The Saltair Santal Bloom Shower Rituals Holiday Set is a gift kit with a mini Serum Body Wash, a mini Dry Shampoo and a wide-toothed Hair Comb. It costs $20 on saltair.com and has been on sale there since at least 2 October 2026. Part of Saltair's Holiday 2026 products, the kit is scented in Santal Bloom. Saltair's announcement calls it a Target exclusive, and it is also listed on saltair.com.

Updated 27 October 2026: in stock on saltair.com ($20). Target lists it but showed it out of stock at the store location checked (Charleston, SC). Because it's a holiday kit, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Saltair Santal Bloom Shower Rituals Set Launch?

Saltair hasn't announced an official release date. The product page on saltair.com was published on 2 October 2026, the earliest on-sale date we could confirm. Saltair's Instagram announcement presents it as a Target exclusive. Target lists it as "Saltair Shower Rituals Kit," but the date that listing went live is unknown.

Price

• US: $20 at saltair.com. Target's price was not shown when checked.
• UK / Europe: Not yet announced.

The box is printed "$20" and "$30 VALUE." The set costs $20, and the box gives the value of the three items as $30. The brand doesn't give individual prices for the minis.

What's Inside

Saltair lists these three items, with sizes as printed on the box:

• Santal Bloom Skin Rejuvenating Serum Body Wash (mini): 3.0 fl oz / 88 ml
• Santal Bloom Dry Shampoo (mini): net wt. 1.5 oz / 45 g
• Saltair Hair Comb: wide-toothed, iridescent, for detangling (no size given)

The kit belongs to Saltair's Holiday 2026 "Holiday Kit" drop on saltair.com. Two sibling sets were published the same day:

• The Coast is Calling Duo Holiday Kit ($30) has a full-size Coral Coast Nourishing Body Oil and Fine Fragrance Body Mist.
• The Salt Water Vanilla Discovery Holiday Travel Ready Set ($25) has a mini Serum Body Wash, Nourishing Body Oil and Fine Fragrance Body Mist.

Don't confuse this kit with the $50 Santal Bloom Body Rituals Set or the $65 Santal Bloom Vault Set on saltair.com, which are not holiday kits.

Where to Buy

• US: Saltair ($20); Target (price not shown when checked)
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Saltair has no UK storefront listing for this set.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed. Saltair's site has no regional listing for this set.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 27 October 2026: in stock at saltair.com ($20). Listed at Target but out of stock for the store location checked (Charleston, SC), with no price shown.

Target has also carried exclusive body care from other brands, such as the Tree Hut Angel Cake Target exclusive. For another body care holiday release this season, see the Tree Hut Holiday body care collection.

What Makes the Saltair Santal Bloom Shower Rituals Set Different?

• It combines hair and body care: a body wash, a dry shampoo and a comb, all in the Santal Bloom scent.
• Every item is travel sized, and the box carries a "TSA friendly · travel sized" badge.
• The two sibling Holiday Kits are built around body oil and body mist. This is the only one in that drop with a dry shampoo and comb.

Formula and Packaging

• Serum Body Wash: According to Saltair, monoi oil hydrates and soothes dry skin, cupuaçu butter boosts hydration and locks in moisture, and kukui oil supplies antioxidants. The brand says it forms a rich lather.
• Dry Shampoo: Saltair says its shea butter-coated rice starch absorbs excess oil without drying hair, while a bamboo and lotus flower extract blend purifies hair and adds volume. It comes as a spray.
• Hair Comb: an iridescent, wide-toothed comb for detangling and styling.

Saltair describes Santal Bloom as "warm and golden, like sunkissed skin." The same scent appears across the brand's other body care; we previously covered its sun care side with the Saltair Sunscreen Body Oil SPF 50.

For the dry shampoo, Saltair says to shake it, spray onto the roots from 6 to 10 inches away, then massage and brush through. For other formats, compare it with the Redken Acidic Cleansing Mist dry shampoo, or browse more beauty news.

It costs $32 in the US and £30 in the UK, and it has been listed on maccosmetics.com since 1 October 2026 as part of the MAC Holiday 2026 Collection. The set is sold through MAC's own sites and Ulta Beauty, and it comes in a black-and-silver holiday case.

The same season also brings the MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons Advent Calendar 2026, the brand's holiday countdown calendar.

