Pixi Beauty's 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar is a limited-edition holiday set of 12 skincare, makeup and tool items, including Glow Tonic. It costs $40 (US), £40 (UK) and CA$64 (Canada) on Pixi's official sites and went on sale on 1 October 2026. Founder and makeup artist Petra Strand curated the edit, which returns for Holiday 2026 after the 2025 calendar sold out.

Release Date

The 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar was released on 1 October 2026 as part of Pixi's Holiday 2026 offering. It follows the 2025 edition, which sold out.

Price

• US: $40
• UK: £40
• Canada: CA$64

In the US, the calendar costs $40. Buying the 10 items Pixi sells individually at the same size would cost $92+ at current pixibeauty.com prices:

• Liquid Fairy Lights: $15
• Hydrating Milky Mist (Petite Size): $8
• GradualGlow (Original Size): $18
• Rose Cream Cleanser (Petite Size): $6
• Glow Tonic Cleansing Cloths: $4
• +Hydra LipTreat: $10
• Sheer Cheek Gel: $15
• Brow Tamer: $10
• DetoxifEYE: $3
• Rose Ceramide LipPatch: $3

That total leaves out the 15 ml Glow Tonic and the Petite Blending Brush, because neither is sold separately in the US.

What's Inside

The calendar holds 12 items behind numbered doors. Pixi describes them as a mix of eye, lip, cheek, complexion and skincare products in full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats:

• 5 liquids and gels measured in ml: 15 + 30 + 50 + 15 + 4.5 ml = 114.5 ml
• 3 products measured in grams: 5 + 4.8 + 12.7 g = 22.5 g
• 10 cleansing cloths
• 2 pairs of hydrogel patches (1 eye, 1 lip)
• 1 makeup brush

The 12-door format matches other 12-day calendars this season, such as the EVE LOM Twelve Day Advent Calendar 2026 and the $69 Ulta Beauty 12 Days To Glass Skin Advent Calendar.

What Makes the 12 Days of Glow Discovery Different?

• It is a 12-day countdown rather than the more common 24-day format.
• It mixes full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats, from a 50 ml GradualGlow to single pairs of hydrogel patches.
• Founder Petra Strand curated it and introduces each product in Pixi's "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" social series.

Packaging and Key Ingredients

According to Pixi, the design was inspired by its boutiques in London and LA. The mint-green box is styled as a Pixi shop front, with pink butterfly wings, gold sparkle details, a mint satin ribbon and the words "12 Days of Glow Discovery". It opens like a book to show a pink "shop interior" with shelves labelled PIXI, TONIC, GLOW, MAKEUP and LIPS, plus numbered doors.

According to Pixi, Glow Tonic combines 5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with aloe vera and ginseng. Pixi says GradualGlow uses 2.5% DHA with coconut oil and hyaluronic acid, and DetoxifEYE contains caffeine and gold. Petra says she wanted to curate her favourites "to brighten, hydrate and bring a little radiance to the season". The set's skincare items sit alongside other launches on our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases page.

How to Use

Pixi suggests opening one product a day or using the items together to build a skincare and makeup routine, following each product's own directions. For pregnancy or breastfeeding, Pixi recommends consulting a physician about the ingredient lists, which it publishes on its product pages.

In the "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" series, Petra introduces each product, explains why she chose it and shares a makeup-artist tip.

If your skincare shelf is crowded but your routine still feels unfocused, LOOKFANTASTIC has a fix. The Dermatological Edit is a new Limited Edition beauty box of dermatologist-approved formulas, "hand-selected to simplify your routine, strengthen your skin, and focus on what delivers." It brings together seven products from Perricone MD, Eucerin, Kate Somerville, Augustinus Bader, Bioderma, AMELIORATE and Vichy, and it covers face and body from cleanser to SPF.

