33 Top Beauty Advent Calendars for 2024: Featuring M&S, Elemis, Look Fantastic, and More!
The hype around beauty advent calendars has calmed down. That is, of course, if you managed to snag one. If you didn’t, you might be feeling a bit desperate right now. Fortunately, I’m here to help you—if you’re seeking an advent calendar expert, you’ve come to the right place.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leanne, and I’ve been covering beauty advent calendars since they first hit the market. Each year, I’m amazed by their popularity and how brands continuously aim to outdo themselves, enticing you to spend your hard-earned money. I’ve been compiling this guide since August, right when brands started teasing their calendars for this season.
Some individuals opt for traditional chocolate advent calendars, while others might lean towards jewellery or beauty ones (or maybe all three!). Picking the right calendar is essential—it should bring you joy every single day.

How I selected the best beauty advent calendars for 2024
- Popularity: With a decade of experience writing about beauty advent calendars, I know which ones generate excitement among shoppers. Often, the most sought-after launches will have long waiting lists.
- Price: All the calendars listed below offer more value than their RRP. My aim is to prevent you from spending your hard-earned cash on subpar products, so I will only highlight advent calendars that I believe provide good value. Always consider whether you or the recipient will use all the items inside.
- Star quality: Remember, an advent calendar acts as a festive decoration in your home for at least 12 days in December, so I focus on those that are visually appealing and, ideally, reusable.
