Beauty lovers can now get their hands on over £500 worth of full-sized No7 makeup and skincare for less than £135, thanks to a new discount code - but not at Boots. While many see Boots as the only official stockist of the popular makeup brand, No7 actually has its own website too.
As Black Friday approaches, the cosmetics company is offering customers a hefty discount on one of their festive countdowns when they shop directly from the No7 website. The No7 The Ultimate 25 Day Beauty Advent Calendar, usually priced at £175 and valued at over £514, will be available for £131.25.
To secure this massive reduction, customers need to add the calendar to their basket and enter the code ADVENT25 at checkout. This offer will remain valid until Monday, November 25, or while stocks last.

Given that the £60 No7 25 Days of Beauty Secrets Calendar has already sold out, it's likely that the ultimate calendar could soon follow suit. The Ultimate 25 Day Calendar is the perfect gift or treat for anyone who is already a fan of No7 products, or those wanting to try their range without paying full price.
The calendar includes 24 full-sized items, plus a voucher allowing you to choose your own foundation - and it offers significant savings. Valued at over £514.39, beauty enthusiasts will save £382 with this deal, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Included are items from the brand's sought-after Future Renew anti-ageing skincare line, such as the day and night cream, eye serum and face serum.
If bought separately, these products would cost customers £129.80, just £1.45 less than the total price of the calendar. The set also includes a selection of makeup items from the brand's newly-launched Pro Artist range, which was unveiled last month.
All items in the collection are priced under £20, offering an affordable yet luxurious and high-quality range. The collection features makeup essentials with a premium feel, including their cream bronzer, eyeshadow quad, liquid blush and several lip products.
The formulas have already impressed The Mirror's beauty team, who found the perfect red lip for the festive party season. Here's what you'll find inside the No7 Ultimate 25 Day Beauty Advent Calendar:

The Boots advent calendar has been a hit with customers, racking up over 120,000 sign-ups to its waitlist before it even hit the shelves. Shoppers have been quick to sing its praises, with an impressive average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
One happy customer remarked: "As usual a great purchase. A couple of things I've not tried before worth every penny. Plus a few items I can give away."
Another expressed their delight: "Just love it, great advent with great products, always buy this and open it before Christmas, saves me a fortune on products. Some great stuff in there, full size and great for my skin."
However, not all reviews were positive, as one buyer reported receiving a damaged item, leaving a three-star review that read: "The mirror was broken on arrival, hopefully products are in good condition."
Another contented customer shared their excitement about nailing the coveted calendar: "So glad I was lucky to get one this year. I missed out last year. Fantastic value for money and lasts a long time due to full size products. I also like the fact that it gives me the chance to try different products I may not normally try. I have sensitive skin and have had no problem using all the products."
Our very own reporter Harriet took the No7 The Ultimate advent calendar for a spin last month and admitted it's made her a convert, saying, "Since unboxing Boots' No7 The Ultimate myself, I've been adding Future Renew to my nightly routine, its primer and liquid highlighter under my makeup, or curing the start of winter-dry skin with its moisture-boosting body products. Beauty advent calendars are a rare treat for me, but this ultimate box has converted me."
She didn't shy away from singing praises for specific items in the collection, noting, "My favourite without question is the Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Cream, this 50ml size costs £34.95 on its own and everything about it screams luxury skincare - for a reasonable price. Meanwhile, the Full 360 Mascara has been a decade favourite of mine so I was happy to stock up on the one I already use."
Harriet did point out a potential drawback, remarking, "My only slight gripe (if I had to be picky) is the majority of the skincare products are aimed at older damaged skin. Of course, this doesn't mean younger users can't use it but may be worth noting depending on who you're buying for."

Boots also has two premium advent calendars on offer for £99, giving customers a choice between 12-day and 24-day countdowns. For those looking for more wallet-friendly options, Boots has advent calendars from popular brands like Profusion, 17 Cosmetics, Ted Baker, and Soap and Glory.
Meanwhile, other shops such as Next, PrettyLittleThing, and Charlotte Tilbury are presenting their own versions of the festive countdown.
