New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

The Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VIII Freedom Palette is a limited-edition magnetic eye and face palette with 18 shades in seven finishes. It is the eighth palette in Danessa Myricks Beauty's annual Lightwork series and launches on 16 October 2026. It costs $132 in the US and €172 on the brand's EU store, and Sephora US already lists it a day early as a limited-edition app exclusive.

Danessa Myricks Beauty is also releasing a limited-edition lip gift set in mid-October 2026, the Danessa Myricks Beauty Gloss On Lock Kit, with a kit-exclusive GlossWork shade and a mirror keychain.

Updated 15 October 2026: Sephora US now lists the palette at $132, labelled "Only at Sephora" and "App Exclusive", ahead of the 16 October launch. On danessamyricksbeauty.com it still shows as coming soon at $132, and EU orders ship from 16 October 2026. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Update (16 October 2026): The palette is already out of stock on the brand's EU store and is up for pre-order at Purish in Germany.

Release Date

The brand's launch artwork is stamped "Lightwork Volume VIII 10.16.26," and Lyko's listing counts down to a 16 October release. That makes 16 October 2026 the launch date. Sephora US listed it a day earlier, on 15 October 2026, as an app exclusive marked "Only at Sephora".

What Makes the Lightwork VIII Freedom Palette Different?

• Earth-to-sky shade story: warm mattes and copper metallics sit alongside lilac, lavender and violet chromes.
• Seven named finishes in one palette: these range from five color-accurate mattes to three marbled multichromes.
• Freedom System format: the minis stack magnetically, and you can carry 6, 12 or all 18 shades. The design matches Lightwork VI and VII, according to Glam Junkies.

Formula and Packaging

• Formula: According to the brand, the shadows are finger-forward with brushes optional, and are "designed for all skin levels and all makeup styles." Glam Junkies reports the formulas are vegan and cruelty-free, citing the brand.
• Packaging: Individual pans can be removed and rearranged. The palette also mixes and stacks with other Freedom palettes, such as the Everyday Magic and Pastel Dream Mini Freedom Palettes.

Danessa Myricks says: "This palette is your passport to freedom. I designed it so you can go from everyday basics to your boldest self-expression with ease." The brand's directions are to swipe any shade over the eyelid. Its press images show the shades on eyes and cheeks, and some on lips, with a footnote on that image, so not every shade is presented as lip-safe.

Among this season's limited editions are the Natasha Denona Holiday 2026 Limited-Edition Sets. Browse all makeup releases.

- Directions: apply to skin, lather in circular motions and rinse.

• Whipped Body Butter: a lightweight whipped moisturizer that Tree Hut directs to apply to dry skin after bathing.
• Moisturizing Shave Oil:

- A gel-to-oil formula with shea butter, argan, grapeseed, jojoba and sesame oils, oat kernel extract and vitamin E.

- Tree Hut says it cushions skin and helps reduce irritation, and markets it for people prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

• Foaming Gel Washes: according to Tree Hut, they cleanse with a hydrating oil complex of avocado, kiwi and orange oils.
• Hydraglow Body Lotion: a shea butter lotion that Tree Hut says is "clinically tested to deliver 48-hour hydration," based on a corneometer study.

Purito Seoul has released the Retinol Retinal 2000 Caffeine Eye Cream, a 40 mL nighttime eye treatment combining Retinol 0.1%, Retinal 0.1% and Caffeine 10,000 ppm. The product is currently listed on Purito Seoul's official site and at YesStyle, with no standalone price published by the brand as of 30 September 2026.

Key Details

• Dual retinoids — Retinol 0.1% and Retinal 0.1% combined in one formula for the eye area.
• Caffeine 10,000 ppm — listed by the brand at 1% in the INCI.
• 150 nm micro-formula — the brand states the finished formula has an average particle size of approximately 150 nm.
• Vegan and cruelty-free — confirmed by Purito Seoul and YesStyle.
• Multi-zone use — the brand recommends application to the under-eye area, smile lines and neck.

