New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

If your signature scent leans warm, sweet, and just a little dessert-inspired, Le Monde Gourmand has a new mini set with your name on it. The Le Petit Duo Set: Crème pairs two of the brand's gourmand Eau de Parfums — Crème Vanille and the limited-edition Pumpkin Crème — in travel-friendly 20 ml bottles tucked inside a red gift box. Spotted on Sephora Italia and currently listed for €38, it's a tempting way to try both scents before committing to a full size.

Inside the Le Petit Duo Set: Crème

The set brings together two of Le Monde Gourmand's cosiest gourmands in 20 ml minis. The brand sells both scents in full-size 30 ml bottles, shown in the photos below.

Crème Vanille Eau de Parfum

An elevated vanilla the brand describes as timeless and nostalgic, with a smooth, ambery warmth. The pyramid opens on creamy apricot, melts into a heart of vanilla orchid, and settles on a base of brown sugar and golden amber. One reviewer says it's "like being hugged by a vanilla bean" — ideal if you want a soft, everyday signature that isn't cloying.

Best for: vanilla lovers, year-round wear, layering fans.

Pumpkin Crème Eau de Parfum

A limited-edition fall scent that takes classic pumpkin spice in a creamy, comforting direction. Top notes of Pumpkin Spice give way to nutmeg and frothed milk, with a cosy base of musk and sandalwood.

Best for: autumn obsessives, sweater-weather commutes, anyone who wants a spiced-gourmand twist on vanilla.

Layering Tip: Vanilla + Pumpkin Spice

Le Monde Gourmand is built for mixing, and these two were practically made to be layered. Spray Pumpkin Crème first on pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows), then layer Crème Vanille on top — the creamy apricot and vanilla orchid soften the spice and extend the drydown into something milky, warm, and dessert-like. For extra longevity, apply an unscented body oil or lotion to clean skin before spritzing, and avoid rubbing your wrists together.

If your beauty mood board has turned to burgundy leaves and candlelit copper, Dyson has a hair tool to match. The new Dyson Plum/Copper Special Edition brings an autumnal colourway to the brand's hair-care range: a deep plum body with copper and brass accents, paired with a black-and-copper storage case. Italian beauty fans are already calling it an "extremely autumnal mood". Dyson's US site labels the shades "NEW Special edition". Here's what's in the range and what each tool costs.

In the US, the Airwrap i.d. comes in both Straight+Wavy and Curly+Coily versions at the same price.

Why the Supersonic Nural Stands Out

The Dyson Supersonic Nural is the most affordable tool in the US line-up ($449.99), and it has the most built-in technology. It is designed to protect both your hair and your scalp:

• Scalp protect mode: a time-of-flight sensor measures how far the dryer is from your head and lowers the heat as you get closer. Dyson claims a 3x stronger scalp barrier and up to 96% more shine.
• Attachment learning: each magnetic attachment is recognised and remembers your last-used settings.
• Pause detect: when you put the dryer down, it cuts the heat and reduces airflow.
• Five attachments, including the Wave+Curl diffuser, Styling concentrator and Flyaway attachment.
• Three speeds, four heat levels and a cold shot to set your style.

Many reviewers mention faster drying. One reviewer says their blow-dry went from 45 minutes to 20.

Styling Tips for Your New Tool

• Reaching the back of your head: turn the attachment 45° and dry slowly from root to ends.
• Monthly filter care: soak the magnetic filter cage in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes, then rinse, dry and wipe the filter clean. This keeps airflow strong.
• Curls and coils: use the diffuser's dome mode to define waves. Use diffuse mode for volume at the root.
• Using Attachment learning: switch off Scalp protect mode first, using the button on the clear end cap.

Is the Plum/Copper Edition Worth It?

These Special Edition tools work the same as the standard versions. You're paying for the colour and the matching case. If you've been waiting to buy, the plum and copper finish makes an easy choice for a seasonal treat or a gift.

Where to Buy

• US: Dyson: Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy ($649.99), Airwrap i.d. Curly+Coily ($649.99), Supersonic Nural ($449.99), Supersonic r ($549.99), Airstrait ($499.99)

Welcome to Beneville, the fictional town behind Benefit Cosmetics' Holiday 2026 gift sets. Each box is a collectible building or vehicle: a town-hall clock tower, a pink tower, a golf-club tin, a flower shop, a mini-mart, a radio, a bus and even an ice-cream cone. Inside are the brand's bestsellers, including BADgal BANG!, Hoola, Benetint and 24-HR Brow Setter. The sets are on sale now, and Italian beauty fans have spotted them at Sephora Italy too. Here are the products, the prices and our picks for each type of beauty lover.