What's Inside: Products and Prices

The box costs £50 / €60. Buying the products one by one would cost over £195 / over €225, based on LOOKFANTASTIC's stated values:

• Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Photo-Brightening Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (59ml, full size), worth £64 / over €74. A brightening vitamin C day moisturiser with built-in SPF 30.
• Eucerin Sensitive Protect Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF 50+ (50ml, full size), worth £19 / over €22. An extra-light, high-protection sun lotion for sensitive skin.
• Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash (120ml, full size), worth £41 / over €47. A daily foaming face wash. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "EradiKate Daily Foaming Cleanser", but its own product photos show the ExfoliKate Cleanser tube.
• Augustinus Bader The Overnight Restorative Cream (7ml, deluxe), worth over £40 / over €47. An overnight face cream, here in a travel-friendly deluxe size. LOOKFANTASTIC's listing calls it "The Overnight Recovery Cream"; the tube in the photos reads "The Overnight Restorative Cream".
• Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil (100ml, deluxe), worth £9 / over €10. A replenishing shower oil for dry, easily irritated skin.
• AMELIORATE Transforming Body Exfoliant (300ml, full size), worth £18 / over €20. A body exfoliant for smoother skin.
• Vichy Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum (10ml, deluxe), worth over £4 / over €4. A lightweight hyaluronic acid booster for hydration.

How to Build Your Routine

Morning: Cleanse with the ExfoliKate Cleanser, apply the Minéral 89 booster, then the Perricone MD SPF 30 moisturiser. For high-UV days or time outdoors, add the Eucerin SPF 50+.

Evening: Cleanse, apply Minéral 89, then finish with the Augustinus Bader Overnight Restorative Cream. A little goes a long way, which helps the 7ml deluxe size last.

Body: Use the AMELIORATE exfoliant in your body routine to smooth rough skin, and the Bioderma Atoderm shower oil to cleanse without stripping.

Tip: Follow each product's own directions, and wear daily SPF when exfoliating.

Is It Worth It?

Four of the seven products are full size, including the Perricone MD moisturiser, which alone is worth more than the box. That makes The Dermatological Edit good value for anyone who wants to try premium dermatologist-approved skincare. It also works well as a gift for a friend who likes to keep their routine simple.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: LOOKFANTASTIC UK (£50)
• International: LOOKFANTASTIC Italy (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Germany (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC France (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Spain (€60), LOOKFANTASTIC Netherlands (€60)

The Allure Beauty Box October 2026 is a US monthly subscription box of multitasking skincare, makeup and hair care picks chosen by Allure editors. Subscribers pay $30 per box, and Allure says the contents are worth $125+ if bought separately. This month's theme is "overachievers", meaning products that do more than one job, from a lip-and-cheek colour to a hair mist with an odour-neutralising formula.

When Did the Allure Beauty Box October 2026 Launch?

Allure hasn't announced an exact ship date for the October 2026 box. Customisation opened on 1 September 2026, when members chose their K-beauty product. The box is sold as the October 2026 edition, and allurebeautybox.com currently lists it as the current box. Other new launches are collected in BeautyTalkClub's beauty news section.

Price

The monthly Subscribe & Save plan costs $30 per box, and Allure says you can cancel anytime. For a single box without a subscription, the Beauty Discovery Box costs $50. Allure values the products at $125+ if bought one by one, but it hasn't published individual prices. The site also offers gift subscriptions. According to Allure, members get exclusive member prices, access to a members-only store and early access to limited editions.

The October box is one of several beauty boxes released in October 2026, alongside the Next A Touch of Luxury Beauty Box October 2026 in the UK and the Rodial Autumn Mystery Box.

What's Inside

• 2 skincare products: an eye serum and a gel-cream
• 1 makeup duo: a mini lip liner and a mini lip gloss
• 1 foundation sample card (Recurring Member Bonus)
• 1 hair care product: a dry shampoo
• New subscribers also get 1 hair perfume in their first box

Allure hasn't published sizes for the individual products.

Makeup

• Charlotte Tilbury Glossy Fresh Pink lip duo pairs the Mini Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk with the Mini Collagen Lip Bath Lip Gloss in Refresh Rose, a clear gloss.
• Givenchy Beauty Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation Sampler is the Recurring Member Bonus. It is a sample card of a serum-foundation hybrid with micro hyaluronic acid, ceramides and yuzu extract. According to Allure, it gives buildable coverage with a radiant-blur finish.

Hair Care

• Color Wow Insta-WOW Advanced Dry Shampoo is an Allure Best of Beauty award winner with an apple and jasmine scent. According to Allure, its rice starch formula leaves no grit and no white cast.

New Member Gift

New subscribers receive the Kitsch Hair Perfume in Pistachio Latte ($20 value) in their first box. It works as a hair and body mist. Allure describes it as "a cozy, cafe-worthy pistachio latte scent kissed with coconut and warm coffee." According to Allure, its odour-neutralising formula refreshes second-day hair rather than masking odours.

