Few things spark the same December excitement as a well-packed advent calendar, and P. Louise’s 2025 edition promises to deliver that daily thrill with a mix of makeup, skincare, and self-care treats. But with a price tag that puts it among the pricier options on the market, the real question is whether the contents justify the cost.
Price (25-day): €365,95 / £250 · Declared value: £567 (25-day) · Days: 25 or 12 · Launch: October 2025 · Category: Makeup, skincare, lip care · Brand: P. Louise

How much is the Plouise 2025 Advent calendar?
P. Louise 2025 Advent calendar price breakdown (25-day vs 12-day)
The 25-day “Cruising Home For Christmas” calendar is listed at £250 on the official UK site, with an option to pay in four instalments of £62.50 via the P. Louise UK official product page. The 12-day “12 Sleighs Of Christmas Bad Bitch Skincare Advent Calendar” is £50 when purchased as part of the duo bundle priced at €365,95 — no standalone price is listed, so buyers must buy the bundle to get the 12-day version.
- 25-day calendar: £250 (regular price), £567 declared worth
- 12-day calendar: £50 in duo bundle (regular price £110, declared worth £200)
- Duo bundle total: €365,95 (£315 approx), combined worth £767
Buyers who only want the 25-day calendar get the best per-day value (about £10 per door). The 12-day version, at roughly £4.17 per door in the bundle, is a cheaper per-item option but forces you to purchase both.
Where to buy and shipping costs
The calendar is sold exclusively through the brand’s own website at ie.plouise.co.uk (P. Louise Irish store) and the UK site. Delivery starts at £6 within the UK, according to the product page. No third‑party retailers are listed, so you won’t find it on Amazon or Boots.
The implication: the price structure nudges buyers toward the duo bundle, even if they only need the larger calendar.
Is the Plouise 2025 Advent calendar worth it?
Declared value vs. retail price: what you get for your money
The brand states the 25-day calendar is worth £567, giving a 2.27× return on the £250 price. The Independent’s review of the calendar counted 49 individual items (when brushes and lip liners are counted separately) and confirmed it offers more than £550 worth of cosmetics (The Independent review and item count).
- Price: £250
- Declared worth: £567
- Items: 49 (according to The Independent)
- Per-item cost: roughly £5.10 (based on £250 ÷ 49)
The declared worth is a manufacturer’s suggested retail value for the sum of the individual products, not a reflection of what you’d pay if you bought them separately today. Some items may be exclusive to the calendar, making direct price comparison difficult.
Contents value analysis based on community itemised list
A Reddit user on BeautyGuruChatter posted a full breakdown of the 25 doors, which Reddit (community itemised list) corroborated with images and packaging details. The confirmed contents include:
- 12 pan palette
- 4 loose pigments
- 3 lip liners
- Bad Bitch Energy Kit
- Makeup bag
- Hand cream
- Micellar water
- 3 skincare/makeup removers (foam wash, etc.)
- Exclusive lip palette and brushes
If you value each product at its approximate individual retail price from the brand’s site, the total does approach the claimed £567 — but only if you need all those items. For someone who already owns many P. Louise products, the exclusivity factor matters more.
Pros and cons of the 2025 P. Louise advent calendar
Upsides
- Strong price-to-value ratio (2.27× declared worth)
- 49 items give a high per-box count
- Includes full-size products (12 pan palette, micellar water)
- Two versions (makeup-heavy and skincare-focused)
- Limited-edition packaging appeals to collectors
Downsides
- High upfront cost (£250) – not a budget option
- 12-day version only available in a bundle
- Some items may be repromoted from earlier collections
- No third‑party retailer stock – you must buy direct
- Shipping cost (£6) adds to total
The pattern: the calendar rewards brand fans and collectors, while casual beauty buyers may find the per-item cost less compelling.
What does the P. Louise 2025 Advent calendar contain?
