Allies of Skin 10/10/10 Multi GF Exo Advanced Recovery Ampoules is the brand's first ampoule: 30 airless-pump ampoules for a 4-month course. It costs $750 in the US, £670 in the UK and €775 in the EU. It went on sale on all Allies of Skin regional stores on 10 October 2026, as the second release in The Lab Drop, which the brand reserves "for its highest-performing formulas".

Updated 10 October 2026: In stock on Allies of Skin's US, UK, EU and Singapore/APAC stores. Not yet listed at other retailers.

When Did the Allies of Skin Lab Drop Ampoules Launch?

Allies of Skin announced the Lab Drop 10/10/10 Ampoules on Instagram on 10 October 2026 ("Discover The Lab Drop at AlliesofSkin.com"). The product was available on its US, UK, EU and APAC storefronts by the same day.

Price

• US: $750
• UK: £670
• EU: €775 (the same price in Poland and Germany)
• Singapore/APAC: S$1,050

At $750 for 30 ampoules, each ampoule works out to $25 in the US.

What's Inside

• 30 x 3 mL airless-pump ampoules (90 mL / 3.4 fl oz total)
• A holographic triangular box, which the brand says is inspired by its logo
• A printed usage insert

Each ampoule covers several applications. Allies of Skin says one box lasts about four months when used morning and night.

Bundles

The US store added three bundles on 10 October 2026:

• The 12-Month Advanced Treatment Protocol ($2,250): three boxes of the ampoules, covering three consecutive 4-month cycles.
• The Advanced Recovery Routine ($984): Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser, Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist, the ampoules, and Peptides & Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment.
• The Post-Treatment Routine ($422): the cleanser, the mist, Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum and the Firming Daily Treatment. It is designed for after the protocol and does not contain the ampoules.

Checked 10 October 2026: In stock at Allies of Skin US, UK, EU and Singapore/APAC. Not listed at Sephora US, Space NK, Cult Beauty or Harrods.

What Makes the Lab Drop 10/10/10 Ampoules Different?

• It is the first ampoule format from Allies of Skin.
• It combines three active complexes at 10% each, according to the brand.
• It comes as 30 reusable airless-pump ampoules sold as a 4-month course, not a single serum bottle.

The Formula

Allies of Skin describes these three complexes:

• 10% Exo-GF: Vegan exosome-encapsulated EGF (epidermal growth factor). The brand claims up to 15x the exosome concentration of standard liposome delivery.
• 10% Advanced GF-Retin Complex:

- XEP-716 Miniprotein (5%)

- Bio-GF Source (3%), which contains five growth factors: IGF-1, EGF, acidic and basic FGF, and VEGF

- NovoRetin (2%), derived from lentisk tree bark from Chios, Greece, and described by the brand as a retinol alternative

• 10% Bio-Stem Peptide Complex:

- Tridecapeptide-1 / BGT TDP-1 (3%)

- NaturePep Pea (1%)

- SWT-7 (2%)

- IceAwake (2%)

- Allosteris (2%)

The brand says the formula contains no silicones, sulfates, denatured alcohol, synthetic dyes, added fragrance or essential oils. It also describes the product as cruelty-free and dermatologist tested.

Exosomes are appearing in other launches this season, including the FRUDIA Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster. For a single peptide serum rather than a multi-complex course, see the goop Youth Boost Peptide Serum.

Brand-Reported Results

The figures below come from a 4-week study on 33 subjects that used expert visual grading and instrumental measurements, according to Allies of Skin:

• 109% improvement in radiance
• 106% improvement in healthy glow
• 94% improvement in overall skin appearance
• 75% improvement in skin smoothness
• 40% increase in hydration
• 40% reduction in visible redness
• 38% improvement in the appearance of facial contour and definition
• Up to 35% improvement in the look of elasticity
• 29% improvement in tone evenness
• 20% visibly firmer skin

The brand calls the results "in-office-caliber." It positions the ampoules as support between injectables, lasers and other in-clinic treatments. It is a cosmetic product, not a medical treatment. The Dior Capture PDRN-Shot is another 2026 at-home launch that borrows its language from in-clinic treatments.

