A beauty advent calendar is the most decadent sort of advent calendar.
Loaded with luxurious samples, full-size products, cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, hair treatments, and the lot, there’s guaranteed to be a beauty advent for someone special in your life (or for yourself).
Of course, paying for one makes sense if you want to test a lot from one company and know you’ll get more bang for your buck by sampling numerous goods at once.
These are our best selections for this year.
Sephora
At £189, you can pre-order it now – featuring Glow Recipe, Aromatherapy Associates, and plenty of other covetable brands.
Boots
Boots has stepped it up this year with its first-ever premium calendar, featuring brands like Drunk Elephant and Rituals, for £99.
Elemis
Big fan of skincare? This calendar will set you back £189 – though it’s said to be worth over £500.
Benefit
Exclusive to Sephora, you’re getting bronzers, mascara, and pore products – all of the heroes, for £281.
Liberty
It wouldn’t be advent season without the sellout Liberty one – and you’ll have to join the waitlist to find out more.
The Body Shop
Every year the brand brings out three calendars, each with their own price point, to make it that bit more accessible. They also feature pop-up art, for something extra special.
