Pantone Color of the Year 2025
It’s official: the Pantone Color of the Year 2025 is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. Described as “a warming rich brown hue,” it “nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort.” Mocha Mousse also combines subtle elegance with earthy refinement, as do most nude-ish shades. May it remind us to honor our environment as we go about our modern pursuits.

Along with the announcement of 2025 color of the year, Pantone also reveals collaborations with selected brands in celebration of Mocha Mousse. Included in these partnerships is beauty subscription service IPSY. Targeted for release in April 2025 is an exclusive IPSY collection of a makeup bag, brushes, sponges, and more–all in Mocha Mousse, of course. I love how this gives us a visual of things to come next year for the beauty industry! I for one can hardly wait for what the next year brings.

Native x Dunkin
If you’re like me, just passing by a Dunkin branch and enjoying a whiff of their doughnuts is enough to brighten your day. If you ever found yourself thinking, ‘I wish I could smell like that,’ well, we have the collab for you. Introducing Native x Dunkin: a personal care product range including body wash, lotion, deodorant, shampoo, and conditioner–all smelling like your favorite doughnut! Available in four (4) scents: Boston Kreme (buttery sugar, cream, and vanilla notes), Vanilla Sprinkle (vanilla, coconut, and citrus notes), Strawberry Frosted (strawberry, sugar, and cream notes), Blueberry Cobbler (blueberry, apple, and caramel notes).

Teviant x Hello Kitty
I totally didn’t see this one coming: Teviant x Hello Kitty is live now! Teviant releases a limited-edition collection In honor of Hello Kitty’s 50th birthday. Front and center is the Teviant x Hello Kitty Hair & Body Mist in Debutante (P995), a long-lasting fresh and warm fragrance for hair and body. With Pineapple and Mixed Berries as top notes, White Floral middle note, and a Powdery Musk base, it definitely sounds like a cheerful mix of sugar, spice, and everything nice! It’s definitely a must-have for Sanrio collectors: that bottle is so incredibly cute!

Six (6) limited edition shades of Teviant Lip Affair (P695) are included in the collection, two shades per lippie formula. If velvet creams are your jam, the two Lip Filter shades are Sweet Girl (bubble gum pink) and Empowered (perfect nude beige). For those who like a healthy-looking gloss, the Teviant x Hello Kitty Lip Vinyl shades are Vacation (brick) and Memories (blush pink). Level up your shine with Lip Glass shades 54 (peach with iridescent pearl) and Superstar (soft melon with golden pearl). I am living for the pink shades, but also love the nuance in the nude, peach, and red shades.
