What's New

The main new product is the Lacura 'Perfect Peach' Plumping Lip Gloss (5.1ml), which is launching only in this calendar.

The minis are on sale now online and, according to the brand's Instagram, arrive in Target stores' travel section from 25 October 2026.

Rodial launched its limited-edition Autumn Mystery Box on 5 October 2026. The six-product set costs £70 in the UK, against a value Rodial puts at £213 if the items were bought separately. The box is sold only through Rodial's own websites, and in the US it is called the Fall Mystery Box.

Key Details

The Rodial Autumn Mystery Box mixes skincare and colour products. Rodial has named two of the six products. The other four are described only as "Rodial favourites" and have not been revealed. The brand says stock is limited: "Once it's gone, it's gone."

Rodial lists these prices for the box in each market:

• UK: £70 (stated value £213)
• US: $90 (stated value $274)
• EU: €80 (stated value €250)

The box costs the price shown above. Rodial says buying the six items one by one would cost the stated value. On Rodial's UK store, the two revealed products sell individually for £59 (Bee Venom Moisturiser Mini) and £32 (Lip Oil With Collagen). Rodial has not published individual prices for the four surprise items.

What's in the Box

• Bee Venom Moisturiser Mini (15ml): According to Rodial, this rich moisturiser helps hydrate skin and soften the look of fine lines, leaving the complexion smoother and plumper. The brand says the formula combines bee venom with plant stem cells and biomimetic growth factors. The ingredient list also includes squalane, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate and a vitamin C derivative (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate).
• Lip Oil With Collagen in Grape (4ml): Rodial says this lip oil combines collagen amino acids with nourishing botanical oils to make lips feel soft and hydrated. It adds a glossy wash of colour.
• Four surprise Rodial products: These have not yet been announced.

How to Use

• Bee Venom Moisturiser Mini: Rodial recommends applying it after serum, morning and evening, on the face, neck and décolleté. Follow with SPF during the day.
• Lip Oil With Collagen in Grape: Apply it with the applicator to clean, dry lips. It can be worn alone or over lipstick and reapplied as needed.
• Surprise products: Use each one according to its own directions.

Rodial advises against using Bee Venom products if you are allergic to bee stings. The brand also recommends a patch test before use and says to stop using the product if irritation occurs.

Where to Buy

• US: Rodial US ($90)
• UK: Rodial UK (£70)

The products in the collection are:

• Tinted Jelly Lip Oil – Pink Afterglow ($10): A sheer pink tint with a shimmery, high-shine finish and a slim doe-foot applicator. The red Snoopy cap has a beaded chain and a green bow charm, so it can hang from a bag. The box says it is made in Korea.

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)
• UK: Dyson UK: Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy (£479.99), Airwrap Co-anda2x Straight+Wavy (£579.99), Supersonic Nural Straight+Wavy (£349.99), Airstrait (£349.99)
