What It Is: BH Cosmetics and New Zealand-based YouTube star Shaaanxo have joined forces again, this time to create an exciting new 18-shade eye shadow palette.
Why You Need It: From what we've seen of the palette so far, the color selection is to die for: It's a mix of ultra-wearable neutrals, together with on trend shades, like burgundy, rose gold and champagne -- as well as a striking hot pink that's fittingly named "Barbie."
How to Get It: Launch date TBD, on bhcosmetics.com.

E.L.F. Cosmetics x ThatsHeart
What It Is: Los Angeles-based Filipina beauty blogger Heart Defensor (aka ThatsHeart) has teamed up with E.L.F. Cosmetics for a gorgeous highlighter duo.
Why You Need It: The palette includes a peachy rose gold, as well as a high-octane champagne -- two very of-the-moment, must-have shades. Plus, the duo comes housed in a beautiful, rose gold compact emblazoned with Defensor's signature (and a heart, of course). Suffice it to say, this $8 palette will make a gorgeous addition to your collection of budget highlighters
How to Get It: Launched October 4 on elfcosmetics.com.
What It Is: Laverne Cox debuted a stunning metallic manicure at the Emmy Awards... and it turns out, the beautiful shades are part of her newly announced collaboration with Orly Beauty. The limited edition capsule collection, Celebrate Yourself, contains six different nail lacquers, and retails for $49. As Cox herself said in a press release from the brand, "This collection is about red carpet glamour and giving everyone the opportunity to feel that glamour in their day-to-day lives."
Why You Need It: Come on, don't you want to rock the same colors as a red carpet-ready Laverne Cox? She wore the glittery jet black Androgynie with the sparkly silver Shine at the Emmys, and the other four colors are equally fab. Best of all, Cox has said that proceeds from the collection's sales will go towards Hurricane Harvey and Irma relief.
How to Get It: Launched September 17 on orlycosmetics.com.

M.A.C. x Nicki Minaj
What It Is: Nicki Minaj has teamed up with M.A.C. to release a collection of 24 nude lipsticks -- two of which are actually designed by Minaj herself. Perhaps best of all, this lippie collection might just be the harbinger for something even cooler in the M.A.C. x Nicki Minaj future -- because Minaj noted via Instagram that the two lipsticks are a "tease" for something bigger coming in 2018.
Why You Need It: The two Minaj-designed shades, Nicki's Nude, a midtone creamy pink, and The Pinkprint, a soft corally pink, are pretty much a must-have for fans of the rapper. They have special pink casings, and -- drumroll, please -- they're limited edition.
ColourPop x Karen Gonzalez Collection, $69 (total)
Features: Two eye shadow palettes ($18 each), two liquid matte lipsticks ($6 each), a lip gloss ($6) and three lip pencils ($5 each)
What It Is: Karen Gonzalez, or better known as iluvsarahii on Instagram, is teaming up with ColourPop Cosmetics to release her own collection, which features a neutral eye shadow palette, a deep purple/coral palette, burgundy and nude matte lipsticks, a peachy lip gloss and three matching lip pencils (sold separately).
Why You Need It: If you're a true beauty junkie, then you probably have a different parade of products you break out each season. And because there are so many opportunities to be seen in the summer (think: rooftop happy hours, all-day pool parties, romantic beach picnics) Gonzalez just made life 10 times easier by providing two eye shadow palettes that speak to whatever the season brings. Whether you're going for natural, beachy vibes with her neutral eye shadow palette (Chic-y) or are channeling the bold, romantic side of summer with the deep purple/coral palette ($aucey), she's got your summer makeup covered.
And that goes for her new lip products too. Swipe on the matte nude lipstick or peachy gloss for a sexy surfer look, or apply the deep burgundy for your next seaside dinner date.
