New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

The M-61 and Lune+Aster Holiday 2026 Gift Sets are 14 limited-edition skincare and makeup sets, including a Twelve Days of Beauty advent calendar. The collection has seven M-61 skincare sets and seven Lune+Aster makeup sets, priced from $24 to $180, and Bluemercury currently lists them as exclusives. All 14 have been on sale at bluemercury.com since 8 September 2026.

Updated 17 October 2026: all 14 sets are in stock at bluemercury.com. Because they are limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the M-61 and Lune+Aster Holiday 2026 Sets Launch?

Bluemercury hasn't announced an official release date. Bluemercury's store data shows all 14 sets were published on bluemercury.com on 8 September 2026. That date is observed, not official. Bluemercury's Instagram "first look" post describes the sets as "only available at Bluemercury."

M-61 Holiday 2026 Skincare Sets

Bluemercury's product images show the M-61 sets on blue, green and pink stripes, stacked like gift boxes.

M-61 makes several claims about these products:

• PowerGlow Peel: M-61 describes it as a one-minute, one-step peel pad with 7% glycolic acid.
• Hydraboost trio: the brand says the trio was clinically tested for up to 48 hours of hydration in an independent study of 30 participants.
• Perfect Travel Set: M-61 positions it for sensitive skin.
• ProSculpt body serum and cream: M-61 reports that 92% of participants said their skin felt smoother when using the two together.

Lune+Aster Holiday 2026 Makeup Sets

Bluemercury's product images show the Lune+Aster sets in red holiday boxes.

The Multi Sticks in Blush + Glow are the formats Lune+Aster sells in full size after its Lune+Aster relaunch at Bluemercury in October 2026, which introduced new navy-and-silver packaging. The holiday sets went on sale before that relaunch. Bluemercury marks Masked + Merry as HSA/FSA eligible.

What's Inside the Twelve Days of Beauty Advent Calendar

Twelve Days of Beauty is Lune+Aster's advent calendar. Bluemercury's product page lists 12 items, made up of 5 lip products, 3 cream eyeshadow sticks, 2 mascaras, 1 eyeliner and 1 brush:

The highest stated values belong to the PowerGlow Peel Vault ($180 price against a $360 value) and Twelve Days of Beauty ($98 price against a $220 value). For every set, the price is what you pay for the set, and the value is what Bluemercury says the items would cost bought one by one.

The Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Collector Eau de Toilette is a limited-edition 50 ml bottle of the 2006 Nina EDT, with notes of toffee apple and lemon. It costs €95 on Nina Ricci's EU site, where it is listed as early access, and €95.40 at Notino France. Both retailers had it in stock on 17 October 2026.

Updated 17 October 2026: In stock at Nina Ricci EU (early access) and Notino France. It is listed on Nina Ricci's US site at $109, but online purchase was not offered when we checked. UK availability is not yet confirmed. Because it's a limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Launch?

Nina Ricci hasn't announced an official release date. On 17 October 2026, Nina Ricci's EU site already had Nina Silky Snow on sale, labelled "Early access on NR.com". Notino France had it in stock the same day, listed as "Nouveau". Fragrance creators on Instagram also described it as "out now" in the UK and EU.

Price

• EU: €95 for 50 ml on Nina Ricci's EU site
• France: €95.40 for 50 ml at Notino France
• US: listed on Nina Ricci's US site at $109 for 50 ml; online purchase not offered when checked on 17 October 2026
• UK: Not yet confirmed

The regular Nina Eau de Toilette costs €91 for 50 ml on the same EU site. The collector bottle is €4 more.

Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Fragrance Notes

Nina Ricci hasn't published a full top, heart and base pyramid for Silky Snow. The brand highlights two key notes: toffee apple and lemon. Its product page describes "chilled top notes of lemon," a floral heart and a comforting trail.

Notino France's listing and Fragrantica give a fuller breakdown:

• Top (per Notino France/Fragrantica): lime, Calabrian lemon
• Heart (per Notino France/Fragrantica): caramelised (toffee) apple, gardenia
• Base (per Notino France/Fragrantica): cedarwood, white musk

What Does Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Smell Like?

Built from the brand's own notes, the scent opens on lemon, then moves to a floral heart wrapped around toffee apple. Nina Ricci calls it "a limited-edition women's perfume with notes of toffee apple and lemon." The brand also says it "features the gourmand citrus-floral perfume of Nina Eau de Toilette, a captivating scent that is as irresistible as a mouth-watering toffee apple."

The two share the same fragrance; only the bottle and box are new.

