New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

Pixi Beauty's 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar is a limited-edition holiday set of 12 skincare, makeup and tool items, including Glow Tonic. It costs $40 (US), £40 (UK) and CA$64 (Canada) on Pixi's official sites and went on sale on 1 October 2026. Founder and makeup artist Petra Strand curated the edit, which returns for Holiday 2026 after the 2025 calendar sold out.

Release Date

The 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar was released on 1 October 2026 as part of Pixi's Holiday 2026 offering. It follows the 2025 edition, which sold out.

Price

• US: $40
• UK: £40
• Canada: CA$64

In the US, the calendar costs $40. Buying the 10 items Pixi sells individually at the same size would cost $92+ at current pixibeauty.com prices:

• Liquid Fairy Lights: $15
• Hydrating Milky Mist (Petite Size): $8
• GradualGlow (Original Size): $18
• Rose Cream Cleanser (Petite Size): $6
• Glow Tonic Cleansing Cloths: $4
• +Hydra LipTreat: $10
• Sheer Cheek Gel: $15
• Brow Tamer: $10
• DetoxifEYE: $3
• Rose Ceramide LipPatch: $3

That total leaves out the 15 ml Glow Tonic and the Petite Blending Brush, because neither is sold separately in the US.

What's Inside

The calendar holds 12 items behind numbered doors. Pixi describes them as a mix of eye, lip, cheek, complexion and skincare products in full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats:

• 5 liquids and gels measured in ml: 15 + 30 + 50 + 15 + 4.5 ml = 114.5 ml
• 3 products measured in grams: 5 + 4.8 + 12.7 g = 22.5 g
• 10 cleansing cloths
• 2 pairs of hydrogel patches (1 eye, 1 lip)
• 1 makeup brush

The 12-door format matches other 12-day calendars this season, such as the EVE LOM Twelve Day Advent Calendar 2026 and the $69 Ulta Beauty 12 Days To Glass Skin Advent Calendar.

Products

• Liquid Fairy Lights in Crystalline (5 g): a shimmering liquid eye colour

What Makes the 12 Days of Glow Discovery Different?

• It is a 12-day countdown rather than the more common 24-day format.
• It mixes full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats, from a 50 ml GradualGlow to single pairs of hydrogel patches.
• Founder Petra Strand curated it and introduces each product in Pixi's "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" social series.

Packaging and Key Ingredients

According to Pixi, the design was inspired by its boutiques in London and LA. The mint-green box is styled as a Pixi shop front, with pink butterfly wings, gold sparkle details, a mint satin ribbon and the words "12 Days of Glow Discovery". It opens like a book to show a pink "shop interior" with shelves labelled PIXI, TONIC, GLOW, MAKEUP and LIPS, plus numbered doors.

According to Pixi, Glow Tonic combines 5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with aloe vera and ginseng. Pixi says GradualGlow uses 2.5% DHA with coconut oil and hyaluronic acid, and DetoxifEYE contains caffeine and gold. Petra says she wanted to curate her favourites "to brighten, hydrate and bring a little radiance to the season". The set's skincare items sit alongside other launches on our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases page.

How to Use

Pixi suggests opening one product a day or using the items together to build a skincare and makeup routine, following each product's own directions. For pregnancy or breastfeeding, Pixi recommends consulting a physician about the ingredient lists, which it publishes on its product pages.

In the "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" series, Petra introduces each product, explains why she chose it and shares a makeup-artist tip.

If your skincare shelf is crowded but your routine still feels unfocused, LOOKFANTASTIC has a fix. The Dermatological Edit is a new Limited Edition beauty box of dermatologist-approved formulas, "hand-selected to simplify your routine, strengthen your skin, and focus on what delivers." It brings together seven products from Perricone MD, Eucerin, Kate Somerville, Augustinus Bader, Bioderma, AMELIORATE and Vichy, and it covers face and body from cleanser to SPF.

What's Inside: Products and Prices

The box costs £50 / €60. Buying the products one by one would cost over £195 / over €225, based on LOOKFANTASTIC's stated values:

• Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Photo-Brightening Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (59ml, full size), worth £64 / over €74. A brightening vitamin C day moisturiser with built-in SPF 30.
• Eucerin Sensitive Protect Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF 50+ (50ml, full size), worth £19 / over €22. An extra-light, high-protection sun lotion for sensitive skin.
• Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash (120ml, full size), worth £41 / over €47. A daily foaming face wash. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "EradiKate Daily Foaming Cleanser", but its own product photos show the ExfoliKate Cleanser tube.
• Augustinus Bader The Overnight Restorative Cream (7ml, deluxe), worth over £40 / over €47. An overnight face cream, here in a travel-friendly deluxe size. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "The Overnight Recovery Cream"; the tube in the photos reads "The Overnight Restorative Cream".
• Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil (100ml, deluxe), worth £9 / over €10. A replenishing shower oil for dry, easily irritated skin.
• AMELIORATE Transforming Body Exfoliant (300ml, full size), worth £18 / over €20. A body exfoliant for smoother skin.
• Vichy Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum (10ml, deluxe), worth over £4 / over €4. A lightweight hyaluronic acid booster for hydration.

