Lookfantastic Beauty 2026 Advent Calendar: what’s inside and where to buy

Lookfantastic's own beauty calendar for 2026 is a deep plum box with a red LF medallion that twists anti-clockwise to unlock 25 drawers, and behind them 27 products from 25 brands: nineteen full sizes, seven deluxe sizes and a pair of reusable eye patches. The full sizes are the reason it sells out every year — a 145 ml Medik8 cleansing gel, a 250 ml Aveda shampoo and its 200 ml conditioner, Benefit's Roller Lash, a 50 ml Clinique Moisture Surge, a 100 ml MAC Fix+, Sam McKnight's Cool Girl texture spray, The Ordinary's SPF 45 serum, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze and Avant's hyaluronic eye cream, which Lookfantastic prices at 98 GBP on its own.

Lookfantastic publishes the whole list with sizes and a value against each line, and the drawers are numbered rather than themed, so the order is the only surprise. The deluxe sizes are the expensive names in small formats: a 30 ml Elemis Pro-Collagen night cream, a 6 g Laura Mercier setting powder, a 90 ml Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '40 mist, a 1 ml UKLash serum and 100 ml of Ameliorate body lotion.

120 GBP from Lookfantastic UK, which puts the contents at over 665 GBP; 140 EUR from the German, French and Spanish sites, valued at over 771 EUR. On pre-order when checked, dispatching from 2 October.
