Iconic London launches beauty advent bags saving shoppers more than £350 on makeup
Iconic London has unveiled not one, but two beauty advent calendars for 2024, which are packed with some of the brand's bestsellers, and will save shoppers hundreds of pounds
by Bethan Shufflebotham · The MirrorCosmetics brand Iconic London is best known for its glow-giving products that are popular with celebrities, influencers, and professional makeup artists. And now, shoppers can save hundreds of pounds on a full face of glam as the retailer has launched not one, but two beauty advent calendars.
However, unlike the traditional glitzy boxes, Iconic has done something a little bit different for their festive countdown . Instead of a regular advent calendar, the beauty favourite has launched advent bags, with all of the products coming stuffed in a luxe pale pink puffer bag that you can use long after December.
There are two bags to choose from, catering to different budgets, with the more affordable being a 12-day offering. Worth £354, the cheaper of the two advent bags costs £150, and contains 12 of Iconic’s glam bestsellers. And the best part? They’re all full size.

Inside, shoppers can expect to find some of the brand’s heavy hitters, each one having been individually wrapped and numbered. Some of the exciting additions include an eyeshadow palette, Triple Threat Mascara for sky-high lashes and cult-favourite Illuminator Original.
At £150 for 12 products, shoppers will save around £204 on the RRP, with each item working out at £12.50 per product. Here’s everything inside the 12-day advent bag for £150:

The second advent bag from Iconic is a 24-day offering and features everything inside the 12-day calendar, plus 12 additional makeup heroes. This one is a little more expensive at £250, but is worth £608, saving £358 on the RRP.
According to the brand, it’s the ‘perfect luxury gift for a loved one or an indulgent treat for yourself’. But if you’re money-savvy like us, you might want to snap up this advent bag to divide into stocking fillers, with each product working out at £10.41, making it better value than the 12-day offering.

The Iconic advent bags launched on November 1, which is fairly late for an advent calendar launch, seeing as some brands released theirs as early as August. In fact, we’re already seeing some go on sale ahead of Black Friday.
One we’ve seen drop their price is Revolution, whose calendar is worth £97, but has been slashed to £36. Elsewhere, the 12 Days of Kitsch Advent Calendar is 30% off with the code PRIMETIME.
And, until Saturday, November 2, Boots shoppers can get 25% off the No7 beauty advent calendars with the Mirror-exclusive discount code ADVENTSAVE25. Or you can pick up the Iconic advent bags here from £150.
