Lookfantastic advent calendar can save shoppers £550 on Medik8, White Company and more

While it might feel too early to be talking about Christmas in September, beauty fans are already signing up to pre-order Lookfantastic's 2025 beauty advent calendar.

It costs £105 and includes 25 products, with many full-size beauty staples, and has a total retail value of more than £655. That's a saving of £550.

It features a mixture of skincare, scented treats, makeup staples, and tools from brands including Medik8, The White Company, Molton Brown, Elemis, Rodial and Ren.

It is expected to sell out but shoppers can purchase now and have shipped from 16 September. They will just have to wait a bit longer until December to open them up.

In addition to the beauty advent calendar, Lookfantastic also has the Grooming Advent Calendar, which is worth over £425, for £85, and includes brands Rituals, Vichy and ESPA. If perfume is more your thing, there's the Fragrance Advent Calendar, worth over £485, and retailing for £130. It contains iconic fragrances from YSL, Marc Jacobs, and Givenchy.

There are lots of full-size products in the calendar, but we think these are the standout items.

Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense, 30ml, £59

I've been using this hyaluronic acid serum for years (when funds allow) and it is incredible. It gives skin serious hydration thanks to its combination of acid and vitamin B5, plus antioxidant-rich Saskatoon berry to replenish dry skin quickly without making it feel greasy or leaving a sheen. Plus, it's the perfect base for makeup.

The White Company Seychelles candle, 75g, £12

Containing notes of bergamot, orange, coconut, jasmine, amber and vanilla, this candle is supposed to offer a warm, calming aroma inspired by a breeze across the Indian Ocean. It has a single-wick and an 18-hour burn time.

Iconic London Prep Set Blur, 120ml, £26

A lightweight matte-setting spray, one of its key ingredients is niacinamide, which is a form of vitamin B3 that helps to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture. It can also reduce redness and blotchiness, fade dark spots, minimise pores and fine lines, and protect against environmental damage.

Rodial Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Acid mask, 50ml, £55

Rodial is known for creating luxury, results-oriented skincare using potent ingredients that deliver visible effects. This gel-like, hydrating mask is formulated with hyaluronic acid, 'dragon's blood' extract (actually red sap from a South American tree), and smoothing squalane to hydrate, plump fine lines and even out complexion.

Elemis ProCollagen Rose Marine cream, 15ml, £38

British skincare brand Elemis' Pro-Collagen line is known for its anti-ageing and hydrating products. This particular cream combines 20 varieties of rose water with marine actives like padina pavonica (a type of brown algae), chlorella vulgaris (green algae), and ginkgo biloba to moisturise, firm, and smooth skin texture. The formula is rich in antioxidants and collagen amino acids to support skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 perfume mist, 90ml, RRP £24

It became a viral sensation on TikTok with people rushing to buy the perfume. It has an almost edible scent thanks to its notes of pistachio and almond up top, and a salted caramel-vanilla base. Despite being sweet to smell, it still has floral notes of heliotrope and jasmine. Fans say it smells like summer in a bottle and it is light enough to be applied to both hair and body.

REN Radiance brightening dark circle eye cream, 15ml, RRP £49

Lightweight and fragrance-free, this cream claims to reduce dark circles in as little as seven days, while remaining gentle on sensitive eyes. It has ingredients that include elderberry flower extract to help counter signs of puffiness and free radical stress, and glycogen, which is a hydrating sugar to firm and plump the delicate under-eye area.

Aveda Botanical Repair leavein treatment, 100ml, RRP £36

Designed to work post-shower, it helps detangle, soften, and protect hair while rebuilding internal bonds. The formula shields strands from heat up to 230°C and reduces breakage. Despite being so hardworking, it has a light texture and is non-greasy, making it perfect for all hair types, including fine locks. It features ingredients like avocado, green tea seed, and sacha inchi oils to nourish and fortify.

Customers with a more generous budget could try Space NK's calendar, which costs £260 (worth £1150). It includes full-size products from luxury brands such as Lisa Eldridge, Tatcha and Olaplex, and is now available to pre-order. Alternatively, The Body Shop's offering is £120 (worth £238) and is a brilliant option for those who favour body and skincare products over makeup.
