Lookfantastic’s beauty advent calendar is worth £665, but it’s a lot cheaper

The Lookfantastic beauty advent calendar 2026 is finally here, with 25 days of beauty treats worth £665 for just £120.

It joins the lineup of best beauty advent calendars for 2026, with big-name retailers including Harrods, Cult Beauty, Space NK, Sephora, Liberty and Harvey Nichols already unveiling their own offerings.

This year is a little different for Lookfantastic, marking the first time the retailer has put an expert-selected collection at the heart of its advent calendar. The products have been handpicked by industry experts and content creators, including Perrie Sian and Sophia Tuxford, hair stylist Dom Seeley and beauty editor Sarah Jossel.

The fragrance and grooming advent calendars also return for 2026, following sell-outs of both in 2025. The fragrance calendar is worth more than £530 and costs £150, while the grooming edition contains 15 full-size products, is worth more than £469 and costs £90. Here’s everything you need to know about all three calendars, including the full contents and where to buy them.

Number of products: 27 (19 full-sizes)

Advent calendar highlights: Medik8 total moisture daily cleansing gel, Elemis pro-collagen night cream, Benefit roller lash mascara, Color Wow kale-infused strengthening treatment

Available: 1 September, pre-order open now

The biggest change for 2026 is the way Lookfantastic has approached curation. Rather than a traditional edit chosen behind the scenes, each of the 25 doors has been hand-picked by a different beauty insider, expert or member of the retailer’s own team. The lineup includes The Girls Bathroom hosts Sophia Tuxford and Cinzia Baylis-Zullo, celebrity hairstylist Sam McKnight and social media star Gary Thompson.

One of the Lookfantastic calendar’s biggest strengths has always been its relatively accessible price point. While beauty advent calendars of this calibre can now cost £200 to £300 or more, with prices creeping up year-on-year, Lookfantastic has continued to offer a broad selection of brands at a comparatively lower price.

Last year’s calendar cost £105 and was worth £655, with 15 full-size products from brands including Elemis, Medik8, The White Company and Mac. For 2026, the price has increased by £15 to £120, but so has the same value, which now stands at £665. There are also four more full-size products this year, taking the total to 19, a welcome increase that makes the £120 price tag feel considerably more compelling.

Owing to the speed at which the Lookfantastic calendar sells out, I’d recommend pre-ordering while you can.

At just £90 (but worth more than £460), it’s a more budget-friendly Christmas countdown yet still offers something for everyone. And it would make an excellent gift.
