Welcome to Red Lip Rundown, a digest for all things beauty curated by Saba Bokhari.

I am so grateful for all who have subscribed and shared, and I’m excited to keep this rundown coming your way!

Have we seen Dolce&Gabbana Beauty’s Fefè fragrance mist launch?

It is indeed real, with “notes of ylang ylang, musk, and sandalwood.”

I just so happen to know the perfect consumer for this product … 

(Rosie was a Hair Tokker for Halloween last year - a beauty girl like her mom) 

P.S. Halloween searches are starting now - food for thought for readers in content roles out there!

Without further ado, let’s dive into the rundown!