How to Build Your Routine

Morning: Cleanse with the ExfoliKate Cleanser, apply the Minéral 89 booster, then the Perricone MD SPF 30 moisturiser. For high-UV days or time outdoors, add the Eucerin SPF 50+.

Evening: Cleanse, apply Minéral 89, then finish with the Augustinus Bader Overnight Restorative Cream. A little goes a long way, which helps the 7ml deluxe size last.

Body: Use the AMELIORATE exfoliant in your body routine to smooth rough skin, and the Bioderma Atoderm shower oil to cleanse without stripping.

Tip: Follow each product's own directions, and wear daily SPF when exfoliating.

Is It Worth It?

Four of the seven products are full size, including the Perricone MD moisturiser, which alone is worth more than the box. That makes The Dermatological Edit good value for anyone who wants to try premium dermatologist-approved skincare. It also works well as a gift for a friend who likes to keep their routine simple.

• UK: LOOKFANTASTIC UK (£50)
• International: LOOKFANTASTIC Italy (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Germany (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC France (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Spain (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Netherlands (€60)

KIKO Milano Maxi Mod High Pigment Eyeshadow is a single eyeshadow in 48 shades across six colour families, with matte, metallic and shimmer finishes. It costs $10 per shade in the US and was listed on KIKO Milano's US site by 17 September 2026; other markets have not yet been confirmed. It is the newest addition to KIKO's Maxi Mod line, which already includes the Maxi Mod Mascara.

KIKO notes that launch dates may vary by country.

The Maxi Mod High Pigment Eyeshadow is sold alongside KIKO's original High Pigment Eyeshadow.

Both are highly pigmented single eyeshadows. The Maxi Mod version narrows the range to three finishes.

Some shades from the original carry over under new numbers. KIKO says: "You loved them. We kept them."

Formula Details

According to KIKO, the formula has:

• A very high concentration of pigments for colour payoff from the first swipe
• A smooth-gliding, buildable texture that adheres to the eyelids, blends easily and is comfortable to wear
• Wear of up to 8 hours, based on clinical and instrumental testing
• Ophthalmological testing, including on sensitive eyes, and suitability for contact lens wearers

In KIKO's panel test of 20 women, at least 70% found the colour even across the lid, the shadow easy to apply and blend, and the coverage high from the first application. The eyeshadow is made in Italy.

KIKO's other new launch this season is the KIKO Milano Twist 'N Twinkle Holiday 2026 Gift Sets, its range of holiday gift sets.

The Hermès Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection is a limited-edition line of an eyeshadow palette, a highlighter, a lipstick and a nail colour.

Status: Unconfirmed — leaked images. Hermès has not officially announced this collection. Product names, shades, packaging and release dates may change.

Leaked images show the 07 Ombre Sable eyeshadow palette, the 02 Permabrass highlighter embossed with the maison's lucky charms, a holiday-cased Rouge Hermès lipstick in 23 Beige Doblis and a softly metallic nail colour, shade 50. The collection is reported for October 2026, and prices have not been announced.

When Will the Hermès Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection Launch?

Hermès hasn't announced an official release date. The collection is reported for October 2026. Official product images surfaced before any announcement on Hermès's own channels. Other holiday launches are listed in BeautyTalkClub's makeup releases.

Price

• US: Not yet announced. For reference, the current Fall 2026 limited-edition Rouge Hermès lipsticks are listed at $90 on hermes.com US.
• UK: Not yet announced
• Europe: Not yet announced

What's Inside

• 4 products, each shown individually: 1 eyeshadow palette, 1 highlighting powder, 1 lipstick, 1 nail colour
• The palette holds 4 eyeshadow shades
• Sizes and weights: Not yet announced

07 Ombre Sable Eyeshadow Palette

The images show the Ombre Sable Palette in a round black compact with a white lid and gold medallion. They show four shades: a mauve-taupe, a pale champagne, a peachy copper-pink and a deep brown. The description accompanying the images highlights a satin beige, a deep matte brown and a copper-pink.

