Beauty advent calendars seem to launch earlier and earlier every year. While I don't believe in speaking the word Christmas until November, LookFantastic just dropped their 2024 calendar on pre order, and it's so good I had to write about it. The LOOKFANTASTIC Iconic Beauty Advent Calendar is really quite something and I thought you deserved to know why.
LookFantastic Advent Calendar - is it worth the price tag?
I'm not going to lie, £100 is a lot of money to spend on a box of beauty treats you may or may not use. But if Christmas isn't complete until you've opened a drawer to a beauty treat in December, I totally understand. You need to know you're getting decent products, and I think LookFantastic's really does have some gems inside. Plus, it's actually on the more affordable side compared to some of the other big hitters.
LOOKFANTASTIC Iconic Beauty Advent Calendar 2024
This year's LookFantastic advent calendar includes over £565 worth of beauty treats to discover and holds a higher worth value than ever before.
It's packed with 27 products (13 of which are full-size) that spotlight some of the most highly acclaimed and luxurious brands. I'm talking about the likes of Estée Lauder, MAC, and Elemis, as well as my personal favourites such as Medik8, Sol de Janeiro, and Anastasia Beverly Hills.
What’s more, if you're a LookFantastic The Box subscriber you'll get £10 off the advent calendar. New subscribers will also receive £10 off the advent calendar when buying a monthly plan.
My review of the LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar
If you're going to spend your hard-earned money on a beauty advent calendar, it needs to be worth it, and I think LF's absolutely is. There are several products I love and purchase myself, like Estée Lauder's iconic Advanced Night Repair serum that's quite literally transformed my skin, and a glow-giving toner from one of my new favourite brands Medik8. Plus, there's a full-size Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream that's worth over half of the advent calendar's RRP alone!
Inside you'll also find Sol de Janeiro's super popular Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist that smells amazing, and one of my all time faves, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette with shades that suit every occasion and skin tone, from cool mattes to glam shimmers. There's even a £30 voucher for skin tech brand FOREO.

How about the box? Is it sustainable?
Well, the navy and silver box is definitely nice to look at, so you could keep it and re-use to store your jewellery. Or you could save it for next year and pack it with treats for a friend or a family member.
Will the LookFantastic Advent Calendar sell out?
Yes, it sold out in less than a month in 2023. LookFantastic has notified its online database, it's all over social media and on its homepage. I imagine LF will have a lot of boxes to shift, and you may even see special discounts, but it's rare. If you don't want to miss out, I'd advise buying it on pre-order.
