Prepare for the festive season with the most luxurious beauty advent calendars of 2024. These meticulously curated collections offer an array of makeup, skincare, and self-care treasures that elevate the traditional December countdown far beyond ordinary chocolates and trinkets.
Liberty London kicked off the craze in 2014 when it introduced the world to beauty-related Advent calendars. With their innovative concept of replacing sweets with bestselling beauty products, audiences fell in love and their holiday gifting became the new gold standard. Forward to today, and almost all the big beauty brands and retailers have found their way to offer their version of the holiday.
These calendars, from luxurious Charlotte Tilbury to self-care hit Lush, promise both surprises and indulgence. Beauty Advent calendars aren’t just about the goodies within (high-quality products are often included at a fraction of what they’d cost on their own), but the high that comes from daily discovery.

3. Beautiful Packaging
These calendars are true works of art, not just for their contents but also for their stunning designs and festive themes that double as beautiful holiday decor, instantly adding cheer to your space.
