The Stylist x Latest in Beauty Advent Calendar packs 34 products behind 25 drawers, and 31 of them are full size, from a 30ml Drunk Elephant C-Luma serum to a 200ml Body Shop body butter. The brand puts the haul at £634; our own count across UK sites came out higher, worth over £650, roughly four times the ticket price. A handful of accessories pad the number and one blusher shade is pot luck, but the mix of skincare, hair, body and makeup is genuinely broad. One for the beauty obsessive who likes a bit of everything.

Stylist x Latest In Beauty Advent Calendar 2026: 34 products, 25 drawers, 33 brands
The Stylist x Latest In Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 hides 34 beauty products behind 25 drawers, the extra few doubling up so the count runs ahead of the dates. This year’s box leans hard on size: 31 of the 34 products are full size, only three are travel formats.
The heavy hitters set the tone. A 30ml Drunk Elephant C-Luma Hydrabright serum, a 50ml Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume, a 100ml Scandinavian Biolabs scalp serum, a 200ml Body Shop Shea body butter and a 140g Rituals Ayurveda candle all turn up at their retail size, across 33 brands.
What is inside the Latest in Beauty beauty advent calendar 2026?
The split is wide, with little doubling-up. Skincare carries the box, with serums, moisturisers and four face masks (Bioeffect, Emma Hardie, STARSKIN and a Chasin’ Rabbits ice roller alongside). Haircare is well served too: a MONDAY REPAIR hair oil, a Fable & Mane dry shampoo, a FUL gloss cream and the Gisou hair perfume. Then makeup (SWEED mascara, Made by Mitchell blusher, Max Factor lip blur), body, nails and a candle.
The K-beauty and J-beauty picks are worth flagging: Hada Labo Tokyo, Chasin’ Rabbits and STARSKIN all feature, which you don’t always get in a British box. Against the beauty family’s two usual tests, this one scores well on size, 31 full-size products out of 34, and holds a fair balance across skincare, hair, body and makeup rather than drowning in face cream.
Not everything earns its place. A set of Mylee nail wraps, Rose & Caramel tan removal gloves, a Spectrum brow brush and a Tangle Teezer mini are the sort of accessories that inflate a product count, and the Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume is a 5ml mini, not the full bottle. The Made by Mitchell blusher shade is left to chance.
The door-by-door breakdown sits in the SPOILER tab.
What the contents are actually worth
Latest in Beauty puts the haul at £634, just shy of £650. We priced each product on its brand’s own UK site and landed higher than the brand’s claim, nearly £674 at retail, though that figure covers 32 of the 34 products; two we couldn’t price, so the real total is a touch higher.
Either way the direction is the same. Against the ticket price the box sits at roughly four times its cost, and dividing the launch price across the 25 drawers works out at about £6.76 a door.
How the 2026 edition compares with last year
Same box, more inside. The 2026 edition keeps the 25 drawers of 2025 but lifts the product count from 32 to 34. The claimed value multiple eases slightly, from 4.0 times the price in 2025 to 3.8 times this year on the brand’s own figures, so you are getting more items for a value ratio that is a shade lower.
The line-up has turned over completely: not one product carries over by name from 2025. Our editors rated both editions 4 out of 5. If you bought last year, there is no overlap to worry about.
Our verdict on the 2026 edition
This is a properly full-size calendar, and that is rarer than it should be. What convinces first is the size: 31 of 34 products at their retail format, with a Drunk Elephant serum and a Rituals candle doing real work, not sachet duty. The beauty tester who wants to try thirty-odd brands in one go is exactly who this is built for.
Where it wobbles is the padding. Four of the 34 lines are accessories, a brow brush and tan gloves among them, and the Juliette Has A Gun entry is a 5ml teaser. The blusher comes in a shade you don’t choose. None of that sinks the box, but it is honest to say a chunk of the 34 is making up the numbers.
I haven’t had this year’s box in hand, so I’m working from the published line-up and our own pricing. At around £6.76 a drawer against brands you’d otherwise pay full price for, it earns its place.
