YOU Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's beauty shelf — 160 calendars.

Our YOU Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 review
Our verdict
Twenty-six products from 24 brands for 115 GBP, 14 of them full size and the lot worth over 635 GBP by the shop's own count. The full sizes carry it: a Lisa Eldridge mascara, a Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, a Rodial blush, a VIEVE lip oil, two Avant treatments and a This Works body cocoon would cover the price on their own, and the travel sizes read as trials of Sunday Riley, Laneige, Aveda and Bumble and Bumble rather than padding. The smallest minis and the doubled drawers keep it off the top mark.
Reviewed by Viktoria · 2026 season · How we review
What works
- Fourteen full sizes, among them Lisa Eldridge, Charlotte Tilbury, Rodial and two Avant treatments
- Twenty-four brands across make-up, skincare, hair, body and a Jo Loves candle
- Worth over 635 GBP by YOU Beauty's count, more than five times the price
What does not
- Eleven of the 26 are travel sizes, some very small (a 1 ml lash serum, a 2 ml brow gloss)
- Two drawers double up, so it is 24 doors for 26 products
- Oskia's contribution is a fortnight of capsules rather than a skincare product

YOU Beauty puts a retail figure on what is behind the 24 doors; we have not re-priced every item ourselves, so treat the total as the brand's own number rather than ours. The mark on the bar is what you pay.
