The Kayali Vanilla Charm Set is a limited-edition set of Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum in 50 ml and 10 ml sizes plus a mini perfume holder charm. The Kayali set costs $120 at us.kayali.com, £89 at Space NK UK and €105 on Kayali's international store, and it has been on sale on kayali.com since 1 October 2026.

KAYALI's other new gift sets this season are the KAYALI Yummy Marshmallow and Yummy Pistachio Gelato Kiss Sets, each a 10ml Eau de Parfum with a matching Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm ($42 / £42).

Updated 8 October 2026: in stock at us.kayali.com, Space NK UK, Cult Beauty and kayali.com for UAE delivery. It is sold out on kayali.com for EU delivery. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Kayali Vanilla Charm Set Launch?

Kayali hasn't announced an official release date for the set. It was first listed on kayali.com, the brand's international store, on 1 October 2026. It then appeared on us.kayali.com on 4 October 2026. By 8 October 2026 it was also listed at Space NK UK and Cult Beauty. Kayali describes it as a limited edition.

Price

• US: $120 at us.kayali.com. Bought separately, the two bottles cost $137 there ($105 for the 50 ml and $32 for the 10 ml miniature). The charm isn't sold on its own, so that $137 value covers the bottles only.
• UK: £89 at Space NK.
• International: €105 on kayali.com.
• UAE: AED 440 on kayali.com.

What's Inside

Kayali lists three items in the set:

• Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum, 1.7 oz / 50 ml
• Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum, 0.34 oz / 10 ml deluxe mini
• Vanilla | 28 Mini Perfume Holder Charm

That adds up to 60 ml of eau de parfum across two bottles.

This set is not to be confused with Kayali's Vanilla Musk Mini Duo Set. That set costs $28 at Sephora US and contains two 10 ml minis with no charm. The Charm Set is the one with the full 50 ml bottle and the holder.

Kayali's earlier Kayali Vacay in a Bottle Miniature Set was built around minis only.

Kayali Vanilla | 28 Fragrance Notes

These are the notes Kayali lists on the set's product page:

• Top: vanilla orchid, creamy jasmine
• Heart: vanilla infusion, vanilla surabsolute, tonka
• Base: brown sugar, musk, patchouli, amber

Kayali's main Vanilla | 28 description names the vanilla orchid as Madagascan and the amber as amber woods.

What Does Kayali Vanilla | 28 Smell Like?

According to Kayali, the scent opens on vanilla orchid and jasmine, moves into layered vanilla and tonka, and settles on brown sugar, amber, musk and patchouli.

Kayali calls the set "sweet, sexy, and totally irresistible" and says it is "serving luxe vanilla energy." For another vanilla-and-sugar scent from the brand, see Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42.

Where to Buy

Checked 8 October 2026: in stock at us.kayali.com, Space NK UK, Cult Beauty and kayali.com (UAE). Sold out on kayali.com for EU delivery.

What Makes the Kayali Vanilla Charm Set Different?

• It pairs a full 50 ml bottle with a 10 ml mini of the same scent, Vanilla | 28.
• It includes a Mini Perfume Holder Charm, which Kayali doesn't sell separately.
• It is a limited edition. The Vanilla Musk Mini Duo Set has minis only and no charm.

Other vanilla gift sets this season include the Jo Malone London Mini Ginger Biscuit & Vanilla Scotch Gift Set and the gourmand Le Monde Gourmand Le Petit Duo Set. Browse all fragrance releases.

Formula and Packaging

• Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum, 50 ml: Kayali's key notes are vanilla orchid, tonka and brown sugar. This is the full-size bottle, which the brand calls "the bottle that lives on your vanity."
• Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum, 10 ml: It has the same notes as the 50 ml. Kayali describes it as "small enough to toss in your bag."
• Mini Perfume Holder Charm: Kayali's images show a gold/beige pouch with a gold chain and clasp that holds the 10 ml bottle. The set comes in a pale gold box with a geometric pattern.