Lookfantastic also lists two more Beneville sets:

• Beneville Beauty Salon includes Benetint Dark Cherry, BADgal BANG! and Hoola. It costs £39.50.

• Mascara fans: The Lash Scoop gives you two full-size BADgal BANG! mascaras. Use the classic for everyday and the waterproof for parties. BADgal Hypetower adds a waterproof gel liner.
• Full-face beginners: The Glam Golf Club covers every step in travel sizes. Apply the POREfessional primer first, then the mascara, Benetint on lips and cheeks, Hoola to warm the face and WILLA for a soft rose flush.
• Cheek palette fans: Beauty Bus Stop packs bronzer, blush and highlighter into one slim palette that fits a clutch.
• Best value: The Glam Golf Club costs £34.00 at Lookfantastic. Buying each item separately would cost £68.61. For a bigger splurge, The Hotel Beneville costs £149.00 against a value if bought separately of £307.41.

Spooky season just got scarier. Glamlite, the brand known for its pop-culture collaborations, has launched The Conjuring & Annabelle Horror Box, marketed as the "5 Days of Horror Box." It's the brand's first-ever limited-edition horror box, officially licensed from Warner Bros.' The Conjuring and Annabelle films, and it comes with a twist: you won't know what's inside until it's revealed.

What's New: Glamlite's First Horror Mystery Box

Glamlite is known for its themed, pop-culture collections, but this launch is new in two ways. It's the brand's first dedicated horror box, and it's a true mystery box. The box holds five full-sized products, revealed one at a time over five days under the tagline "5 days. 5 mystery products. 5 horrifying reveals."

The products are not revealed before purchase, so the shades, formulas and product types are still under wraps. We'll update this post as each reveal drops.

The Packaging

From the first images, the box itself is a collectible:

• Outside: dark haunted-house and forest artwork with a hanging noose, a holographic rainbow foil streak, red dripping "HORROR" lettering and The Conjuring and Annabelle logos.
• Inside: a holographic lid and an insert with five numbered compartments (1 to 5), decorated with a spider web, crime-scene tape, bats, a bare tree and blood splatter. One compartment shows a small cylindrical item, but its identity is still a mystery.

Release Date and How the Reservation Works

The box is available now as an exclusive reservation for $90. The key details:

• Orders won't begin processing until 12 October 2026 or later. That's the estimated shipping start date.
• Your purchase guarantees a box once reservation orders begin fulfilment.
• Because of the mystery format, all sales are final. No returns or exchanges are accepted.

Tips Before You Reserve

• Buy for the experience. This box suits horror fans and collectors who enjoy the surprise. If you only want specific shades, wait for the reveals.
• Plan your Halloween looks loosely. With shipping starting 12 October, the box could arrive in time for Halloween. Delivery timing isn't guaranteed, though, so have a backup plan for any event.
• Patch-test anything new. Check each product's labelling when it arrives and follow its usage guidance.

Where to Buy

• US: Glamlite ($90)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

As far as we can confirm, the box is not sold at Ulta or other retailers. Glamlite's official site is the only place to reserve it.

Will you take a chance on the mystery, or wait for all five reveals? Either way, The Conjuring & Annabelle Horror Box looks set to be one of the most talked-about Halloween makeup drops of the season.

Lilly Lashes has given its Everyday Collection style Blushing a glue-free makeover. The new Blushing Self-Adhesive Lash Kit launched on 2 October 2026 and brings the brand's flirty, fluttery Blushing lash to its peel-and-press line. If lash glue has ever left you with sticky fingertips or a lifting corner by lunchtime, this one deserves a spot in your makeup bag.

What's New: Blushing Goes Glue-Free

Blushing is described as the flirtiest style in the Everyday Collection. It's a round, fluttery lash made from multiple layers of hand-placed 13mm faux mink fibres on a soft cotton band. The result is a subtle lift in volume rather than full drama, so it works well with daytime makeup. It's also designed to be worn with glasses.

