Not everyone wants to wait 24 days. The Rituals Deluxe Beauty Set 2026 sits on the same shelf as the brand’s two advent calendars, but it hands over everything at once: 13 products in a glossy pink box shaped like a pout, covering skincare, hair, tan and make-up. Rituals calls it its first-ever beauty gift set, and it reads like a party-season getting-ready kit — cleanse, glow, fix the hair, lashes, lips, out of the door.
If you love the idea of a Rituals advent calendar but would rather open the whole lot on Christmas morning, or have it on the dressing table for the first party of December, this is the one to look at.

The numbers
The Rituals Deluxe Beauty Set 2026 is £137.90, and Rituals states its worth at £163.20. Inside are 13 products, five of which Rituals says are full size, with everything in what the brand calls cabin-proof sizes, so the whole kit can travel in hand luggage. Rituals says nine of the products are new and two are exclusive to the set, among them a hair brush with a scalp scraper hidden in the handle. The split is two skincare products plus a pair of anti-drip wrist bands, a self-tan and a body oil, four hair pieces, three make-up products and a 10ml Aura Blossom. It is on sale now at rituals.com and in Rituals stores, with free delivery on orders over £35.
Does it pique our interest?
The box is the first thing. A lip-shaped gift box in Rituals pink is a proper piece of theatre under the tree, and it is the kind of packaging that makes the unwrapping half the present.
Then there is the way it is put together. This is a routine rather than a random assortment, and you can follow it from sink to door. The Velvet Foaming Cream Cleanser and the Skin Hydrating Concentrate start things off, with the anti-drip wrist bands there to stop the water running down to your elbows — a small, thoughtful touch that anyone who washes their face at a basin will appreciate. The Self Tanning Drops and the Yozakura Shimmering Body Oil take care of the glow, and the Mascara 3-in-1, the Soothing Lip Glaze in French Toast and the Advanced Lip Balm in Teddy finish the look.
The hair section is where it gets interesting. A Detox Shampoo Concentrate and the 30 Seconds Ultra Shine Mask look after the wash, the Hair Perfume — the product Rituals itself describes as viral — takes care of the day after, and the exclusive brush, with its scalp scraper tucked into the handle, is the clever little object people will be showing each other on Boxing Day.
And the cabin-proof sizing matters more than it sounds. If you are travelling over Christmas, or heading off for a New Year break, this is a complete beauty bag that goes straight into hand luggage.
What we’d change
We only have a couple of wishes.
For Rituals’ first beauty set, we would love more of the brand’s colour. A mascara, a lip glaze and a lip balm make a lovely finishing trio, but a blush or a cream eyeshadow from the Make-Up Collection would have turned the lip-shaped box into a full face and made the most of that pink pout on the outside.
It is also worth knowing that the Self Tanning Drops, the Yozakura Shimmering Body Oil and the 10ml Aura Blossom appear in the Rituals Premium Advent Calendar 2026 too. If you are buying both for the same person, expect a few repeats in the glow department.

Who it’s perfect for
This is a present for the person who does their make-up in the car and their hair in the lift — someone with a busy December and not much time in front of the mirror. It suits a Rituals fan who knows the body care and has never tried the beauty side, and it makes a good advent calendar alternative for anyone who would rather have everything at once than a door a day. The hand-luggage sizing makes it an easy choice for a friend spending Christmas away.
If you would rather keep the countdown, the Rituals Premium Advent Calendar 2026 shares the glow pieces and adds a whole home fragrance chapter, and the Rituals Classic Advent Calendar 2026 is the bath-and-body tour of the brand for under £100.
Our Pique Verdict

Best product: Hair Perfume, 15ml — a spritz of scent for day-two hair, and the product Rituals itself calls viral
Biggest drawback: We would love a little more of Rituals’ make-up in a set built around a pout
Value for money: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