INNBEAUTY PROJECT's Extreme Routine Firming & Barrier Repair Set is a new limited-edition skincare set with a moisturizer, eye cream and cleanser. It costs $63 at Sephora US, which lists it at a $90.00 value, and it was on sale there by 7 October 2026. The brand's own graphic calls it the Extreme Routine Firm & Restore Travel Gift Set. You can find more launches from the brand on our INNBEAUTY PROJECT tag page.

Updated 8 October 2026: listed at Sephora US online for $63. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Routine Set Launch?

INNBEAUTY PROJECT hasn't announced an official release date for the set. It was listed and on sale at Sephora US by 7 October 2026, when it was first reported as "available now at Sephora." Sephora labels it "New Limited Edition," "Only at Sephora" and "Online Only," and in-store pickup isn't offered.

Price

The set costs $63 at Sephora US. Sephora lists the same items as a $90 value if bought separately. For context, INNBEAUTY PROJECT's own site lists the full-size Extreme Cream at $50, the full-size Extreme Cream Eye at $52 and the full-size Extreme Cleanse at $29. The set contains smaller sizes than those.

This set is not the same as two other sets on the brand's own site. The Extreme Cream Travel Duo sells for $49 and the Extreme Indulgence Trio for $36, both listed on innbeautyproject.com.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these three products:

• 0.5 oz / 15 mL Extreme Cream Firming & Lifting Moisturizer
• 0.5 oz / 15 mL Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring Eye Cream
• 1 oz / 30 mL Extreme Cleanse Milky Micellar Cleanser

Products and Brand Claims

Every result below comes from INNBEAUTY PROJECT's clinical testing as shown on Sephora's listing:

• Extreme Cleanse: removes 100% of makeup and impurities after one wash, removes SPF, and strengthens the barrier for 8 hours after one wash.
• Extreme Cream: a 181% increase in hydration, 100% of users saw an increase in firmness and contour, and a 90% reduction in rough texture.
• Extreme Cream Eye: a 74% reduction in wrinkle depth, a 70% reduction in wrinkle length and width, and a 39% decrease in puffiness.

The brand says the routine works under concealer and makeup without pilling. If you're following the brand's firming products, see our earlier post on the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Elastic Skin Firming & Plumping Serum.

• Sephora currently lists it as a limited-edition, online-only exclusive.
• At $63, it costs $27 less than the $90 value Sephora lists.

• Extreme Cream Eye: the brand cites Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and biomimetic peptides, which it says smooth and depuff "360°" around the eye. It is a cream format.
• Extreme Cream: the brand cites its 3X Ceramide and Lipid Complex along with squalane, which it says support the skin barrier. INNBEAUTY PROJECT says the cream uses a reverse-emulsion texture.

• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.
• Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.
• Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested.

The Three Steps

Sephora's images label each product as one step of a routine:

1. Cleanse – Faded Cleansing Bar: a hydrating, non-stripping bar that gently brightens uneven skin tone on the face and body.

What Makes the Faded Dark Spot Kit Different?

• It packs three formats into one set: a rinse-off bar, leave-on peel pads and overnight spot patches.
• The cleansing bar comes with a metal travel case.
• Sephora's description says it works on dark spots "without stripping the skin."

Spot patches are also part of this season's gift sets from other brands, such as the Coquette Spot Dots in Peach Slices Holiday 2026 at Ulta. For more seasonal sets, see Paula's Choice Holiday 2026 Skincare Kits.

Formula and Packaging

• Faded Brightening & Cleansing Bar: Topicals says it contains shea butter, niacinamide and vitamin C. The brand describes it as fragrance-free and non-bleaching. It works on both face and body.
• Faded Peel Pads: The pads contain glycolic, mandelic, lactic, salicylic and tranexamic acids plus retinol. Each pad comes pre-soaked in its own sachet. Topicals says the pads are "clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-breakout marks in 4 weeks," based on a 4-week clinical and consumer perception study with 34 participants.
• Faded Dark Spot Patches: The patches contain niacinamide, tranexamic acid, ascorbic acid and kojic acid in a gel patch. According to Topicals, they are "clinically proven to reduce dark spots in as little as 6 hours," based on a clinical study of 30 participants.

