PrettyLittleThing Beauty Advent Calendar 2026: 24 doors, one bonus, a Sabrina Carpenter scent
The PrettyLittleThing Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 lines up 24 named products behind 24 doors, plus one surprise bonus gift, so you actually open 25 items across the countdown. It is a multi-brand mix, make-up, skincare, haircare, a fragrance and a couple of accessories, wrapped in a burgundy and pink carousel drawer box with unicorns and a gold PLT logo.
This year the headline is a proper celebrity fragrance: the Sabrina Carpenter Cherry Baby Eau de Parfum sits behind one of the doors. It sits at the affordable, everyday end of the beauty calendar market.
What is inside the PrettyLittleThing beauty advent calendar 2026?
Twenty-four products are named, and one door hides an unannounced bonus. The mix leans firmly towards make-up, nails and lashes (roughly 13 of the 24), with a smaller run of skincare and body, one haircare mask, one fragrance and a couple of accessories. It is a get-ready box more than a skincare routine.
Two things stand out on the list. The Iconic London Get Cheeky face powder palette (4x4g) is the make-up anchor, and several pieces come in generous full sizes: the bBold face serum at 50ml, the Bloom & Blossom Hands Up hand cream at 50ml and the Hair Gain hair mask at 50ml. By our count 18 of the 24 are full size or a reusable accessory, with 6 minis or deluxe samples, which is a healthy ratio for this price.
PLT states the contents are worth £297. Priced 23 of the 24 named products at UK retail, our own tally lands at £241, under the brand figure but still roughly three times the launch price. Divided across the 24 doors, each one works out at about £3.33.
The door-by-door breakdown sits in the SPOILER tab.
From £206 to £297: how the PrettyLittleThing calendar has grown
The edition we documented last year carried a stated worth of £206. This 2026 box moves up to a stated worth of £297, and the launch price has risen alongside it. The most concrete addition is the Sabrina Carpenter Cherry Baby fragrance, a named celebrity scent the previous line-up did not have.
What has not changed is the brief. It is still the accessible, use-it-daily PLT beauty calendar, heavy on make-up and quick self-care, light on premium skincare.
My view on the PrettyLittleThing Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
What works first is the honesty of the mix. Named brands like Iconic London, Made by Mitchell and Makeup Revolution sit next to PLT exclusives, and the full-size ratio is genuinely decent for this price. The Sabrina Carpenter scent is the clever hook, and at 10ml it is a real bottle, not a scratch card.
Where I’d push back is the value gap. PLT says £297; I get to £241 pricing the named items, so the advertised worth sits about £56 above our own tally. And this is a make-up-led box: fans of serious skincare or haircare get one serum, one sheet mask and one hair mask, and not much else. Anyone hoping for a fragrance-and-skincare split will find the balance tilted.
Still, for someone who lives in gloss, lashes and nails, the maths holds up. As I’d put it: ‘you’re paying one price for a make-up bag that would cost you just over £240 to fill piece by piece, and a celebrity scent on top.’ The BONUS10 code knocks 10% off. Trend-led make-up lovers will get their money out of it.
- Not one for skincare or haircare devotees: the box is make-up, nails and lashes first.
- Great for anyone who wants to sample a lot of named brands at once, with a real Sabrina Carpenter fragrance in the mix.

PrettyLittleThing, the Manchester label that added beauty to fast fashion
PrettyLittleThing started in Manchester in 2012, founded by brothers Umar and Adam Kamani, and built its name on trend-led, affordable fashion aimed at a young audience. Beauty came later, as a natural extension of the same idea: lots of on-trend pieces at a price that does not ask you to commit.
The calendar carries that logic into 24 doors: it takes the PLT habit of packing in variety at an accessible price and applies it to a countdown, which is why the box is stacked with make-up and quick wins instead of one expensive hero. PrettyLittleThing sells it directly.
