33 Best Beauty Advent Calendars of 2024 That Are Selling Out Fast

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Look, we don’t want to scare anyone off by saying “Christmas” already, but some of the best beauty Advent calendars have dropped, and we just want someone to share the good news with.

The beauty brands we can always count on for blockbuster Advent calendars are showing out, like Charlotte Tilbury and Augustinus Bader, and Sephora’s 2024 calendar is just about the best it’s been. Plus, we’ve got tons of options from across the pond that we love indulging in (think Selfridges and Liberty London, which might just include a golden ticket this year).

So, get started early by shopping these beauty Advent calendars before they sell out (the Sephora ones always go quick), find out which are worth the most (yes, Jo Malone’s is actually a good value), and keep an eye on this page as more roll in. PS: They make excellent gifts for grown-up beauty lovers and presents for teens alike.

How we tested beauty Advent calendars

When choosing a beauty Advent calendar, there are a few things our shopping editors kept in mind. Does the set include useful products that will actually upgrade your skin care or makeup routine? We also look for a variety of product sizes—does it include a full-size product, in addition to a handful of travel-sized picks that can easily slip into a carry-on? Value is most important. We sorted through the individual products and checked to see if it was worth the price. After evaluating more than two dozen Advent calendars, these are the ones that made the cut for best beauty advent calendars.
