Sculpted By Aimee Advent Calendar 2026: 12 doors and an all-new line-up
The Sculpted By Aimee Advent Calendar 2026 is a makeup and beauty countdown built around a 12-door format, with 7 full-size products and 5 advent-exclusive pieces. Sculpted By Aimee is the Irish brand founded by makeup artist Aimee Connolly, known for professional-quality formulas at a price that doesn’t presume a full-time income. This edition arrives with a completely different line-up from last year, at £90 for 12 products, which works out at £7.50 per door.
Beauty lovers who appreciate a brand with real make-up expertise at its core will find plenty here. The shades run from neutral to festive without tipping into fancy dress, and the mix of face, eye and lip products covers a genuine daily routine.
The spirit of Sculpted By Aimee
What sets this brand apart is that Aimee Connolly worked as a make-up artist before building a product range, not the other way around. That shows in the formulas: the Cream Luxe Highlight is built to layer rather than sit on the surface, and the MyMascara is one of the range’s signature pieces. The positioning is mid-range Irish beauty, above mass-market and below luxury without sitting on the fence. The brand has a devoted following in Ireland and a growing one in the UK.
What’s inside the Sculpted By Aimee Advent Calendar 2026?
Twelve products across make-up, skincare and cleansing. The split: 6 make-up products, 4 skincare and body, 2 cleansing items. Seven are full-size, four are minis and one is an advent-exclusive accessory. The line-up in full:
- MyMascara in Deep Burgundy 12ml, a full-size mascara in a holiday-exclusive burgundy shade not sold in the standard range
- Cream Luxe Highlight in Glass Glow 7g, a full-size cream highlighter in a new pale-gold glass-skin finish
- Bare Basics Mini 12g, a mini of the all-in-one palette (8 shades for cheeks and eyes)
- Cream & Powder Duo 3g, a mauve cream shade plus a gold topper, created exclusively for this calendar
- LiquidGlo Mini 50ml, a niacinamide essence in travel size
- HydraBody Nourishing Oil 100ml, a full-size nourishing body oil, the most generous item by volume
- Lip Treat in Rose 15g, a full-size nourishing lip mask in rose
- Line & Shine in Rose 3.5ml, a full-size double-ended liner and gloss in a rosy finish
- Eyeliner Duo in Brown/Nude 1.6g, a full-size double-ended cream pencil
- Cleansing Cloth, a reusable make-up-removing cloth, advent-exclusive
- Fresh Faced Mini 50ml, a vitamin E make-up remover in travel size
- Hydrate & Hold Mini 50ml, a hydrating setting mist in travel size
No fragrance, no haircare. That is a deliberate focus, not an oversight: this is a makeup-forward beauty calendar with skincare in a supporting role. Fans hoping for more face care may find the two skincare minis a little light.

Is the Sculpted By Aimee Advent Calendar 2026 worth the money?
Pricing it product by product against the brand’s own website reaches over £180 of contents, and the brand values the box at around £203. Either way you come out ahead at the launch price: £90 for contents that cost between £180 and £203 individually is the kind of ratio serious beauty-calendar buyers look for.
The strongest value item is the HydraBody Nourishing Oil at 100ml full-size, which sells separately at a meaningful premium. The mascara and highlighter both hold their own. The four minis carry less weight on their own, and the Cleansing Cloth is a nice touch rather than a value driver. Compared with multi-brand beauty calendars around this price, the Sculpted By Aimee box is narrower in brand breadth but more coherent: every product comes from the same house, which works in its favour if you already trust the range, and against it if you wanted a wide discovery box.
The 2026 edition next to last year
Same 12-door format and same £90 launch price as the previous edition, but a completely new line-up. Last year’s box leaned on the CloudCream Maxi, the Liquid Lights blush, Body Glow lotion, LashLift and EasyBrow. None of those return in 2026.
Instead the 2026 edition leans more decisively into make-up: the Deep Burgundy MyMascara shade is a holiday exclusive, the Cream Luxe Highlight in Glass Glow is a new finish, and the Cream & Powder Duo was built for this box. The stated value moves from roughly £208 last year to around £203 this year (over £180 on our own count), so you are in the same value bracket with fresher, more exclusive contents.
My verdict on the Sculpted By Aimee Advent Calendar 2026
The strongest reason to buy is the MyMascara in Deep Burgundy: a holiday shade that never reaches general sale, in one of the better wand formulas at this price. The Cream Luxe Highlight and the HydraBody Oil are both full-size and justify a real chunk of the £90 on their own.
Where I’d pause is the balance. At 12 products, four of them minis, the value story rests almost entirely on the seven full-size pieces, and skincare fans get only two travel sizes. This is a single-brand box, so it rewards people who already know they like Sculpted By Aimee more than anyone after a multi-brand discovery. And one exclusive, the Cream & Powder Duo, has no standalone price to check against.
‘Sold out in four days,’ the brand says of the previous edition, with one calendar sold every 2.5 seconds at launch. I’d read that as a reason to pre-order rather than to panic-buy, with dispatch expected by the end of September 2026.
- Not for: anyone after a multi-brand discovery box, or expecting a full skincare routine
- For: existing Sculpted By Aimee fans, and anyone wanting a genuinely Irish beauty calendar at a mid-range price with real full-size items
