The festive season is fast-approaching, making it the perfect time to secure one of the best beauty advent calendars before they’re all gone. That’s right: with the majority of our top picks having already gone on sale, waitlists are officially no longer a thing – and stock is dwindling.
It should come as no surprise that beauty advent calendars make the perfect Christmas gift for virtually any makeup, skincare or perfume lover. After all, there’s no better way to count down to Christmas than unpacking a new beauty treat every single day throughout December.
And like always, we’ve seen most of the biggest brands in the industry (including Harvey Nichols, LookFantastic and Charlotte Tilbury) treat us to their own beauty advent calendars, with each one expected to sell out well before we can even get to November, so you might not want to leave them hanging in your wishlist for too long. Luckily, that means that there’s a flurry of options that you can shop right now – and some are even available on Amazon with free next-day delivery. Sound too good to be true? Don’t worry, they’re very real.

When do beauty advent calendars go on sale in 2023?
Most – if not all – retailers and brands such as Sephora, The Body Shop, Sisley and more have already made their advent calendars available ahead of the holiday season. And if there’s anything we’ve learnt in the past few years, it’s that the most popular and luxe options are likely to be sold out within the next few weeks, while others will be gone well before you can even put out your Christmas decorations.
What are some of the items that are in a beauty advent calendar?
Think: toners, niacinamide serums, firming eye masks, vitamin C serums, shower gels, mascaras, eyeshadow palettes, face masks, refillable perfumes, gentle makeup removers and more. And yes, that includes all-time classics, trending bits and even newer launches from 2023. Each advent calendar contains up to 25 (and in some cases over 30) of their bestselling beauty treats, which, if purchased separately, would cost a whole lot more than the total calendar price.
