Beauty Notes | 11 November ’26
Sol de Janeiro Taps Aurelia Nobels
Sol de Janeiro has teamed up with Brazilian racing driver Aurelia Nobels on a brand-new scent, Aurelia. Nobels, who was the first woman on the grid in Brazilian F4 and has raced in F1 Academy and GB3, took inspiration from her Brazilian roots when creating the perfume mist. The tropical scent blends notes of passionfruit, red poppy, and fresh coconut, and is housed in an orange and yellow ombré bottle with bold graphic lines inspired by speed. It’s available now in the US for a limited time at soldejaneiro.com.
NYX Drops Stain Loud
NYX’s latest launch is two products in one. It’s Stain Loud, a dual-ended stick with a lip stain on one end and a matching gloss on the other. The stain features a precise marker tip for easy application and ink-like pigments for long-lasting colour, while the gloss gives a high-shine, vanilla-scented finish. With 20 shade combinations to choose from, Stain Loud is designed to give you a full lip look in just two quick swipes. It’s available now at nyxcosmetics.com in the US and amazon.co.uk in the UK.

There are three versions on offer: Coffee+ is the everyday all-rounder; Coffee+ Collagen is the beauty-focused one, with 10g of collagen per serving plus biotin and B vitamins; and Coffee+ Creatine Pro is all about performance, with the addition of creatine and ashwagandha. The trio is available at spacegoods.com, shipping to both the UK and US.
Oura to Buy AI Health Start-Up Counsel
Oura, the smart ring brand, has agreed to buy AI-powered primary care company Counsel Health in a deal worth $625 million. Counsel pairs medical AI with in-house clinicians, enabling its users to ask health questions, get personalised advice, and, if needed, be connected with a board-certified doctor within minutes. The two companies already work together, but once the deal closes, which is expected before the end of the year, Counsel will officially become part of Oura, drawing on the ring’s health data. Tom Hale, CEO of Oura, says the goal is to have “a 24-7 doctor in your pocket”.