Where to Buy

• US: Nina Ricci US lists it at $109, with only a "Find nearest store" button and no online checkout
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Nina Ricci's UK site redirects to the EU store, and the bottle was not found at Notino UK or John Lewis

On 17 October 2026, Nina Ricci's EU site was also offering the Nina Silky Snow Shimmering Body Oil (15 ml, not sold separately) with purchases of €90 or more.

What Makes the Nina Silky Snow Different?

• It is a collector bottle of an existing fragrance, the 2006 Nina EDT, not a new scent.
• It comes in a single 50 ml size, while the regular Nina EDT is sold in 30, 50 and 80 ml.
• The apple bottle is glazed in glossy cream and tied with a white satin bow set with crystal-like studs.

Other Holiday 2026 collector bottles include the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male & Divine Collector Edition 2026 and the Dior J'adore Music Box Holiday 2026 perfume. For gift sets, see the Jo Malone London Holiday 2026 Collection.

Formula and Packaging

• Formula: According to Nina Ricci, Nina Eau de Toilette is made with 90% natural-origin ingredients. It includes upcycled Italian lemon taken from fruit the food industry rejected for size or appearance. The brand describes it as vegan and says it doesn't test on animals.
• Packaging: The box is deep plum with a white apple-shaped "Nina Silky Snow" label. Nina Ricci suggests you "mist a snowy fragrance cloud all around you and then layer onto pulse points."

The Dolce&Gabbana Everlift Luminizer is an oil-infused soft-halo powder highlighter, now relaunched in three pearl-infused shades instead of one. The three shades cost £57 in the UK and €61 in Germany, France and Italy on Dolce&Gabbana's own online stores, where they were on sale by 16 October 2026. They replace the original single-shade Everlift Luminizer 00 Universal Light.

Updated 17 October 2026: in stock on Dolce&Gabbana UK, Germany, France and Italy; not yet listed in the US.

Dolce&Gabbana's other beauty launch this season is the Dolce&Gabbana Beauty Advent Calendar 2026.

From the same Huda El Mufti campaign, Dolce&Gabbana also introduced the Dolce&Gabbana Everlast Powder Foundation, on sale at Sephora Middle East by 19 October 2026.

When Did the Dolce&Gabbana Everlift Luminizer Launch?

Dolce&Gabbana hasn't announced an official release date. German beauty news first reported the relaunch as released on 16 October 2026. A check on 17 October 2026 found all three shades on sale at Dolce&Gabbana's UK store, where they were marked "NEW IN", and at its German, French and Italian online stores. The new shades were not yet listed on dolcegabbana.com in the US.

Price

All three shades are the same price on Dolce&Gabbana's own sites:

• UK: £57
• Germany, France, Italy: €61
• US: Not yet announced

Shades

The official packshots show three shades:

• 01 Celestial Halo: pale pink-pearl
• 02 Golden Aura: peachy gold
• 03 Bronze Light: warm bronze/copper

According to Dolce&Gabbana's UK site, the three shades "deliver an illuminated and lifted appearance to the skin."

What's new: both versions are Everlift Luminizer powders, but the relaunch replaces the single universal shade with three tinted shades. Dolce&Gabbana's US site and retailers still sell the original 00 Universal Light.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. The new shades aren't listed on Dolce&Gabbana's US site yet, which still sells the original 00 Universal Light ($61).
• UK: Dolce&Gabbana UK, £57 each: 01 Celestial Halo, 02 Golden Aura, 03 Bronze Light. Harrods, Selfridges and Sephora UK: not yet confirmed.
• Europe: Dolce&Gabbana Germany (€61), Dolce&Gabbana France (€61), Dolce&Gabbana Italy (€61). Poland: not yet confirmed, because Douglas Poland and Notino Poland list only 00 Universal Light.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 17 October 2026: in stock on Dolce&Gabbana UK, Germany, France and Italy; not yet listed in the US.

What Makes the Everlift Luminizer Different?

• It now comes in three shades, from pink-pearl to bronze, instead of the single 00 Universal Light.
• The format is an oil-infused powder with pearl pigments, which Dolce&Gabbana calls a "soft-halo powder".
• The pan is embossed with the DG Sacred Heart and DG logo.

Formula and Packaging

• Key ingredients: Dolce&Gabbana says raspberry extract is "added to improve skin barrier" and that Italian grapes are "known to boost collagen." The brand also cites a lifting and awakening effect, based on a self-evaluation test, and up to 16 hours of wear, based on a clinical test.
• Packaging: the mirrored compact is topped with the DG Sacred Heart (Devotion heart) emblem and comes with a bespoke flat brush.

For another highlighter that launched this month, see the Haus Labs Glassy Golden Bio-Radiant Glassy Highlighter Balm. The brand's earlier complexion launches include the Dolce & Gabbana Fig Skin Perfector and Bergamot Primer.

