For the beauty savants among us, Christmas is always the best time of the year. So, it’s only natural for us to want a countdown to the big day, and what better way to do that than with a beauty advent calendar?
Throughout the festive season, our favourite beauty brands know how to treat us right, launching limited edition collections or bringing back old, cult-favourites to scoop up before the festive season ends. And given that Christmas and New Years are both times where makeup and manicure moments are in full throttle, there’s no better time to whip out a beauty advent calendar and find your next go-to product.
The offerings typically come in 12 or 24 day assortments, and their fillings of best-selling products usually total more in worth than what you spent in that calendar year. And honestly, that alone makes them worth the splurge.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best and most luxurious beauty advent calendars that you can get your hands on this year—but don’t stall, these will be gone before you know it.
