No7 The Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
For today’s Calendar Countdown, we’re taking a look at No7 The Ultimate Beauty 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.

How does it compare to last year?
How does it compare to last year?
If you bought the No7 Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar last year, there are a few things to consider before picking up the 2026 version. The price has increased slightly, going from £175.00 in 2025 to £180.00 this year, while the number of doors has dropped from 25 to 24. However, you still get 24 full-size beauty products, alongside a £15.00 voucher towards a Pro Artist Foundation.
The overall value has increased too, from around £530.00 last year to £545.80 this year, so despite the £5.00 price increase, No7 has managed to add more value to the contents.
There is also a reasonable amount of crossover between the two calendars. 5 of the products are repeats. So if you bought the 2025 version, I’d definitely recommend checking the full contents before purchasing. That said, the majority of the calendar is new, so it isn’t simply a rehash of last year’s box.
One of the things I liked about last year’s calendar was the sheer number of full-size products, and thankfully that hasn’t changed. The 2026 calendar continues to focus almost entirely on full-size No7 products, with a similar balance of skincare and makeup.
So, while I would have preferred to see the 25th door retained rather than the price increasing, the actual contents haven’t taken a backwards step. If anything, the higher overall product value helps soften that change.
Who would I recommend this to?
This would be a good choice for you if you:
- Are a big No7 fan.
- Want full-size skincare rather than minis.
- Already know you’ll use Future Renew products.
- Want a complete No7 skincare and makeup collection.
I’d probably skip it if you:
- Don’t regularly use No7.
- Don’t want multiple anti-ageing skincare products.
- Think £180.00 is too much to spend on one advent calendar.
My Thoughts
I think No7 has put together a really solid Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar this year, particularly if you’re already a fan of the brand. I like that this feels like a genuine full-size beauty collection rather than a calendar padded out with lots of tiny samples, and the mix of skincare and makeup gives it a good amount of variety.
The Future Renew products are once again a big part of the calendar, so this will definitely appeal more to someone who already enjoys No7 skincare or has been wanting to try the range. Alongside that, there is a good selection of Pro Artist makeup, including lip products, eye makeup, blush and complexion products, so it doesn’t feel as though the calendar is entirely skincare-focused.
I also like seeing some of No7’s newer products included this year, particularly the Prime Forever additions. It gives the calendar a little more of a sense of discovery rather than simply filling it with the brand’s longstanding bestsellers.
My main criticism is the reduction from 25 doors to 24. Yes, you do get a £15 foundation voucher, and the overall value has increased, but when you’re paying £180 for an advent calendar, I can’t help feeling that the 25th door is part of the fun. I’d much rather have seen that extra product included alongside the voucher.
The other thing I’d flag is the number of repeats. Five products from last year’s calendar appear again this year, which isn’t a huge proportion of the box, but it is enough that I’d definitely check the contents if you already own the 2025 calendar.
Overall, though, I think this is a strong offering from No7. The fact that you’re getting full-size products throughout makes the £180 price tag easier to understand, and there is a good mixture of skincare, makeup and newer launches. For a dedicated No7 fan, there is plenty here to get excited about; for anyone who bought last year’s Ultimate calendar, I’d be a little more selective and check how many of the products you’ll actually use before repurchasing.
Do you get your money’s worth?: Yes