The 2026 kit pairs that style with Lilly Lashes' self-adhesive band. The band is pre-glued and activated by body heat, so you don't need separate lash glue. The brand compares it to sticky boob tape technology. Other claims include:

• No glue needed: you can apply and reposition the lashes in seconds
• 24-hour hold, according to the brand
• Reusable for 5+ wears per pair, based on a consumer panel study of 25 people
• A black lash band that looks like eyeliner
• A pillowy, lightweight band for all-day comfort

Each kit includes two pairs of 3D faux mink lashes and an applicator. The launch post on the brand's Instagram calls it a special-edition pink applicator.

Price: Is It Worth It?

The kit costs $34 on the Lilly Lashes site. The regular glue-on Blushing strip lash is $20 for one pair. With the kit you get two pairs, built-in adhesive and a tool. If you reuse each pair several times, the cost per wear is very reasonable. The site also offers free standard shipping on orders of $35 or more.

How to Apply Self-Adhesive Lashes

1. Prep: Curl your natural lashes and add a light coat of mascara if you like.
2. Measure and trim: Peel the lashes off their holders and trim them to fit your eye.
3. Place: Lay the band along your lash line and wait about 30 seconds so your body heat can warm the adhesive.
4. Press: Press the band into your lash line.

Care Tips to Make Them Last

• If the band loses some grip, warm it with a hair dryer for a few seconds and apply again.
• Always store the lashes on their original holders to keep them sticky and in shape.
• After 2–3 wears, wipe the band with water or an oil-free makeup remover. This cleans it and brings back the tack.
• When the band stops sticking, you can still wear the lashes with lash glue like a standard strip lash.

Keep the lashes out of your eyes, and stop using them if irritation occurs.

Finding a gift for the man who says he "doesn't really do skincare" just got easier. The GLOSSYBOX Grooming Gift Guide is a limited-edition festive box with 8 grooming essentials from NUXE, Molton Brown, Philip Kingsley, Aromatherapy Associates and more, all packed into a sleek navy grooming bag. GLOSSYBOX describes it as "the gift of great grooming," curated to refresh, refine and elevate his routine. It costs £40, and buying the same products one by one would cost over £156.

The Grooming Kit is part of GLOSSYBOX's Christmas Edits, alongside the Advent Calendar, Christmas Stocking and Christmas Cracker in the GLOSSYBOX Christmas Collection 2026.

Release Date & Prices

The Grooming Gift Guide is available now (October 2026). It's priced at £40, and GLOSSYBOX subscribers pay £35. You can also split the cost into 4 interest-free payments of £10. Stock usually ships within 24 hours, so it works for early planners and last-minute shoppers alike.

The Products Inside

Here's the full line-up, with GLOSSYBOX's own worth figures:

• NUXE Men [BOOST]³ Eau de Parfum (full size, worth over £47). The bottle is labelled "NUXE men Le Parfum." Its formula lists Atlas cedar, patchouli, bergamot and lemon oils, and it's labelled vegan.
• Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel (full size, worth £42). A cooling blend of rosemary, eucalyptus, ginger, black pepper and juniper.
• AKT London The Deodorant Balm 'After Thunder' (full size, worth £21). A balm made with arrowroot, shea butter and calendula.
• Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (deluxe size, worth over £14). It's formulated with piroctone olamine.
• Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper Bath & Shower Gel (deluxe size, worth £14). A body wash made with black pepper oil.
• grüum danne Clear Shave Gel (full size, worth £8). A clear gel with witch hazel and aloe.
• BARBER PRO Anti-Ageing Vitamin C Face Sheet Mask (full size, worth £5). Lemon, blueberry and sea buckthorn extracts give it a bright, refreshing feel.
• Better World Fragrance House Summer Mink EDP (extra treat, 1.5ml sample, worth over £4).

Most of the products are labelled vegan, and the box covers shower, shave, scalp, skin and scent.

What's New: Why It Works as a Gift

This box covers the full grooming routine, so he gets a complete routine in one bag. The two full-size fragrances and treatments (NUXE and Aromatherapy Associates) make up roughly half the stated value on their own. That's a big part of what makes £40 good value.

How to Use It: A Simple Routine

1. Shower: Start with the Molton Brown Black Pepper gel. Use the Philip Kingsley shampoo two to three times a week if his scalp is flaky.
2. Shave: The grüum gel is a clear shave gel, so he can see where he's shaving.
3. Treat: Use the BARBER PRO sheet mask before a night out. Apply the De-Stress Muscle Gel after the gym.
4. Finish: Use the AKT balm on clean, dry underarms, then a spritz of NUXE on the pulse points.