Where to Buy

• US: Allure Beauty Box ($30 per box subscription or $50 one-time). Allure says quantities are limited and the month's box can sell out.
• UK: Not available (US-only box)
• Europe: Not available (US-only box)

What Makes the Allure Beauty Box October 2026 Different?

• Allure's editors built the box around "overachievers", meaning products that do more than one job.
• Members chose one of four Korean beauty products when customisation opened on 1 September 2026.
• New subscribers get a Kitsch hair perfume, while continuing members get a Givenchy Beauty foundation sampler as the Recurring Member Bonus.

How to Use

Allure suggests tapping a dime-size amount of the Kat Burki eye serum under each eye morning and night, then applying moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen. It suggests using the Earth Harbor cream before sunscreen in the morning or as the last step at night. For the lip duo, Allure suggests outlining the lips with Pillow Talk and layering one or two coats of gloss on top for a glassy finish. For the dry shampoo, Allure's directions are to shake the can, spray at and under the roots from about eight inches away, let it settle, then massage it through.

UK skincare expert Caroline Hirons launched The Collagen Support Kit on carolinehirons.com on 30 September 2026, priced at £99. The kit has since sold out. It brings together six skincare products, from a cleansing balm to a rich cream, which Caroline Hirons positions for the colder months. It's a one-off kit rather than a subscription. Here are the release date, the products and the price.

What's in The Collagen Support Kit

The kit costs £99. Caroline Hirons says buying the items one by one would cost £412, which works out to a 75% saving. Only some individual UK prices can be confirmed: the Olverum balm is £55, the Medik8 serum is £79 and the Votary cream is £85. The other products aren't priced individually, and the Jordan Samuel soap is exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Here are the products, with Caroline's own notes:

• Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm (100ml): Caroline says it "melts through makeup, SPF and the day" and leaves skin soft and nourished.
• Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream (15ml): Contains peptides, ceramides and omegas. Caroline says it hydrates and smooths without feeling heavy.
• Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Face Serum (30ml): Medik8's newest serum uses vegan PDRN technology. According to Caroline, it supports skin renewal, calms visible redness and improves skin resilience.
• Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum: A reformulated version of the ceramide capsules. Caroline says it helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Votary Ultimate Rich Cream (50ml): Caroline describes it as rich but never heavy and one of her favourites when the weather turns cold.
• Jordan Samuel Ferragosto Artisanal Soap: A soap that Caroline describes as beautifully fragranced, exclusive to Caroline Hirons.

Everything comes in The Collagen Support Kit Bag, a pink quilted bag measuring 33cm x 25cm x 12cm. The bag is also sold separately for £40.

What It Targets

According to the Caroline Hirons product page, the kit targets:

• Barrier support
• Dehydration
• Fine lines
• Redness
• Loss of firmness
• Overall skin resilience

The products centre on ceramides, peptides and rich textures.

How to Use It: Suggested Routine

Caroline suggests applying the products in this order:

1. Cleanse with the Olverum Alpine Revive Cleansing Balm.
2. Eye cream: Apply the Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream.
3. Serum: Apply the Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ serum.
4. Capsules: Follow with the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Gold Ceramide Capsules serum.
5. Moisturise with the Votary Ultimate Rich Cream to seal everything in.

Use the Jordan Samuel soap in the shower. In the morning, finish with SPF.

Availability

Caroline Hirons' website now states that The Collagen Support Kit has sold out. The site invites shoppers who missed it to sign up to hear first when the next kit drops. No restock has been announced.

Sofie Pavitt Face's Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo is a two-step contrast mask set pairing a self-heating enzyme mask with a hydrating gel mask. It costs $90 (US) and launched at Sephora online on 6 October 2026, with Sephora stores following on 9 October 2026. The brand, founded by New York City esthetician Sofie Pavitt, known as the "Acne Whisperer," based the set on her in-studio Contrast Therapy Facial and calls it "a spa day for your face."

Updated 13 October 2026: The duo is now also sold on the brand's own site, sofiepavittface.com, at $90.

Release Date

The Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo went on sale at Sephora US online on 6 October 2026. It reaches Sephora stores in the US on 9 October 2026. No UK or European release date has been announced.

