Sometimes, beauty works best when it steps outside its comfort zone. This winter, Sephora Collection is turning up the heat with an unexpected collaboration. The makeup line has partnered with Tabasco, the world’s most iconic hot sauce, to reinvent its cult-favorite Outrageous Plump lip gloss in a decidedly spicy limited edition.
The result? A drop that plays with Tabasco’s instantly recognizable codes, transforms makeup into a sensory experience, and fully embraces the idea that beauty can make things hot, literally.
At first glance, the pairing might seem surprising. But chili pepper extracts have long been used in cosmetics for their stimulating, plumping effects. Sephora Collection leans into that logic, blending capsaicin with the volumizing formula of its best-selling gloss.
From the first swipe, the product delivers a noticeable tingling heat, a direct nod to Tabasco’s DNA. It’s not subtle, and that’s the point. The sensation is designed as a signature, turning a routine beauty gesture into something playful and experiential. Here, spice isn’t a gimmick; it’s the shared language between two brands that seem worlds apart.
Four Shades, Four Levels Of Fire
Much like Tabasco’s sauces, the collection comes in varying degrees of intensity, visual and sensory alike.
Jalapeño offers a sheer, translucent green for those who like a gentle kick. Sriracha leans into a warm, appetizing brown. Tabasco Red delivers a glossy, iconic red that feels instantly recognizable. And for the boldest, Extreme Heat goes all in with a deep black shade accented by subtle reflections, a full-on beauty statement.
Each shade lets users choose their heat level without compromising comfort.
Beyond the formula, Sephora Collection takes the concept all the way into the design. Each gloss comes wrapped in a silicone sleeve inspired by Tabasco’s label, complete with a keyring and a chili pepper charm.
It’s a playful detail that turns the product into a pop accessory, something to clip onto a bag, makeup pouch, or belt loop. You’re not just buying a gloss, but a small, fun object meant to live beyond the bathroom shelf.
With this collaboration, Sephora Collection proves that makeup can embrace humor, boldness, and cultural crossover without losing its performance edge. By borrowing from Tabasco’s culinary universe, the brand transforms a classic beauty product into a sensory, almost mischievous experience.
