The best beauty advent calendars still in stock for 2024
Chocolate advent calendar, you say? No... not when beauty ones exist.
The beauty aficionados will know that luxury department store Liberty London was the first, original multi-brand advent calendar (and for many, still the best). Each year, come rain or shine, a queue forms around the store, with husbands, wives, daughters, sons attempting to bag one before it (inevitably) sells out.
Now, it's not just the Liberty calendar that's met with such fanfare. Many of our favourite beauty brands, retailers and stores have thrown their hat into the ring for the ultimate festive countdown. With anywhere from 12 - 30 beauty gifts — often at economical savings — they're a guaranteed success.
If you don't want to miss out, we'd advise you to bookmark this page and join the waiting listing for your favourite beauty calendars as soon as registrations open, especially as some of our the most coveted calendars are already available to buy or pre-order.
In fact, Harrods launched its beauty advent calendar as early as August, while Boots, Charlotte Tilbury, and Jo Malone have all revealed their 2023 calendars this month.