How to Apply

The powder can be swept from the cheekbones to the temples and along the jawline and forehead. It can also be worn on the eyelids. Browse more makeup releases.

• 6 serums and treatments: ampoule, serums, booster shot
• 2 creams
• 1 wash-off mask
• 1 set of pads (2 pieces)

What Makes the OLIVE YOUNG x Sephora Advent Calendar Different?

• Curated by OLIVE YOUNG: Sephora says the brands are 12 "K-Beauty Hall of Fame" names chosen by the Korean retailer.
• 13-product format: it holds 13 products from 12 brands rather than a 12- or 24-day countdown, and Sephora suggests opening one numbered compartment each day.
• Pop-up packaging: the box opens into a green Seoul skyline with an OLIVE YOUNG storefront. It carries the text "Discover the K-Beauty Hall of Fame."

Other K-beauty calendars this season include the Boots x StyleKorean K-Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 and the Lookfantastic 12 Days of K-Beauty Advent Calendar. Sephora's in-house holiday range is covered in our post on the Sephora Collection Holiday 2026 Gift Sets.

Experiment's Glycerin Discovery Skincare Hydration Set is a three-step barrier kit with a full-size Super Saturated serum and two minis. The set costs $42 at Sephora US and on experimentbeauty.com, which both state a $54 value. It went on sale in the Sephora app on 15 October 2026, then on Sephora's other platforms and Experiment's own site on 16 October 2026. Sephora says the glycerin-powered kit is designed to cleanse, hydrate and support the skin barrier.

Updated 17 October 2026: Experiment now sells the set on its own site, experimentbeauty.com, for $42, and it was in stock when we checked on 17 October. Sephora US also lists it at $42, now as an online-only item.

Release Date

Sephora US lists the set as "available exclusively in app 10/15, all other platforms 10/16". That means it went on sale in the Sephora app on 15 October 2026 and on Sephora's other platforms on 16 October 2026. On 15 October, the listing carried a "New" badge and pointed shoppers to the Sephora app to buy. Pickup isn't offered for this item.

The set appeared on experimentbeauty.com on 16 October 2026. Experiment announced it on Instagram the same week as "now available at experimentbeauty.com and Sephora".

Price

The set costs $42 at Sephora US and on experimentbeauty.com. Both list a $54 value for the set. The two minis aren't sold on their own, so there's no item-by-item breakdown that adds up to that figure.

On experimentbeauty.com, the full-size Super Saturated serum costs $28 on its own.

This set is not to be confused with Experiment's 360 Barrier Routine ($72 at experimentbeauty.com). That bundle contains the same three products, and the brand calls it an $80 value. The Glycerin Discovery Set is the cheaper, smaller-size option, at $42 on the same site.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these three products: one full-size serum and two minis.

• Plasma Wash Moisture-Depositing Gel Cream Cleanser with Glycerin, 1.35 oz / 40 mL (mini)
• Super Saturated Hydrating Barrier Serum with 30% Glycerin + Polyglutamic Acid, 1.35 oz / 40 mL (full size)
• Molecular Mesh Barrier Strengthening Moisturizer with Ectoin + Centella, 0.67 oz / 20 mL (mini)

For comparison, the brand site sells Plasma Wash full size at 150 ml for $22 and Molecular Mesh at 60 ml for $30. Super Saturated also comes in a Jumbo 80 ml size for $46.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($42, online only). In the Sephora app from 15 October 2026, and on Sephora's other platforms from 16 October 2026.
• US (brand site): Experiment ($42), from 16 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Not yet confirmed (not listed at Sephora Canada)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

Checked 17 October 2026: in stock on experimentbeauty.com ($42); listed at Sephora US as online only ($42); not listed at Sephora Canada.

You can browse more skincare releases on our site. Sephora also carries another mini hydration kit, the Fenty Skin Quench Kit.

What Makes the Glycerin Discovery Skincare Hydration Set Different?

• The full-size product is the serum, while the cleanser and moisturizer come as minis.
• Super Saturated contains 30% glycerin. According to Experiment, glycerin above 25% helps replenish the barrier as well as hydrate.
• At $42, it costs $30 less than Experiment's $72 360 Barrier Routine, which has the same three products in full sizes.

Other barrier-focused kits this season include the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Routine Firming & Barrier Repair Set and Paula's Choice Holiday 2026 Skincare Kits.

