LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar 2024: An exclusive first look

Thanks to the long-overdue warmer weather, it may feel like summer has only just begun – but true to their reputation, brands are already looking ahead to the holiday season by unveiling this year's beauty advent calendars.

These countdowns for beauty lovers have become something of a Christmas tradition – and LOOKFANTASTIC's range is always a highlight of the season. Spoiler: We've taken an exclusive look at the calendar and the online retailer has outdone itself for 2024.

The treasure chest costs just £100 (one of the cheapest deals), has a product value of £565 and includes a list of major beauty brands.

Behind the calendar's doors, you'll find 27 beauty treats, including 14 full-size products. From cult classics from viral brands like Sol De Janeiro to everyday products from premium names like Elemis, we've got an exclusive sneak peek at the calendar ahead of the unveiling.

The retailer's beauty advent calendars have been hugely popular – in previous years there has been a waiting list of over 150,000 pre-orders. To make sure you don't miss out, we've rounded up all the details on the retailer's beauty advent calendar below, from the official release date to how to join the waiting list.

When will the LOOKFANTASTIC Advent calendar be released?

The 2024 Beauty Advent Calendar officially launches on September 18th and will be available to pre-order from September 1st. Over 150,000 people have joined the waitlist in previous years – so with the mega brands on offer this year, we recommend you act fast. You can join the waitlist now to be one of the first to know when pre-orders start.

Which products will be included in the LOOKFANTASTIC Advent calendar?

The calendar contains 27 products, 14 of which are full-size (compared to 12 in 2013). While we have to wait until September 1st for the full range, we can already exclusively reveal four products from the 2024 range.

Behind the doors, you'll find a full-size Sol De Janeiro Delicia Drench perfume (our tester described the new scent as “a vacation in a bottle”). You'll also find a deluxe-sized Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream—in our review of the cult formula, our tester said, “Its fast-absorbing, lightweight, silky gel-cream texture keeps the complexion well-hydrated.”

Rounding out the first reveal is a deluxe-sized Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. It secured a spot in our review of the best anti-aging serums and our testers said they were “definitely convinced that it does what it says on the tin and found our skin looked much clearer and healthier.”

If you look at previous years, LOOKFANTASTIC's beauty calendar has everything you need for winter pampering sessions as well as everyday basics.

How much will the Lookfantastic Advent Calendar cost?

The LOOKFANTASTIC Advent Calendar for Christmas 2024 costs £100 (slightly more expensive than last year) but has a total value of £565 – so you're saving £465. Even better, LOOKFANTASTIC Box subscribers get 12% off the Advent Calendar, and new subscribers get 10% off when purchasing the monthly plan.
