All beauty fans eagerly await beauty advent calendar season. Each Christmas, our fave beauty brands release one-off calendars stocked to the brim with cult faves and holiday specials, making every day of December a little treat. Who needs a chocolate advent cal when you can unbox lipstick, perfume, mascara and more?
Each year, we're blessed with beauty advent calendars from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, Cult Beauty, Benefit, MCoBeauty, Lush, The Body Shop and Jo Malone. Each advent calendar is loaded with each brand's best-selling skincare, makeup, and haircare products — and it's significantly cheaper than the total cost of the individual products.
The best part? Most brands don't wait until the tail end of the year to drop their beauty-stuffed calendars. In fact, some brands are rolling them out already. Once people catch wind that the advent calendars are out, especially from the in-demand brands, they sell out pretty quickly. So if you want to get your hands on one, now's the time.
