No7 Advent Calendar Review
We checked out the No7 Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 (also called the No7 Beauty Advent Calendar or No7 Ultimate Calendar), and to be honest I have mixed but mostly positive opinions about this one. It is the bigger, more indulgent version of the No7 calendars this year and it looks like a proper treat if you already love the brand.
What it claims
No7 says this is the ultimate calendar, overflowing with 24 full-sized favourites plus a voucher. The contents are worth over £545 and it is currently priced at £180, which works out as a big saving.
It includes skincare heroes from Future Renew, new Prime Forever products, and Pro Artist makeup.
They position it as a great gift for beauty lovers or a well-deserved treat for yourself. It is aimed at any No7 fan who wants full-size products rather than a mix of minis.
Packaging and first impressions
It comes in a proper advent-style box with doors to open each day. The packaging feels more luxe than some of the cheaper calendars I have seen.
You get 25 beauty treats in total, with nearly everything full size. That is a big step up from calendars that fill most doors with travel sizes that disappear in a week. The price is £180 against a recommended retail of around £545 to £550, so the saving is real on paper.
What’s inside
The standout for me is the Future Renew range. You get a good chunk of the Damage Reversal line, including the day cream with SPF, night serum, night cream, eye serum, body serum and hand cream. There are also Prime Forever items like the transformative cleanser and reusable silicone under-eye patches.
On the makeup side you get Pro Artist pieces such as lipsticks, liquid blush, cream eyeshadow, mascara, an eye pencil, lip oils, a highlighter and bronzer duo, plus an angled powder brush. There is also a voucher for a free Pro Artist foundation so you can pick your own shade.
What’s inside is a solid mix of full-size skincare and makeup. You get the complete Future Renew Damage Reversal range (day cream with SPF, night serum, night cream, eye serum, body serum and hand cream), plus Prime Forever cleanser and under-eye patches.
On the makeup side there are Pro Artist lipsticks, liquid blush, cream eyeshadow, mascara, lip oils, a highlighter and bronzer duo, and an angled powder brush, plus a voucher for a free foundation in your shade. There is also the Radiance+ Daily Energising Exfoliating Cleanser, which contains a vitamin C derivative. If you already like the No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum reviewed before, this cleanser is a nice extra for brightening in the same range.
It is a solid mix of skincare and makeup rather than just one or the other. If you already use Future Renew or like the Pro Artist formulas, this calendar basically restocks a big part of your routine in one go.
What we like
The full-size focus is a bonus for us as normally you only get sample size products. Opening a door and finding an actual usable bottle or tube feels much more satisfying than tiny samples. The value is strong if you would buy these products anyway.
At £180 for over £545 worth of stock, you are getting a genuine discount, especially compared with buying the Future Renew products separately. It works well as a self-treat or a gift for someone who is loyal to No7. I also like that it includes both day and night skincare plus some body care, so it is not just face products. You can normally find it at Boots, and it tends to sell out once the festive rush starts.
If you enjoy comparing calendars, this one sits in a different league from the more budget options I have looked at in my best beauty advent calendars round-up. It also pairs nicely with other top skincare products if you are building a full routine.
What to consider
£180 can be a lot to consider. If you are not already a No7 fan or you prefer a wider mix of brands, this calendar will feel very one-note. Some of the makeup shades are specific, so have a look at the colouring. The cheaper £65 No7 25 Days of Beauty calendar exists if you want a lower entry point with fewer full sizes. And like most advent calendars, once December is over you are left with a big cardboard box to recycle.
It is also very focused on the Future Renew and Pro Artist lines. If those are not your usual go-tos, some of the products might sit unused. For a broader range of options at different price points, the best cheap makeup advent calendars list is worth a look.
Who this is for
This No7 Beauty Advent Calendar is ideal if you already use or want to try the Future Renew range and like the Pro Artist makeup. It suits people who prefer full-size products and are happy to invest upfront for the saving. It works as a generous gift or a personal countdown if you want skincare and makeup that will last well into next year. Skip it if you want lots of different brands in one box or if £180 feels too steep right now.
The decisions
If you do not mind spending £180 and you are a big fan of No7, you will probably be really satisfied with this calendar because the full-size products and the saving are hard to argue with. You do have to commit to the brand, but the Future Renew and Pro Artist mix gives you a proper routine refresh.
Worth buying if you want an affordable way (relatively speaking) to stock up on some of No7’s better lines.
