We’ve unboxed 15+ beauty advent calendars this year, but this one is best for skincare

The retailer's long-coveted advent calendar is now live - (The Independent)

The Space NK beauty advent calendar 2026 is now live to shop and joins all manner of this year’s best beauty advent calendars ahead of the festive season. At this point, there are very few big-name beauty calendars left to arrive, with Harvey Nichols and M&S holding off a little ways yet, while the likes of Harrods, Liberty, Selfridges and Cult Beauty are already available to buy.

We’ve been unboxing and testing this year’s most anticipated calendars (16 of them so far, to be exact), and can tell you that Space NK’s offering is certainly one to have on your radar. Behind its 25 doors are 35 make-up, skincare, haircare, fragrance and body products, including 26 full-size buys and 31 products exclusive to this calendar. There’s a strong roster of brands, too, from Saltair and Refy to Hourglass and Skin Rocks.
