PrettyLittleThing Launches Two 2025 Beauty Advent Calendars as TikTok Critique Targets £60 Option

Early reactions question whether the stated savings stack up against richer offerings from LookFantastic and Boots.

Overview

  • PrettyLittleThing released a £60 calendar advertised as worth £206 and a £100 Premium version advertised as worth £318, both available now with full contents listed.
  • The lineups span makeup, skincare, haircare and body care, featuring brands such as Peter Thomas Roth and Filter by Molly‑Mae alongside PLT’s regular beauty partners.
  • A TikTok unboxing by Niamh (@niamxo) criticized the £60 calendar as low quality and said many items felt cheap, noting she received the product for free.
  • Online comments echoed concerns, alleging repeated items from last year and arguing the standard box’s contents do not justify the £60 price.
  • Coverage contrasts PLT’s claimed savings with higher-value calendars on the market, including LookFantastic (£105 RRP, £655 claimed value) and Boots (£150 RRP, £612 claimed value), with Sephora also offering budget-focused options.