How to Use

Allies of Skin says to shake the ampoule, then apply 1–3 pumps to the face and neck morning and night, after cleansing and misting. Follow with moisturiser, plus SPF in the morning, and return the ampoule to the box. The brand's Instagram also suggests using the ampoules as an eye serum.

More launches are in our skincare section.

Marc Jacobs' Daisy Violet Collection is four new versions of Daisy scents in matte purple bottles, with violet, berry, grape and praline accords.

Status: Unconfirmed — campaign visuals have surfaced. Marc Jacobs has not yet listed this collection on its site. Product names, packaging and release dates may change.

The four scents are Daisy Violet, Daisy Eau So Fresh Violet, Daisy Wild Violet and Daisy Love Violet. Marc Jacobs has not announced a price or release date, and no retailer lists the collection yet.

Updated 10 October 2026: We added the fourth scent, Daisy Eau So Fresh Violet, and the official note pyramids and fragrance families from Marc Jacobs' campaign visuals.

Marc Jacobs' other fragrance launch this season is the Marc Jacobs Just Perfect Eau de Parfum 2026.

When Did the Marc Jacobs Daisy Violet Collection Launch?

Marc Jacobs hasn't announced an official release date. According to Olfastory, the first three scents surfaced in an announcement in September 2026. On 10 October 2026, a fragrance blogger shared Marc Jacobs' own campaign visuals on Instagram, and those visuals showed a fourth scent.

Price

Marc Jacobs has not announced prices for any market.

What's New in the Daisy Violet Collection

The collection doesn't add a new Daisy pillar. Instead, it reworks four existing Daisy scents in purple packaging. The campaign tagline reads "The iconic Daisy bottle, dressed in bold purple & colorful cap."

Correction: Our earlier version cited Olfastory and iFragrance. It listed Daisy Wild Violet with a jasmine sambac heart and a creamy macadamia base, and Daisy Violet with a wild berries top. The campaign visuals list different notes:

• a blueberry heart and a sandalwood base for Daisy Wild Violet
• a violet candy top for Daisy Violet

We now use the campaign notes below as current.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Violet Collection Fragrance Notes

💜 Daisy Violet

Family: Floral Green Woody

• Top: violet candy accord
• Heart: violet flower accord
• Base: cedarwood

🪻 Daisy Eau So Fresh Violet

Family: Floral Fruity Green

• Top: blackberry accord
• Heart: geranium
• Base: white woods accord

🫐 Daisy Wild Violet

Family: Floral Fruity Woody

• Top: Muscat grape accord
• Heart: blueberry accord
• Base: sandalwood

🍧 Daisy Love Violet

Family: Amber Floral Fruity

• Top: cloudberry accord
• Heart: blackcurrant sorbet accord
• Base: praline accord

What Does the Marc Jacobs Daisy Violet Collection Smell Like?

Based on the official notes, each scent opens on a fruit or candy accord, moves to a floral or berry heart, and settles on a woody or praline base. Leaked materials describe the collection as "floral, fruity, vibrant and joyful."

How the Four Compare

• Daisy Violet is violet from top to heart, over cedarwood.
• Daisy Eau So Fresh Violet pairs blackberry with green geranium and white woods.
• Daisy Wild Violet layers grape and blueberry over sandalwood. The blogger who shared the visuals noted that its blueberry heart fits the current interest in blueberry fragrances.
• Daisy Love Violet is the only one in the amber family, with sorbet and praline accords.

What Makes the Daisy Violet Collection Different?

• All four bottles are matte purple with orange lettering, replacing the usual Daisy packaging colours.
• Each scent comes with a fragrance family printed in the campaign visuals.
• Daisy Violet keeps the violet theme of the original Daisy but uses a cedarwood base instead of sandalwood.

Formula and Packaging

• Daisy Violet: matte purple bottle with the white daisy cap unchanged.
• Daisy Eau So Fresh Violet: tall Eau So Fresh bottle with a cap of white daisies with orange, green and pink centres.
• Daisy Wild Violet: Eau de Toilette, 50 ml / 1.6 fl oz, per the leaked box. The cap has white daisies with orange, pink and green centres and a gold collar. See our post on the original Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild.
• Daisy Love Violet: squat bottle with a single oversized white daisy with an orange centre.

