Beauty enthusiasts have been racing to the Boots website this morning as the health and beauty retailer has launched one of its biggest deals of the season. Year after year, the No7 beauty advent calendars are among the most coveted by loyal fans and savvy shoppers alike - and for 2026, they’ve gone all out.
There are two different options to choose from this year, with one luxury offering, and one more affordable countdown. At £180, The Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar is the big-ticket option, promising £550.75 worth of products, including the complete Future Renew regime and a voucher for a free Pro Artist Foundation.
Meanwhile, the 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar costs a much more budget-friendly £65. It also contains 24 skincare and makeup treats, including eight full-size products, alongside a No7 voucher, boasting a value of £248.93.
Ultimate Calendar Features Full-Size Products
For devoted No7 users, the Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar offers the most impressive line up of products and the biggest savings. There are 24 products inside and every single one is full-sized.
The calendar brings together some of the brand’s most prestige collections, including Future Renew, Prime Forever - which launched this year - and Pro Artist ranges. The Future Renew offering is particularly impressive with the No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Cream 50ml typically retailing at £34.95.
Designed to work while you sleep, it stars No7’s Pepticology peptide technology alongside ingredients including hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and niacinamide. No7 says the range is designed to support the skin’s natural self-repair process and help reverse visible signs of skin damage.
Speaking on the formula, one shopper wrote: “Using along with the night serum and what a difference, my skin is so much better and the lines under my eyes.”
Another added: “I bought this cream for the second time some months ago and can only describe it as miraculous! As a lady of a certain age, I was looking for something to at least try to keep these wrinkles at bay. Well it did and I am really impressed and delighted with the results.”
However, some find the fragrance a little overpowering. One said: “I like this cream a lot, it’s not heavy, but feels moisturising. My only niggle is that the smell is quite strong, not that it’s unpleasant, just that I'd prefer less or no scent.”
Though another five-star rating read: “Amazing, I have damage under my skin so I have a few bits of sunken skin, and wrinkle around it. This cream and the serum has helped immensely, it plumped my skin out and it looks much better. I recommend this and the serum together and you don't need to use a lot so it lasts for a good while. I will be buying more from this set.”
Makeup and Voucher Included
But that’s not the only Future Renew product in the set. There’s also the Damage Reversal SPF 40 Day Cream, Serum, Night Serum, Eye Serum, Body Serum and Hand Cream all featured, effectively giving customers the opportunity to build an entire Future Renew routine from the calendar.
And then there’s the makeup. The Pro Artist collection includes a lipstick, cream eyeshadow, liquid blush, eye palette, glitter lipstick, lip oil, mascara, eye pencil, lip shine, highlighter and bronzer, plus an angled powder brush. There is also a No7 voucher for a free Pro Artist Foundation worth £19.95, so shoppers can select their perfect shade.
While £180 is a significant splurge, the savings of £370.75 are undeniably impressive. Also, we rarely see advent calendars where every product is full sized, so that’s another big advantage to the haul. However, for anyone already committed to No7, there’s a possibility you’ll already own some of the products, while those who haven’t used a great deal of their formulas previously might feel a bit overwhelmed by this particular countdown.
Alternative Options and Budget-Friendly Choice
Meanwhile, OK! Beauty Box has opened registration for its countdown, which has been curated with makeup artist Hannah Martin. Following three record-breaking OK! Beauty Box launches, Martin has selected 25 days of treats spanning makeup, skincare, fragrance, wellbeing and more. Worth over £605, it’ll be priced at £109 and the first 3,000 customers to pre-order will also receive £20 off.
Another popular option each year is Glossybox, with their 2026 advent calendar containing 26 beauty products, an impressive 22 of which are full size, with a combined value of £645. Sneak peeks have already revealed a Patrick Ta Major Headlines Crème and Powder Blush Duo and Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense Serum, and we can only hope the rest of the line up is equally as exciting.
Back at Boots, arguably the more accessible of the two No7 offerings is the 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar, which costs £65 but has a value of £248.93, giving it a saving of £183.93. Inside, there are 24 beauty treats, including eight full-size products, with the rest made up of smaller skincare and beauty products making for an ideal introduction to No7’s range.
The contents are also a little more varied than the Ultimate calendar. Makeup lovers get a Matte Muse Lipstick, Luxe Liquid Blush, Lip Liner, Lip Shine Oil, That’s A Wrap Tubing Mascara and 12-Hour Artist Eye Pencil. There’s skincare too, including Future Renew, Radiance+, Protect & Perfect and Restore & Renew products, however, some of the sizes are particularly small, with two of the products being 5ml each.
Shoppers also get a Prime Forever Serum, a Flawless Finish Blending Sponge and Wash Cuffs. And, like the Ultimate calendar, there’s a voucher – this time offering £5 off a selected Future Renew product.
For the dedicated No7 fan, the Ultimate calendar is the one that is likely to create the biggest buzz, but if you’re new to No7 or buying one as a gift, the £65 option may be the better choice. Shoppers can explore both on the Boots website here.
