MyFenwick Loyalty members get it free when they spend £150 or more on two or more products at fenwick.co.uk, and Fenwick lists its value at £210. The bag appeared on Fenwick's website by 14 October 2026. Each bag holds four fragrance minis, three skincare products, two makeup products and two haircare products.

Updated 15 October 2026: the Autumn Beauty Bag is shown as available on fenwick.co.uk.

When Did the Fenwick Autumn Beauty Bag 2026 Launch?

Fenwick hasn't announced an official release date for the Autumn Beauty Bag 2026. The listing was live on fenwick.co.uk by 14 October 2026, and UK beauty blogs Beauty Detective and Durbin Rock reported the offer on 15 October 2026. Fenwick hasn't announced an end date.

Price and How to Qualify

The bag has no price of its own. It is a gift with purchase, not a product sold separately. To claim it, you need to:

• Be a MyFenwick Loyalty member, which is free to join.
• Add two or more qualifying products totalling £150 or more to your basket.
• Add the Autumn Beauty Bag to your basket so it is applied free.

Fenwick's page marks the offer with an asterisk for its terms. Fenwick lists the bag's value at £210, while beauty blogs describe it as "worth £200".

What's Inside

Each bag holds 11 products: four fragrance minis, three skincare products, two makeup products and two haircare products. Two UK beauty blogs list these items, and they match the products in Fenwick's official photos:

Fragrance

1. Carolina Herrera La Bomba Eau de Parfum 6ml
2. Initio Side Effect Eau de Parfum 5ml
3. Maison Crivelli Tobacco Carnaval 5ml
4. One of two Juliette Has A Gun scents: Ode To Dullness Eau de Parfum 5ml or Ex Vetiver Eau de Parfum 5ml

Skincare

2. Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Primer (deluxe size, size not stated)

Haircare

1. Hair By Sam McKnight Happy Endings Nourishing Balm 30ml
2. Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Shampoo 20ml

The Carolina Herrera mini is the original La Bomba Eau de Parfum. It is not the newer La Bomba Intensa.

Does It Work With the Fenwick Beauty Advent Calendar?

According to Beauty Detective, the offer works with the Fenwick Beauty 25 Day Advent Calendar 2026, which costs £250 on fenwick.co.uk. Fenwick says the calendar holds 33 products, 14 of them full size, worth over £1,000. Its brands include Charlotte Tilbury, Amouage and Diptyque, and it comes with two complimentary makeup appointments. Fenwick also says 1 in 50 calendars has a £50 Fenwick Gift Card behind Day 25.

The offer needs two or more products, so the calendar counts towards the spend, but you need at least one more product. For another department-store calendar this season, see the Selfridges Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026.

Where to Buy

• US: Not available (Fenwick is a UK retailer)
• UK: Fenwick (free with a qualifying £150 spend, online). Fenwick hasn't confirmed whether the offer also runs in its stores.
• International: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 15 October 2026: shown as available on fenwick.co.uk.

What Makes the Fenwick Autumn Beauty Bag 2026 Different?

• A split fragrance slot: each bag gets one of two Juliette Has A Gun scents. Beauty Detective reports Ode To Dullness in 1,800 bags and Ex Vetiver in 200.
• All four categories in one pouch: the bag mixes fragrance, skincare, makeup and haircare. The Liberty Bath and Body Kit and Selfridges Dream Bundle are other UK department-store sets for comparison.
• Loyalty-only access: Fenwick currently lists the bag as a gift for MyFenwick Loyalty members only. The Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag is another retailer beauty bag this season.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Collector Edition Eau de Toilette and Gaultier Divine Collector Edition Eau de Parfum are tarot-themed holiday 2026 bottles. Both contain the original juices, so only the bottle and case change. In the UK, Notino sells the 125 ml Le Male for £128.00 and the 100 ml Divine for £156.00, and both were on sale by 15 October 2026. The two perfumes are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

Updated 15 October 2026: Both bottles are in stock at Notino UK and Notino PL. There is no confirmed US listing yet. Because these are limited editions, stock can change quickly.

This is one of several dressed-up holiday 2026 bottles, along with the Dior J'adore Music Box Holiday 2026.

Jean Paul Gaultier has also announced a new Scandal duo, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Extase and Scandal Pour Homme Extase.

When Did the Jean Paul Gaultier Collector Editions 2026 Launch?

Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't announced an official release date. ScentAdvice posted a first look on Instagram and lists both bottles as 2026 collector editions. By 15 October 2026, both were on sale and in stock at Notino UK and Notino PL. On that date, Jean Paul Gaultier's UK and France collector pages did not yet show them.

Price

• UK (Notino): Le Male Collector Edition EDT 125 ml, £128.00. Gaultier Divine Collector Edition EDP 100 ml, £156.00.
• Poland (Notino): Le Male Collector Edition EDT 125 ml, 651 zł. Gaultier Divine Collector Edition EDP 100 ml, 791 zł.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male & Divine Collector Edition Fragrance Notes

Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't published a pyramid for these editions on its own sites. Notino UK lists the following notes.

Le Male Collector Edition Eau de Toilette (aromatic amber fougère)

• Top: mint
• Heart: lavender
• Base: vanilla

Gaultier Divine Collector Edition Eau de Parfum (floral, marine, gourmand; perfumer Quentin Bisch, per Notino)

• Top: salty note
• Heart: meringue
• Base: lily

What Does Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male & Divine Collector Edition Smell Like?

Le Male opens with mint, moves to lavender and settles on vanilla. Notino describes "a distinct minty scent", then "iconic lavender... reminiscent of the purity of classic men's shaving soap", rounded off by "sensual vanilla".

Divine starts with a salty, sea-like note, then a snow meringue, and ends on lily. Notino calls the meringue "delicate, delicious and gourmand" and says the lily lends "a distinctive, radiantly feminine character".

The fragrances themselves are unchanged. Retailer visuals describe the editions as "same fragrance, different outfit".

The 2026 bottles are not to be confused with the earlier winter-train and tartan collector bottles. Those are still listed on jeanpaulgaultier.com US as "Last units": the Gaultier Divine Collector EDP 3.4 oz at $182 and the Le Male Elixir Collector Parfum at $180.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. As of 15 October 2026, a Sephora US search showed no 2026 Gaultier collector bottle.
• UK: Notino UK – Le Male Collector (£128.00); Notino UK – Gaultier Divine Collector Edition (£156.00). Notino currently lists the Divine collector's edition as a Notino exclusive.

You can browse all our fragrance releases for more holiday launches.

What Makes the Jean Paul Gaultier Collector Editions 2026 Different?

• Tarot theme: Notino describes a secret festive evening with candlelight and a tarot deck on the table. Campaign images frame both bottles in ornate, gold tarot-card-style borders on a deep red background.
• Gold mesh with stones: Le Male's torso is set with clear stones in a studded pattern. Divine's corset has red stones arranged in a V-shaped corset pattern.
• Unchanged juices: Only the bottle and the red-and-gold case are new.

For another gold-dressed limited edition, see the FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Edition.

Formula and Packaging

• Le Male Collector Edition EDT: Notino lists spearmint leaf oil, lavender oil and vanillin among the ingredients. The case is designed like a tarot deck "full of symbols and hidden meanings", according to Notino.
• Gaultier Divine Collector Edition EDP: Notino credits the formula to Quentin Bisch and lists vanillin and jasmine oil among the ingredients. The bottle comes in a tarot-themed red-and-gold case.

PÜR's Modern Minerals 6-Piece Mineral Eyeshadow Palette is a new eyeshadow palette with six matte, shimmer and metallic shades in two colorways. It comes in Warm Ember and Cool Earth, costs $28 per palette, and went on sale at purcosmetics.com in the US on 15 October 2026, the same day PÜR announced it on Instagram.

Updated 15 October 2026: in stock in both Warm Ember and Cool Earth at purcosmetics.com (US). It is not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target or PÜR's UK store.

Release Date

PÜR announced the Modern Minerals palettes on 15 October 2026 with an Instagram reel captioned "Warm tones just hit different". The reel shows a "coming soon" polaroid of a shimmer pan. The palettes went on sale at purcosmetics.com (US) the same day, and the site's top banner reads "Meet Modern Minerals Eyeshadow Palettes".

Price

• US: $28.00 per palette at purcosmetics.com

What's Inside

• 6 pressed eyeshadows per palette
• 3 finishes: matte, shimmer and metallic. PÜR doesn't say how many shades have each finish.
• Size per pan: not published

Warm Ember & Cool Earth Shades

Warm Ember is the warm-toned palette. PÜR describes it as "sun-kissed, golden-toned shades for warm looks":

• Rose Quartz, Terracotta, Opal, Garnet, Sunstone, Bronzite

Cool Earth is the cool-toned palette. PÜR describes it as "icy, smoky tones for cool-toned sophistication":

• Dolomite, Jasper, Aurora, Moonstone, Graphite, Iolite

Both palettes cover the same matte, shimmer and metallic finish range.