The campaign images carry the line "Enhanced with AI."

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Daisy launched in 2007 and was created by Alberto Morillas. In 2008 it won two Fragrance Foundation FiFi Awards: women's fragrance of the year and best packaging.

Marc Jacobs often releases Daisy in limited-edition trios, such as:

• Spring (green and pink)
• Glow (yellow with neon pink, green and purple)
• the Marc Jacobs 3 New Daisy Pop Scents

Daisy Violet has four scents rather than three. No official source has confirmed whether it is limited or permanent.

Both scents centre on violet. Daisy Violet adds a candy accord and uses a cedarwood base.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet listed on marcjacobs.com, Sephora or Ulta
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed

Checked 10 October 2026: No Daisy Violet listing at Sephora US or Ulta. Ulta currently lists only the standard Daisy EDT, a Daisy EDT + travel spray 2-piece set and a Daisy 4-piece mini discovery set.

Electrum Cosmetics' Kaleidoscope Clouds Collection is a 9-pan multichrome eyeshadow palette, a cream-to-powder shadow and a highlighter. The palette costs $75, and the three-piece bundle is $100. The collection went on pre-order at electrumcosmetics.org on 9 October 2026 at 2:00 pm Eastern. Electrum is a small US indie brand that hand-makes its products in the United States and says on its FAQ that they are cruelty-free and vegan.

Updated 10 October 2026: All four products are listed as pre-orders on electrumcosmetics.org. Twinkle Highlighter is limited edition, so stock can change quickly.

Release Date

Electrum Cosmetics announced the launch for Friday, 9 October 2026, at 2:00 pm Eastern. It published the date in a launch post on its own site. On the same day, Electrum's Instagram announced the collection as "AVAILABLE NOW". Every product is sold as a pre-order. Electrum's shipping policy says pre-ordered items ship in approximately 11 weeks unless the listing states otherwise, because every item is hand-made.

Kaleidoscope Clouds Prices

The Kaleidoscope Clouds Palette costs $75. Twilight CloudSet Shadow and Twinkle Highlighter cost $15 each. The Kaleidoscope Clouds Bundle includes all three for $100. Buying the three items one by one would cost $105. Electrum lists prices in USD only.

What's Inside the Kaleidoscope Clouds Bundle

The bundle contains three products, listed on Electrum's bundle page:

• Kaleidoscope Clouds Palette: 9-pan multichrome eyeshadow palette, size not listed
• Twilight CloudSet Shadow: cream-to-powder shadow in a jar, size not listed
• Twinkle Highlighter: pressed single-pan multichrome highlight topper, size not listed

Electrum lists no sizes, so a total weight can't be given.

Kaleidoscope Clouds Shades

Electrum's palette photo shows these nine shade names:

• Whimsical
• Altocumulus
• Cirrus
• Aurora Haze
• Kaleidoscope
• Horizon
• Prism
• Golden Hour
• Cloud 9

Electrum hasn't published individual shade descriptions. For the palette as a whole, the brand says: "Cool blue becomes violet. Green catches gold. Pink reveals flashes of blue. Orange burns brighter." Its swatch photos show pastel-to-vivid multichrome sparkle that shifts between blue and violet, green and gold, pink and blue, and orange.

Twilight CloudSet is described by Electrum as "a luminous white-to-gold sparkle". Twinkle is a highlight topper with multicolored reflective sparkles.

Another cloud-themed indie eyeshadow launch this season is the MBA Cosmetics Head In The Clouds Eyeshadow Collection. For another recent indie palette, see the Glaminatrix Into the Mist Palette.

Where to Buy

• US: Electrum Cosmetics, Kaleidoscope Clouds Palette ($75), Twilight CloudSet ($15), Twinkle Highlighter ($15), Kaleidoscope Clouds Bundle ($100). All are pre-orders.
• UK: No UK retailer found. Electrum ships internationally from its own site, with prices in USD and import duties paid by the customer.
• Europe: No European retailer found. Customers can order from electrumcosmetics.org in USD, with duties paid by the customer.
• Other markets: Availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

Checked 10 October 2026: All four products are listed as pre-order on electrumcosmetics.org.

