New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

KORRES has released its Advent Calendar 2026, a 24-day skincare and body care calendar priced at $134 in the US and £99 in the UK, which went on sale in September 2026. The Greek brand describes it as "the best of 30 years of KORRES." It says the contents are worth over $472 if bought separately.

Key Details

The calendar marks 30 years of KORRES. It holds 24 boxes: six full-size products, 17 travel minis and an ornament as an extra gift. The calendar itself costs $134 in the US. KORRES says buying the same items one by one would cost over $472. The brand has not published individual prices or item sizes, and it has not said which products are full size.

In an Instagram post, KORRES called the calendar "the best deal of the year." The brand also said it includes "a few Greece-exclusive products" that US shoppers can only get through the 2026 Advent Calendar. KORRES has not said which items these are.

The Design

The theme is "Under The Gold & Silver Sky", which KORRES says is inspired by a Greek winter fairytale. Each box shows a tama, a traditional keepsake that the brand says stands for love, wishes and holiday warmth. The boxes can be turned and rearranged to complete four puzzles, and each puzzle reveals a new chapter of the story. The packaging uses gold and silver foils, green accents and embossed details. KORRES pairs the theme with the line "The stories we keep and the beauty we give to one another."

What's Notable

• Greek Yoghurt is the largest facial line in the calendar. It supplies a cleanser, a serum, a gel-cream and an eye gel roller. Together they cover the usual order of cleanse, serum, then moisturise.
• Scents repeat across the body care. Basil Lemon, Santorini Grape, Citrus and Olive Blossom each appear more than once, as shower gels, body milks or a body cream. This lets you pair a wash with a matching lotion.
• Anti-ageing lines are included. The calendar has Black Pine and White Pine products, plus two Wild Rose Vitamin Super C formulas. KORRES positions these lines for wrinkles, brightening and, in the White Pine product's name, menopause-related skin concerns. These are the brand's claims.

Balmain has launched Vanille Sculptée, a gourmand amber Eau de Parfum built on five vanilla notes. It went on sale in Australia at David Jones in October 2026, priced at A$280 for 50ml. The launch was first spotted by ScentAdvice on Instagram. The fragrance is listed as "New In" at David Jones, and an Italian retailer expects stock from November 2026. It does not yet appear on Balmain's US site.

What's New

Vanille Sculptée carries the taglines "Luminous Vanilla & Spicy Baies Rose" and "Sculpted Sensuality." Balmain describes it as "the glow of vanilla sculpted into a work of undeniable depth," with "five distinctive vanilla notes" that layer on each other and move "from nocturnal shadow into luminous light."

The brand also calls it "a work of architectural precision sparked with the scent of peppery baies rose." It says the composition is "grounded in the shimmering, woody sensual scent of Ambrofix™."

Key Details: The Notes

Balmain's official note list is:

• Baies rose (pink pepper): the spicy opening accent
• Vanilla absolute and Vanilla Super: the two named vanilla materials at the heart of the scent
• Ambrofix™ and glowing amber woods: the woody-amber structure
• Benzoin resinoid: a resinous, balsamic base

Fragrance coverage from iFragrance notes that the benzoin gives the drydown a resinous, balsamic finish. This places the scent squarely in the warm gourmand-amber category.

The Bottle and Sizes

The bottle continues the "sculpted" theme. It is amber-gold glass with fine horizontal ridges, a black label and a gold cap.

David Jones offers three formats:

• A 10ml travel spray
• The 50ml bottle
• A 150ml refill

The 150ml refill means the bottle can be topped up rather than replaced.

Release Date and Prices

• Australia: on sale now (October 2026) at David Jones. Prices are A$69 for 10ml, A$280 for 50ml and A$590 for the 150ml refill.
• Italy: listed at €180 for 50ml, with availability from November 2026. The retailer lists it under the spelling "Vanille Esculptée."
• US and UK: Balmain has not yet announced a launch date or local pricing.

