If there’s one thing Rihanna knows how to do (well, besides dominate music, fashion and basically the internet), it’s change the beauty game.
Since launching Fenty Beauty in 2017, Rihanna has consistently pushed the industry forward with her now-iconic “Beauty For All” philosophy. The brand famously debuted with 40 foundation shades – a move that forced the rest of the beauty world to rethink what inclusivity actually looks like on the shelf. Since then, the Fenty universe has grown to include Fenty Skin, Fenty Eau de Parfum and most recently Fenty Hair, each one built on the same idea that beauty should work for everyone.
But beyond the formulas, Rihanna has always understood something else about beauty: it’s supposed to be fun. Her launches tend to tap into the way people actually use beauty in real life – whether that’s a quick skin tint on a busy morning or a bath that feels a little more indulgent than usual.
Her latest drops lean into exactly that. From mood-boosting body care to dessert-inspired skincare and a complexion product made for the skinimalism era, here are three new Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin launches (all available at Sephora) currently creating buzz.
Body Balms To Transform Your Bathroom Into a Mini Spa
Body care used to be the forgotten step of a routine – a quick wash, maybe some moisturiser, and done. Lately though, it’s been getting a glow-up, with brands leaning into texture, scent and the idea that your shower can double as a small self-care moment.
Rihanna’s new Fenty Skin Body Collection taps straight into that shift. Instead of treating body products as purely functional, the range focuses on making the experience feel a bit more indulgent.
The lineup includes a thick, honey-like body wash that turns into silky suds, a bubble bath designed to create seriously plush foam, and a body mist that works as the final scent layer once you step out of the shower.
Rihanna explains the thinking behind it simply: “I’m about finding those moments just for you. Body care… that’s as personal as it gets. This collection is all about turning the everyday into the extra.”
Scent plays a big role in the collection too. There’s Hey, Bouquet, a brighter floral blend with jasmine, rose and a hit of citrus, and Vanilla Flowers, which leans softer and warmer with notes of vanilla, musk and sugared woods.
The whole idea feels less about adding another product to your routine and more about slowing down a moment that usually gets rushed.
Skin Care That Smells Like Dessert
If you’ve noticed vanilla-scented beauty products popping up everywhere lately, you’re not imagining it. Gourmand scents – the kind that smell sweet, creamy or edible – are having a major moment.
Fenty Skin is leaning right into that trend with the return of two scents fans have been asking for since they first appeared as limited editions: Vanilla Dream and Cacao.
Both quickly built a cult following, partly because they sit somewhere between skincare and fragrance. Vanilla Dream blends vanilla, pink sugar and coconut into something that feels warm and comforting, while Cacao leans richer and slightly chocolatey.
Rihanna summed up the appeal pretty well when she said, “These products are my go-to’s for hydration on every level and it all smells as good as it feels.”
The Vanilla Dream scent now appears across two body moisturisers — one richer and buttery, the other lighter and more lotion-like — while the Cacao scent returns in a pair of lip products, including the brand’s popular Plush Puddin’ lip mask.
What makes the whole thing appealing isn’t just the scent. It’s that these formulas still sit firmly in the skincare category, packed with nourishing oils, butters and hydrating ingredients that actually do something for the skin.
The dessert vibe just happens to be a bonus.
Better For Your Face base
While body care is getting more indulgent, makeup is going the opposite way. Lately the beauty conversation has shifted toward lighter coverage, breathable formulas and products that let real skin show through.
Enter the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint.
Rather than behaving like a traditional foundation, the tint offers light-to-medium coverage that evens out the complexion without looking overly polished. It’s the kind of product people tend to reach for when they want their skin to look good, but not obviously “done.”
The formula uses something called Quickblur Complex to help soften the look of pores and fine lines, while sodium hyaluronate adds a bit of hydration. It’s also designed to handle sweat and humidity reasonably well – a useful detail for Australian weather.
Like most Fenty complexion products, shade inclusivity is a big part of the story. The tint comes in 25 flexible shades designed to align with the brand’s well-known Pro Filt’r foundation range, making it easier for existing fans to find their match.
The packaging is refreshingly simple too. A small dropper bottle lets you control exactly how much product you use, which fits neatly with the whole “less is more” makeup mood right now.