What Makes Kaleidoscope Clouds Different?

• Sky theme: Electrum named the collection after a rare optical phenomenon. The brand explains that Kaleidoscope Clouds occur when "thin, high-altitude clouds glow with soft pastel or vibrant rainbow colors".
• All-multichrome palette: All nine pans are multichromes. Electrum calls the palette "Prismatic Dreams' cooler, sparklier older sister".
• A lighter CloudSet: The original CloudSet came with Electrum's Poisoned Love collection and was "a grungy blackened purple scattered with multicolored sparkle". Twilight takes the formula to a white-to-gold sparkle.

Formula and Packaging

• Kaleidoscope Clouds Palette: According to Electrum, the multichromes are creamy and have an ultra-sparkly, high-reflective finish that builds from ethereal to intensely reflective. It is a 9-pan palette.
• Twilight CloudSet Shadow: Electrum describes a "bouncy, whipped texture in the jar". The brand says it melts onto the skin and sets to a sparkling finish without creasing. It comes in a jar, and Electrum suggests it for the lid, inner corner, brow bone and as a face highlighter.
• Twinkle Highlighter: Electrum calls it a multichrome highlight topper. It is a pressed single pan, and the brand says this limited-edition shade "will NOT return once sold out".

The Glossier Holiday 2026 Collection is a Glossier gift lineup of Glossier You fragrance sets, two new Balm Dotcom flavours and a Black Cherry Lip Duo. US prices run from $16 for a Balm Dotcom to $90 for the Glossier You Duo. The fragrance sets went on sale on 6 October 2026, and the lip products launched on 10 October 2026 at Glossier, Sephora (US and Canada), Sephora at Kohl's and Space NK.

Updated 10 October 2026: The Balm Dotcoms and Black Cherry Lip Duo are now on sale at glossier.com in the US and UK, with UK prices confirmed. Because the Balm Dotcoms and the Wardrobe Kit are limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Release Date

The Glossier Holiday 2026 Collection launched in two waves. The Mini Glossier You Wardrobe Kit and the Glossier You Duo were released on 6 October 2026, after first access in the Sephora App on 5 October 2026. Both sets appeared on glossier.com (US and UK) on 6 October 2026. The Just Baked and Toasty Nuts Balm Dotcoms and the Black Cherry Lip Duo went on sale on 10 October 2026, after first access in the Sephora App on 9 October 2026. Glossier announced the Black Cherry Duo on Instagram on 10 October 2026.

Each set costs less than the listed value of its contents.

What's Inside

• Mini Glossier You Wardrobe Kit: 4 x 5ml minis of Glossier You, You Doux, You Fleur and You Soie, per Space NK's "Set contains" (4 x 5ml = 20ml).

• Mini Glossier You Wardrobe Kit: four Glossier You scents as minis, which Glossier's site calls "limited edition mini fragrance bottles."
• Glossier You Duo: the signature Glossier You eau de parfum paired with a travel-size spray. Glossier describes it as "one for home, one for wherever."
• Just Baked Balm Dotcom: a new limited-edition flavour of Glossier's lip balm and skin salve (see our post on the original Balm Dotcom formula). Glossier describes it as having "a sugary pastry flavor and a hint of mauve." Sephora listed it as a "New Limited Edition App Exclusive" during first access.
• Toasty Nuts Balm Dotcom: a sweet and salty flavour with a subtle copper shimmer.
• Black Cherry Lip Line + Balm Duo: Glossier's name for the set on glossier.com. Sephora lists it as "Black Cherry Balm Dotcom & Mini Lip Line Lip Liner Pencil Makeup Gift Set." Glossier pitches it for a "just-bitten" look and says it delivers "rich burgundy color and effortless definition." It is not to be confused with the Black Cherry Balm Dotcom that is sold on its own.

Glossier's images show a swatch of the Black Cherry Balm Dotcom and Lip Line, a lip comparison of bare lips, Lip Line alone and Lip Line with Balm Dotcom, and two still-life shots of the duo with cherries.