What the Brand Says

According to Purito Seoul, the formula provides targeted multi-care for puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture, and leaves the eye area looking smoother, firmer and more refreshed. The brand recommends applying a pea-sized amount after moisturizer in the evening only, starting 2–3 times a week and increasing frequency as the skin adapts, with SPF used the following morning.

Purito Seoul says the caffeine content helps care for puffy, tired-looking under-eyes, while the dual-retinoid blend targets fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture around the delicate eye area. The Amazon listing cites a clinical result in which under-eye puffiness appeared reduced by 12.43% after one use.

The Byredo x Iittala LJUS Collection is a limited-edition line of five mouth-blown glass objects for Byredo candles, incense and reed diffusers. Finnish glass design house Iittala made the pieces with the Swedish fragrance house Byredo, and UK prices run from £155 to £300. The collection went on sale worldwide on 16 October 2026. Each piece is sold separately, not as a boxed set, and no candle, incense or diffuser liquid is included.

Updated 16 October 2026: The LJUS Collection is now on sale and in stock on Iittala UK and Iittala's euro store, with confirmed prices for each piece. Iittala Finland also lists three Byredo home fragrance products. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Byredo's other holiday releases this season include the Byredo Les Miniatures Holiday 2026 launch, which has a miniature perfume set and a candle set, and the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026.

Release Date

The Byredo x Iittala LJUS Collection went on sale worldwide on 16 October 2026, timed for the holiday season, as Iittala Japan's press release confirmed. LJUS was first presented as a sculptural installation at MATTER and SHAPE in Paris from 6 to 9 March 2026. Byredo posted a teaser reel on Instagram on 14 October 2026 with the caption "Fire meets ice. A new light is coming."

• Candle stand, 125 x 26 mm (item 1087769): £155 / €180. A hand-cast glass base for the Byredo 240 g candle.

Iittala pairs the pieces with Byredo's Bibliothèque scented candle (240 g), Byredo incense sticks and the Byredo reed diffuser set. All are sold separately.

Iittala Finland lists these Byredo products:

• Bibliothèque room fragrance refill, 500 ml: €95

Checked 16 October 2026: In stock on Iittala UK and Iittala's euro store. All five pieces are also listed on Iittala Finland and iittala.jp. The collection was not found on byredo.com in our earlier US and UK searches.

What Makes the Byredo x Iittala LJUS Collection Different?

• Handmade glass: Each piece is mouth-blown and hand-crafted at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, which was founded in 1881. Small bubbles and variations make every piece unique.
• Dual branding: Every piece is engraved with both the Iittala and Byredo logos.
• Made for Byredo formats: The objects are designed around specific Byredo products, mainly the 240 g candle, incense sticks and the reed diffuser set. They are not general-purpose decorative glass.

Materials and Design

• Glass: Lead-free glass, shaped by hand. According to Iittala Japan, artisans blow molten glass at temperatures above roughly 1,000°C.
• Incense holder: The stick holder is stainless steel. Every other part of the collection is glass.
• Design story: According to Iittala, LJUS is built on Nordic light and the contrast of "fire and ice: clarity and warmth, permanence and ephemerality." The forms reference the light cycle from the midnight sun to winter evenings.

Janni Vepsäläinen, Creative Director at Iittala, says: "When Iittala's glass meets Byredo's fire, a new light emerges: elemental, restrained and deeply human."

What Makes the Chanel Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection Different?

• Chanel describes the packaging as "limited-edition white and golden packaging".
• Nuvole di Bellezza notes that the collection pairs gold with snow white, cool pinks and wood-toned browns rather than red-and-gold festive motifs.
• The 31 Le Rouge lip balm comes in an exclusive quilted sleeve.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

The mix of soft neutrals, pink blush and gold shimmer follows the palette of earlier Chanel holiday collections. The main changes are in presentation: the quilted lipstick sleeve, the soft white pouches and the embossed Neige d'Or pan. Chanel's next eyeshadow launches are covered in our Chanel Les 4 Ombres Spring 2027 first look.

Packaging and Campaign

Chanel invites shoppers to "step inside an enchanted winter world". Earlier leak coverage described the campaign as a snow-covered alpine village inspired by St. Moritz, with chalets and gondolas. The packaging details below come from earlier leak coverage.

