How I Chose the Best Beauty Advent Calendars

I spent weeks searching for beauty Advent calendars—featuring viral and staple makeup, skincare, perfume, bodycare and haircare products—across the internet. I also considered options from tried-and-true retailers (with fast shipping options) like Ulta, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. In the end, I chose calendars that offered the most bang for your buck (like this Anthropologie Holiday Collection Beauty Advent Calendar, which costs $98 but has a total value of a whopping $300+). That brings me to this list of the 20 best beauty Advent calendars that money can buy this holiday season for someone on your list or a nice treat for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Consider When Shopping for a Beauty Advent Calendar? 

When it comes to finding a beauty Advent calendar, there are a few things to keep in mind. 

  • Take a close look at shipping times to make sure it'll arrive in time for gifting, or your own Christmas countdown.
  • Ask yourself, do you want a box that only has skincare, haircare, bodycare or makeup products? Or do you want a mix of beauty products across categories? 
  • Consider whether you (or your gift recipient) would like products from a specific brand or would prefer to try a bunch of different brands from big retailers like Ulta, Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, etc.
  • Analyze how many products come in each box to get a sense of its total value. The Advent calendars range from seven to 24 surprise gifts inside. 

What Are the Most Popular Beauty Advent Calendars This Year?

Although we’re not in the thick of the holiday season just yet, there are quite a few popular picks if you want to get a head start on your gifting spree (and many sell out well in advance of the holidays, so it’s good you’re getting a head start). After scrolling through social media, it seems that people are sticking with beloved beauty Advent calendars from Ulta and Sephora, which rarely disappoint with their splurge-worthy sets. Another Advent calendar I'm predicting is going to be *huge* this year is the Anthropologie, Augustinus Bader (again) and Lush.

Whether you're looking for travel-size hair dryers you can take on-the-go or women’s walking shoes that won’t hurt your feet, we’ve got you covered.
