Women snap up ‘wow issue’ grooming introduction calendar with £105 deal with for companions

‘Perfect men’s grooming calendar for all ages’

Beauty advent calendar season is well underway, with a plethora of makeup and skincare collections flying off the shelves of our favourite beauty retailers. While most are geared towards women, men do also need a bit of pampering here and there, and LookFantastic’s latest The Grooming Advent Calendar is ‘perfect’ for this.

Costing £90 but worth £469, the calendar features 25 doors, one for each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. It’s packed with 27 different products – meaning one or two drawers have more than one item inside.

Boasting a ‘complete grooming’ routine, the calendar is packed with moisturisers, shaving balm, SPF, anti-perspirant spray, shower gel, cologne, styling spray, a shaving brush, face and body wash and a whole lot more. With impressive beauty names inside like Avant, Aveeno, ESPA, L’Occitane, Weleda, Bulldog and more, men will be treated to a top quality haul – especially seeing as one product inside is worth £105 on its own.

With the calendar costing £90, shoppers are essentially getting 26 products for free. The Dragon’s Blood Sculpting Gel 50ml from Rodial is a unisex product that is described as a ‘revolutionary gel that defines facial contours and improves the appearance of skin elasticity’.

The best product inside

The Dragon’s Blood Sculpting Gel from Rodial is said to create a protective, second-skin film that visibly reduces redness, while shielding the complexion. This innovative cream plumps and sculpts the skin, dramatically improving elasticity and firmness.

Shoppers praise it for being ‘lightweight’ but ‘extremely hardworking’, with one user noting in a five-star review: “Best product I’ve used for firming and minimising wrinkles in neck area. Sadly too expensive for me to use all the time – but I return to it whenever my skin is particularly dry. Love the dispensing mechanism which releases just the right amount each time.”

Due to its cost, this calendar is ideal opportunity to try it out, all while reaping the benefits of the other products inside. Of course this isn’t the only beauty offering for men knocking about the industry, as Boots has the Baylis & Harding Mens 24 Days Of Advent for £46.

With 24 products inside, it offers ‘head to toe care’ and ranges from shower gels, hair and body washes to face wash, body lotion, aftershave balm, soaps and muscle soak products. Elsewhere, the BoohooMAN 2026 Advent Calendar, £75, is packed with brands like Calvin Klein, Gillette, Nivea, Adidas and more

Consumer feedback

Shoppers who have already snapped up this calendar in preparation for the festive period have been impressed with its contents, with the product having accrued an impressive 4.1-star rating. One user noted: “There’s so much value here I had to get this. Okay, some of the drawers are a little disappointing, but the majority of the products here I would use.

“Plenty of full-size ones, and a few travel-size products that I would definitely make use of during my holidays and travels in general. Thank you LookFantastic.”

Another noted: “Wow factor is definitely what comes to mind. Didn’t disappoint LF.”

Someone else added: “Buy this every year for my husband and son-in-law. Great range of products, value is amazing.”

The only downside for some people was that its appearance doesn’t appear to be festive enough, with one review reading: “It’s not very Christmas in design. The contents look fantastic. But the box is plain. Will need to adapt before giving it as a gift.”

That said, appearance aside, its contents were welcomed by shoppers, with most reviews echoing this praise: “Perfect gift for the man in your life, young or old with varied products that are usable and affordable to rebuy if you like them.”
