When Did the Mini Brands Ulta Beauty Capsule Series 2 Launch?

Mini Brands hasn't announced an official release date for the Mini Brands Ulta Beauty Capsule Series 2. The capsule was listed and in stock at Ulta Beauty US by 8 October 2026. On the same day, an "available now at Ulta" post about it circulated on Instagram.

• 1 collector's guide for tracking the set and the rare, luxury, iconic and legendary minis

Ulta describes the full series as 75 minis to collect, spanning makeup, skincare, haircare and beauty accessories at several rarity levels. Ulta hasn't published sizes or odds for individual minis.

What Makes the Mini Brands Ulta Beauty Capsule Series 2 Different?

• Multi-brand mix: the 75 minis cover makeup, skincare, haircare and beauty accessories from brands Ulta stocks.
• Tiered rarity: the collector's guide sorts minis into rare, luxury, iconic and legendary levels.

Format and Packaging

• Minis: according to Ulta, the set includes real liquid, scented and working minis made to look like the full-size products.
• Capsule: each capsule is a blind pack, so buyers don't know which five minis they'll get until they open it.
• Audience and safety: Ulta aims the capsule at tween, teen and adult beauty fans who collect and display. The listing carries a choking-hazard warning for small parts and says it is not for children under 3.

Skins says the contents are worth €362 if bought separately.

Updated 8 October 2026: in stock at skins.nl (€90).

When Did the Skins The Holiday Box Launch?

Skins hasn't announced an official release date. Customer reviews on the skins.nl product page start on 6 October 2026, so the box was on sale at skins.nl by then. Skins announced it as "now available" on Instagram on 8 October 2026.

Price

Skins The Holiday Box costs €90 at skins.nl. According to Skins, the four full-size products have a combined value of €177, and including the luxury miniatures the total product value is €362. Skins defines "full size" as a size also sold as a standalone product, and bases miniature values on the price per millilitre of the smallest retail size. Skins hasn't listed values for the individual miniatures.

Skins notes that buying a Skins Box does not qualify for its exclusive gifts with purchase.

What Makes the Skins The Holiday Box Different?

• Gift box, not a calendar: It has no doors or days. That separates it from retailer advent calendars such as the Space NK 12 Days of Luxury Advent Calendar 2026 and the Harvey Nichols Beauty Advent Calendar 2026.
• Four categories in one box: Skins combines perfume, skincare, make-up and home products, and includes four fragrance miniatures alongside a full-size 50 ml eau de parfum.
• One variable item: The ZENOLOGY full size is either the Skins x ZENOLOGY or the Libri Trigger Spray, depending on the box.

Key Details

• Fragrance concentrations: Four miniatures are eaux de parfum (EX NIHILO, J-Scent, Simone Andreoli) or an extrait (Maison Crivelli). The full size is L'Atelier Parfum's Vanilla Blush Eau de Parfum.
• Skincare actives in the product names: Sunday Riley's gel cream is a Vitamin C brightening formula, and Verso's day cream contains retinol (Retinol 8).
• Body care: The body products are a scrub (Leif), a body butter (Susanne Kaufmann) and a body lotion (L:a Bruket).

Skins describes the box as "a selection of new discoveries and much-loved favourites, to give as gifts or to enjoy yourself over the festive season." More seasonal sets are in our gift sets coverage.

Next has released its A Touch of Luxury Beauty Box for October 2026, priced at £30 for six products that Next values at £158 if bought separately. The box was reported on sale at Next UK on 6 October 2026. It covers body care, hair care and fragrance, with no makeup included.

What's in the Box

The October 2026 box contains six products from six brands:

• Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Body Oil, 100ml (full size)
• Olaplex No.3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment, 100ml
• Floral Street Ylang Ylang Espresso Eau de Parfum, 10ml (travel size)
• Neal's Yard Remedies Garden Mint & Bergamot Hand Cream, 50ml (full size)
• ESPA Fitness Shower Gel, 30ml
• Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangler Mini in Fresh Purple (mini)

The box costs £30. Next states that buying the six items one by one would cost £158. Individual retail prices for each item have not been confirmed, so the breakdown of that figure is not available.

Key Details

The selection leans towards body care and bathing. The Aromatherapy Associates body oil and the Neal's Yard Remedies hand cream are both full-size products. The ESPA shower gel and the Floral Street fragrance come in smaller formats. Hair care is covered by two products: the Olaplex No.3 Plus treatment and a mini Tangle Teezer detangling brush.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

This is the fifth A Touch of Luxury box from Next. Earlier editions launched in July 2023, September 2024, September 2025 and April 2026. The October 2026 edition follows the April box by about six months. Like earlier editions, it combines full-size products with travel sizes from premium brands.

How to Buy

The box is sold through Next's UK website under item number 877689. Next has not confirmed whether the box can be shipped outside the UK.

