MILK MAKEUP's The Party Pair Lip + Cheek Blush Set is a limited-edition set of two full-size cream sticks for lips and cheeks, in Werk and Float. It pairs a Lip + Cheek stick with a Lip + Cheek Blur stick in a silver MILK tin and costs $34 at Sephora US, where it was listed as New by 9 October 2026. It is part of the MILK MAKEUP Holiday 2026 value sets, a line-up of MILK MAKEUP sets built around the brand's multitasking cream sticks.

Updated 9 October 2026: currently listed at Sephora US ($34) and Sephora Canada (CA$44). Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the MILK MAKEUP The Party Pair Launch?

MILK MAKEUP hasn't announced an official release date for The Party Pair. An Instagram post reported the set as available at Sephora. When we checked on 9 October 2026, Sephora US and Sephora Canada both listed it as New, and Sephora US also tagged it Limited Edition.

Party Pair Price

The set costs $34 at Sephora US, which lists a "$56.00 value". That figure matches MILK's own US prices of $28 each for Lip + Cheek and Lip + Cheek Blur. In Canada, the set is CA$44 at Sephora Canada, which states a CA$72 value without a breakdown.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these products:

• Lip + Cheek in Werk: satin, second-skin finish, 0.28 oz / 8 g
• Lip + Cheek Blur in Float: blurred, soft-focus finish, 0.28 oz / 8 g

The set holds two full-size sticks, one in each finish.

Shades

• Werk: MILK describes this shade as "Dusty rose". The set's swatch card shows it as a coral dusty-rose texture. MILK's own photos show Werk on cheeks and lips on three models.
• Float: Sephora calls Float a limited-edition red, and the swatch card shows a bright red texture. Float isn't sold on its own on milkmakeup.com. The regular Lip + Cheek Blur shades there are Vapor, Cloud 9, Wisp, Veil, Puff, Feather, Ether and Shade.

The set is not to be confused with the rhode Pocket Pair Limited Edition Lip + Cheek Set, a different brand's lip and cheek duo that is also new at Sephora US at $38 ("$45 value").

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($34). The set was not on milkmakeup.com as of 9 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Sephora Canada (CA$44)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 9 October 2026: listed at Sephora US and Sephora Canada; not found at Sephora UK or Cult Beauty.

What Makes the Party Pair Different?

• It puts both of MILK's Lip + Cheek finishes in one set: the satin Lip + Cheek and the soft-focus Lip + Cheek Blur.
• Float is a limited-edition red that is not part of the regular Lip + Cheek Blur shade range on milkmakeup.com.
• According to MILK, the current Lip + Cheek comes in next-gen packaging with a creamier texture than before.

Formula and Packaging

• Lip + Cheek (Werk): MILK says it hydrates with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and nourishing oils, including pomegranate flower and jojoba oil. The brand claims up to 8 hours of wear. MILK notes the stick has a low level of natural tangerine fragrance.
• Lip + Cheek Blur (Float): This stick uses the same key ingredients, according to MILK, with a blurred, soft-focus finish and a claimed 8 hours of wear.
• Packaging: The sticks come in a silver MILK tin, as shown in Sephora's packshot. MILK describes both formulas as vegan, cruelty-free and non-comedogenic, and says they are safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

For other formulas from the brand, see our posts on the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint, MILK's gel lip and cheek stain, and Milk Makeup New Shades of Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss. You can also browse all makeup releases.

How to use: MILK says to swipe the stick directly onto lips, cheeks or both. Then blend with fingertips, a brush or a sponge, and build for more colour. Over full-coverage foundation, the brand suggests pressing the colour on rather than swiping.

Sephora US lists it at $35.00 as a new, online-only limited edition, and Rabanne hasn't announced a release date. It is the latest gourmand addition to Rabanne's Fame fragrance family.

Rabanne's other Holiday 2026 launch is the Rabanne Advent Calendar Holiday 2026.

Updated 9 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($35.00, online only); stock status could not be checked. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Will the Rabanne Fame Gummies Mini Trio Launch?

Rabanne hasn't announced an official release date. A fragrance creator's Instagram post described the set as "coming soon" and "arriving soon at Sephora." The Sephora US listing was live when we checked on 9 October 2026, but we can't confirm the set can be bought yet.