How to Wear It

The scent is a dense gourmand amber Eau de Parfum. A light application of one or two sprays to pulse points is a practical starting point. The 10ml travel spray is the lowest-cost way to try the scent before committing to the 50ml bottle.

If your signature scent leans warm, sweet, and just a little dessert-inspired, Le Monde Gourmand has a new mini set with your name on it. The Le Petit Duo Set: Crème pairs two of the brand's gourmand Eau de Parfums — Crème Vanille and the limited-edition Pumpkin Crème — in travel-friendly 20 ml bottles tucked inside a red gift box. Spotted on Sephora Italia and currently listed for €38, it's a tempting way to try both scents before committing to a full size.

Inside the Le Petit Duo Set: Crème

The set brings together two of Le Monde Gourmand's cosiest gourmands in 20 ml minis. The brand sells both scents in full-size 30 ml bottles, shown in the photos below.

Crème Vanille Eau de Parfum

An elevated vanilla the brand describes as timeless and nostalgic, with a smooth, ambery warmth. The pyramid opens on creamy apricot, melts into a heart of vanilla orchid, and settles on a base of brown sugar and golden amber. One reviewer says it's "like being hugged by a vanilla bean" — ideal if you want a soft, everyday signature that isn't cloying.

Best for: vanilla lovers, year-round wear, layering fans.

Pumpkin Crème Eau de Parfum

A limited-edition fall scent that takes classic pumpkin spice in a creamy, comforting direction. Top notes of Pumpkin Spice give way to nutmeg and frothed milk, with a cosy base of musk and sandalwood.

Best for: autumn obsessives, sweater-weather commutes, anyone who wants a spiced-gourmand twist on vanilla.

Layering Tip: Vanilla + Pumpkin Spice

Le Monde Gourmand is built for mixing, and these two were practically made to be layered. Spray Pumpkin Crème first on pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows), then layer Crème Vanille on top — the creamy apricot and vanilla orchid soften the spice and extend the drydown into something milky, warm, and dessert-like. For extra longevity, apply an unscented body oil or lotion to clean skin before spritzing, and avoid rubbing your wrists together.

Where to Buy

• US: Set not yet confirmed. Full-size 30 ml bottles of Crème Vanille ($28) and Pumpkin Crème ($28) are available at gourmandbeauty.com.
• UK: Not yet confirmed.
• International: Listed at Sephora Italia for €38 per Italian coverage.

If your beauty mood board has turned to burgundy leaves and candlelit copper, Dyson has a hair tool to match. The new Dyson Plum/Copper Special Edition brings an autumnal colourway to the brand's hair-care range: a deep plum body with copper and brass accents, paired with a black-and-copper storage case. Italian beauty fans are already calling it an "extremely autumnal mood". Dyson's US site labels the shades "NEW Special edition". Here's what's in the range and what each tool costs.

In the US, the Airwrap i.d. comes in both Straight+Wavy and Curly+Coily versions at the same price.

Why the Supersonic Nural Stands Out

The Dyson Supersonic Nural is the most affordable tool in the US line-up ($449.99), and it has the most built-in technology. It is designed to protect both your hair and your scalp:

• Scalp protect mode: a time-of-flight sensor measures how far the dryer is from your head and lowers the heat as you get closer. Dyson claims a 3x stronger scalp barrier and up to 96% more shine.
• Attachment learning: each magnetic attachment is recognised and remembers your last-used settings.
• Pause detect: when you put the dryer down, it cuts the heat and reduces airflow.
• Five attachments, including the Wave+Curl diffuser, Styling concentrator and Flyaway attachment.
• Three speeds, four heat levels and a cold shot to set your style.

Many reviewers mention faster drying. One reviewer says their blow-dry went from 45 minutes to 20.