Hermès has used a round, four-shade format before, in the Ombre d'Hermès Palette Quatuor from the HERMÈS BEAUTY Eye Collection.

02 Permabrass Highlighter

The Permabrass Illuminating Powder is described in the leaked material as a champagne glow with a hint of rose. The caption gives the shade as "02 All Permabrass", while earlier reports named it "No.02 Or Permabrass", so the final name is still to be confirmed. The images show the powder embossed with a parade of Hermès charms:

• an anchor chain link, a riding boot and a Kelly-style bag
• a cadenas padlock, a horse head, a saddle and a horseshoe
• an H buckle and a round "HERMÈS PARIS" medallion

23 Beige Doblis Rouge Hermès Lipstick

23 Beige Doblis is described as a matte, warm deep rose. The shade isn't new: it is already part of the permanent Rouge Hermès matte lipstick range at Harrods. The holiday version differs in its limited-edition white, black and gold case, and its bullet is engraved with an H motif.

Hermès has previously added limited-edition shades to the Rouge Hermès Matte Lipstick line, as in the Hermès Beauty Spring - Summer 2024 Collection. An engraved bullet also featured on the Hermès Rouge à Lèvres Matte Rouge Amazon 75.

50 Nail Colour (Reported as "All Rose")

The images show shade 50 in the signature Les Mains Hermès bottle with its gold band. The caption writes the shade as "All Rose" and describes it as a pink with a subtle metallic sheen and hints of silver.

Where to Buy

Hermès has not confirmed stockists for the Holiday 2026 collection in any market. Hermès limited editions usually launch at hermes.com and Hermès boutiques.

• US: Not yet confirmed. The Fall 2026 limited edition is currently stocked at Nordstrom.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Selfridges currently carries the Fall 2026 limited edition.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed

We'll update this post once Hermès confirms prices, dates and stockists.

What Makes the Hermès Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection Different?

• The Permabrass highlighter is embossed with nine Hermès motifs, from a Kelly-style bag to a cadenas padlock.
• 23 Beige Doblis is an existing permanent shade, reissued in a limited-edition white, black and gold case with an H-engraved bullet.
• The palette, highlighter and lipstick share a white, black and gold colour scheme, with gold medallions on both compacts.

Packaging and Formula Details

The highlighter compact has a white lacquered lid with a gold engraved medallion and a black outer ring around the pan. For context only, an earlier limited-edition Permabrass powder was a fine, melting formula with golden mother-of-pearl. Hermès hasn't said whether the new highlighter uses the same formula.

The Allure Beauty Box October 2026 is a US monthly subscription box of multitasking skincare, makeup and hair care picks chosen by Allure editors. Subscribers pay $30 per box, and Allure says the contents are worth $125+ if bought separately. This month's theme is "overachievers", meaning products that do more than one job, from a lip-and-cheek colour to a hair mist with an odour-neutralising formula.

When Did the Allure Beauty Box October 2026 Launch?

Allure hasn't announced an exact ship date for the October 2026 box. Customisation opened on 1 September 2026, when members chose their K-beauty product. The box is sold as the October 2026 edition, and allurebeautybox.com currently lists it as the current box. Other new launches are collected in BeautyTalkClub's beauty news section.

Price

The monthly Subscribe & Save plan costs $30 per box, and Allure says you can cancel anytime. For a single box without a subscription, the Beauty Discovery Box costs $50. Allure values the products at $125+ if bought one by one, but it hasn't published individual prices. The site also offers gift subscriptions. According to Allure, members get exclusive member prices, access to a members-only store and early access to limited editions.

The October box is one of several beauty boxes released in October 2026, alongside the Next A Touch of Luxury Beauty Box October 2026 in the UK and the Rodial Autumn Mystery Box.

Makeup

• Charlotte Tilbury Glossy Fresh Pink lip duo pairs the Mini Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk with the Mini Collagen Lip Bath Lip Gloss in Refresh Rose, a clear gloss.
• Givenchy Beauty Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation Sampler is the Recurring Member Bonus. It is a sample card of a serum-foundation hybrid with micro hyaluronic acid, ceramides and yuzu extract. According to Allure, it gives buildable coverage with a radiant-blur finish.

Hair Care

• Color Wow Insta-WOW Advanced Dry Shampoo is an Allure Best of Beauty award winner with an apple and jasmine scent. According to Allure, its rice starch formula leaves no grit and no white cast.

New Member Gift

New subscribers receive the Kitsch Hair Perfume in Pistachio Latte ($20 value) in their first box. It works as a hair and body mist. Allure describes it as "a cozy, cafe-worthy pistachio latte scent kissed with coconut and warm coffee." According to Allure, its odour-neutralising formula refreshes second-day hair rather than masking odours.

