If you're a makeup lover and don't mind the splurge, P.Louise's What Glows Around 2026 Advent Calendar comes in at £250.

Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar - £275
At the more expensive end of our list is the Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar, costing £275. There are 35 beauty products inside, with 26 full-size products and 31 advent exclusives.

Inside, the contents are worth over £1,200, giving you a huge saving of more than £925. Some of the standout products include Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wand, the Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush, Olaplex No.3 PLUS and Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. This is a great choice for those who enjoy the luxurious side of beauty.
Is a beauty advent calendar worth the money?
Beauty advent calendars can look like a bargain, but don't let the advertised value do all the convincing. A calendar might claim to contain £300+ worth of products, but that's only useful if you'd actually buy and use them. Check what's inside, how many products are full-sized and whether the brands and products are ones you actually want.
And remember, £75 spent is still £75 spent. If it doesn't fit your budget, hundreds of pounds worth of products won't make it a saving!