Status: Unconfirmed — leaked images. Space NK has not officially announced this calendar. Product names, contents, packaging, pricing and release dates may change.

A beauty advent-calendar spoiler account posted an image on 6 October 2026 of what it calls the Space NK 12 Days of Luxury Advent Calendar 2026. The image shows a drawer-style box surrounded by products from Aesop, La Mer, La Prairie, Sisley, Augustinus Bader and other brands. The account describes the calendar as "available now." When BeautyTalkClub checked Space NK's UK and US websites on 6 October 2026, the calendar was not listed, so we cannot confirm that it is on sale.

What's New

The leaked image shows a box with numbered drawers. Drawers 8, 9, 7 and 2 are visible. The illustration is in deep blue and berry red and features stars, baubles, swallows, pink clouds, a sledge, a polar bear and a reindeer. This artwork matches the box of Space NK's main 2026 Beauty Advent Calendar. The shape is different, though. The main calendar has double doors, while this one has drawers, which suggests a separate, smaller 12-day calendar in the same 2026 design.

Products Pictured

These brand names are legible in the leaked image. Sizes are not visible.

• Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser
• Environ Youth EssentiA eye gel
• Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo and Conditioner
• 111SKIN serum
• Shiseido Benefiance cream
• YSL liquid product in a tall bottle
• La Mer oil or serum in a dropper bottle
• Lisa Eldridge Kitten Lash mascara
• Giorgio Armani liquid eye or lip product
• Eve Lom Cleanser with muslin cloth, plus a zip travel pouch
• L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
• Tatcha The Essence
• Sisley Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream
• Eighth Day Resurfacing Tonic Pads
• La Prairie Foam Cleanser
• Augustinus Bader The Eye Patches
• Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist
• Slip pink silk sleep mask

The image also shows several items whose brands are not legible: a fragrance bottle with a gold ball stopper, a copper-coloured mascara, a pink two-pan blush compact and a silver lipstick.

The image shows more than 12 items, so some drawers may hold more than one product. This has not been confirmed. The image may also include products that will not appear in the final calendar.

Key Details: The Main Space NK 2026 Calendar

Space NK's website currently lists only its main calendar, the Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar 2026. It costs £275 and contains 35 products, 26 of them full size. Space NK says the contents are "worth over £1,200" and that none of the products repeat from its 2025 calendar. Brands in that calendar include Augustinus Bader, Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass, Medik8 and Glossier.

How to Track the Launch

• Check Space NK's advent calendar pages, which is where an official listing would appear.
• Once a listing is live, compare the confirmed contents and sizes against the leaked image.
• Read the official ingredient lists, especially for actives such as the Eighth Day resurfacing pads, before using them in your routine.

Where to Buy

Status: Unconfirmed (first-look image only). StyleKorean has not officially announced this advent calendar. The name, packaging, contents, price and release date may change before launch.

A first-look image of the StyleKorean Advent Calendar 2026 appeared on 6 October 2026 on an Instagram account that posts beauty advent calendar spoilers. The box is titled "Glowmas Post Office". StyleKorean is a Korean online K-beauty retailer that ships internationally. The image shows only the packaging. No contents or pricing have been revealed.

What's New: The Glowmas Post Office Design

The image shows a tall rectangular box with StyleKorean branding and the title Glowmas Post Office. The box is illustrated as a festive red post office:

• Pigeonholes on both sides, stacked with envelopes, perfume-style bottles, jars and small skincare containers
• A central arched window with a wreath, and a pink cartoon character in a Santa hat looking in
• A red post box with a letter slot on the left
• A nutcracker figure and a gingerbread man in a Santa hat on the counter
• A green banker's lamp and wrapped gift boxes with gold ribbon
• Small cosmetics drawn around the counter and floor, including a compact, a lipstick, a tube and bottles

The bottles, jars and makeup in the illustration are decoration. They do not confirm what is inside the calendar. StyleKorean has not named any products or brands for the 2026 edition.

Key Details Still to Come

The release date, price, door count, contents and sales channels have not been announced. As of 6 October 2026, the calendar was not listed on stylekorean.com. The retailer's own site is the most likely place for the official listing and full contents reveal.

Not to Be Confused With: Boots x StyleKorean

The Glowmas Post Office calendar is a different product from the Boots x StyleKorean "K-Beauty Express to Seoul" advent calendar sold at Boots in the UK. That calendar has a pink gingerbread-train design. When contents and prices are announced, check which calendar a listing refers to.

How to Track the Release

• Check stylekorean.com for a product listing, contents reveal and release date.
• Follow StyleKorean's social channels for an official announcement, which would confirm or update the first-look packaging.
• Wait for the official contents list before comparing it with other K-beauty advent calendars. The products inside have not been disclosed.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed. StyleKorean's own site is the place to watch for the release.
