Beauty Worth Bringing Home: 2026 Advent Calendar Wishlist
13
items The beauty advent calendars currently on my wishlist this year. I’m comparing what’s inside, what I’d actually use and whether the price feels worth it. Byredo is the one I keep coming back to, but £650 is a serious splurge!
£275 for 35 products, including 26 full-size, with a value of over £1,200. It has names like Augustinus Bader, Hourglass, REFY and Charlotte Tilbury. This one looks like a strong mix, but I’d still want to check how many products would suit me before...
Buy The Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 | 15% Off First Order
£285 for 29 products, including 21 full-size, with brands like Sunday Riley, Trinny London, ILIA and Violette_FR. The Liberty print bag is lovely, and the brand mix caught my eye. I’m still weighing whether I’d use enough of it to justify the price b...
Liberty London Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
One of the advent calendars I am seriously tempted by this year. There are always a few things in these that I know I would never use, but this one has an unusually high number of products I already like or would genuinely want to try. NUXE, Medik8, ...
John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar
The ultimate splurge on my list. It has 25 surprises across fragrance, makeup, body care, home and accessories, including Bal d’Afrique (my current obsession!!), Blanche and Mojave Ghost. I’m especially curious about the Bal d’Afrique products, but a...
Byredo Advent Calendar
31 full-size products in 25 pouches, with makeup, skincare and new launches. It’s £265, with a stated product value of £768. I like the idea of getting a proper mix from the brand, the products look amazing and the colours all are ones that I would w... - maybe that is a good thing for me because this is also at the top of my list!
CAIA ADVENT CALENDAR 2026
A makeup-focused option with 24 full-size products for eyes, lips and face. It’s listed at 1,499 SEK/ £120 GBP on Lyko, which is why I’m curious whether it makes more sense to pick it up while I’m in Sweden later this year. I love this brand so much and want to try more of its products.
IsaDora The Advent Calendar
This might be the best all rounder I’ve found this year. Medik8, Elemis, Laneige, Benefit, MAC, Clinique and Color Wow are brands I’d genuinely use, and 19 of the 25 products are full size! At £120, this feels much easier to justify than some of the ...
The LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar (Worth Over £665)
This is probably the advent calendar that looks most like my actual beauty drawer. A warm brown Huda liner, Hourglass lipstick, Patrick Ta and Saie blush, Westman Atelier mascara, Medik8, Paula’s Choice and Sunday Riley, plus a Summer Fridays lip bal...
The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar Signature Edition (worth over £1,100)
This is the one tempting me if I want proper luxury makeup rather than a mixed brand lucky dip. The full size Couture Clutch, Lovenude Lip Blusher and two Loveshine lip products are the stars for me, with Black Opium and Libre minis making it feel pr...
Advent Calendar 2026
This one wins on sheer generosity. There are 25 products and an almost ridiculous 24 of them are full size. I like the mix of proper skincare, face and body oils, fragrance, makeup and a few lifestyle extras instead of endless tiny samples. My hesita...
Fortnum's Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
Possibly the sleeper hit of the beauty calendars. For £60 there are 28 products, including Antipodes Vitamin C, Trilogy Rosehip Oil, Weleda, Cetaphil and a full size salicylic toner. It doesn’t have the glamour of Cult Beauty or YSL, but there is a s...
Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 | H&B
This feels more like a month of very good self care than a beauty discovery calendar. The Almond Shower Oil, Shea and Almond body products, hand creams, foot cream and Immortelle skincare are all things I’d happily use, but it is heavily weighted tow...
2026 Beauty Advent Calendar | L'Occitane
I have a soft spot for The Body Shop, and this is packed with the kind of shower gels, body butters, lip products and skincare staples that actually get used. But for £139, I think I’d want more makeup, fragrance and genuine beauty discovery. This wo...
The Body Shop Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar
