Every year, the Sephora advent calendar impresses, offering what could only be described as the crème de la crème of Christmas beauty treats. And its 2024 iteration is no exception. The good news is that you can already sign up for the waitlist and get ahead of the curve before it drops later this autumn.
Before you say it: yes, we’re very much aware that it’s still August, and Christmas shopping is not high up on our agenda… yet. However, as someone who knows all the best beauty advent calendars like the back of my hand, I can assure you that the most coveted options (i.e. Sephora) tend to sell out well before you commence your annual Love Actually rewatch.
The best part is that this year’s offering is bigger and more impressive than ever (yep, even beating last year’s Sephora advent calendar), packing even more full-size makeup, skincare and haircare goodies, all coming from some of the biggest beauty brands, of course. In fact, we’ve already had a sneak peak, and – without spoiling too much – let’s just say that you’re in for a big treat (scroll down to discover some of the products from the lineup).
After its big launch in 2022, Sephora has quickly become one of the go-to destinations for all things beauty in the UK, housing exclusive brands such as Makeup By Mario, ONE/SIZE, Tarte, ILIA, and, of course, the retailer’s own line, Sephora Collection. Having earned their cult status on a global scale, these brands have also been praised by everyone from celebrities, beauty gurus and some of the most respected makeup artists in the industry.
So whether you’re planning to pamper a fellow beauty-obsessed bestie, treat a family member or surprise your other half, securing the Sephora advent calendar will cement you as one of the best gifters around and earn you all the brownie points in the world. There’s also nothing wrong with keeping it either – why not treat yourself to a well-deserved end-of-year present?
Long story short, if there’s one thing that we know for sure, it’s that this may well be the most sought-after advent calendar on every beauty lover’s wishlist in 2024, period. And if you’re just as excited as the GLAMOUR team, keep on reading, because we’ve saved all the juiciest deets below.