Total size is not yet confirmed. These are three new scents, not minis of existing Fame fragrances.

Rabanne Fame Gummies Mini Trio Fragrance Notes

Rabanne hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for any of the three scents. Rabanne's key visual highlights three notes per scent:

• Peachy Girl: peach, chantilly cream, sandalwood
• Marshmallow Baby: sour raspberry, marshmallow, vanilla
• Citrus Sweety: candied lemon, milk, orange blossom

What Does Rabanne Fame Gummies Mini Trio Smell Like?

Based on the official notes, Peachy Girl pairs fruit with whipped cream over a woody sandalwood base. Marshmallow Baby sets a tart berry against marshmallow and vanilla. Citrus Sweety combines sugared citrus with a milky note and orange blossom.

Rabanne's key visual describes the notes as "sweet peach, creamy chantilly, warm sandalwood," "sour raspberry, soft marshmallow, creamy vanilla" and "candied lemon, velvety milk, sunny orange blossom." Its campaign images illustrate them as a peach sundae, a marshmallow skewer and a lemon meringue.

Checked 9 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($35.00, tagged New, Limited Edition and Online Only); stock status not available. Not found at Sephora Canada, Ulta Beauty, Macy's or rabanne.com.

What Makes the Rabanne Fame Gummies Mini Trio Different?

• Three new scents: Peachy Girl, Marshmallow Baby and Citrus Sweety are new compositions, not minis of existing Fame fragrances.
• Candy-themed packaging: the robot-shaped Fame bottles come in orange, pink and yellow, packed in a striped sweet-shop pouch.
• Gourmand focus: every scent combines a fruit note with a dessert note such as chantilly cream, marshmallow or milk.

The Fame Lineup

The Gummies join Rabanne's wider Fame lineup:

It costs $52 in the US and £42 in the UK at charlottetilbury.com, Sephora, Selfridges and Space NK, and it was on sale on Charlotte Tilbury's US and UK sites by 1 October 2026. The kit is part of the Charlotte Tilbury Holiday Sets and comes with a mini velvet charm bag.

The brand's larger Pillow Talk holiday offering is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Dreams Come True Gift Set, a $390 16-piece vanity case.

Updated 9 October 2026: The set is in stock at Charlotte Tilbury (US, UK, Canada, Australia, EU), Selfridges and Space NK, and listed at Sephora US and Sephora Canada. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The GLOSSYBOX Christmas Collection 2026 includes three limited-edition gift sets: an Advent Calendar, a Christmas Stocking and a Christmas Cracker. GLOSSYBOX calls the collection its "Christmas Edits". The Beauty Wrapped Advent Calendar holds 26 products and costs £90, the Stocking holds 9 products for £35, and the Cracker holds 7 products for £25. All three are sold at glossybox.co.uk, with the calendar on sale by 29 September 2026.

The Christmas Edits also include the GLOSSYBOX Grooming Kit (£40), which we covered separately.

Updated 9 October 2026: all three sets are in stock at glossybox.co.uk, usually dispatched within 24 hours. Because they are limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the GLOSSYBOX Christmas Collection 2026 Launch?

GLOSSYBOX hasn't announced an official release date for the collection. The first customer reviews of the Advent Calendar on glossybox.co.uk are dated 29 September 2026, so the calendar was on sale by then. On 9 October 2026, the Christmas Stocking and Christmas Cracker were listed as in stock but had no reviews yet.

Prices

• Advent Calendar: £90, or £75 for subscribers. GLOSSYBOX says non-subscribers save £15 by adding a subscription to their basket alongside the calendar.
• Christmas Stocking: £35, or £30 for subscribers.
• Christmas Cracker: £25, or £20 for subscribers.

Each set's value figure is GLOSSYBOX's own estimate of what the items would cost if bought separately. GLOSSYBOX doesn't publish a price for each item in the Advent Calendar.

What's Inside

• Beauty Wrapped Advent Calendar: 26 products
• Christmas Stocking: 9 products

GLOSSYBOX doesn't publish item sizes, so no total size is given.