Where to Buy

Checked 15 October 2026: in stock at purcosmetics.com (US) in Warm Ember and Cool Earth; not listed at Ulta Beauty (PÜR Minerals brand page), Target or purcosmetics.co.uk.

What Makes the Modern Minerals Eyeshadow Palette Different?

• Two colorways: one warm palette and one cool palette, each with six shades named after minerals and gemstones.
• Three finishes per palette: every palette mixes matte, shimmer and metallic.
• Mineral, talc-free format: PÜR says it is formulated without talc, parabens, formaldehyde or synthetic fragrance.

Formula and Packaging

• Warm Ember: According to PÜR, it uses an air-whipped, double-milled formula with a "Mineral Complex" of four seed oils (sunflower, meadowfoam, macadamia and jojoba) plus vitamin E. The brand says this gives true-to-pan colour that builds from soft to bold and a weightless, crease-resistant finish. Tin oxide is listed for the Opal and Sunstone shades.
• Cool Earth: It uses the same Mineral Complex and vitamin E base. Mica is listed for Aurora and Graphite, and tin oxide for Aurora, Moonstone and Graphite.

PÜR says both palettes are dermatologist-tested and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. The brand also describes them as cruelty-free, and its site category tags list them as vegan and gluten-free.

How to Use It

PÜR says the shades are made for dry application with an eyeshadow brush. It suggests building colour on the lid, then adding deeper shades in the crease and blending with windshield-wiper motions. A primer is optional, but the brand recommends one for the longest wear.

More Eyeshadow and Mineral Makeup Launches

The Thrive Causemetics Focus Eyeshadow Palette is another new everyday palette this month. The Adept Cosmetics Trophy Wife Eyeshadow Palette is another October 2026 eyeshadow release.

The Boots x OUAI Beauty Icons Gift Set is a Boots-exclusive hair and body care set of six OUAI products plus a zip bag, priced at £35. It was reported on 15 October 2026 with a value of £98.81, and it is currently listed as a Boots exclusive collaboration on boots.com. It pairs OUAI's Detox Shampoo with five products in Melrose Place and a hair oil.

OUAI's own holiday launches include the OUAI Healthy Hair For The Holidays Kit, a Detox Shampoo and Bond Repair Balm duo, alongside a St. Barts Solid Eau De Parfum ornament.

The OUAI set sits in the same 2026 Boots series as the Boots x e.l.f. Beauty Icons Gift Set.

Updated 15 October 2026: listed at Boots UK at £35 (as reported); the Boots page could not be read automatically.

When Did the Boots x OUAI Beauty Icons Gift Set Launch?

Boots and OUAI haven't announced an official release date. A UK beauty-box Instagram account reported the set on 15 October 2026 at £35, pointing readers to the Boots listing. That is the earliest dated sighting in the sources. It is an observed listing date, not a confirmed launch day.

Price

The set costs £35 at Boots UK. Buying the six products one by one would cost £98.81. Both figures are as reported, because Boots' product page could not be read automatically. Boots hasn't published a per-item price breakdown, so check the current price on the Boots listing before buying.

What's Inside

The contents below come from the labels shown in Boots' official product photos. There are six products plus a bag: one full-size shampoo and five products in the sizes printed on their labels.

1. OUAI Detox Shampoo: 300ml (10 fl oz), the only full-size item
2. OUAI Body Cleanser, Melrose Place: 89ml (3 fl oz)
3. OUAI Leave In Conditioner, Melrose Place: 45ml (1.5 fl oz)
4. OUAI Fragrance Mist, Melrose Place: 25ml (0.84 fl oz)
5. OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub, Melrose Place: 96.4g (3.4 oz)
6. OUAI Hair Oil: 5ml (0.17 fl oz)

Everything comes in a pebbled beige zip bag with a clear panel, sleeved with "OUAI x Boots" branding and the words "Exclusive Collaboration".

The sizes mix millilitres and grams, so no total size is given.

