ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar 2026

For today’s Calendar Countdown, we’re taking a look at the ASOS Face + Body Advent Calendar 2026.

As always, these posts are based on my own opinion. I’ll be comparing the calendar with previous versions, other advent calendars on the market, and most importantly, whether I think you’ll get your money’s worth from the products inside.

I don’t buy every calendar I feature because, quite honestly, that would be a huge waste of products! Instead, I’m looking at them from the perspective of someone who loves beauty, has years of retail experience, and thinks advent calendars are a great way to discover new brands and try products you might not otherwise pick up.

A large array of beauty and skincare products is arranged in front of and on top of a black-and-white zebra-patterned ASOS "Face + Body" box with a vertical red ribbon against a solid blue background. Displayed on top of the box are various items including Haruharu Wonder sunscreen, Gisou hair oil, Rituals hair & body scrub, Laneige Water Bank cream, Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk beauty light wand, Nuxe dry oil, and a silver Kiko Milano compact. In front of the box, arranged on a reflective surface, is a selection of skincare, makeup, and hair care items, including a purple Biodance sheet mask, The Inkey List pimple patches, YSL Touche Éclat blur primer, e.l.f. Power Grip primer, a rose gold makeup palette, a Morphe lip pencil, Benefit Benetint, Elemis facial wash, Sol de Janeiro body cream, and a pink spray bottle.

How does it compare to last year?

Last year’s calendar contained 26 products, including 15 full-size products, while this year’s calendar contains 25 beauty products, with 15 of those being full size. So, although we’ve lost one product overall, the number of full-size products has stayed exactly the same.

I’m personally not crazy about the design used, but it isn’t festive, making it reusble to store products. The biggest difference for me is the actual product selection. This year’s calendar feels particularly focused on makeup and skincare, with brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Benefit, and Sunday Riley. A great mix of high end and high street.

And when it comes to repeats, I’m pleased to say there are no exact product repeats from last year. So while some of the brand names may look familiar, this isn’t a repeat of last year’s.

Who would I recommend this to?

This would be a good choice for you if you:

  • Love trying lots of different beauty brands
  • Want a mixture of skincare, makeup, haircare and body care
  • Enjoy discovering viral and cult beauty products
  • Like brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Benefit, Gisou, ELEMIS and Sunday Riley
  • Want a good number of full-size products without spending hundreds of pounds
  • Are interested in trying some of the K-beauty brands currently trending
  • Have £98.00 to spend on a beauty advent calendar
  • Want an advent calendar that offers a mixture of high end and high street brands

I’d probably skip it if you:

  • Prefer a calendar made up almost entirely of luxury brands
  • Only want skincare or only want makeup
  • Already own lots of the brands included
  • Don’t think you’d use enough of the products to justify the £98.00 cost
  • Prefer calendars with a much higher number of full-size products

My Thoughts

This is a really solid advent calendar, and the fact that they’ve kept the price at £98.00 is definitely a positive.

At £98.00 for 25 products, with 15 of them being full size and a stated value of £360.00, I think there’s a lot here for the money. With some recognisable brands and newer ones such as Anua and haruharu for that k-beauty element, it gives you a lot of choice too.

I also like that there is a reasonable mixture across the categories. You have skincare, makeup, haircare, body care and even a candle. So it doesn’t feel like you’re opening 25 variations of the same type of product.

The cherry on top, there are no exact product repeats. For me, that’s an important element of an advent calendar. If you’ve bought last year’s calendar, you’re not simply getting a selection of the same products again.

Then there’s the £98.00 price tag. I think ASOS is still sitting in a really interesting position here. It’s more affordable than many of the larger luxury beauty advent calendars, but you’re still getting some very high end recognisable brands and a decent number of full-size products.

As I have mentioned before, the £360.00 stated value doesn’t automatically mean you’ll personally get £360.00 of value from it. If you don’t use hair products, for example, some of those products won’t be particularly useful to you. The same goes for skincare, makeup or body care.

Overall, I think this year’s ASOS calendar is a good option, particularly if you’re looking for something under £100.

Do you get your money’s worth?: Yes
