Let's face it, advent calendars are Christmas catnip. Such is their popularity that many, especially the beauty ones, sell out within hours of being available to buy.
If you're wondering why, we think it's simple - an advent calendar is the gift that keeps on giving. The anticipation of what surprise you'll reveal each day is addictive, and actually quite joyful.
Plus, brands now put way more care and attention into curating their advent calendar products so you (and/or your recipient) can get to try the kind of sought-after, luxury beauty items you'd never normally be able to afford for a fraction of the cost.
Any wonder last year's Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar was the fastest-selling product in the brand's 145-year history and sold out in record time and this year the iconic London store may just beat all their records. Filled with £1,065 worth of luxe products, which you can get your bands on for £245, Liberty's 2022 offering is definitely going to be one to watch.
Cult Beauty is another brand whose Beauty Advent Calendar is filled with over £1,000 worth of products that you can get for £235. While Space NK's is filled with £770 of high-end beauty from coveted brands such as La Mer, Augustinus Bader, Sunday Riley and Paula's Choice, which you can get your hands on for £215.
To beat the risk of sell-out disappointment, we've rounded up some of the best beauty advent calendar buys that are out now, or will be dropping soon so you can snap up the ones you want, pronto.
And we'll keep adding to this as we get more news of forthcoming drops so if you don't want to miss out on the biggest beauty drops of the year, check back.
