I Tried the Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 Here’s Why It’s Worth Every Penny (Plus, the One Product I Didn’t Love)

Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2025

There’s something undeniably magical about beauty advent calendars the daily ritual, the suspense, the joy of discovering a new treat every morning. But this year’s Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 feels extra special. From the moment the chic red box arrived at my doorstep, I knew it was going to be a highlight of my festive season and it hasn’t disappointed.

At £105 for over £655 worth of products, it’s an investment that genuinely delivers on value. What I love most is the variety — it’s not just skincare or makeup, but a beautifully curated mix of products that span across self-care, haircare, body, and even fragrance. Every drawer brings a new surprise, and it’s this thoughtful balance that makes it such a joy to open each morning.

The design itself feels luxurious elegant, sturdy, and totally reusable (I’ve already decided it’s becoming my new beauty storage box for 2026). There’s something so satisfying about sliding open each drawer to find a perfectly sized product waiting inside.

My Favourite Discoveries (Spoilers Ahead)

I won’t lie there were several products that made me gasp out loud. Medik8’s Hydra B5 Intense has become a permanent fixture in my skincare routine — it leaves my skin plump, hydrated, and genuinely glowing. The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist is sunshine in a bottle; warm, addictive, and exactly the kind of scent that makes people ask what you’re wearing.

I also loved Iconic London’s Prep Set Blur, which gives my skin the kind of soft-focus finish that makes me look more rested than I actually am. And the ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy? Like an eight-hour spa treatment in a jar.

The “Okay” Product

Of the 28 products inside, there was only one that didn’t quite live up to the rest. The Glow Hub Buff Blush Stick was fine wearable and easy to blend but it just lacked the pigment and payoff I expected from a premium lineup like this. It’s not a dealbreaker (I’ll still use it for “no-makeup” days), but compared to the rest of the box, it felt like the weak link in an otherwise stellar collection.
