Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2026 Review

It’s time for another advent calendar review! Today, I’m taking a look at the Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2026, packed with 27 products, including 19 full sizes, and worth over £665. I genuinely think Lookfantastic has done a great job this year, especially for the price. So, let’s open each of the 25 drawers and see what’s inside.

Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel (145ml, Full Size, worth £29) – a cleanser with Moisture MagnetsTM and prebiotic inulin that lifts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities in one cleanse while maintaining hydration. I love Medik8, and this cleanser has been on my wishlist since its release, so I’m really happy to receive it.

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm in Vanilla (10ml, Full Size, worth £17.50) – a lightweight, moisture-rich lip balm enriched with shea butter and murumuru seed butter for nourishing, on-the-go hydration and a glossy finish. I really like these lip balms. They last a long time on the lips, smell lovely, aren’t sticky, and feel very hydrating.

ESPA Bergamot and Jasmine Bath and Shower Gel (100ml, worth £8) – a gentle shower gel infused with a mix of essential oils. It has a refreshing scent of bergamot, jasmine, and a citrus trio of lemon, lime, and orange. I like the scent. It smells absolutely lovely.

In the next drawer, we have two products:

• Aveda Cherry Almond Shampoo (250ml, Full Size, worth £22) – a shampoo designed to restore softness and shine, with a sweet, fruity-floral scent. It’s a nice shampoo. It smells lovely and leaves my hair feeling soft and manageable.
• Aveda Cherry Almond Conditioner (200ml, Full Size, worth £27) – a matching conditioner that pairs well with the shampoo.

benefit Roller Lash Lifting and Curling Mascara – Black (Full Size, worth £28) – a lifting and curling mascara that helps lengthen and define the lashes. It’s my go-to mascara and one I always come back to. It lifts and curls my lashes beautifully without clumping or smudging, giving them a defined, wide-awake look.

Kanzen Pore Purifier (125ml, Full Size, worth £15) – a face tonic formulated with 0.02% hypochlorous acid to help soothe rashes and skin irritation and support the skin’s natural recovery process.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Extreme Hold Laminated-Look Sculpting Wax (Full Size, worth £25) – a brow wax that shapes, lifts, and tames brow hairs. I love its versatility, as it can deliver a subtle look with a light application or a laminated effect with more product. It lets me style my brows just the way I like without leaving any visible residue

MZ Skin Hydra-Lift Golden Facial Treatment Mask (worth £25) – a hydrating hydrogel mask packed with niacinamide, panthenol, betaine, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica extract, camomile extract, peony extract, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans, and colloidal gold. I had high hopes for it, but I didn’t notice my skin feeling more hydrated or look any plumper after use.

Aveeno Skin Relief Body Oil Spray for Dry to Very Dry, Sensitive Skin (50ml, worth £4.50) – a body oil designed to soothe the skin and lock in moisture. The formula features oat kernel oil, jojoba oil, and vitamins C and E. It’s a nice body oil that absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue.

In the next drawer, we have two products:

• The Beauty Crop Oui Cherie Hydrating Gripping Primer (20ml, worth £8) – a hydrating, oil-free primer that smooths skin, grips makeup, and keeps your look flawless from day to night.
• The Beauty Crop Glow Milk Lip Oil in Pink Lemonade (Full Size, worth £8) – a moisturising lip oil enriched with jojoba oil, squalane, and vitamin E.

Avant Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Molecular Boost Eye Cream (10ml, Full Size, worth £98) – an anti-ageing eye cream formulated to nourish skin from within and combat a number of imperfections, from uneven tone to fine lines and dullness. It’s enriched with hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, and amino acids. This is quite a pricey eye cream. However, I can’t say I’m a big fan of the brand.

LF Reusable Eye Patches (worth £15) – reusable eye masks that go on top of skincare products to help keep gels, serums, and creams close to the skin and improve absorption. I really like the idea of reusable eye masks, but in practice, I’m just not a huge fan of this type of product and don’t find them particularly effective.

Color Wow Dream Cocktail – Kale Infused (200ml, Full Size, worth £26.50) – a hair treatment that minimises the risk of breakage, featuring sea kale, amino acids, and B vitamins. Unfortunately, this product doesn’t work for me, as it makes my hair feel a little greasy and heavy.

Made By Mitchell Blursh Liquid Blusher in Strawberry Cream (Full Size, worth £14) – a liquid blush with a powder-matte finish that can be layered under or over your base products.

THE WHITE COMPANY Amalfi Lemon Luxury scented room spray (Full Size, worth £20) – a room spray with notes of lemon, neroli, and cedarwood.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator (50ml, worth £42) – an oil-free gel-cream that provides long-lasting hydration, leaving skin looking plump and radiant. It’s a nice hydrator with a lovely lightweight texture. It feels perfect for summer.

AMELIORATE Transforming Body Lotion Fragrance Free (100ml, worth £9) – a body lotion designed to improve rough, dry + bumpy skin, including KP. I’ve used this before and absolutely love it, so I’m happy to get another bottle. It’s one of the best products I’ve tried for KP.

MAC Fix+ Setting Spray (100ml, Full Size, worth £29) – a multitasking, alcohol-free setting spray that hydrates, primes, sets, and refreshes makeup. I’ve tried it before and quite like it, so I’m happy to get a full-size bottle.

Spectrum Collections x Lookfantastic Sponge Duo (worth £9.99) – a set of two makeup sponges, one full-size and one mini, for applying cream, mineral, and liquid makeup.

Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist (250ml, Full Size, worth £29) – a lightweight texturising spray designed to add volume, body, and texture to the hair, creating a tousled, effortlessly undone look.  I haven’t tried it yet, but given all the positive reviews, I’m looking forward to trying it.

The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Sun Protection Serum (60ml, Full Size, worth £16) – a hydrating serum-textured sunscreen that offers SPF 45 broad-spectrum sun protection. I love trying new sunscreens, so I’m looking forward to giving this one a go.

UKLASH Eyelash Serum (1ml, worth £20) – an eyelash serum specially formulated to help lengthen, thicken, and nourish the natural lashes. The formula contains the synthetic prostaglandin analogue Isopropyl Cloprostenate, which is the active ingredient responsible for stimulating eyelash growth.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ’40 Perfume Mist (90ml, Full Size, worth £25) – a fragrance mist with notes of black amber plum, vanilla woods, and jasmine blossoms. Although this is one of my favourite Sol de Janeiro scents, I have to admit I’m getting a bit tired of seeing their body mists in almost every advent calendar and beauty box.

Laura Mercier Ultra Blur Powder (6g, worth £23) – a talc-free loose setting powder with an ultra-blurring, soft-matte finish. I love this powder. It keeps my makeup on for so long while blurring pores and fine lines. It gives my skin a soft, natural finish without making it look too matte or flat.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Night Cream (30ml, worth £78) – a moisturising night cream that promotes smoother, more radiant, and firmer-looking skin. It’s formulated with shea butter, jojoba oil, sesame oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, phytosterols, seaweed extracts, laminaria extract, padina pavonica extract, collagen, amino acids, red algae powder, and hexapeptide (hexapeptide-9).