Updated 27 October 2026: in stock at maccosmetics.com (US), maccosmetics.co.uk (UK) and Ulta Beauty (US).

Release Date

MAC didn't announce a separate launch date for this set. It is part of the Holiday 2026 collection, which launched on maccosmetics.com on 1 October 2026, and the trio has been listed on the US site since that day. It appeared on maccosmetics.co.uk on 15 October 2026. It was in stock at Ulta Beauty (US) on 27 October 2026. MAC UK describes the set as "Christmas-exclusive."

Price

• US: $32 at maccosmetics.com and at Ulta Beauty
• UK: £30 at maccosmetics.co.uk

The trio costs $32, and MAC and Ulta Beauty list it as a $48 value. For comparison, a full-size M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick costs $25 in the US.

What's Inside

Three mini M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipsticks, all in a satin finish:

• Modesty
• Dubonnet
• Maraschino, Much?

Satin Soirée Shades and Swatches

MAC describes the three shades as follows:

• Modesty: muted neutral pink
• Dubonnet: midtone wine
• Maraschino, Much?: vibrant blue red

MAC's images show the following:

• a packshot of the black case with a silver bow, holding three minis in red-and-pink holiday tubes
• product smooshes of all three shades
• arm swatches on three skin tones
• lip swatches of each shade on several models

Where to Buy

• US: maccosmetics.com ($32); Ulta Beauty ($32)
• UK: maccosmetics.co.uk (£30)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed. The trio was not found on MAC Germany or MAC Poland.

What Makes the Satin Soirée Mini Lip Trio Different?

• Finish: it is built entirely around the satin M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin formula. The other Holiday 2026 mini set, the Teddy Party Mini Lip Trio ($32 / €32), uses mini Silky Matte Lipsticks in Warm Teddy, Velvet Teddy and Cool Teddy, so the two are easy to confuse.
• Shade range: the three shades run from a neutral pink to a wine to a blue red.
• Packaging: the minis come in a glittering black-and-silver holiday case with a silver bow, which MAC presents as ready to gift.

Formula and Packaging

• M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick (mini):

- According to MAC, the formula gives full-coverage, pigment-rich colour and eight hours of comfort and hydration.

- MAC says it hydrates with pomegranate flower extract and conditions with camellia seed and rosehip oils.

- MAC also says it makes lips look visibly fuller and reduces the look of fine, dry lines.

- It has MAC's signature vanilla scent, and the brand says it can be used on lips and cheeks.

- MAC states the lipstick case features PCR (post-consumer recycled) material.

For more satin and frost formulas, see our coverage of MAC lipstick launches, including the MAC Frost Lipstick 2026. You can also browse all MAC Cosmetics news.

How to Use

MAC suggests prepping with Prep + Prime Lip, then applying the lipstick directly to lips. For a blurred effect, MAC suggests applying it to the centre of the lips and blending out with the 318S Brush. MAC also suggests dabbing it on cheeks for a monochromatic look.

The Diptyque Holiday 2026 Eau de Parfum Editions are limited-edition 75ml bottles of Do Son, Eau Rose and Orphéon in gold-adorned holiday packaging. Each perfume costs €180 on Diptyque's EU online store and £170 at Liberty London (Do Son and Eau Rose). All three appeared online on 20 October 2026. They are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

Updated 22 October 2026: All three are in stock at Diptyque's EU online store, and Do Son and Eau Rose are in stock at Liberty London. None are listed on Diptyque's US store yet. Because they are limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The editions share the "enchanted forest" theme of the Diptyque Advent Calendar 2026, the brand's 25-treasure holiday countdown.

When Did the Diptyque Holiday 2026 Eau de Parfum Editions Launch?

Diptyque hasn't announced an official release date for these editions. The sightings so far are:

• 20 October 2026: all three bottles first appeared on Diptyque's EU online store.
• 21 October 2026: ScentAdvice reported on Instagram that they were "available now."
• 22 October 2026: Do Son and Eau Rose were in stock at Liberty London.

Diptyque Holiday 2026 Perfume Price

• Europe: €180 each on Diptyque's EU store (Belgium and Germany pages). This is the same price as the standard 75ml Eau de Parfums.
• UK: £170 each for Do Son and Eau Rose at Liberty London. The price for Orphéon is not yet confirmed.
• US: Not yet announced.

