Lookfantastic Debuts First K-Beauty Advent Calendar

Lookfantastic has launched its first-ever K-beauty advent calendar at £50 with £140 of products inside, and Grazia reports it is already selling fast.

Lookfantastic has launched its first-ever K-beauty advent calendar, the '12 Days of K-Beauty 2026,' which Woman & Home says went on sale on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. The £50 calendar contains 13 products — 7 of them full-size — with a stated total value of £140, which the outlet calculates as a 64% saving. According to Woman & Home, the calendar was added after high demand around the retailer's existing lineup of three beauty advent calendars, completing the 2026 range.

Grazia reports the timing is striking too: the calendar only launched on September 23 and is 'already selling fast,' with the commerce writer warning that at this price point it 'won't stick around for long.' Grazia argues it was 'only a matter of time' before a K-beauty advent calendar landed, given how many Korean brands are now available in the UK.

The full-size products, as itemised by both Woman & Home and Grazia, include Anua Zero-Cast Moisturising Finish Sunscreen, Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0, a Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep sheet mask, Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal, SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule, Tocobo Glass Tinted Lip Balm in Tangerine Red, and ISNTREE GIM PDRN Firming Cream. Deluxe sizes include Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Ceramide Barrier Cream, Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser, Aromatica Rosemary Salt Scrub, and two INNISFREE Green Tea products.

Grazia's beauty commerce writer singles out three heroes she says make the calendar worth it. She 'swears by' the Biodance Bio Collagen Overnight Sheet Mask, saying her skin looks plump and dewy afterwards thanks to its hyaluronic acid and collagen. She calls the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal — powered by ginseng extract and retinal — a viral sensation worth the calendar alone. And she praises Medicube's Zero Pore Pads 2.0, whose AHA fruit complex, salicylic and lactic acids she says help cleanse clogged pores and gently exfoliate.

The calendar arrives amid what ELLE describes as K-beauty's outsized influence on the US and UK markets. ELLE notes that Korean brand Wonder Bath's 'Slice Serum' eye patch line brought a fresh twist-and-cut format to Western shelves in July, and that the industry has already seen 'five K-beauty brands launch jelly serum mists in the U.S. within the same month.' For ELLE, these behind-the-scenes supplier and manufacturer flows are how the biggest breakthroughs reach consumers — a pipeline a dedicated advent calendar now distils into one gift box.

The calendar is available to shop now on the Lookfantastic website, according to Woman & Home, which notes free 2–3 day tracked delivery on orders over £25, or next-day delivery for £5.95. Grazia frames it as an ideal entry point for anyone who has 'wanted to treat yourself to some new K-beauty heroes but didn't know where to start,' while warning readers to move fast given the early demand.
