First products revealed in Sephora’s beauty advent calendar 2026

The full lineup remains hush-hush, but Sephora has now unveiled seven products included in the 2026 calendar. Think Medik8, Dr.Sams, and Sol De Janeiro.

There will be 25 boxes (no sneaky tapping out at twenty-four here) filled with 41 products, including 27 full-size products, that will total over £1,000 in value.

The calendar is thought to cost less than £250 (it set you back £225 in 2025), making it a reliably affordable though luxurious winter splurge. Without further ado, here’s what I know, from wishlists to pre-orders to what’s hidden inside.

Adding to the mystery is the only promotional image we’ve seen of the entire calendar. Backlit and shrouded in darkness, the shady image highlights nine full-sized items that only a pro could detect and deduce. Luckily, however, I’ve worked in the shopping space for just under a decade, and I know a Mac lipstick when I see one.

I also think I can spy a Discotheque Lola candle, a Phlur vanilla skin eau de parfum, a Makeup by Mario 12-colour eyeshadow palette (specific palette unknown), a Kayali eau de parfum (scent unknown), a Sephora Collection lip tint felt liner and the Kosas shiny objects wet glisten powder.

Sephora are teasing products in the run-up to the calendar’s launch – and it’s confirmed seven so far. These include a One/Size on ’til dawn mattifying waterproof setting spray, Discotheque Lola at the coat check candle, Makeup by Mario ethereal eyes palette, Sephora Collection lip tint felt liner, Sol de Janeiro body wash, Medik8 niacinamide peptides, and Dr Sam’s flawless cleanser. All the currently confirmed products are full-size – a promising start.

Huge news – the waitlist is now open. Be warned, though, this beauty calendar has sold out at rapid speeds for the last four years in a row, so you’re going to need to have your finger on the buzzer with this one. Better register your email ASAP, you’re not going to want to miss this.
