Seoul – October 19, 2026 -- Korean beauty brand MARSHIQUE's targeted wrinkle and lifting patches are now on Ulta.com, with prices ranging from $16 to $25 and in-store availability starting November 1.

The online launch went live on October 18. The brand will then appear in 504 Ulta Beauty stores nationwide on November 1. Ulta Beauty operates more than 1,500 stores and is the largest specialty beauty retailer in the United States.

Patches aim at specific areas of the face and neck

MARSHIQUE is bringing its complete patch range to the U.S. The patches target the appearance of wrinkles around the frown lines, smile lines, forehead, eye area and neck. A separate set of lifting patches is designed for the appearance of facial contours.

The idea is to apply a patch directly to the area of concern rather than use a one-size-fits-all routine. The line began with a frown line patch and has since grown to cover the other areas.

Lewes – October 19, 2026 -- HiBy's new RS2 II portable Hi-Fi player costs US$439 in its aluminum alloy edition, weighs 156g and uses the same DARWIN III audio architecture as the company's flagship RS8 II.

A flagship audio engine runs on an FPGA with 40 DSP units

DARWIN III is built around a newly developed FPGA digital engine with more than 35K logic units and 40 high-speed DSP units. That processing power drives adjustable pure FIR filters, multiple DARWIN filters, harmonic control, NOS/OS switching and native DSD processing. A high-precision R2R resistor network handles digital-to-analog conversion, which HiBy says helps reduce high-frequency noise introduced by digital modulation.

Port Neches – October 18, 2026 -- Before a propane supplier can legally refill your cylinder, federal rules require a check of its stamped markings and a visual inspection for damage, and Texas owners whose tanks fail may be turned away.

Stamped markings must be reviewed before every refill

The U.S. Department of Transportation regulates the manufacture, marking, and maintenance of portable pressurized cylinders. Under its rules, each cylinder must carry identifying information stamped into the collar or handle area: the manufacture date, the cylinder specification, and any requalification dates from earlier inspections. A filling station attendant must review that information before refilling.

Inspectors look for five warning signs

The visual check is designed to catch conditions that make a cylinder unsafe to pressurize. Inspectors look for:

Dubai – – October 17, 2026 -- UAE residents can see LG's new OLED evo W6 True Wireless Wallpaper TV in person at pop-up locations across the country this winter, and one visitor will win the TV at the end of the campaign.

The tour starts at The Lotus Lounge at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort and runs from 16 to 19 October 2026. LG describes the stop as the regional debut of the W6.

The W6 is 9.95 mm deep and has no cable clutter

The W6 mounts flush against the wall with zero gaps. LG's Zero Connect wireless technology sends lossless 4K video and audio to an AV box placed up to 10 meters away, so no cables are visible.

It is also billed as the world's first True Wireless TV to transmit 4K at 165Hz. It supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Variable Refresh Rate, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.

Sheridan – October 16, 2026 -- The YiHouse Doublethick washable rug measures about 0.46 inches thick, compared with roughly 0.22 inches for standard washable rugs, and the entire one-piece rug fits in a household washing machine. YiHouse has launched YiHouse.com to sell the collection to U.S. consumers. The rugs are already available on Amazon.

Thin washable rugs prompted the redesign

YiHouse says it reviewed publicly available consumer feedback and repeatedly found complaints about thin construction, limited cushioning and a lack of softness. Some reviewers compared competing washable rugs to a bed sheet laid on the floor.

Los Angeles – October 16, 2026 -- MagBak has opened pre-orders for the MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo, an $89 case designed for the first folding Apple phone, with new orders expected to ship in mid-November. Initial pre-orders have already sold out twice.

A foldable changes shape dozens of times a day, and the case is built around that. Ronny I., MagBak's head of product, said the aim was a case that works across multiple form factors, whether the phone is open or folded.

A kickstand and finger loop work in both open and folded modes

The built-in metal kickstand supports portrait or landscape use, folded or unfolded, and clicks away when not in use. A silicone finger loop makes one-handed and two-handed use more stable, extends how much of the screen a thumb can reach, retracts when not in use, and does not interfere with charging. Grip grooves along the edge make the case easier to open.

Irvine – – October 16, 2026 -- ROKFORM's iPhone Duo Rugged Case for Apple's first foldable iPhone is available for pre-order at $89.99, with shipping estimated for October 30, 2026.

The case covers both screens and the hinge

ROKFORM says the case offers 360-degree protection and a reinforced hinge that does not restrict the fold. Tempered glass is built in over the outer display, so owners do not need a separate screen protector.

Shock-absorbing TPU and rigid polycarbonate make up the body. The profile is 4.15mm thick, and the case weighs 86 grams.

MAGMAX magnets hold 2–3 times more than standard cases

Integrated MAGMAXTM magnets give 2–3 times the magnetic holding power of standard cases, according to the company. They grip compatible magnetic surfaces, mounts, chargers and accessories, and the case supports MagSafe® functionality.
