John Lewis is never one to disappoint, especially when it comes to Christmas. And this year the team has truly exceeded our expectations, especially with their popular beauty calendar.
Recently, the store reported a 400% increase in customers searching for a “Beauty Advent Calendar” over the summer; This confirms how early shoppers are keen to start their Christmas shopping and gives us the impression that this special edition won’t last long.
A repeat purchase for many, this year’s John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar is the retailer’s largest product selection to date, a departure from previous iterations with 20 full-size items and a wide range of looks from big brands like Kate Somerville, Nars and more. , Votary, Ghost and more.
As for the overall value of the advent calendar, the grand total is worth £933.13. Available for £195, it’s one of the best value beauty calendars we’ve seen so far this year (a close second to Harrods’ incredible £1,599 offer, and on sale for just £250).

If we had to choose the products we’re most excited to try in this epic line of beauty and skincare must-haves, we’d have to start with Murad’s Retinol Youth Renewing Eye Serum. This £89 product helps prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes using a blend of three powerful yet gentle retinols. So say goodbye to under eye puffiness.
Another big product we want to try is Dermalogica’s AGE Smart Biolumin-C Serum. If you buy this serum separately it will set you back a whopping £96 for a 30ml bottle, making it the priciest pick in the selection, costing almost half as much as this entire advent calendar. As a high-performance Vitamin C serum, it helps provide brighter, firmer and more radiant skin.
There’s also a deluxe-sized sample of the Kate Somerville Goat’s Milk Moisturizing Cleanser; The perfect gentle daily facial wash, perfect for use on the go or while traveling, formulated to cleanse and soothe skin without causing tightness or irritation.
£195 £933.13 at John Lewis
As for scent, there are three bag-ready examples from brands like Parfums de Marly, Ghost and Floral Street. For makeup, try Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eyeshadow for a creamy, manageable and longer-wearing formula, Rodial’s Glass Primer for a perfect, hydrating face primer, or NARS’ iconic and super-pigmented Blush ( and more).
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a £500 gift voucher for 10 lucky customers to spend at John Lewis, hidden behind door 25.