Fragrance-sensitive? Check the ingredient lists on the packaging before use. Several products contain naturally occurring allergens such as limonene and linalool.

The GLOSSYBOX Grooming Gift Guide is limited edition, so if this is on your shortlist, it's worth grabbing before the festive rush.

If you love the fresh eucalyptus-and-rose contrast of Abyssae Eau de Parfum, a deeper version has arrived. L'Artisan Parfumeur has unveiled Abyssae L'Extrait, a more intense take on bottle number 33 from the brand's La Botanique collection. Created by perfumer Daphné Bugey, the new extrait explores what the house calls "a living darkness": bright eucalyptus cutting through smoky incense, then settling into a rich, amber woody trail.

What's New: One Signature, Two Depths

L'Artisan Parfumeur describes the Abyssae line as "one signature, two depths." The original Eau de Parfum pairs eucalyptus with rose and cashmeran for an airy, enveloping feel. Abyssae L'Extrait pushes everything further, with:

• More vibrant incense: the brand lists incense (Boswellia sacra) as a key note
• A more sensual rose: reshaped to feel warmer and closer to the skin
• A dark, resinous woody trail: sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris anchor the composition

In Bugey's own words: "To reinvent Abyssae, I intensified its contrasts. I immersed myself in the vibrant freshness of eucalyptus resin and incense, sculpted a more sensual rose, and anchored it all in a resinous woody depth, where sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris resonate with intensity."

The result is a scent of contrasts: cool and bright at the start, then shadowy, smoky and textured.

The Bottle

The extrait keeps the La Botanique look, with a dark teal label marked "33 Abyssae L'Extrait" and a black round cap. It comes in an illustrated box decorated with seaweed and coral motifs, a nod to the fragrance's oceanic name. The brand also offers exclusive Abyssae L'Extrait gift sets. Pricing for these hasn't been published, so check the official site for details.

How to Wear Abyssae L'Extrait

• Start small: with an extrait, a couple of sprays on pulse points (wrists, neck, inner elbows) is a good starting point
• Layer the duo: already own the Eau de Parfum? Try it on fabric and the extrait on skin to play with the brand's "two depths" idea
• Pick your moments: the eucalyptus-and-incense opening suits crisp autumn days, while the ambery woody base feels made for evenings
• Test before you buy: smoky, resinous scents change a lot from skin to skin, so live with a sample for a full day if you can

Is It Worth the Price?

At £295 / $435 for 75 ml, Abyssae L'Extrait is a luxury purchase. It suits fans of incense fragrances, woody ambers and fresh-meets-dark compositions. If the original Abyssae felt too light for you, this is the version to try.

The countdown to Christmas just got a little more luxurious. The EVE LOM Twelve Day Advent Calendar 2026 has arrived in the UK, bringing twelve doors of the cult British brand's skincare (plus a sweet hair accessory surprise) to anyone who wants a slower, more indulgent run-up to the holidays. Here's everything we know so far, from the price to the full list of products inside.

The Design: A Snowy London Street

This year's box is a real keepsake. EVE LOM has wrapped the calendar in a pale blue-grey and white illustration of a London townhouse street, complete with snowy rooftops, wreaths on every front door, a Christmas tree topped with a gold star and a gold EVE LOM plaque. It's a softer, wintrier look than last year's navy and gold cityscape, and it will look lovely on a dressing table all December.

What's Inside the EVE LOM Advent Calendar 2026

Behind the twelve doors you'll find these products:

• Cleanser – 50ml
• Cleansing Oil – 50ml
• Firming Face Sheet Mask – 30ml
• Renewal Intensive Treatment – 15ml
• Kiss Mix – 7ml
• Radiance Antioxidant Eye Cream – 15ml
• Renewal Treatment Eye Oil – 10ml
• Restorative Skin Essence – 15ml
• Rescue Mask – 15ml
• Renewal Treatment Oil – 10ml
• Daily Rejuvenating Cream – 15ml
• EVE LOM Hair Clips x 2 – tortoiseshell-style clips

What's New for 2026

The 2026 edition is a fresh design with new contents. The 2025 calendar, which is still listed on EVE LOM's US site at $290.00, included the Gel Balm Cleanser 100ml and the Radiance Repair Retinol Serum 30ml. This year the line-up introduces the Firming Face Sheet Mask, Restorative Skin Essence, Renewal Treatment Eye Oil and the hair clips, which are a practical extra for keeping hair off your face while you cleanse.