Where to Buy

• US: Allure Beauty Box ($30 per box subscription or $50 one-time). Allure says quantities are limited and the month's box can sell out.
• UK: Not available (US-only box)
• Europe: Not available (US-only box)

What Makes the Allure Beauty Box October 2026 Different?

• New subscribers get a Kitsch hair perfume, while continuing members get a Givenchy Beauty foundation sampler as the Recurring Member Bonus.

How to Use

Allure suggests tapping a dime-size amount of the Kat Burki eye serum under each eye morning and night, then applying moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen. It suggests using the Earth Harbor cream before sunscreen in the morning or as the last step at night. For the lip duo, Allure suggests outlining the lips with Pillow Talk and layering one or two coats of gloss on top for a glassy finish. For the dry shampoo, Allure's directions are to shake the can, spray at and under the roots from about eight inches away, let it settle, then massage it through.

Dede Signature launched the Liquidiva palette on 2 October 2026 at 11am CST, priced at $50.99 (US). The indie brand is known for artistic eyeshadow palettes, and Liquidiva is a 16-shade eyeshadow and pressed pigment palette designed by makeup artist @nj_chia. It is sold on the Dede Signature website. Below you'll find the release details, price, shade names and what's new.

What's New With Liquidiva

Dede Signature's earlier artistic palettes include Just Art, Sweethearts Secrets, Festive Elegance and From the Roots. The brand presents Liquidiva as a palette that pairs bold colour with everyday wearability.

According to the brand, Liquidiva combines:

• Super-pigmented mattes for a base, crease work and definition
• Sparkling shimmers for the lid
• Multichrome finishes that shift colour as the light catches them

The product page adds that the palette features "bold brights, wearable neutrals, and unexpected pops" for looks ranging from soft to colourful.

The brand's motto for the palette is no rules, no limits, just creative freedom and boldness. Makeup artist @nj_chia designed the palette. The reveal shows a holographic, iridescent case with "Liquidiva" in bubbly lettering.

Liquidiva Shade Names

The Dede Signature product page lists the 16 shades in two groups, each with its own ingredient list.

• Group 1 (9 shades): Emerald Pool, Pearl Splash, Blue Lagoon, Seafoam Spark, Pink Frost, Barefoot Beach, Pacific Blue, Coral Bloom and Electric Lime
• Group 2 (7 shades): Blush Tide, Deep Current, Merlot Wave, Driftwood, Golden Reef, Purple Rain and Moonlit Mist

Dede Signature hasn't shared pan sizes yet. We'll update this post once that detail is confirmed.

Key Details

According to Dede Signature, the palette's pressed pigment shades are not intended for use around the immediate eye area. The brand also recommends a patch test before use and says to stop using the product if irritation or a rash occurs.

Dede Signature says it ships worldwide. The brand lists a current processing time of 6 to 10 business days. Once shipped, it says US orders typically arrive in 3 to 5 business days, and orders outside the US can take 10 to 21 business days. The brand notes that customs and duty fees on international orders are paid by the recipient.

How to Wear a Bold-Meets-Wearable Palette

A mix of mattes, shimmers and multichromes gives you plenty of room to play. Here are a few ways to get started:

1. Build the base with mattes. Use a transition matte in the crease first, then deepen the outer corner. Highly pigmented mattes blend best when you work in thin layers.
2. Pack shimmers on with a finger. Pressing shimmer onto the centre of the lid with a fingertip gives maximum sparkle and less fallout.
3. Use multichromes as the focal point. Apply them over a sticky base or a matte of similar depth. This makes the colour shift more intense.
4. Dial it down for daytime. Pair one soft matte with a single shimmer for a subtle look. Save the full multichrome look for evenings.

Pro tip: Multichromes often look most striking over a darker matte. Try swatching them over different mattes in the palette to find pairings you like. Keep the pressed pigment shades away from the immediate eye area, as the brand advises.

It went on sale on livingproof.com on 1 October 2026 at $33 (5.5 oz) in the US. In the UK it costs £27 as a Lookfantastic exclusive. Living Proof teased the launch with the line "Winter has never smelled this good."

By 7 October 2026, Ulta and Lookfantastic both listed it as in stock. It arrived the same week as the Crown Affair The Vault Holiday 2026 Hair Care Set, another holiday 2026 hair care release that opened to all shoppers on 2 October.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Frosted Fig Fragrance Notes

The formula is the brand's existing Advanced Clean dry shampoo. The new part for Holiday 2026 is the scent. Living Proof's official notes are:

• Top: lush, creamy fig and subtly sweet coconut
• Heart: delicate lily petals blended with clarifying green tea
• Base: comforting blonde woods, vanilla cream and a touch of smooth, warm amber

What Does Living Proof Frosted Fig Smell Like?