The official product description promises “25 Days of Beauty, Love & Luxe” and includes a full list of product categories. Based on the brand page and a verified community list, here’s the spec table of every item category.
| Category | Items included | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Eyeshadow palette | 12 pan palette (Destination Diaries Eye & Face Palette) | Full size |
| Loose pigments | 4 loose pigments | Full size |
| Lip products | 3 lip liners, 1 lip palette (Passenger Princess) | Full size |
| Skincare/makeup removers | 3 items (foam body wash, micellar water, etc.) | Full size |
| Hand care | 1 hand cream | Full size |
| Makeup bag | 1 cosmetics bag | Accessory |
| Bad Bitch Energy Kit | Full set (eyeshadow, highlighter, lip gloss, mirror, stickers) | Full set |
| Tools | Brushes (multiple) | Full size |
| Other | Lip scrub, foam fantasy foaming body wash | Full size |
The 12‑day “Sleighs of Christmas” version shifts focus to skincare and lip care, with a different product lineup. The Independent notes the calendar is designed to mimic a diary, with each door revealing a new surprise behind a numbered page.
Are products exclusive or repeats from previous collections?
The brand states the calendar contains “exclusive P. Louise goodies” and the packaging is limited‑edition. However, community comments on Reddit suggest some items (like the 12 pan palette and loose pigments) may be repromoted from the brand’s 2024 or earlier collections. We cannot confirm this from official sources, but if you already own those products, the exclusivity value drops.
Which is the most expensive Advent calendar in 2025?
World’s most expensive Advent calendar 2025 (Debbie Wingham custom)
While the P. Louise calendar at £250 is a premium offering, it is far from the most expensive. Designer Debbie Wingham creates custom advent calendars that reportedly cost tens of thousands of pounds, filled with high‑end jewellery and luxury goods. No official price for her 2025 calendar has been published, but by custom nature, it dwarfs mass‑market calendars.
How P. Louise compares in price and value to other premium beauty calendars
In the beauty space, the P. Louise 2025 calendar sits alongside offerings from Charlotte Tilbury, Liberty London, and Harrods — all priced above £200. The Independent singles out P. Louise as “perfect for teens” (The Independent review and recommendation), suggesting it targets a younger demographic compared to luxury‑skincare calendars. Its value ratio (2.27×) is respectable but not exceptional — some competitors claim ratios above 3×.
Is Plouise aimed at kids?
P. Louise brand demographic and target audience
P. Louise is known for bold, colourful makeup and irreverent packaging — the “Bad Bitch Energy Kit” is one example. The brand’s aesthetic skews toward teens and young adults who enjoy playful, Instagram‑friendly products. The Independent’s description of the calendar as “perfect for teens” (The Independent review and recommendation) aligns with that positioning.
Parental guidance for teens
The calendar includes makeup and skincare products that are generally safe for teen use (no retinol or high‑strength acids), but some products like lip liners and eyeshadows are designed for adult‑level pigmentation. The brand does not explicitly state an age range, but the product page includes a warning that “8 AAAA batteries are required and not included” – a reference to the calendar’s electronic display feature, not a safety warning for children.
When is the P. Louise 2025 Advent calendar release date?
2025 launch timeline: when it became available
The product page went live on the brand’s Irish and UK sites in October 2025, according to Google search snippets and the brand’s collection page. This is in line with typical autumn launches for advent calendars.
Pre‑order window and sell‑out risk
Based on previous years, P. Louise calendars tend to sell out quickly — especially the 25‑day version. The brand does not advertise production quantities, but community chatter on Reddit indicates that early pre‑ordering in late October or early November is essential to secure a unit. The duo bundle, with its higher price point, may stay in stock longer but still carries risk.
“Your one‑way ticket to 25 days of makeup magic, beauty surprises, and self‑love skincare.”
– P. Louise brand description, official product page (P. Louise UK product page)
“The P Louise beauty advent calendar is perfect for teens.”
– The Independent (The Independent review)
The implication: If you’re in the market for a makeup‑heavy calendar with a strong per‑item count, the P. Louise 2025 edition delivers on paper. For the teen or young adult in your life, it’s a well‑matched gift that balances excitement with value. The catch is the upfront investment — £250 is a lot to spend on a calendar that might not be fully used.

For a beauty brand that thrives on hype, the P. Louise 2025 advent calendar delivers exactly what its marketing promises: a daily dose of colourful products at a price that, on paper, offers genuine value. The catch for UK buyers is the £250 upfront cost — more than a premium makeup bundle from a department store. The teen who loves bold looks gets a treat; the parent or gift‑giver seeking a cost‑effective bundle only benefits if the recipient uses every single item.