Formulas and Packaging

• Plasma Wash uses glycerin, amino-acid surfactants and castoryl maleate. Experiment says castoryl maleate helps glycerin stay on the skin after rinsing. It is a low-foaming gel-cream. In the brand's 35-person study, Experiment reports a 33% increase in skin hydration eight hours after use.
• Super Saturated contains 30% glycerin, polyglutamic acid, 2% niacinamide and squalane. It is a concentrate meant for damp skin, and the brand says malachite extract gives it its blue colour. Experiment reports a 96% improvement in hydration immediately after use in a 30-person study.
• Molecular Mesh contains ectoin, centella asiatica, phytosphingosine and squalane. The brand describes it as a lightweight cream that doesn't pill under SPF. In a 32-person study, Experiment reports a 28% decrease in redness after two weeks.

Sephora's listing contains a contradiction on fragrance. It says all three formulas are fragrance-free and made with sensitive skin in mind. Its "Ingredient Callouts" line also says the products contain less than one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to Use

Sephora's directions are to massage Plasma Wash onto damp skin and rinse, then apply one to two pumps of Super Saturated to damp skin. Follow with a small amount of Molecular Mesh, and add sunscreen during the day.

The Kopari Daily Skin Reset Kit is a three-piece skincare set with a gel cleanser, a ceramide and retinol eye balm, and a ceramide moisturizer. Kopari Beauty's kit costs $49 at Ulta Beauty, which values it at $93. Kopari announced it as "now available" online and in Ulta stores on 15 October 2026.

Updated 17 October 2026: in stock online at Ulta Beauty, which currently lists it as "Only at Ulta". The kit is not listed on koparibeauty.com.

When Did the Kopari Daily Skin Reset Kit Launch?

Kopari hasn't announced an official release date. The brand announced the kit on Instagram on 15 October 2026 as "now available online & in-store" at Ulta Beauty. On 17 October 2026, Ulta's product page showed the kit as "In stock and ready to ship."

Price

The Kopari Daily Skin Reset Kit costs $49 at Ulta Beauty in the US. Ulta states a $93 value for the set. Ulta and Kopari list these full-size prices for the three products:

• Marine Clean Purifying Gel Cleanser: $32 for 5.0 oz at Ulta
• Ceramide & Retinol Dual-Core Eye Balm: $42 on koparibeauty.com
• Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream: $44 at Ulta and koparibeauty.com

This kit is not to be confused with two sets listed on koparibeauty.com: Kopari's Moisture Lock Ceramide Set ($78) and its Marine Moisture Skincare Duo ($64).

What's Inside

Ulta lists three products, numbered on the box as a cleanse, treat and hydrate routine:

1. Marine Clean Purifying Gel Cleanser (1.0 oz). This is a travel size; the full size is 5.0 oz.
2. Ceramide & Retinol Dual-Core Eye Balm (0.10 oz). This is the same size as the full-size stick.
3. Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream (2.1 oz). This is the same size as the full-size jar.

So the kit holds one travel-size product and two products in their full sizes. Ulta describes it as a "travel-friendly 3-piece routine."

Where to Buy

• US: Ulta Beauty ($49), online and in stores
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed (the listing is currently at Ulta only)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 17 October 2026: in stock online at Ulta Beauty; not listed on koparibeauty.com.

What Makes the Kopari Daily Skin Reset Kit Different?

• Ulta-only listing: Ulta currently lists the kit as "Only at Ulta," and it does not appear on Kopari's own site.
• Mostly full sizes: the eye balm and the cream match their full-size versions. Only the cleanser is a travel size.
• Face-focused format: the kit groups three Kopari facial skincare products into a numbered three-step routine. Kopari's earlier Jumbo Santal Hydrating Body Wash was a body-care launch.

Key Ingredients

According to Kopari and Ulta, the kit relies on barrier-supporting ceramides, gentle retinol and hydrating actives. Each product's key ingredients and format are:

• Marine Clean Purifying Gel Cleanser: a gel-to-foam cleanser with algae extracts, amino acids and vitamin B5. The brand says it removes makeup and impurities without stripping skin.
• Ceramide & Retinol Dual-Core Eye Balm: a stick balm with ceramides and gentle retinol. Kopari says it helps smooth fine lines and nourish, and that it brightens and depuffs.

- In a Kopari consumer study of 51 participants over 30 days, 94% said it improved skin's texture.

- In the same study, 94% said skin looked and felt hydrated, and 90% said skin felt smoother.

• Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream: a lightweight moisturizer with ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Kopari says it is "clinically proven to provide 72 hours of hydration." That claim refers to up to 72 hours as measured by a corneometer in an independent clinical study with 26 panelists.

Other hydration-focused sets this season include the Dezi Skin Agua Fresca Hydration Gift Set and the Bubble Holiday 2026 Sets. Browse more skincare launches.
