Labello KISSMAS Advent Calendar

Labello KISSMAS Advent Calendar 2026: 24 doors, 11 full-size lip balms and 12 stickers

The Labello Advent Calendar 2026 is the most single-minded beauty box of the festive season, and it owns it. Behind its 24 doors sit 11 full-size lip products, one decorative accessory and 12 Labello stickers. That is the whole of it: no minis, no travel sizes, no filler sachets. The sticks are the same 4.8g tubes you pick up at the till in Boots, and the gloss is the full 10ml tube.

The pink KISSMAS carton is built for teenagers and lip-balm regulars rather than seasoned makeup buyers. It skips mascara, skincare and fragrance altogether, and that is the point: it is a countdown to Christmas built around one daily habit, keeping your lips from cracking through December.

What’s inside the Labello advent calendar?

Eleven of the 24 doors hold a lip product, each in the size sold on the shelf all year:

• 9 tinted and caring 4.8g sticks: Classic Care, Hydro Care SPF 15, Med Repair SPF 15, and the Shine range in strawberry, cherry, blackberry, watermelon and mango, plus Soft Rosé
• 1 Glowy Lips Berry gloss in 10ml, the largest format in the box, with SPF 30
• 1 Caring Beauty Lip & Cheek balm in pink, a tinted balm you can wear on lips and cheeks

The remaining thirteen doors are the honest catch: one Charms Cap accessory with a keyring, purely decorative, and 12 Labello stickers. Half the calendar, in other words, holds no product at all. If you came for surprise value behind every door, this is where the box stops giving.

What the contents are actually worth

Here is where a UK buyer needs to look twice. Labello is cheap on the high street, and that changes the maths. We priced each product on UK retailers: the 4.8g sticks run £2.45 to £3.45 each, the Glowy Lips 10ml gloss £3.88 to £5.17. Add the eleven full-size items and you land between £31 and £40 of real product; the Charms Cap and the stickers carry no resale value.

Against a £56.53 ticket, that is a ratio below 1: the box costs more than the sum of what it holds. Split the price across the 12 physical items and you are paying about £4.71 per product, for sticks you can buy at £2.45 in a shop. This is not the calendar to buy for a saving.

A calendar built for one job: keeping lips soft in December

Most beauty calendars try to be a tour of a whole range. This one refuses. Every functional door does the same thing, lip care, and the variety lives in the finishes rather than the categories: bare Classic Care for daily wear, SPF for cold bright days, five fruit tints for colour, a rosé balm and a lip-and-cheek stick. Teenagers who lose a Labello a fortnight and lip-balm hoarders will get the most out of it, because it feeds a habit they already have.

What it will not do is broaden anyone’s routine. There is no skincare step, no makeup to learn, nothing to gift a fragrance fan. Set beside the multi-brand beauty calendars that fill the same shelf, this is the budget, one-brand option, a lip-balm restock with a countdown attached rather than a beauty discovery box.

My verdict

I like the honesty of the format more than the value. Eleven full-size products is a lot for a lip calendar, and full-size is full-size: nothing here is a token 1ml sample you throw out in January. The pink light-touch design suits its audience, and the fruit tints are the genuine fun of it.

Then half the doors are stickers, and at this price that stings. As I put it: ‘you don’t open this box for surprises, you open it so you never have to hunt for a lip balm all winter’. That is a real reason to buy it, but it is a narrow one, and the value simply is not there against £56.53 when the same sticks sit at £2.45 in Boots.

• Not for you if you want a saving, a range to explore, or a door worth opening every single day
• For you if you or a teenager live in lip balm and want 11 full-size ones with a festive ritual on top