Styling Tips for Your New Tool

• Reaching the back of your head: turn the attachment 45° and dry slowly from root to ends.
• Monthly filter care: soak the magnetic filter cage in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes, then rinse, dry and wipe the filter clean. This keeps airflow strong.
• Curls and coils: use the diffuser's dome mode to define waves. Use diffuse mode for volume at the root.
• Using Attachment learning: switch off Scalp protect mode first, using the button on the clear end cap.

Is the Plum/Copper Edition Worth It?

These Special Edition tools work the same as the standard versions. You're paying for the colour and the matching case. If you've been waiting to buy, the plum and copper finish makes an easy choice for a seasonal treat or a gift.

Where to Buy

• US: Dyson: Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy ($649.99), Airwrap i.d. Curly+Coily ($649.99), Supersonic Nural ($449.99), Supersonic r ($549.99), Airstrait ($499.99)
• UK: Dyson UK: Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy (£479.99), Airwrap Co-anda2x Straight+Wavy (£579.99), Supersonic Nural Straight+Wavy (£349.99), Airstrait (£349.99)

Welcome to Beneville, the fictional town behind Benefit Cosmetics' Holiday 2026 gift sets. Each box is a collectible building or vehicle: a town-hall clock tower, a pink tower, a golf-club tin, a flower shop, a mini-mart, a radio, a bus and even an ice-cream cone. Inside are the brand's bestsellers, including BADgal BANG!, Hoola, Benetint and 24-HR Brow Setter. The sets are on sale now, and Italian beauty fans have spotted them at Sephora Italy too. Here are the products, the prices and our picks for each type of beauty lover.

• Mascara fans: The Lash Scoop gives you two full-size BADgal BANG! mascaras. Use the classic for everyday and the waterproof for parties. BADgal Hypetower adds a waterproof gel liner.
• Full-face beginners: The Glam Golf Club covers every step in travel sizes. Apply the POREfessional primer first, then the mascara, Benetint on lips and cheeks, Hoola to warm the face and WILLA for a soft rose flush.
• Cheek palette fans: Beauty Bus Stop packs bronzer, blush and highlighter into one slim palette that fits a clutch.
• Best value: The Glam Golf Club costs £34.00 at Lookfantastic. Buying each item separately would cost £68.61. For a bigger splurge, The Hotel Beneville costs £149.00 against a value if bought separately of £307.41.

Spooky season just got scarier. Glamlite, the brand known for its pop-culture collaborations, has launched The Conjuring & Annabelle Horror Box, marketed as the "5 Days of Horror Box." It's the brand's first-ever limited-edition horror box, officially licensed from Warner Bros.' The Conjuring and Annabelle films, and it comes with a twist: you won't know what's inside until it's revealed.

What's New: Glamlite's First Horror Mystery Box

Glamlite is known for its themed, pop-culture collections, but this launch is new in two ways. It's the brand's first dedicated horror box, and it's a true mystery box. The box holds five full-sized products, revealed one at a time over five days under the tagline "5 days. 5 mystery products. 5 horrifying reveals."

The products are not revealed before purchase, so the shades, formulas and product types are still under wraps. We'll update this post as each reveal drops.

The Packaging

From the first images, the box itself is a collectible:

• Outside: dark haunted-house and forest artwork with a hanging noose, a holographic rainbow foil streak, red dripping "HORROR" lettering and The Conjuring and Annabelle logos.
• Inside: a holographic lid and an insert with five numbered compartments (1 to 5), decorated with a spider web, crime-scene tape, bats, a bare tree and blood splatter. One compartment shows a small cylindrical item, but its identity is still a mystery.

Release Date and How the Reservation Works

The box is available now as an exclusive reservation for $90. The key details:

• Orders won't begin processing until 12 October 2026 or later. That's the estimated shipping start date.
• Your purchase guarantees a box once reservation orders begin fulfilment.
• Because of the mystery format, all sales are final. No returns or exchanges are accepted.