Klarity Kosmetics' Ace of Spades Lip Gloss is an ultra black lip gloss that the brand said would return on 16 October 2026 alongside 14 brand-new lip glosses. The indie US brand announced the relaunch on Instagram on 10 October 2026. As of 17 October 2026 they are not yet listed on klaritykosmetics.com, and their names, shades and price haven't been announced.

Status: Announced by the brand; product pages not live yet. Klarity Kosmetics has only teased this launch, so names, shades, packaging and pricing may change before release.

Our last Klarity Kosmetics post covered the brand's 2024 Valentine's Day Pressed Pigment Bundles.

Release Date

Klarity Kosmetics says the Ace of Spades black lip gloss and 14 more new lip glosses launch on 16 October 2026. On 17 October 2026, a day after that date, a search on klaritykosmetics.com for "ace of spades" still returned no results, and no new lip glosses had been added. The brand hasn't posted a new date. No retailer launches or international release dates have been confirmed.

Price

The brand hasn't announced a price for Ace of Spades or the 14 new lip glosses. For context only, most of Klarity Kosmetics' current lip glosses on klaritykosmetics.com cost $14 (US). A few cost $15–$16. Nova, Main Attraction and Eternity, added in May 2026, are each listed at $14. These prices may not apply to the new launch.

Shades and Products

• Ace of Spades: described by the brand as its "ultra black lipgloss." This is a relaunch, not a new product. An Ace of Spades product page was on klaritykosmetics.com from at least December 2021 to August 2024, according to Wayback Machine snapshots. Klarity Kosmetics hasn't said whether the formula has changed.
• 14 new lip glosses: names and shades not yet announced.

The official packshot shows a black tube with "Klarity KOSMETICS" script lettering and an open doe-foot applicator. It also shows a glossy jet-black swatch with tiny reflective flecks.

When Did the Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist Launch?

Redken hasn't announced an official release date. The first reviews appeared on Ulta Beauty's listing on 29 September 2026. Many of them are marked as received in exchange for an honest review. By 10 October 2026 the dry shampoo was in stock at both redken.com and Ulta Beauty in the US, and Ulta marks it as New. At that point Ulta showed 98 reviews with a 4.6-star average, and redken.com showed no reviews yet.

Price

In the US, the 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz bottle costs $32.00 at both redken.com and Ulta Beauty. For comparison within the same range, the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo costs $37 for 300 ml at redken.com. No UK, Canadian or European pricing has been published yet.

Key Details

According to Redken, the mist combines glycolipids with a 12% Cleansing Complex. The brand says it absorbs, dries quickly and dissolves up to 4 days of excess oil, buildup and odour. Ulta words the same claim as "absorbs 100 hours of excess oil and buildup."

Redken lists these benefits:

• Absorbs up to 4 days of excess oil buildup in one use
• An acidic pH formula that leaves hair and scalp feeling clean
• Refreshes styles and adds volume and texture
• No white cast or powdery residue
• 89% say hair smells clean 48 hours after one use (brand claim)

Redken says the formula suits all hair types, including fine, thick, colour-treated and textured hair. It also describes the scent as light, clean and free of heavy fragrances. The scent profile shown in its product images is rose, citrus and jasmine.

What Makes the Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist Different?

• Non-aerosol mist format. It is a liquid mist with no propellants, rather than a pressurised powder spray.
• Two-phase formula with mixing beads. You shake it to activate it, and Redken's product images show stainless steel beads inside that mix the formula and help prevent the nozzle from clogging.
• Acidic positioning. It carries Redken's Acidic pH Technology into a dry shampoo, matching the Acidic Bonding Concentrate shampoo, conditioner, 5-Min Liquid Mask and Leave-In Treatment.

It arrived around the same time as the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Frosted Fig Dry Shampoo, a limited seasonal dry shampoo. Redken's launch is a non-aerosol mist rather than a seasonal scent. More launches are in our hair care section.

