Release Date
The 12 Days of Glow Discovery Advent Calendar was released on 1 October 2026 as part of Pixi's Holiday 2026 offering. It follows the 2025 edition, which sold out.
Price
- US: $40
- UK: £40
- Canada: CA$64
In the US, the calendar costs $40. Buying the 10 items Pixi sells individually at the same size would cost $92+ at current pixibeauty.com prices:
- Liquid Fairy Lights: $15
- Hydrating Milky Mist (Petite Size): $8
- GradualGlow (Original Size): $18
- Rose Cream Cleanser (Petite Size): $6
- Glow Tonic Cleansing Cloths: $4
- +Hydra LipTreat: $10
- Sheer Cheek Gel: $15
- Brow Tamer: $10
- DetoxifEYE: $3
- Rose Ceramide LipPatch: $3
That total leaves out the 15 ml Glow Tonic and the Petite Blending Brush, because neither is sold separately in the US.
What's Inside
The calendar holds 12 items behind numbered doors. Pixi describes them as a mix of eye, lip, cheek, complexion and skincare products in full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats:
- 5 liquids and gels measured in ml: 15 + 30 + 50 + 15 + 4.5 ml = 114.5 ml
- 3 products measured in grams: 5 + 4.8 + 12.7 g = 22.5 g
- 10 cleansing cloths
- 2 pairs of hydrogel patches (1 eye, 1 lip)
- 1 makeup brush
The 12-door format matches other 12-day calendars this season, such as the EVE LOM Twelve Day Advent Calendar 2026 and the $69 Ulta Beauty 12 Days To Glass Skin Advent Calendar.

What Makes the 12 Days of Glow Discovery Different?
- It is a 12-day countdown rather than the more common 24-day format.
- It mixes full-size, petite, travel and single-use formats, from a 50 ml GradualGlow to single pairs of hydrogel patches.
- Founder Petra Strand curated it and introduces each product in Pixi's "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" social series.
Packaging and Key Ingredients
According to Pixi, the design was inspired by its boutiques in London and LA. The mint-green box is styled as a Pixi shop front, with pink butterfly wings, gold sparkle details, a mint satin ribbon and the words "12 Days of Glow Discovery". It opens like a book to show a pink "shop interior" with shelves labelled PIXI, TONIC, GLOW, MAKEUP and LIPS, plus numbered doors.
According to Pixi, Glow Tonic combines 5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), with aloe vera and ginseng. Pixi says GradualGlow uses 2.5% DHA with coconut oil and hyaluronic acid, and DetoxifEYE contains caffeine and gold. Petra says she wanted to curate her favourites "to brighten, hydrate and bring a little radiance to the season". The set's skincare items sit alongside other launches on our BeautyTalkClub skincare releases page.
How to Use
Pixi suggests opening one product a day or using the items together to build a skincare and makeup routine, following each product's own directions. For pregnancy or breastfeeding, Pixi recommends consulting a physician about the ingredient lists, which it publishes on its product pages.
In the "12 Days, 12 Glow Lessons" series, Petra introduces each product, explains why she chose it and shares a makeup-artist tip.
