When Did the Hourglass Holiday 2026 Gift Sets Launch?

Price

In the US, The Bestsellers Set costs $295, The Travel Brush Set $184 and the Vegan Leather Makeup Bag $98. Hourglass hasn't announced UK or European prices.

What's Inside The Bestsellers Set ($295)

Hourglass describes it as "a limited-edition set of full-size essentials for the ultimate holiday glow." It holds five items: four full-size products and a makeup bag. Hourglass doesn't list the size of each product on the set page.

• Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm in Slip: according to Hourglass, a 3-in-1 hybrid that hydrates like a balm, plumps for fuller-looking lips and gives the high-shine finish of a gloss.
• Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara in Ultra Black: the brand says its film-forming technology coats each lash in lightweight fibers for more definition, lift and length, with a fanned-out finish and smudge-proof wear.
• Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked in Hope: a limited-edition face palette with five new Ambient Lighting shades. Hourglass says they are meant to "create your perfect flush and lit-from-within glow." French jewelry designer Lauren Rubinski designed the palette, and its lid carries an exclusive heart and key charm.
• Ambient Lighting Edit Brush II (limited-edition, in Love): a double-ended brush. Hourglass says the slanted end is for blush and bronzer and the domed, tapered end is for highlighter.
• NEW Vegan Leather Makeup Bag: made from vegan Saffiano leather, with a LOVE makeup bag charm and one large inner pocket.

The Hope palette continues Hourglass's limited-edition Ambient Lighting Edit format. That format includes the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit: Blush & Glow Vol. II and Bronze & Highlight Palettes launched in April 2024. The Ambient Lighting line also includes the four-shade Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette Golden Rose Edit.

What's Inside The Travel Brush Set ($184)

The set holds six items: five brushes and a brush bag. These are travel sizes of Hourglass's complexion brushes, a double-ended eye brush and a new blush brush, all in a limited-edition gold finish with a custom-designed travel brush case. Brush lengths are not published.

• Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush (Travel Size): according to the brand, designed to mimic the control of the fingertips, with vegan fiber technology and custom bristles.
• Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush (Travel Size): the brand says its half-moon shape is for application to the contours of the face, especially under the eyes.
• Veil Powder Brush (Travel Size): according to Hourglass, a limited-edition travel-size brush for loose powder.
• NEW No. 15 Blush Brush (Travel Size): an angled stippling brush with custom bristles.
• Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush: combines elements of the Nº 3 and Nº 6 brushes, with a flat side for laying down eyeshadow and a fluffy side for diffusing it.
• NEW Travel Makeup Brush Bag: a limited-edition brush bag made from vegan Saffiano leather.

Both sets sit among this season's other makeup releases.

The Vegan Leather Makeup Bag ($98)

The bag from The Bestsellers Set is also sold separately for $98. It is made from vegan Saffiano leather, and according to Hourglass it maintains its structured shape over time. It measures 222.87 x 132.82mm and has one large inner pocket. Hourglass says the bag's LOVE charm "represents and evokes self-love, confidence, and the heart of strength."

Guerlain is launching its limited-edition Holiday 2026 Makeup Collection, designed with Swiss fashion designer Kévin Germanier. The release date is October 2026, with the collection launching first in Asia before arriving in other markets. The lineup includes holiday editions of Météorites, the Ombres G eyeshadow palette, Rouge G lipstick and cases, and a KissKiss Bee Glow Oil. Prices have not yet been announced.

The fragrance side of the same partnership is the Guerlain Imagine 2026 Bee Bottle by Kévin Germanier, a numbered 125 ml Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum dressed in a detachable beaded cuff.

About the Collection

The Holiday 2026 collection is inspired by "Fireworks Lighting Up the Parisian Night." The wider holiday theme is "Dressed in Wonder," built around Paris at night, with lights on the Eiffel Tower and fireworks reflecting off it. Kévin Germanier is known for using upcycled beads and fabrics to create vivid colours and sculptural forms. For this collection, the packaging is jewellery-inspired, with designs meant to evoke fireworks bursting across the night sky.

What's Inside the Fireworks Collection

Every piece in this launch is limited edition. The lineup includes:

• Guerlain Ombres G Eyeshadow Palette No. 300 — a 4-color palette with matte and shimmer blues, an iridescent pink and a champagne gold
• Guerlain Météorites — the pearl-based powder in a holiday edition with a new pink-toned colour harmony

• Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick No. 02 in Brown and Red shades

Key Details

Inside are six colours of pearls: deep rosy pink, soft pink, muted ivory pink, lavender, powder blue and champagne gold. When blended, they give a pale pink tone with subtle pink undertones. According to Guerlain, Météorites pearls blur imperfections, neutralise dullness and leave skin with a soft, luminous finish. The powder puff has a ribbon with a black satin Guerlain x Kévin Germanier logo.