Formula and Packaging

• Acidic Cleansing Mist Dry Shampoo: According to Redken, its Acidic Glycolipids Complex breaks down oil without disrupting the scalp's hydration. The brand describes the formula as vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients, and 94.83% biodegradable (per OECD 301 or equivalent tests). The bottle is made with 94% recycled plastic, and Redken says it is 80% less pack-intensive than an aerosol.

How to Use

Redken says to shake the bottle well for at least 5 seconds, then section dry hair and spray the roots. Wait 30 seconds for it to dry before massaging, brushing or combing it through.

What the Brand Says

Redken ambassador Blake Reed Evans says: "I love Acidic Cleansing Mist because it gives the hair that true clean feeling, like it's actually been freshly washed. The non-aerosol mist makes it easy to refresh the hair without that heavy, powdery feel you can get from a traditional dry shampoo."

ColourPop's Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo is a dual-ended lip product pairing a peel-off lip stain with a Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil gloss. It comes in six shades at $15 each. It went on sale at colourpop.com on 1 October 2026 and is now also at Ulta Beauty in the US, where it is marked New and has no reviews yet.

Updated 10 October 2026: all six shades are in stock at colourpop.com and Ulta Beauty (US).

It's one of several ColourPop autumn 2026 launches. The others include the ColourPop Fallen Collection, released 29 September with a 15-pan eyeshadow palette, Cloud Whip Lip & Cheek Puddings and lip liners. There is also the ColourPop Disney A Very Mickey Christmas collection, launched 8 October.

When Did the ColourPop Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo Launch?

We found no official release date from ColourPop. The six shades were first on sale at colourpop.com on 1 October 2026. On 10 October 2026, all six were listed at Ulta Beauty (US). The "available now at Ulta" announcement circulating on Instagram came from a repost account, not from ColourPop. This is not a brand-new launch, but a wider retail rollout of a product ColourPop listed nine days earlier.

Price

• Single shade: $15 at colourpop.com and Ulta Beauty (US)
• Trio sets: $42 each at colourpop.com. Three singles would be $45.
• Full Collection: $84 at colourpop.com. Six singles would be $90.

For comparison, the KISS NEW YORK Line & Fill Lip Stain launched the same week. It is also a dual-ended lip stain, a marker priced at $5.99 in 10 shades.

What's Inside

ColourPop sells three Super Stain sets on its site. Each one contains full stain-and-gloss duos. ColourPop doesn't state a size for each duo.

• Stuck on U ($42): 3 duos, called "the everyday trio": Run It Back, The Valley, Latte Hour
• Lip Locked ($42): 3 duos: Kitschy, Sweet Mood, Hard to Forget
• Super Stain Full Collection ($84): all 6 duos

Together, the two trios make up the Full Collection.

2. Run It Back: warm nude stain, warm pinky nude gloss
3. The Valley: neutral tan stain, pinky mauve gloss
4. Latte Hour: warm medium brown stain, cool bronze gloss with pink shimmer

• International: No retailer listing found outside the US. colourpop.com ships to most countries, including Canada, Australia and Europe (Poland, Germany, France and others).
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at colourpop.com (all singles and sets) and at Ulta Beauty US (all six shades, "Add to bag").

What Makes the Super Stain Peel-Off Lip Stain & Gloss Duo Different?

• ColourPop calls it its "first 2-in-1 peel-off lip stain and gloss duo."
• Each duo has two contrasting shades: a stain colour and a separately described gloss colour. In Kitschy, for example, the stain is rich mauve and the gloss is sheer pink with rainbow shimmer.
• ColourPop presents it as "six duos, two looks each." The stain can be worn as a stained lip liner or all over the lips.

Formula and Packaging

• Stain end: a peel-off lip stain with a precision applicator tip, which ColourPop says gives a clean, exact line. According to the brand, the longer the stain stays on before peeling, the deeper the colour.
• Gloss end: a glassy gloss made with Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil. The brand says it leaves lips feeling hydrated and comfortable rather than sticky or heavy.
• Panel claims: ColourPop surveyed 16 people and measured immediate results. 100% said it gave buildable colour with extra layers. 94% said it peeled off cleanly and left even colour. 100% said it felt comfortable and hydrating. It's a small panel, and these are the brand's own figures.