These bottles are not to be confused with Diptyque's Eau de Parfum Holiday Discovery Set, a separate gift set of 5 x 7.5ml bottles priced at £139 at Liberty London.

Diptyque Holiday 2026 Eau de Parfum Editions Fragrance Notes

Diptyque hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for these editions. It highlights these key notes:

• Do Son: tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, amberwood
• Eau Rose: rose
• Orphéon: juniper, polished wood, powdery iris

What Does Diptyque Do Son, Eau Rose & Orphéon Smell Like?

Do Son is built around white flowers: tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine over amberwood. Diptyque calls it "the scent of tuberose on a sea breeze," born of a memory of co-founder Yves Coueslant, who spent his summers in Vietnam.

Eau Rose centres on rose. Diptyque says "exuberant rose reveals itself for the holidays."

Orphéon pairs juniper with wood and powdery iris. Diptyque describes it as "the spirit of a Parisian evening," inspired by a midcentury Paris jazz club.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed (not listed on Diptyque's US store).
• UK: Liberty London sells Do Son (£170) and Eau Rose (£170).
• Europe: Diptyque's EU store sells Do Son, Eau Rose and Orphéon (€180 each).
• Other markets: Availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 22 October 2026: All three are in stock at Diptyque's EU store. Do Son and Eau Rose are in stock at Liberty London, which does not list Orphéon. None are listed on us.diptyqueparis.com.

What Makes the Diptyque Holiday 2026 Eau de Parfum Editions Different?

• Same scents, new packaging: Diptyque's listings show only the bottle and box changing, and the EU price matches the standard 75ml Eau de Parfum.
• Illustrated labels: Black oval labels carry gold artwork (a house among bamboo for Do Son, roses for Eau Rose, art-deco motifs for Orphéon). Illustrated back labels show through the juice.
• Repeat selection: According to ScentAdvice, Diptyque has again chosen these three scents for its annual Holiday Edition bottles. The 2026 versions follow the "enchanted forest" theme illustrated by artist Jean-Simon Roch.

Both versions contain the same perfume at the same EU price. Only the presentation changes.

Formula and Packaging

• Do Son: The Eau de Parfum centres on tuberose. Diptyque says it is made in France and refillable at participating Diptyque stores.
• Eau Rose: The Eau de Parfum centres on rose. It comes with a lacquered black wooden cap with golden details.
• Orphéon: The Eau de Parfum combines juniper and iris. Diptyque describes the bottle as dressed in a "gold-adorned label."

• Le Rouge Hydra Balm: The formula contains hyaluronic acid, peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12) and ceramides (ceramide NG). The brand says it hydrates and supports the lip barrier for a smoother, plumper look.

The set is named after Japan's first blossoms of the year. Rephr describes it as "a celebration of the first flowers of winter and spring in Japan."

• Ume (black): Named after the plum blossom, the first flower to bloom near the end of winter. Artisans call it "baby Yosegi", and it has a triangle ferrule reminiscent of Rephr's 2025 Yosegi brush. The official images show a gold circle and blossoms on the handle.
• Sakura (white): Named after the cherry blossom, which signals the arrival of spring. Artisans call it "baby Koyo", and it has a sloped profile similar to Rephr's 2024 Koyo brush. The images show a painted blossom branch on the handle.

• Each handle has maki-e decoration applied by artisans.
• The gift box converts into a brush holder.

Bristles and Packaging

• Ume brush: It uses hybrid natural/synthetic bristles for use with all formulas. It has a triangle ferrule and a black maki-e handle.
• Sakura brush: It uses the same hybrid natural/synthetic bristles for all formulas. It has a sloped profile and a white maki-e handle.
• Packaging: The official studio image shows a pink cherry-blossom-print fabric roll pouch with a "rephr" label. It also shows a two-part light wooden box printed with a plum-blossom branch. A second image shows the brushes on dark blue fabric framed by pink and red paper blossoms, with "rephr" on both handles.

When we checked on 20 October 2026 they were on sale at Ulta, Amazon, Cult Beauty and Space NK, and Sephora Canada and Sephora Australia listed several kits. The brand hasn't published a separate launch-date statement. The announcement image is a campaign shot of three boxes wrapped in yellow, pink and teal BYOMA paper, not the kits themselves.
