The rush of celebrities launching beauty brands continues, with DJ Khaled expanding his empire with a men’s grooming range and Alex Rodriguez launching men’s makeup with Hims & Hers. This week also saw a new brand launch from Huda Beauty and a new skin care category launch from Merci Handy.

The five fragrances—“I Am Verdant,” “Witchy Woo,” “Magnetic 70,” “Free 00,” and “Georgette”—are packaged in bottles that contain a naturally sourced and energetically charged Herkimer diamond to clear the body’s chakras and allow spiritual energy to flow. The bottles are refillable and the packaging has been created from 100 percent recycled and recyclable fibers. The brand has plans to launch candles, incense, and other wellness products for the body and home. The fragrances cost 135 pounds.

Merci Handy: The brand said its “unicorn selected two magical plants aloe vera and hemp,” the foundation of its new Magic Plants Skincare Range formulated with at least 95% natural origin ingredients.
