Latest edition · Issue 07 · October 2026
The Urban Supplement Issue 07 examines beauty advent calendars for Christmas 2026, with 24 illustrated calendar selections and four premium extras. It covers makeup, skincare, bathing, body care, grooming and luxury beauty gifting, with individual Amazon UK product links.
We consider the difference between a 12-day and a 24-day calendar, full-sized products and miniatures, the usefulness of the contents and the limitations of headline savings claims. Prices, sellers and availability may change. Check current product details before purchasing.

The Urban Supplement takes one subject at a time and explores it properly, whether that means skin biology and professional treatments, perimenopause, or the reality behind beauty-product marketing. Our editorial approach is to explain the evidence, practical considerations and limitations before recommending anything.
Published by No.1 Urban Aesthetics in Newcastle-under-Lyme, with contributions from Rebecca Beckett RN and Christopher Beckett ACP, the magazine includes clinical features and occasional consumer beauty edits. These subjects are different; we make that distinction clear.
