection debuts with 16 exclusive products priced from $4 to $25, each given the PINK treatment with playful details, signature graphics and limited-edition packaging.

The highlights lean into what each partner does best. Patchology’s under-eye patches arrive dressed in PINK’s signature polka dots and logo, while Touchland’s best-selling Wild Watermelon Hand Sanitizer comes with custom PINK icon stickers. Vacation contributes a trio of its cult-favorite SPF essentials in an exclusive PINK belt bag, Mario Badescu pairs its Watermelon Facial Spray with a custom PINK charm, and Wet Brush’s Mini Detangler gets extra sparkle from pink crystal embellishments. Kiss press-on nails, Fazit’s viral Speckles, Clean Skin Club’s Clean Towels and SpaLife face masks round out the bar.

The concept expands PINK’s beauty offering beyond its core assortment, creating a discovery destination where customers can experiment with skincare staples, haircare must-haves and on-the-go accessories in one place. The PINK Mini Bar launched online at vspink.com on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and lands in PINK stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with dedicated beauty sections bringing the collection to life in store.