Price

• US: $90 at Sephora
• UK: Not yet announced
• Other markets: US$90.00 via Big Apple Buddy, plus international shipping and a service fee

What's Inside

• 4 items in total: 2 masks and 2 tools
• Warm Up Enzyme Treatment Mask: 2 oz / 60 mL
• Cool Down Hydrating Exosome Mask: 2 oz / 60 mL
• Total mask volume: 2 × 60 mL = 120 mL (2 × 2 oz = 4 oz)
• Skincare spatula for application
• Tray to hold the kit

Products in the Set

Step 1: Warm Up Enzyme Treatment Mask

The first mask is self-heating. According to the brand, it exfoliates and visibly plumps. Pavitt says it warms on the skin and then tingles as the enzymes start working. Key ingredients:

• Papain (papaya enzyme) and bromelain: fruit enzymes that, according to Pavitt, gently dissolve dead skin cells
• Tranexamic acid: according to the brand, visibly corrects uneven skin tone
• Niacinamide: included for brightening, per the brand
• Squalane and panthenol: included to keep skin comfortable during exfoliation, per the brand

Step 2: Cool Down Hydrating Exosome Mask

The second mask has a cushiony gel texture, and the brand positions it as a hydrate-and-soothe step. Key ingredients:

• Centella complex: according to Pavitt, contains four active compounds that calm redness and irritation and support the skin barrier
• Polyglutamic acid: described by the brand as locking in hydration
• Ceramide NP, aloe and ectoin: included for a comfortable, supple feel, per the brand
• Caffeine: included as a refreshing finishing ingredient, per the brand

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($90), online from 6 October 2026 and in stores from 9 October 2026; Sofie Pavitt Face ($90)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Big Apple Buddy (US$90.00 plus shipping and service fee) ships the Sephora US product to over 75 countries. Availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock on sofiepavittface.com ($90).

What Makes the Temp Check Hot + Cold Mask Duo Different?

• It adapts Pavitt's in-studio Contrast Therapy Facial into a two-step "warm up / cool down" routine for home use.
• It pairs a self-heating enzyme mask (papain, bromelain) with a gel mask that has "exosome" in its name.
• It comes as a kit: two 60 mL masks plus a skincare spatula and a tray.

Other masks we've covered this season take different approaches. The Dr.Jart+ Cryo-V Jawline Lifting Mask is a single-use cooling hydrogel mask. The Dr.Jart+ 10 Mask Mega Haul Holiday Gift Set is another mask set launched at Sephora US in October 2026. For more launches, see all skincare releases.

Formula and Skin Types

Sephora lists both masks as vegan, fragrance free, non-comedogenic and Clean at Sephora. Clean at Sephora is Sephora's label for formulas made without certain ingredients, including parabens, sulfates, phthalates and mineral oils. The set is listed for normal, dry, combination and oily skin, and for dullness, uneven texture and uneven skin tone. The brand says it targets dry, dull and textured skin and leaves skin looking smoother, brighter and plumper.

What the Brand Says

Pavitt told Byrdie: "Heat preps the skin, encourages microcirculation and feels super sensorial. Cryo/cold keeps it plump, lifted and bright. I wanted to bring that experience home in a way that was simple and effective." She added: "I love contrast facials before a big event or just as a mid-week boost. The warm-to-cool application exfoliates, calms, and refreshes the skin all in one go. It's a mini studio treatment at home."

Many of the brand's products are designed with acne-prone skin in mind, but Pavitt says Temp Check was formulated for all skin types.

How to Use

According to the brand, use the spatula to apply a generous layer of the Warm Up Mask to clean, dry skin. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes, rinse with cool water and pat dry, then immediately apply the Cool Down Mask for 10–15 minutes and rinse thoroughly, 1–2 times per week. Pavitt recommends using it as a weekly treatment in place of other actives: skip other exfoliants that evening, rinse the spatula between masks, and if you have active, inflamed acne, use only the Cool Down Mask until skin is calmer.

numbuzin's Next-Gen Gold NAD+ is an upcoming skincare product that pairs NAD+ with 24K gold, teased on Instagram on 30 September 2026.

Status: Partially confirmed. numbuzin has only teased this product. Product names, packaging and release dates may change.

The Korean brand describes it as "The Origin of NAD+ meets 24K Gold." Price, release date and product type have not yet been announced.

When Did the numbuzin Next-Gen Gold NAD+ Launch?

numbuzin hasn't announced an official release date for Next-Gen Gold NAD+, and the product has not gone on sale yet. It was first teased in an Instagram post on 30 September 2026. As of 7 October 2026, no retailer has announced it, and it isn't listed on numbuzin's official US homepage. We'll update this post when the brand confirms a date.

Price

• US: Not yet announced
• UK: Not yet announced

numbuzin hasn't shared the size either, so per-market pricing can't be compared yet.

