Aldi has released its 2026 beauty advent calendar, the 12 Days of Lacura Beauty Advent Calendar, priced at £19.99. It will be available in stores from October 25. The calendar contains 12 beauty products, including skincare, haircare, and makeup items.
What's Inside the Calendar
The calendar includes a range of products, such as the Lacura Vanilla Lip Balm (7.5g), enriched with shea butter and murumuru seed butter. It also features a new addition to the Lacura range: the 'Perfect Peach' Plumping Lip Gloss (5.1ml), which is exclusive to the calendar. The gloss contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
Other makeup items include the Lacura Set & Forget Clear Brow Gel (2.8ml), which claims to hold hairs in place for up to 24 hours, and the Lacura Girl Gone Bad Mascara (5.6g) in black, enriched with vitamin E. The Lacura Pink Lace Liquid Blush (2.1ml) offers a buildable formula for a rosy flush.
Skincare and Haircare Highlights
For skincare, the calendar includes the Lacura Hyaluronic Acid + Pomegranate Face Mask, which aims to hydrate skin in 15 minutes. It also contains Hydrogel Eye Pads infused with aloe vera and caffeine, and a jade gua sha for facial massage.
Haircare items include the Lacura Leave-In Conditioner (50ml) with hydrolysed wheat protein, tamarind seed extract, and argan oil, plus the Lacura Hair Repair Oil (15ml). The calendar also includes a chic claw clip and a 100% silk scrunchie.
Reviewer's Verdict
A self-confessed cosmetics lover, who previously worked on a makeup counter, praised the calendar for its variety and value. She noted that the vanilla lip balm is a staple and compared it to a Kayali product. However, she expressed a gripe: it can be difficult to repurchase products from Aldi if you fall in love with them.
Despite this, she said she would definitely buy the calendar, noting that for under £20, you can't go wrong.
