I emptied the Charlotte Tilbury beauty advent calendar – and it’s her best one yet

This year's offering features three more products than last year's - (Lucy Smith/The Independent)

The Charlotte Tilbury beauty advent calendar has had a bit of a makeover for 2026, with more products and a lower price tag than last year. For anyone choosing between the best beauty advent calendars on offer this year, that’s worth knowing – although calendars from the likes of Harrods and Cult Beauty typically boast better value for money (more on this below). That’s not to say you should rule out Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood beauty wonderland advent calendar, though. It seems the brand has finally listened to feedback, adding more beauty buys while cutting the price by £5.

The 12-door calendar still centres on the brand’s bestselling make-up and skincare, with some full-size favourites among the contents, and there’s more to discover than in previous years, including exclusive items and new launches from 2026.