What the Teaser Shows

According to numbuzin, the product is "the culmination of our NAD+ research" and "our most luxurious drop yet." The brand says it is meant to give skin that looks energized, nourished & resilient. The image text reads "From the pioneers of NAD+ Skincare, numbuzin."

The visuals are close-up texture shots of an ivory, cream-coloured swatch flecked with visible gold flakes on a black background. The swatch looks cream-like, but numbuzin hasn't confirmed what kind of product it is.

The teaser does not show:

• Packaging
• The full product name
• The product format

numbuzin is inviting followers to guess the product in the comments.

Still not revealed:

• The full ingredient list
• Size
• Retailers

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed

For other new Korean launches already on sale, see our skincare releases page. Recent September 2026 examples include the Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream Mist and the FRUDIA Retinal B3 EXO RED Bubble Pack Booster.

What Makes the Next-Gen Gold NAD+ Different?

• It is the first numbuzin NAD+ product teased with 24K gold as a named ingredient.
• The teaser swatch is ivory with visible gold flakes, shown against a black background.
• According to numbuzin, it is "the culmination of our NAD+ research" and the brand's "most luxurious drop yet."

The No.9 NAD+ Background

numbuzin already sells NAD+ skincare through its No.9 range, which includes:

• No.9 NAD+ BIO Lifting-sil Essence
• No.9 NAD+ Retinal Volumetox Eye Cream (added April 2026)
• No.9 NAD+ BIO Super Defense Glow Sunscreen (added August 2026)

According to numbuzin, No.9 combines NAD+ with skincare partners such as peptides, collagen, panthenol and retinol. The brand's official US store currently also lists the No.9 NAD+ Essentials Travel Kit, the No.9 NAD+ Glow Boosting Set and a No.9 NAD+ Retinal Volumetox Eye Cream DUO SET.

The teaser doesn't say whether Next-Gen Gold NAD+ will join the No.9 range or stand on its own. The brand's "culmination of our NAD+ research" framing suggests it builds on No.9.

The Selfridges Dream Bundle is an exclusive beauty box of 18 products spanning skincare, make-up, haircare and fragrance from 18 different brands. It costs £120 in the UK, and Selfridges puts the total worth of its contents at £504.50. Also called the Selfridges Edit Dream Bundle, it comes in a pink gift box printed "The Beauty Kit of Your Dreams" and is currently listed only at Selfridges.

When Did the Selfridges Dream Bundle Launch?

Selfridges hasn't announced an official release date. Beauty Detective reported the bundle's contents on 29 September 2026. On 7 October 2026 it was listed as in stock on Selfridges' UK, US, Ireland and Australia storefronts.

• US: $145.00 (taxes and duties calculated at checkout)
• Ireland: €156.00 (including taxes and duties)
• Australia: A$240.00 (including taxes and duties)

The bundle costs £120. According to Selfridges, buying the 18 items one by one would cost £504.50, which is £384.50 more than the bundle price. Selfridges does not publish a price for each item, so there is no official per-product breakdown of that figure.

The box holds 18 products: 7 make-up products plus 1 brush, 5 skincare items, 3 fragrances and 2 hair and accessory pieces. Most are travel or mini sizes. The three fragrances total 48.5ml (9.5ml + 30ml + 9ml).

Selfridges currently lists the bundle as exclusive to its own stores and websites. It sits alongside other retailer-curated value boxes this season, such as the Next A Touch of Luxury Beauty Box October 2026, a six-product £30 box that Next values at £158.

What Makes the Selfridges Dream Bundle Different?

• It mixes four categories (make-up, skincare, haircare and fragrance), with each of the 18 products from a different brand.
• Selfridges states a worth of £504.50 against a £120 price. By comparison, the Rodial Autumn Mystery Box is a single-brand box that costs £70 against a stated £213 value.
• It is a multi-brand retailer edit, like the Cult Beauty Christmas Edits 2026, which also include Huda Beauty and Charlotte Tilbury products.

Packaging and Purchase Details

The products come in a pink gift box printed "The Beauty Kit of Your Dreams". According to Selfridges, the set is suitable for all skin types. Selfridges generally offers a 14-day returns policy with exceptions, and for hygiene reasons it says it can't exchange or refund this bundle unless it is faulty. UK buyers can use Selfridges' complimentary Click & Collect, ordering by 10pm for next-day collection. For more gift-set and box launches, see our beauty news section.