• 31 Le Rouge: clear-and-white cases with gold trim, inside a quilted white magnetic sleeve.
• Les 4 Ombres: an embossed compact with a soft white case.
• Neige d'Or: a matching white pouch.

What Makes the Head & Shoulders Scalp Care Collection Different?

• Organised by scalp concern: the collection is split into three routines (oily, dry and flaky, itchy), each with its own bottle colour.
• Two leave-on treatments: the serum and spray are applied without rinsing. Both use a higher 3% HydraSC+ Complex, compared with 2% in the rinse-off products.
• A pre-shampoo step: Scalp Purify starts with a salicylic acid treatment that is applied before shampooing.

Formulas and Packaging

• Clarify Pre-Shampoo: Head & Shoulders says it loosens oil, build-up and flakes before shampooing. It is applied before the Scalp Purify Shampoo.
• Volumizing Shampoo: the brand says it removes up to 99% of oil, flakes and build-up "when using Scalp Purify Pre-Shampoo & Shampoo." It also claims 5x more volume versus unwashed hair. The shampoo is described as colour-safe.
• Nourishing Shampoo: the brand says it locks in scalp moisture for 72 hours and helps restore the scalp barrier. It is free of sulfated surfactants and colour-safe.
• Conditioner, Deep Hydration: this is step 2 of the Scalp Restore routine. According to the brand, it delivers a 72-hour moisture lock "with Scalp Restore Shampoo and Conditioner system."
• Leave-On Serum: this is a lightweight, non-greasy treatment applied to a wet scalp and not rinsed out. It is another leave-on scalp format, like the COLOR WOW Youth Juice Collagen Scalp Serum.
• Cooling Shampoo: Head & Shoulders says it gives an instant cooling feel and reduces dandruff-related itch, irritation and flakes.
• Cooling Spray: this is a leave-on spray. The brand directs using it up to four times daily between washes, massaging it in without rinsing.

Head & Shoulders describes the collection as clinically proven and calls itself America's #1 dermatologist-recommended dandruff shampoo brand. These are the brand's own claims.

The Dyson Airsmooth is Dyson's first dedicated dryer brush, a hot air brush with a teardrop head and dual bristles that dries and smooths wet hair. Dyson announced it on 3 September 2026 and launched it in the US on 8 September 2026 at $249.99. In the UK, John Lewis lists it at £199.99.

Updated 16 October 2026: listed at Dyson US and Ulta; £199.99 at John Lewis.

Dyson also has a seasonal colour release, the Dyson Plum/Copper Special Edition.

Release Date

Dyson announced the Airsmooth from London on 3 September 2026. According to Dyson's press release, the US launch was Tuesday 8 September 2026 at Dyson Demo stores, Dyson.com, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Abt and Nebraska Furniture Mart. The sources don't confirm a UK on-sale date.

Price

• US: $249.99. Byrdie rounds this to $250.
• UK: £199.99 at John Lewis. Our sources don't give a verified price on Dyson's UK site.
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed. Check Dyson's local site.

Colourway and Design

The Airsmooth comes in Ceramic Pink. According to al.com, this is the only colourway. Dyson's images show a pink-and-purple brush with a large teardrop-shaped head. They also include before-and-after shots on straight and curly hair.

Where to Buy

• US: Dyson ($249.99), Ulta, plus Sephora, Nordstrom, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Abt and Nebraska Furniture Mart (named in Dyson's press release).
• UK: John Lewis (£199.99, Ceramic Pink). No verified price on Dyson UK.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 16 October 2026: listed at Dyson US and Ulta; £199.99 at John Lewis.

What Makes the Dyson Airsmooth Different?

• It is Dyson's first dedicated dryer brush. It is built for one job, wet-to-dry drying and smoothing, rather than multi-attachment styling.
• The head is a teardrop shape, not round. Dyson's global ambassador, hairstylist Collins, told Byrdie that a round brush lets hair "glide too quickly and lose the perfect tension."
• It uses a patented dual bristle system, which Dyson says is designed to "guide hair, not fight it."

