Beauty Pie has skipped the little doors again. Its 2026 “Better Than An Advent Calendar” is a single box of 14 full-size bestsellers, from the Japanfusion cleanser to the Micro-Caviar overnight mask and an Orange Absolute eau de parfum, plus a reusable Beauty Pie bag and a year of Beauty Pie+ membership, for £249. Beauty Pie puts the stated worth at £1,028 at “traditional retail”, and the Better Than An Advent Calendar was showing “Low Stock” on 16 October 2026.
It is one of the more unusual Christmas beauty buys this year, because the membership is half the point. Here is what is inside, how the maths works, and who it suits.
Not an advent calendar, and that is the idea
Everything arrives at once: no countdown, no miniatures, no 24 doors to open. Beauty Pie describes it as its “definitive beauty edit”, built around products its members repurchase most, across skincare, make-up, body care and fragrance. Every product is full size, according to the brand.
The other half of the box is the membership. If you are not a member, the included year of Beauty Pie+ (which normally renews at £59 a year) lets you join and shop at member prices; if you already are, Beauty Pie says you can use it to extend your own membership by a year or gift it to someone else.

What we think
This is a smart box if you like Beauty Pie, or have been curious about it. Japanfusion and the Youthbomb serum are the brand’s best-known products, the Micro-Caviar mask is a cult favourite, and a 50ml eau de parfum and a 180ml body creme are proper, usable sizes. Compared with a classic calendar of 24 tiny samples, you get fewer products but far more to actually use.
The catch is the stated worth. Beauty Pie’s £1,028 is its own estimate of what comparable luxury products would cost elsewhere, not the sum of its own prices, so do not treat it as a saving. The fairer test is whether you would buy most of these products anyway. If you would, the box is a very good way to get them and a year of membership in one go. If you are not sure you will keep shopping at Beauty Pie after the first year, remember the membership renews automatically at £59 unless you cancel.
Who is it for?
It will suit anyone who prefers full sizes to miniatures, new Beauty Pie customers who were going to join anyway, and existing members who want a big restock (or a present for a friend, thanks to the giftable membership). If you want the daily surprise of a real advent calendar, look elsewhere: the LOOKFANTASTIC beauty advent calendar 2026 and the GLOSSYBOX advent calendar 2026 are both good value, and the Selfridges beauty advent calendar 2026 is the big name of the season. You can compare them all in our beauty advent calendar guide, and find the background on the brand in our Beauty Pie listing.