According to Sephora's listing, the set is free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, SLS/SLES and more, and contains less than 1% synthetic fragrance. Sephora's images show the box with the open metal tin, a flat-lay labelled Cleanse/Treat/Target, a three-step chart with models, and before-and-after photos for the peel pads at four weeks.

How to use: Topicals directs lathering the bar on damp skin, leaving it on for about one minute, then rinsing. Swipe a peel pad once over clean, dry face and neck at night, 2–3 times a week, without rinsing. On other nights, apply the patches gel-side down on dark spots overnight or for at least 6 hours, and wear SPF during the day.

MAC Cosmetics has relaunched Frost Lipstick in 23 shades, on sale in the US and Canada from 8 October 2026 at maccosmetics.com and MAC stores, priced at $24 in the US. The brand announced the return on Instagram: "Welcome back, Frost Lipstick. Our cult classic returns with more shades than ever."

Another MAC launch this season is the MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons Advent Calendar 2026, part of the MAC Holiday 2026 collection.

Updated 8 October 2026: all 23 Frost Lipstick shades are now available to buy at maccosmetics.com for $24. MAC UK still lists only the 10 classic shades at £22, and six of them are out of stock.

What's New: The Full Frost Lipstick Shade List

MAC's shade card reads "[13] new shades, [10] classic shades". The 13 new-to-the-relaunch shades are made up of three bringbacks and ten all-new colours. Shade descriptions are MAC's own.

The ten classics match the shades already listed on MAC's US and UK sites. Model Behaviour, Odyssey, On and On and Icon appeared on an earlier MAC swatch image, but they are not part of this 23-shade US/Canada list.

What the Brand Says

On its product page, MAC says: "Our cult classic M·A·C Lipstick is back in the spotlight." The brand describes a weightless, high-pearl formula that catches light "without the grit of glitter", with medium, buildable coverage. According to MAC, the lipstick immediately moisturizes lips: 100% of panelists had an immediate improvement in moisture and saw a +28% increase in moisture right after use, based on clinical testing on 25 panelists who used the product once. MAC UK lists wear time as up to 8 hours.

The ingredient list starts with castor seed oil, with jojoba seed oil and candelilla, carnauba and beeswax waxes further down. The shimmer comes from pearl pigments such as mica and borosilicates. MAC notes that ingredient lists may vary, so check the packaging.

Campaign and How to Apply

The campaign features makeup artist Erin Parsons wearing Spanish Fly, lined with Lip Pencil in Chestnut and Root For Me. Photography is by Hanna Khymych.

MAC recommends applying straight from the bullet for a quick sheen, or using the 316S Brush for more precision. To recreate the campaign look, line the lips with Chestnut and Root For Me, then apply Spanish Fly.

Frost Lipstick costs $24 in the US. In the UK it is £22, and the Frost shades have been listed there since August 2026.

The Ciele Mini Blush & Cheer Liquid Blush SPF 50+ Gift Set is a holiday trio of mineral SPF liquid blush minis, priced at $35 at Sephora US. It launched in the Sephora app on 8 October 2026, and Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its other platforms. The set includes Sugar, a soft plum shade sold only in this trio. It's part of the Ciele Holiday 2026 gift sets, alongside The Winter Wardrobe and The Brush Vault.

Updated 8 October 2026: the set is now available to buy in the Sephora app at $35; Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its website and other platforms. Because Sugar is a limited-edition shade, stock can change quickly.

What's New

The set is a holiday version of Ciele's blush & PROTECT SPF 50+ liquid blush. The box reads "blush & CHEER Mini Blush Trio," and Ciele's campaign imagery calls it the "Blush & Cheer Holiday Trio." It contains three minis:

• Sugar: a soft plum, labelled "Limited Edition Shade" and available only in this set
• Behati: one of the brand's bestselling shades
• June: also among the brand's bestsellers

Each mini holds 0.09 oz / 2.7 mL. The full-size blush & PROTECT holds 0.19 fl. oz / 5.5 mL. The trio comes in a green-and-white plaid box with a green satin ribbon handle, and the minis have green caps.