Built from the brand's notes, the scent opens on fig and coconut, moves to lily and green tea, and ends on woods, vanilla and amber. Living Proof describes it as "warm, cozy" and "soft, elegant, and effortlessly inviting." It also calls the scent "an inviting alternative to the expected holiday gourmand."

What Makes the Perfect Hair Day Frosted Fig Dry Shampoo Different?

• It uses the Advanced Clean formula, not the Original Dry Shampoo, with a limited-edition fig, coconut and lily scent in place of the core version's light scent.
• Citing Mintel data, Living Proof says searches for fig fragrances in haircare have grown more than 600% over the past three years.
• It follows the brand's earlier limited-edition scents, Velvet Amber and Sun-kissed Pear. Living Proof says those drew new customers, with 55% of purchasers new to the brand. The brand positions Frosted Fig for discovery and gifting.

Formula Details

According to Living Proof, this edition is designed "for days when washes are fewer and freshness matters more." The brand says the formula:

• cleans and cares like a rinse-out shampoo
• removes oil, sweat and odor
• leaves hair soft, naturally shiny and manageable
• leaves no visible or textured residue
• helps balance the scalp's sebum levels
• provides pollution protection

Living Proof says the formula works through four parts:

• fast-absorbing powders
• odor neutralizers
• a sebum balancer
• a powder removal system that reduces surface friction to remove the powders

Rice starch, corn starch and cyclodextrin appear near the top of the ingredient list. Lookfantastic's printed list shows a shorter set of fragrance components than the lists on Living Proof's and Ulta's pages. Living Proof advises checking the packaging for the current list. Ulta notes that the item cannot be shipped via air.

Living Proof's FAQ explains how the two versions of its dry shampoo differ:

How to Use

Living Proof says to shake the can extremely well before each spray and hold it 6–10 inches from dry, dirty hair. Section the hair, apply in a sweeping motion and wait 30 seconds. Then massage or brush the roots to remove the powder, reapply as needed, shaking the can again, and style as desired.

UK skincare expert Caroline Hirons launched The Collagen Support Kit on carolinehirons.com on 30 September 2026, priced at £99. The kit has since sold out. It brings together six skincare products, from a cleansing balm to a rich cream, which Caroline Hirons positions for the colder months. It's a one-off kit rather than a subscription. Here are the release date, the products and the price.

What's in The Collagen Support Kit

The kit costs £99. Caroline Hirons says buying the items one by one would cost £412, which works out to a 75% saving. Only some individual UK prices can be confirmed: the Olverum balm is £55, the Medik8 serum is £79 and the Votary cream is £85. The other products aren't priced individually, and the Jordan Samuel soap is exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Here are the products, with Caroline's own notes:

• Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm (100ml): Caroline says it "melts through makeup, SPF and the day" and leaves skin soft and nourished.
• Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream (15ml): Contains peptides, ceramides and omegas. Caroline says it hydrates and smooths without feeling heavy.
• Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Face Serum (30ml): Medik8's newest serum uses vegan PDRN technology. According to Caroline, it supports skin renewal, calms visible redness and improves skin resilience.
• Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum: A reformulated version of the ceramide capsules. Caroline says it helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Votary Ultimate Rich Cream (50ml): Caroline describes it as rich but never heavy and one of her favourites when the weather turns cold.
• Jordan Samuel Ferragosto Artisanal Soap: A soap that Caroline describes as beautifully fragranced, exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Everything comes in The Collagen Support Kit Bag, a pink quilted bag measuring 33cm x 25cm x 12cm. The bag is also sold separately for £40.

What It Targets

According to the Caroline Hirons product page, the kit targets:

• Barrier support
• Dehydration
• Fine lines
• Redness
• Loss of firmness
• Overall skin resilience

The products centre on ceramides, peptides and rich textures.

How to Use It: Suggested Routine

Caroline suggests applying the products in this order:

1. Cleanse with the Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm.
2. Eye cream: Apply the Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream.
3. Serum: Apply the Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ serum.
4. Capsules: Follow with the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules serum.
5. Moisturise with the Votary Ultimate Rich Cream to seal everything in.

Use the Jordan Samuel soap in the shower. In the morning, finish with SPF.

Caroline Hirons' website now states that The Collagen Support Kit has sold out. The site invites shoppers who missed it to sign up to hear first when the next kit drops. No restock has been announced.
