It would come as no shock to learn that many associate the typically humble advent calendar with sweet treats.
And although they tend to still be the favoured countdown to Christmas among the masses, they sure have come a long way—with the popular seasonal gift set now catering specifically to the beauty and fashion obsessive.
We’re talking teeny tiny drawers filled with widely-loved skincare heroes, cult-makeup products and even glittering trinkets, each surprising you with a brand-new find each day.
And not only do they make the perfect Christmas gift—either self-gifted or given to a fellow beauty and fashion addict—but they’re also a great way to sample a tonne of product for a fraction of the cost. If that’s not the perfect present, we have no idea what is!
Here, we round up the best luxurious beauty advent calendars to splurge on this Christmas.
