A festive glow-up awaits.

With many things to love about the magic of Christmas, from decorating the Christmas tree with your favourite ornaments to kicking back with your best friends and family, dressing up and holiday glam is definitely high up on the list.

We’re all familiar with the classic chocolate advent calendars (which we love also), but what we do have our cat-eye-lined eyes on this year are beauty advent calendars. Filled with best-sellers, cult-favs, and your next holy grail.

Coming in generally 12 or 24 day count downs with luxurious beauty products behind each cardboard door, these calendars have us slapping on that primer in anticipation.

So, if you’re obsessed with all things beauty, or you have a beauty-lover in your life you want to surprise this season, below we’ve rounded up the best beauty advent calendars that you can shop right now.
