Beauty Advent Calendar FAQs

While all of the calendars featured in our round-up are popular choices amongst shoppers, there are some incredibly sought-after examples such as the cult classic makeup brands Charlotte Tilbury, No7 and Jo Malone. Plus department stores multi-brand offerings from Space NK, Liberty London, Selfridges and Sephora.

Every beauty advent calendar has the chance of selling out, but a few notable standouts that are almost guaranteed to sell out completely include Space NK, No7, Cult Beauty, and Liberty London. It's worth remembering that beauty advent calendars are limited edition, meaning once they're gone, they're gone!

Setting you back £275, this calendar's contents boasts a hefty value worth of £1,245, thanks its luxury contents from the likes of Augustinus Bader, Ex Nihilo, Jones Road and Lisa Eldridge.

Which is the most expensive beauty advent calendar this year?

Many 2025 calendars are still yet to hit the market, so it's not possible to know which is the most expensive just yet. However, it's worth noting that fragrance brands and designer labels' calendars do tend to come with heftier price tags due to the high valued contents, making them some of the most luxurious advent calendars on the market – for example, Jo Malone's will set you back £360, while BVLGARI's is priced at £393.

Are beauty advent calendars worth the money?

Ultimately, the answer to this question is completely subjective, depending on which advent calendar you're looking to purchase. However, we'd say beauty advent calendars are certainly worth the investment. Whilst some can require quite the splurge, the contents inside always boast a higher value than the calendar's retail price, meaning you're getting more bang for your buck. It also offers you the opportunity to try a lineup of new products from some of the biggest (and most popular) beauty brands on the market - perfect if you're on the hunt for new products to adopt into your routine. Oh, and did we forget to mention, they simply add to the excitement of the Christmas festivities!