Tips Before You Reserve

• Buy for the experience. This box suits horror fans and collectors who enjoy the surprise. If you only want specific shades, wait for the reveals.
• Plan your Halloween looks loosely. With shipping starting 12 October, the box could arrive in time for Halloween. Delivery timing isn't guaranteed, though, so have a backup plan for any event.
• Patch-test anything new. Check each product's labelling when it arrives and follow its usage guidance.

Where to Buy

• US: Glamlite ($90)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

As far as we can confirm, the box is not sold at Ulta or other retailers. Glamlite's official site is the only place to reserve it.

Will you take a chance on the mystery, or wait for all five reveals? Either way, The Conjuring & Annabelle Horror Box looks set to be one of the most talked-about Halloween makeup drops of the season.

Lilly Lashes has given its Everyday Collection style Blushing a glue-free makeover. The new Blushing Self-Adhesive Lash Kit launched on 2 October 2026 and brings the brand's flirty, fluttery Blushing lash to its peel-and-press line. If lash glue has ever left you with sticky fingertips or a lifting corner by lunchtime, this one deserves a spot in your makeup bag.

What's New: Blushing Goes Glue-Free

Blushing is described as the flirtiest style in the Everyday Collection. It's a round, fluttery lash made from multiple layers of hand-placed 13mm faux mink fibres on a soft cotton band. The result is a subtle lift in volume rather than full drama, so it works well with daytime makeup. It's also designed to be worn with glasses.

The 2026 kit pairs that style with Lilly Lashes' self-adhesive band. The band is pre-glued and activated by body heat, so you don't need separate lash glue. The brand compares it to sticky boob tape technology. Other claims include:

• No glue needed: you can apply and reposition the lashes in seconds
• 24-hour hold, according to the brand
• Reusable for 5+ wears per pair, based on a consumer panel study of 25 people
• A black lash band that looks like eyeliner
• A pillowy, lightweight band for all-day comfort

Each kit includes two pairs of 3D faux mink lashes and an applicator. The launch post on the brand's Instagram calls it a special-edition pink applicator.

Price: Is It Worth It?

The kit costs $34 on the Lilly Lashes site. The regular glue-on Blushing strip lash is $20 for one pair. With the kit you get two pairs, built-in adhesive and a tool. If you reuse each pair several times, the cost per wear is very reasonable. The site also offers free standard shipping on orders of $35 or more.

How to Apply Self-Adhesive Lashes

1. Prep: Curl your natural lashes and add a light coat of mascara if you like.
2. Measure and trim: Peel the lashes off their holders and trim them to fit your eye.
3. Place: Lay the band along your lash line and wait about 30 seconds so your body heat can warm the adhesive.
4. Press: Press the band into your lash line.

Care Tips to Make Them Last

• If the band loses some grip, warm it with a hair dryer for a few seconds and apply again.
• Always store the lashes on their original holders to keep them sticky and in shape.
• After 2–3 wears, wipe the band with water or an oil-free makeup remover. This cleans it and brings back the tack.
• When the band stops sticking, you can still wear the lashes with lash glue like a standard strip lash.

Keep the lashes out of your eyes, and stop using them if irritation occurs.

Finding a gift for the man who says he "doesn't really do skincare" just got easier. The GLOSSYBOX Grooming Gift Guide is a limited-edition festive box with 8 grooming essentials from NUXE, Molton Brown, Philip Kingsley, Aromatherapy Associates and more, all packed into a sleek navy grooming bag. GLOSSYBOX describes it as "the gift of great grooming," curated to refresh, refine and elevate his routine. It costs £40, and buying the same products one by one would cost over £156.

The Grooming Kit is part of GLOSSYBOX's Christmas Edits, alongside the Advent Calendar, Christmas Stocking and Christmas Cracker in the GLOSSYBOX Christmas Collection 2026.

Release Date & Prices

The Grooming Gift Guide is available now (October 2026). It's priced at £40, and GLOSSYBOX subscribers pay £35. You can also split the cost into 4 interest-free payments of £10. Stock usually ships within 24 hours, so it works for early planners and last-minute shoppers alike.