What the Brand Says

According to Sephora and Ciele, the liquid blush gives lightweight, buildable colour. Ciele describes it as a highly pigmented, hydrating formula with a radiant finish. Key claims, all attributed to the brand:

• Mineral-based, non-nano broad-spectrum SPF 50+
• Protection against four types of radiation: UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared
• Acne-safe and made without pore cloggers
• Antioxidant properties that the brand says lower the risk of cellular damage to the skin
• Allantoin, which Ciele says moisturises and soothes, and bisabolol, which it says calms skin and reduces redness

Ciele labels the formula clean, vegan and fragrance-free, with no talc, phthalates, parabens or sulfates. The set carries Sephora's "Clean at Sephora" badge.

How to Apply

Ciele's directions for the blush & PROTECT formula are:

1. Use the doe-foot applicator to place a small drop on the centre of the cheek.
2. Blend with fingers, a brush or a sponge.
3. Add more product for deeper colour.

The brand says the blush can be worn on its own for a flush of colour. For recycling, Ciele advises cutting the doe-foot off the end of the applicator, rinsing the bottle and cap, and recycling them with the box.

Key Details

The set costs $35 at both Sephora US and cielecosmetics.com. Ciele and Sephora give its value as $50. The minis aren't sold separately, so there's no price per mini.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($35), and ciele ($35), where it has been listed since 9 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at cielecosmetics.com at $35; listed at Sephora US at $35 as Limited Edition.

Dior has unveiled its Holiday 2026 makeup collection, led by the limited-edition Dior Médaillon lip balm ($95 US, £80 UK). It went on sale on dior.com in the US, UK and Poland on 8 October 2026, the UK date Beauty Calendar had reported. Dior calls the line the Holiday Look in the UK and the Holiday 2026 Edition in the US. Beauty Calendar and Instagram beauty-news accounts call it the "Cinnamon Glaze" collection after its warm honey and cinnamon tones. In Dior's own naming, 623 Cinnamon Glaze is one of the two Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes. This is a separate launch from the Dior Backstage Pop Glows Glow Maximizer palettes.

Updated 8 October 2026: the five main Holiday 2026 products are now on sale at dior.com in the US, UK and Poland, with every product page showing an add-to-bag button. The collection is limited edition, so stock can change quickly.

Products and Shades

• Dior Médaillon, 001 Crystal Pink ($95 / £80): Dior describes it as a collector sparkle lip balm designed as a "makeup jewel" to adorn your phone. It is an ultra-sparkling pink balm with a creamy texture. Dior claims 24 hours of hydration (instrumental test, 32 volunteers).
• Rouge Dior Holiday Edition ($53 / £44): A bullet case decorated with the medallion and Cannage pattern, in four shades: 232 Glazed Peach, 297 Glazed Violet, 720 Icone and 833 Cinnamon Kiss. Finishes are velvet, satin or glitter. The formula contains peony extract, pomegranate flower and shea butter, and the US page lists the lipstick as refillable.
• Diorshow 5 Couleurs ($75 / £63): Two palettes, 623 Cinnamon Glaze (warm undertones) and 926 Frosted Delights (cool undertones). Finishes are satin and pearlescent, and the formula is infused with cornflower extract. Beauty Calendar says the palettes are inspired by gingerbread and icy frosting.
• Dior Forever Glow Luminizer, 029 Frozen Médaillon ($63 / £62): A peach powder highlighter with golden pearlescent pigments. The brand says it gives a halo finish for a crystal glow.
• Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo ($55 / £46): A double-ended product pairing a transfer-proof liquid lipstick with a universal gloss. It comes in 10 "gourmand" shades, including 100 Sweet Nude.

How to Use

To attach the Médaillon, peel off the adhesive backing, place the balm on the adhesive following the template, separate it from the card and stick it to the back of your phone. Apply the balm with fingertips or a brush.

For the Sequin Liquid Duo, apply the liquid lipstick first. According to Dior, it turns ultra-glittery when you press your lips together. Layer the gloss on top for extra shine.