Products and Scent

Four of the products are labelled Melrose Place, one of OUAI's named scents. The Detox Shampoo and Hair Oil are not labelled with a scent name. OUAI's other scents include the one in the OUAI St. Barts Hair & Body Mist, which we covered earlier.

• Detox Shampoo: OUAI describes it as an apple cider vinegar shampoo. It is included here at full size.
• Body Cleanser and Scalp & Body Scrub: the set's two body care products, both in Melrose Place.
• Leave In Conditioner and Hair Oil: two hair styling and conditioning products, in smaller printed sizes.
• Fragrance Mist: a 25ml mist in Melrose Place.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. The set is a Boots exclusive, and there is no confirmation that Boots ships it to the US.
• UK: Boots (£35, as reported). It is currently listed as a Boots exclusive collaboration.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed. Boots Ireland has not been confirmed for this set.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 15 October 2026: listed at Boots UK; the Boots page could not be read automatically.

The Boots x Bubble Beauty Icons Gift Set 2026 is another set in the same Boots Beauty Icons series.

What Makes the Boots x OUAI Beauty Icons Gift Set Different?

• Hair and body in one set: it includes shampoo, leave-in conditioner and hair oil alongside a body cleanser, a scalp and body scrub and a fragrance mist.
• Built around one scent: four of the six products are in OUAI's Melrose Place.
• Co-branded packaging: the zip bag comes in an "OUAI x Boots" sleeve marked "Exclusive Collaboration".

FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Edition Extrait de Parfum is a limited-edition saffron take on Angel Dust, adding Safraleine and Safranal to the original. The Dutch fragrance house FUGAZZI made it to celebrate five years of Angel Dust. The 100 ml bottle costs €205 at Dutch retailer Skins and on FUGAZZI's own site.

It arrives in the same season as FUGAZZI Beehive Yourself, a De Bijenkorf exclusive released on 1 October 2026 at €205 for 100 ml.

Updated 15 October 2026: in stock at Skins (€205) and on fugazzifragrances.com (€205). Because it's a limited edition, stock can change quickly. FUGAZZI also said on Instagram on 15 October 2026 that US and UK launches are coming soon.

When Did the FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Edition Launch?

FUGAZZI hasn't announced an official release date for Angel Dust Red Gold. ScentAdvice reported the fragrance on 2 October 2026 and quoted Skins' listing, noting that it "seems to have launched exclusively to Skins (NL/BE)." FUGAZZI then added it to its own online store on 15 October 2026.

Price

The Red Gold Edition costs €205 for 100 ml at both Skins and FUGAZZI. That matches the 100 ml Angel Dust Extrait de Parfum. FUGAZZI sells the Red Gold Edition in the 100 ml size only.

FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Edition Fragrance Notes

FUGAZZI hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for this edition. The brand lists these key notes:

• Pink Pepper
• Cashmere
• White Amber
• Dark Wood
• Safraleine and Safranal (the new additions)

Skins describes the fragrance as woody amber and lists pink pepper, amber and Cashmeran as its notes.

What Does FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Smell Like?

According to FUGAZZI, the change is in the opening. Safraleine and Safranal give it a saffron note. The heart and base keep the Angel Dust structure of cashmere woods, white amber and soft musk. In the brand's words, the saffron creates "a radiant saffron glow that feels warm, luminous, and irresistibly addictive." FUGAZZI's tagline for the edition is: "A different opening. The same obsession."

Angel Dust vs Angel Dust Red Gold Edition

All details below come from FUGAZZI's own site, checked 15 October 2026.

All three are built around cashmere and white amber. The Red Gold Edition keeps the Extrait's 30% concentration and adds a saffron opening. FUGAZZI says the standard Extrait doubled the White Amber Crystals and Cashmeran of the Eau de Parfum and intensified the black pepper with pink peppercorn.

Where to Buy

• US: Coming soon, according to FUGAZZI (no date or retailer announced yet)
• UK: Coming soon, according to FUGAZZI (no date or retailer announced yet)
• Europe: Skins (Netherlands, €205); FUGAZZI (€205)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 15 October 2026: in stock at Skins (€205) and in stock at fugazzifragrances.com (€205).

Skins currently lists Angel Dust Red Gold as a Skins exclusive, but FUGAZZI's own store now sells it too. Skins' own holiday launch this season is Skins The Holiday Box 2026.

What Makes the Angel Dust Red Gold Edition Different?

