Kiehl's Since 1851
Raise your hand if the rollout of the best beauty advent calendars gets your heart racing every holiday season. Still with me? Good—because you’ll want to shop these sets before they sell out. Whether you’re treating yourself (as you should) or crossing people off your list, advent calendars should be high on your list of gift ideas. After all, why deliberate on the perfect singular gift when you can buy them a little bit of everything? On the receiving end, opening up a treasure chest of 25 mini- and full-size beauty products is a euphoric experience—so many makeup looks, scent spritzes, and blowouts to be had!
And before you hit me with the "buttt," I know. Advent calendars give us sticker shock, too. Think of it this way: When you add up the retail value for each product, it’s crystal clear just how much you're saving. The holidays are stressful as is, so I let these calendars do the math for me—and, trust me, it’s a winning formula.
If you're unsure of where to start, I've gone through the arduous task of online window shopping for you. (Spoiler: It was not arduous at all.) Without further ado, here are the best beauty advent calendars out right now—and worry not, I'll be refreshing this story with newness as it rolls out. For now, have your credit card info ready and prepare to be crowned the best gift giver of all time.