ColourPop's directions are to apply the stain to dry, bare lips and let it dry within 5 minutes. You then peel it off and top it with the gloss end. The brand suggests prepping lips first with its Fresh Kiss Lip Scrub.

The Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag is a limited-edition set of three full-size lip, cheek and nail products, a travel perfume and a makeup bag. It costs $48 at freepeople.com (US), where Free People gives it a "$93 Value", and it was on sale with a "NEW" badge by 10 October 2026. The set mixes Free People's own lip oil with products from Freck Beauty, Kur and Vyrao.

Updated 10 October 2026: In stock at freepeople.com (US). It is not listed on Free People UK. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Free People also has a 24-door calendar this season: the 2026 Free People Curated Beauty Advent Calendar ($148).

When Did the Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag Launch?

Free People hasn't announced an official release date for the Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag. It was first seen on sale at freepeople.com (US) on 10 October 2026, marked "NEW", with no customer reviews on the listing yet.

Price

The bag costs $48 at freepeople.com (US). Free People states a $93 value. The three full-size products add up to $60 at Free People's own prices ($18 + $22 + $20). Free People doesn't price the Vyrao travel size or the makeup bag separately, so it isn't possible to break down the rest of the $93 figure.

What's Inside

Free People lists five items:

1. Limited Edition Makeup Bag, with a drawstring closure and a one-of-a-kind print. Product photos show a pink and blue woven print with a gold drawstring and tassels.
2. Free People Vegan Squalane Lip Oil in Watermelon Basil, a sheer pink tint. Full size, 0.40 fl oz / 12 mL.
3. Freck CHEEKSLIME Lip + Cheek Tint in Love Flush, a bright coral pink. Full size, 15 mL.
4. Kur Glow Getter Nail Luminizer, full size, 0.4 fl oz / 12 mL.
5. Vyrao Mamajuju Eau de Parfum, travel size. Free People doesn't state its volume.

That makes three full-size products, one travel-size fragrance and one bag.

Products and Individual Prices

At freepeople.com, the items sell for these prices on their own:

• Free People Vegan Squalane Lip Oil: $18.00
• Freck CHEEKSLIME: $22.00
• Kur Glow Getter Nail Luminizer: $20.00
• Vyrao Mamajuju Eau de Parfum: $225.00 for the full 50 mL. The travel size is not sold separately.

Kur is the nail care line from LONDONTOWN. The brand also has its own LONDONTOWN Holiday 2026 Mini Nail Sets this season.

The Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag is not to be confused with the Free People Crochet Beauty Bag. That is Free People's earlier curated summer set, also priced at $48 with a "$111 Value", and it is still listed on freepeople.com.

Where to Buy

• US: Free People ($48.00). In-store pickup may also be available at Free People stores.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. It is not listed on Free People UK.
• International: Not yet confirmed. The US listing ships only within the continental United States.
• Other markets: Availability varies by region.

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at freepeople.com (US); not listed at freepeople.com/uk. Free People ships the set only within the continental US, with no shipping to PO Boxes and no expedited shipping. Free in-store pickup is offered.

What Makes the Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag Different?

• It covers four categories in one bag: lip, cheek, nail and fragrance.
• Free People says the bag "doubles as a purse for your next night out", so the pouch is meant to be used as an accessory too.
• It combines Free People's in-house lip oil with three outside brands: Freck, Kur and Vyrao.

Formula and Packaging

• Free People Vegan Squalane Lip Oil: The formula is built on squalane. Free People says its in-house beauty line is made in the USA, vegan and cruelty-free.
• Freck CHEEKSLIME: Free People calls it "a cream blush designed to deliver a fresh, healthy flush of color to the cheeks with a lightweight, cloud-skin finish." It is labelled for both lips and cheeks.
• Kur Glow Getter Nail Luminizer: According to Free People, it has an ultra-fine shimmer and forms a shiny protective shell over dull nails.
• Vyrao Mamajuju Eau de Parfum: Free People lists the notes as Australian sandalwood, saffron, cumin, nutmeg, cardamom, pink pepper, rum absolute, wet red clay and olibanum.