The Products Inside

Here's the full line-up, with GLOSSYBOX's own worth figures:

• NUXE Men [BOOST]³ Eau de Parfum (full size, worth over £47). The bottle is labelled "NUXE men Le Parfum." Its formula lists Atlas cedar, patchouli, bergamot and lemon oils, and it's labelled vegan.
• Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel (full size, worth £42). A cooling blend of rosemary, eucalyptus, ginger, black pepper and juniper.
• AKT London The Deodorant Balm 'After Thunder' (full size, worth £21). A balm made with arrowroot, shea butter and calendula.

• Better World Fragrance House Summer Mink EDP (extra treat, 1.5ml sample, worth over £4).

What's New: Why It Works as a Gift

This box covers the full grooming routine, so he gets a complete routine in one bag. The two full-size fragrances and treatments (NUXE and Aromatherapy Associates) make up roughly half the stated value on their own. That's a big part of what makes £40 good value.

How to Use It: A Simple Routine

1. Shower: Start with the Molton Brown Black Pepper gel. Use the Philip Kingsley shampoo two to three times a week if his scalp is flaky.
2. Shave: The grüum gel is a clear shave gel, so he can see where he's shaving.
3. Treat: Use the BARBER PRO sheet mask before a night out. Apply the De-Stress Muscle Gel after the gym.
4. Finish: Use the AKT balm on clean, dry underarms, then a spritz of NUXE on the pulse points.

Fragrance-sensitive? Check the ingredient lists on the packaging before use. Several products contain naturally occurring allergens such as limonene and linalool.

If you love the fresh eucalyptus-and-rose contrast of Abyssae Eau de Parfum, a deeper version has arrived. L'Artisan Parfumeur has unveiled Abyssae L'Extrait, a more intense take on bottle number 33 from the brand's La Botanique collection. Created by perfumer Daphné Bugey, the new extrait explores what the house calls "a living darkness": bright eucalyptus cutting through smoky incense, then settling into a rich, amber woody trail.

What's New: One Signature, Two Depths

L'Artisan Parfumeur describes the Abyssae line as "one signature, two depths." The original Eau de Parfum pairs eucalyptus with rose and cashmeran for an airy, enveloping feel. Abyssae L'Extrait pushes everything further, with:

• More vibrant incense: the brand lists incense (Boswellia sacra) as a key note
• A more sensual rose: reshaped to feel warmer and closer to the skin
• A dark, resinous woody trail: sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris anchor the composition

In Bugey's own words: "To reinvent Abyssae, I intensified its contrasts. I immersed myself in the vibrant freshness of eucalyptus resin and incense, sculpted a more sensual rose, and anchored it all in a resinous woody depth, where sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris resonate with intensity."

The result is a scent of contrasts: cool and bright at the start, then shadowy, smoky and textured.

The Bottle

The extrait keeps the La Botanique look, with a dark teal label marked "33 Abyssae L'Extrait" and a black round cap. It comes in an illustrated box decorated with seaweed and coral motifs, a nod to the fragrance's oceanic name. The brand also offers exclusive Abyssae L'Extrait gift sets. Pricing for these hasn't been published, so check the official site for details.

How to Wear Abyssae L'Extrait

• Start small: with an extrait, a couple of sprays on pulse points (wrists, neck, inner elbows) is a good starting point
• Layer the duo: already own the Eau de Parfum? Try it on fabric and the extrait on skin to play with the brand's "two depths" idea
• Pick your moments: the eucalyptus-and-incense opening suits crisp autumn days, while the ambery woody base feels made for evenings
• Test before you buy: smoky, resinous scents change a lot from skin to skin, so live with a sample for a full day if you can

Is It Worth the Price?

At £295 / $435 for 75 ml, Abyssae L'Extrait is a luxury purchase. It suits fans of incense fragrances, woody ambers and fresh-meets-dark compositions. If the original Abyssae felt too light for you, this is the version to try.