Ombres G Palette: The palette combines matte and shimmer finishes. It includes matte and shimmer blues, an iridescent pink and a delicate champagne gold.

Rouge G: Rouge G lipstick is sold as a bullet and a case chosen separately. This season adds Collectors Edition holiday cases. Shade No. 02 is listed in Brown and Red variants.

What Makes the Bobbi Brown x The Met Holiday 2026 Collection Different?

• The holiday palette is built around neutrals, metallics and deep accents. The original collection's palette is lilac and purple.
• The packaging uses details from four artworks in The Met's collection, by Cross, Klimt, Redon and Monet. This gives each product its own museum-worthy case.

Formula and Packaging

• Brightening Blush: According to Bobbi Brown, the shimmering shades brighten skin and the pearlescent powders add semi-transparent luminosity. Durbin Rock notes that the shades can also be used on the eyes. The compact features Gustav Klimt's Mäda Primavesi (1912–1913).
• Luxe Shimmer Eyeshadow, Rose Illusion: Bobbi Brown says it can be applied dry, or with a damp brush for a liquid-metal look. The case carries the same Cross Landscape with Stars detail as the palette.
• Luxe Lipstick: According to Bobbi Brown, the satin formula hydrates for 10 hours, resists fading, feathering and smudging, and helps reduce the look of lip lines. Panels from Odilon Redon's Pandora (1914) appear on the flat sides of the case.
• Extra Lip Tinted Balm: The brand says the balm contains 84% skin-caring ingredients and that its colour adjusts to the lips' pH. It comes in gold chrome cases with Claude Monet's Bouquet of Sunflowers (1881).

Each has four high-impact eyeshadows plus cheek shades for a complete alpine-inspired look (0.19 oz / 5.5 g).

• New York (matte light mahogany)
• Parallax (metallic gunmetal blue)

NARS claims 16 hours of fade-proof wear, based on a clinical study of 33 subjects.

Arctic pH-Adjusting Lip Sheen ($40)

The Arctic pH-Adjusting Lip Sheen comes in Sheer Bliss. According to NARS, the translucent icy blue bullet adapts to the skin's natural pH to deliver a subtle blush shade shift. The stick is sculpted with ski track-inspired lines and topped with a pearlescent overspray.

Dior's Le 30 Montaigne Beauty Advent Calendar for holiday 2026 is on sale in the UK priced at £604, according to a Beauty Detective listing posted on 25 September 2026. According to Dior, the star-shaped calendar recreates the facade of the house's 30 Avenue Montaigne boutique, with a scene "sculpted in gingerbread" at its center and a couture gown detailed with floral motifs. It holds 24 Dior creations spanning fragrance, makeup, skincare and a scented candle.

Dior's same gingerbread holiday theme also shapes the Dior J'adore Music Box, a limited-edition music box holding a 50 ml J'adore L'Or.

The Design

Dior describes the calendar's centerpiece as a scene "seemingly sculpted in gingerbread," dressed with a couture gown adorned in floral motifs. This is a different visual direction from last year's edition. Dior hasn't published a designer credit or a name for this year's concept.

• The star-shaped silhouette.
• The gingerbread-and-florals centerpiece.
• 24 items covering fragrance, makeup, skincare and a candle.
• The opened dimensions (525 × 500 × 116 mm).

Price and availability: Beauty Detective reported on 25 September 2026 that the calendar is now available, priced at £604. The exact on-sale date and US pricing have not been announced.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Last year's Le 30 Montaigne calendar (holiday 2025) took a different approach, according to Premium Beauty News:

• It was a Pietro Ruffo-designed "Circus of Dreams" scene with constellation and gold-star detailing.
• It was produced with PM Studio.
• The box measured 41.5 × 33.8 × 13.5 cm.

The 2026 gingerbread-and-couture theme is a new design rather than a variation on that one. Dior is reusing the "Le 30 Montaigne" name for a second year with a different design each time.

Price and Value

The 2026 calendar is listed at £604 in the UK, according to Beauty Detective. Dior has not published a stated "value if bought separately" for the contents, and US pricing has not been announced.

Formula and Packaging

According to NARS, the highlighters are designed to illuminate the cheeks while the blushes add color, dimension and luminosity. The shades can be layered, built and blended into a custom color. The brand says the blush lasts up to 16 hours and has a comfortable, weightless feel.

NARS publishes a separate ingredient list for each of the six shades. One of the six lists includes carmine (CI 75470).

The Rest of the NARS Après Ski Holiday 2026 Collection

• 2 Mini Insatiable Liquid Blush Duos

How to Use

NARS directs applying Windchill or Off-Piste to the tops of the cheekbones, beneath the browbone and down the tip of the nose, or over any shade for a radiant finish. Flurry or Ski Bunny go on the apples of the cheeks with the #15 Precision Powder Brush. Mad Love or First Tracks go on the cheekbones, blended upward toward the temples to add dimension.
