Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin have released the 12 Dayz of Fenty Beauty + Fenty Skin 12-Piece Advent Calendar for Holiday 2026. The calendar is priced at £115 in the UK and $190 in the US and contains 12 full-size and mini makeup and skincare products. The box is designed as a pink Fenty shopfront with a gold-framed FENTY sign. It opens like a pair of doors onto twelve drawers drawn as pastel shopfronts and doorways, numbered out of order.

What's Inside the 12 Dayz of Fenty Advent Calendar

The set combines five full-size products, six minis and one Killawatt highlighter (7.5 g; full-size or mini not stated).

Sizes are the fill weights listed on Fenty Beauty's US product page. *The Gloss Bomb Stix size is reported from the Sephora France listing, because the brand page leaves it blank. The UK listing names the mini Hydra Vizor as SPF 20; the US listing names it as SPF 30.

What the Brand Says

The product descriptions below are as stated by Fenty Beauty on its product pages.

• Gloss Bomb Stix: according to the brand, it combines Gloss Bomb shine with lipstick-level colour and locks in moisture for up to 8 hours, with squalane, vitamin E, shea butter and kiwi oil.
• You Mist: the brand describes the setting spray as waterproof and resistant to humidity, sweat and transfer. It says an InvisiFlex Shield protects against pollution.
• Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush in Lolly Poppy: described as a longwear, blendable formula with a diffused finish.
• Hella Thicc Mascara: an ultra-black volumising formula with a tapered brush that, per the brand, coats, curls and lifts lashes.
• Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Wattabrat: a creamy, buildable highlighter that Fenty says melts into skin.
• Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in $weet Mouth: a non-sticky, glass-like shine with the signature peach-vanilla scent.
• Hydra Vizor: according to Fenty Skin, it instantly doubles skin's hydration and layers under makeup without pilling, flashback or chalkiness.
• Fenty Treatz Lip Oil in Barbados Cherry: the brand says its triple cherry formula helps strengthen the lips' moisture barrier.
• Butta Drop: a whipped body cream that Fenty says contains nearly 25% butters and tropical oils.
• Total Cleans'r: a creamy cleanser that, per the brand, removes makeup and impurities without stripping skin.
• Fat Water: a toner-serum with niacinamide that Fenty says tightens the look of pores and helps even skin tone.
• Plush Puddin' Lip Mask in Salted Caramel: a pudding-textured lip mask that the brand says hydrates and smooths lips over time.

How It Compares with Previous Releases

According to Advent.center, the 2025 Fenty Beauty + Fenty Skin calendar also had 12 doors and was listed at $245 in the US. The 2026 edition is listed at $190. None of the 12 named products from 2025 carry over to the 2026 box.

The Dyson Advent Calendar 2026 is Dyson's first beauty advent calendar: 12 drawers of hair care, with a Supersonic Travel dryer in the last one. It costs €399, is sold only in Germany and went on sale on 28 September 2026.

Availability update (20 October 2026): on sale on dyson.de at €399, with an add-to-basket button and a "limited availability" note (it was pre-order only when we checked on 7 October). Dyson says it's a limited edition, sold while stocks last.

Release Date

Dyson says the calendar is available from 28 September 2026 at Dyson and selected retailers, only in Germany and while stocks last. Pre-orders on dyson.de opened on 24 September 2026. Payment is taken three days before the order ships, and the delivery date is shown at checkout.

Price

The calendar costs €399 in Germany. Dyson says the contents are worth €551 in total.

On its own, the Supersonic Travel in the same Ceramic Pink / Rose Gold colourway has an RRP of €299 on dyson.de, and was on offer for €259 on 7 October 2026. At the RRP, the other 11 drawers, the box and the accessories account for €100 of the calendar's price.

What's Inside the 12 Drawers

Dyson has published the full contents:

• Dyson Supersonic Travel hair dryer, Ceramic Pink / Rose Gold (drawer 12)
• Dyson Chitosan Multi-Use Styling Spray, travel size, 50ml
• Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray, travel size, 50ml
• Dyson Chitosan Post-Style Serum, full size, 100ml

• Dyson Supersonic and Airwrap storage bag

According to Dyson, two of the samples are made for straight and wavy hair and aren't intended for curly and coily hair.

The Hero: Dyson Supersonic Travel

The 24 December drawer holds the Supersonic Travel. According to Dyson, it's 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the original Supersonic. Dyson lists 3 heat and 2 speed settings, automatic dual voltage (100–240V) and compatibility with existing Supersonic attachments. It's Dyson's existing travel dryer, not a new launch, and no diffuser is included.

What Makes the Dyson Advent Calendar Different?

• Dyson's first. Dyson calls it "Eine Premiere für Dyson Beauty", its first advent calendar.
• 12 drawers, not 24. Each drawer is opened every second day, from 2 to 24 December.
• A full-size tool inside. The last drawer holds a hair dryer, and the box itself is shaped like a suitcase with a handle, with "supersonic travel" printed inside the lid. Dyson says the calendar is built around travel.

Where to Buy

• Germany: dyson.de (€399, on sale) and Dyson Demo Stores. Dyson says selected retailers also stock it but hasn't named them.
• US: Not available (Germany only)
• UK: Not available (Germany only)
• Other markets: Not available. Dyson says the calendar is sold only in Germany.

Checked 20 October 2026: on sale at dyson.de for €399, marked "Limitierte Verfügbarkeit" (limited availability). We'll update this list if Dyson confirms other markets or names its retailers.

Astley Clarke has launched the Astley Clarke Advent Calendar 2026, a limited-edition 12-piece jewellery calendar priced at £495 (UK), with shipping from 3 October 2026. According to the brand, the contents are worth over £1,080 if bought individually. This is the British demi-fine jewellery brand's second advent calendar, following its debut edition last year.

What's inside the 2026 calendar

Behind each of the 12 doors, spread across two drawers, sits one Astley Clarke jewellery piece. The pieces include necklaces, earrings, bracelets and a ring. According to Astley Clarke, every piece is crafted from 18ct gold plated recycled sterling silver. The brand says the calendar mixes bestselling styles, exclusive pieces and designs created especially for this year's edition.

Price and Value

The calendar costs £495. According to Astley Clarke, buying the 12 pieces separately would cost over £1,080, a saving the brand puts at over 54%. Each door holds a full jewellery piece rather than a sample or miniature.
