Aldi has brought back its £19.99 Lacura Advent Calendar, and this year's version includes a key change compared with the 2025 offering. The calendar is set to land in the supermarket's middle aisles on October 25, with a line-up that leans more heavily into nourishing skincare and haircare alongside the usual makeup favourites.
What's inside the 2026 calendar
The calendar features 12 days of products, including a new addition to the Lacura range: the Lacura 'Perfect Peach' Plumping Lip Gloss (5.1ml), which is launching exclusively in the calendar. The formula combines warming and cooling actives with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to create a fuller-looking pout while leaving lips smooth and hydrated. The shade is described as slightly more nude-toned than a typical orangey-peach.
Other items include a Lacura Vanilla Lip Balm (7.5g), Set & Forget Clear Brow Gel (2.8ml), Girl Gone Bad Mascara (5.6g), Pink Lace Liquid Blush (2.1ml), Hyaluronic Acid + Pomegranate Face Mask, Hydrogel Eye Pads (2-piece), a Jade Gua Sha, Leave-In Conditioner (50ml), Hair Repair Oil (15ml), a Chic Claw Clip and a 100% Silk Scrunchie.
A value-focused countdown
The calendar is aimed at shoppers who want a daily beauty treat without spending more than £20. A reviewer who got an early copy noted that each item feels well thought through, though they pointed out that Aldi products can be hard to find again once they sell out. Despite that, they concluded that for less than £20, the calendar is a worthwhile purchase.