Technology and Design

• Bristles: According to Dyson, the looped Anti-snag bristles collapse to release strands, which reduces snagging. The PivotFlex bristles have an open base that diffuses airflow. They flex up to 90 degrees, which the brand says helps limit frizz.
• Heat control: Dyson says its intelligent heat control measures temperature 100 times a second. The brand claims this gives faster drying, less breakage and less frizz.
• Format: The brush weighs 580g with the motor in the handle and runs on universal voltage, so it works when travelling. Dyson describes it as engineered for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.
• Pairing: Dyson pairs the brush with its Dyson Omega leave-in conditioning spray. This is an 8-in-1 spray made with seven omega-rich oils.

Dyson Airsmooth vs Airwrap

Al.com says the Airsmooth's oversized teardrop head reaches closer to the roots and covers more hair than the Airwrap's round volumising brush attachment. It also lacks the Airwrap's curling technology.

Al.com's view is that the Airsmooth suits people who mainly use the Airwrap round brush. Airwrap users who rely on the curling barrels get more versatility from the multi-styler. Collins told Byrdie the Airsmooth could be an extra tool for Airwrap owners, either as prep before curling or flat-ironing or as a standalone blowout tool.

How to Use It

Collins recommends starting with wet hair, using more moisture for more textured hair. He suggests working in larger sections than usual, often 12 or fewer per head. Al.com notes the brush can also be used on dry hair for touch-ups.

Valentino Beauty's Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo Eau de Parfum are a his-and-hers perfume duo, one built on tuberose and one on Peruvian ginger. Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård front them as global beauty ambassadors. The two perfumes are sold separately, not as a boxed set. In the US, Donna costs $185 for 90ml and Uomo ranges from $38 to $170. Both became available worldwide on 24 August 2026, following an earlier rollout in select Valentino boutiques and international airports.

Updated 16 October 2026: listed at Sephora US, Sephora Canada and John Lewis.

Valentino Beauty first released the Vendetta perfumes in select Valentino boutiques and international airports, according to Luxury Daily. Worldwide availability followed on 24 August 2026. The Zoe Report covered a launch party at Burbank's Safari Inn.

Valentino Vendetta Fragrance Notes

Valentino Beauty hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid. Sephora lists three key notes for each scent. The structure below follows John Lewis for Donna and Beautyscene for Uomo.

Vendetta Donna

• Top: Colombian tuberose (Tuberose Osmobloom)
• Heart: exclusive Red Orange Nectar accord, inspired by the Tarocco Rosso blood orange
• Base: sandalwood

Vendetta Uomo

• Top: Peruvian ginger CO2 extract, Italian citrus
• Heart: cinnamon liquor accord
• Base: patchouli essence, woods

What Does Valentino Vendetta Smell Like?

Vendetta Donna opens on white tuberose, moves into a blood-orange nectar accord and settles on sandalwood. Ropion told The Zoe Report the aim was "something very sexy and unexpected, yet very elegant and Italian so it was linked to Valentino."

Vendetta Uomo starts with ginger and Italian citrus, centres on a cinnamon liquor accord and ends on patchouli and woods. Salamagne said she "wanted to reinterpret masculinity for Valentino." She described the scent as "an interpretation of an aphrodisiac fragrance" with spices as its starting point.

Both scents fall under the gourmand label. Another autumn 2026 fragrance release in that space is the Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Amber Sage.

What Makes the Valentino Vendetta Duo Different?

• It is Valentino Beauty's first prestige fragrance franchise launch in six years.
• The campaign was directed by Romain Gavras and shot on 35mm, with stills by Inez & Vinoodh.

Formula and Packaging

• Vendetta Donna: According to Valentino Beauty, it is built on Tuberose Osmobloom and an exclusive Red Orange Nectar accord. Luxury Daily reports that its deep red juice nods to the house's signature colour.
• Vendetta Uomo: The brand highlights Peruvian ginger CO2 extract and a cinnamon liquor accord. Its bottle carries Valentino's graphic V motif.
• Both bottles: The caps are inspired by the Maison's pleated couture.
