Compared to last year, the LookFantastic calendar costs £1 more, but is worth £15 more, with each item working out at £3.70 each. On top of that, this year’s calendar also comes with a £30 gift voucher for leading skin-technology brand, FOREO.
Overall, it has a rating of 4.87 stars from shoppers, including more than 1,800 five star reviews. “This is a great advent calendar, a lot bigger than I was expecting,” said one “It’s definitely worth getting it. I am trying really hard to resist opening it before December.”
Another added: “First time purchasing the beauty advent calendar and will definitely be buying again! It’s definitely worth the price given all the products that are included with some even being full size. Great range of products too that are all useful!”
And while some people may check out the contents to see whether the calendar is a good fit for them, others simply trust LookFantastic to deliver and would prefer for the contents to remain a secret, with one shopper writing: “Perfect gift for a loved one, every item is worth its weight. Only criticism is that products should have remained secret as everyone more or less knows what they’re expecting to get!”
We love a beauty advent calendar here at The Mirror, and our team have reviewed dozens over the years – but there are some that stick out as our favourites, offering the best value for money and most exciting contents.
Among the rivals for LookFantastic this year are the likes of Beauty Bay and ASOS , costing £100 and £95 respectively. For something more high end, though, there’s Sephora and Cult Beauty offering high end hauls with a value of more than £1,000.
Though if you’re keen to get your hands on something a little more purse-friendly, some fantastic advent calendars around the £50 mark come from Ted Baker (£46) and Soap and Glory (£48).