• New opening: Safraleine and Safranal add saffron. FUGAZZI says the heart and base are unchanged.
• Anniversary limited edition: it marks five years of Angel Dust, according to FUGAZZI and Skins.
• Reclassified family: FUGAZZI lists it as Musky/Woody. The standard Extrait is listed as Woody/Spicy.

Formula and Packaging

• Angel Dust Red Gold Edition Extrait de Parfum: FUGAZZI lists a 30% concentration, with Safraleine and Safranal added to the Angel Dust notes. FUGAZZI rates both scent intensity and sillage as "High."
• Bottle and box: product images show a clear round glass bottle with a glossy red cap. "FUGAZZI / ANGEL DUST" is printed in red, with "RED GOLD EDITION" in small red letters near the base. The cream box reads "RED GOLD EDITION" in red.

The Ellis Brooklyn ISLA TIME Mini Perfume Duo Gift Set pairs 7.5 mL Eau de Parfum minis of MIAMI NECTAR and ISLA SIRENA, the brand's two tropical scents. The limited-edition set costs $35 at Sephora US and CA$49 at Sephora Canada, where it was listed by 15 October 2026. It's the latest gift set from Ellis Brooklyn, which calls the two scents its bestselling fragrances.

Updated 15 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($35) and Sephora Canada (CA$49); not listed on ellisbrooklyn.com. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Ellis Brooklyn ISLA TIME Mini Perfume Duo Launch?

Price

The ISLA TIME duo costs $35 at Sephora US, which lists a $50 value for the set. Ellis Brooklyn doesn't sell the 7.5 mL minis on their own, so there's no per-item breakdown. In Canada, the set costs CA$49 at Sephora Canada.

For context, Ellis Brooklyn sells each scent as a 50 mL Eau de Parfum for $115 and as a 10 mL travel spray for $33. Those are larger sizes and are not included in this set.

It is not to be confused with Ellis Brooklyn's ISLA SIRENA Eau de Parfum Fragrance Duo, a 50 mL bottle plus a 10 mL travel spray at $126, listed on Ellis Brooklyn's site.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these products:

• MIAMI NECTAR Eau de Parfum, 7.5 mL spray

ISLA SIRENA opens on banana, papaya, sea salt and lime, then coconut water and vanilla orchid, and finishes on vetiver, brown sugar and teak. The brand describes it as "breathtaking, transportive and joyful." Ellis Brooklyn's product page links the scent to a solo birthday trip to St. Barths.

What Makes the ISLA TIME Mini Perfume Duo Different?

It costs $150 in the US, £125 in the UK and €135 in Europe at Byredo's own site, where it was on sale by 15 October 2026. The second product in the Byredo Borealis Holiday 2026 Collection is the Liquid Lipstick Vinyl in Aurora ($55 / €48), a holographic lilac lip shade. The two are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

The palette is also in stock at byredo.com UK, Europe, Switzerland and Sweden; Aurora at byredo.com Europe and Switzerland. Because the collection is limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The collection arrives alongside Byredo's other seasonal launches, the Byredo Les Miniatures Holiday 2026 fragrance set and the Byredo Advent Calendar 2026.

• Liquid Lipstick Vinyl in Aurora: Byredo says the formula is a vegan blend of oils and shea butter that is non-bleeding, long-wearing and non-sticky. It comes with a sharp, lightly flocked wand for precise application.

The brand says the calendar is "inspired by nearly 30 years of high-performance skincare."

Updated 15 October 2026: the calendar is now in stock in the US at $129; it is sold out in the UK (£129). Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Perricone MD hasn't announced an official release date. On 6 October 2026, the brand revealed the calendar on Instagram. At that point the US page said "Notify Me When Available", and the UK page listed it at £129 but already showed it as sold out. By 15 October 2026, the calendar was in stock at perriconemd.com in the US at $129. The UK listing was still sold out.

5. High Potency Retinol Recovery Overnight Moisturizer (7.5 mL / 0.25 US fl. oz.): the brand says it uses three forms of retinol to support the skin's overnight renewal.
6. Cold Plasma Plus+ Advanced Eye Cream (5 mL / 0.17 US fl. oz.): according to Perricone MD, it targets the look of dark circles, puffiness and crow's feet.
7. Cold Plasma Plus+ Lip Therapy (4.2 g / 0.15 oz., full size): the brand says it addresses vertical lip lines, loss of volume and dry texture.