How to Get the Most From Your Twelve Doors

John Lewis describes the calendar as a celebration of staying in, with each door offering a new ritual and skincare that feels slower and more restorative. To make the most of it:

• Clip back first. Use the tortoiseshell clips to keep hair away from your face before you start.
• Double cleanse in the evening. Melt away makeup with the Cleansing Oil, then follow with the signature Cleanser.
• Layer from thinnest to richest. Apply the Restorative Skin Essence first, then the Renewal Treatment Oil, and seal everything in with the Daily Rejuvenating Cream.
• Save the masks for a weekend. The Firming Face Sheet Mask and Rescue Mask are perfect for a cosy pre-party pamper night.
• Don't forget your eyes and lips. Pat on the eye cream or eye oil, and finish with Kiss Mix.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed (EVE LOM US still lists the 2025 calendar)
• UK: John Lewis (£235.00, online only, free standard UK delivery)

The total value of the contents, US availability and other UK retailers haven't been announced yet. With beauty advent calendars often selling out quickly, skincare lovers who have their eye on this one may want to secure it at John Lewis while it's in stock.

Dessert is officially on the menu. AORA Makeup, the Mexican-founded brand behind the viral ACARÍCIAME Solid Lip Serum, is launching the ACARÍCIAME Postres Collection. It's a limited-edition trio of flavored shades inspired by three beloved Mexican sweets: Cajeta, Churro and Horchata. You can meet Postres early on the Sephora app from 7 October 2026.

What's New: AORA's First Flavored Edition

Postres is the first flavored edition of ACARÍCIAME. AORA describes it as "the caress of a serum" combined with the flavors of three classic postres (desserts). The campaign imagery shows three silver-capped bullets in caramel-beige, brown and rosy-brown, set beside a plate dripping with cream and chocolate sauce.

The Shades (and the Sweets Behind Them)

• Cajeta (Nude Caramel): A sheer caramel nude with a creamy caramel flavor. Cajeta is a traditional Mexican caramel made from goat's milk. It's rich, silky and slow-cooked.
• Horchata (Sheer Cream): A sheer cream with a rice milk and cinnamon flavor. Horchata is a refreshing Mexican drink made with rice milk and cinnamon.
• Churro (Sheer Brown): A sheer brown with a buttery pastry and sugar flavor. A churro is fried dough rolled in sugar, and it's hard to stop at one.

AORA shows each shade on four different skin tones. All three give a glossy, sheer wash of color, so they should be easy to wear and flattering on many complexions.

The Serum Formula

If you already love ACARÍCIAME, the Postres shades keep its familiar skincare-first ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates
• Squalane locks in moisture
• Vitamin E softens
• Castor oil supports the lip barrier

The core ACARÍCIAME formula is known for a lightweight, non-sticky, high-shine finish. It feels like a lip treatment but looks like a lipstick. It also comes in AORA's 100% aluminum, plastic-free packaging, designed to be recycled with metals.

How to Wear Postres

• Solo on bare lips: Swipe on throughout the day for hydration and a gloss-like sheen.
• With a liner: Pair Churro or Cajeta with a brown or nude liner for a sculpted, '90s-inspired lip.
• As a prep step: Apply before the rest of your makeup so lips look plump and hydrated by the time you're done.
• Layered: Dab Horchata over a deeper shade to soften it into a creamier, milkier tone.

Price

The regular ACARÍCIAME Solid Lip Serum is $28 (US) on aoramakeup.com. Its permanent shades are Rosa.02, Vanta.02, Rosa.03, Vino.01, Rosa.04 and Dorado.02. Pricing for the Postres shades is not yet announced, so don't assume it matches the core line.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora app, with early access from 7 October 2026 (price not yet announced). Availability on aoramakeup.com is not yet confirmed.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

A wider release date and other retailers haven't been announced yet. Postres is a limited edition, so set a reminder for 7 October if Cajeta, Churro or Horchata is calling your name. We'll update this post as AORA shares more details.
