11 Of The Best Beauty Advent Calendars To Shop In 2022
Tiny doors, tiny treasures and a Christmas countdown—a little beauty advent calendar mystery makes for the best gift-giving.
For the beauty aficionados among us, Christmas is always the best time of the year. Frank Sinatra’s Ultimate Christmas is on repeat, holiday launches are aplenty and in recent years we’ve had the introduction of the beauty advent calendar. Why do these dollhouse sized packages, with elevated detailing make us swoon each year? It’s probably because of the nostalgia giving, day-by-day reveal. And, let’s face it, who doesn’t love tiny gifts wrapped in a little mystery that ends with an array of multi-items for your vanity? Think: skincare, body products, haircare or fragrance—it’s an all-in-one tableau of beauty!
One day you might find Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wand, or her Wonder Glow Soft Focus Beauty Flash. Or maybe it’s Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream and Sunday Riley’s C.E.O Vitamin C Brightening Serum the next. Whatever your preference may be, there’s a calendar for every type of beauty enthusiast.
Ahead of the silly season, we roundup the best beauty advent calendars to shop for a merrily suspenseful countdown.

The Cult Beauty Calendar is in a league of its own! A 37-piece edit including a range of “Cult Beauty Icons” and “under-the-radar indie” brands, it’s an advent calendar that has all our beauty besotted friends swooning (including us). While it might seem a bit indulgent in comparison to its counterparts, it’s worth noting that over 75,000 pounds ($133,000 AUD) from sales will be donated to Mental Health UK and a tree will be planted for every advent calendar sold.
