Beauty advent calendars are no longer just a festive gimmick, they’ve become the most anticipated drop of the year.
When autumn rolls around, beauty lovers race to snap up these limited-edition boxes filled with miniature and full-sized luxury treats behind 25 tiny doors.
From skincare and makeup to fragrance and haircare, these calendars have become the ultimate way to get your hands on a curated edit of cult favourites, all at a fraction of the price.
LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar
Worth a whopping £655 but priced at £105, the Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar is THE one to shop. Behind the 25 doors shoppers will find 28 beauty treats, 17 of which are full size products. Brands in the line up include Sol de Janeiro, MAC, Laneige and Color Wow.
But blink and you’ll miss them as the best ones often sell out long before December even begins.
One that we’re sure won’t be available for long? LookFantastic’s.
For 2025, beauty e-tailer LookFantastic has actually launched three advent calendars, but it’s not the grooming or fragrance one we’re obsessed with – it’s the Beauty Advent Calendar that’s got everyone talking.
At just £105, this calendar delivers a whopping £655+ in value – that equates to just £3.75 per product.
Inside the festive red drawers shoppers can expect to find 17 full-sized products including top brands like MAC, Sol de Janeiro, Medik8, and for the first time ever, The White Company.
