Every beauty advent calendar has the chance of selling out, but a few notable standouts have already sold out, including Space NK, Harrods and No7. We also expect to see the likes of Liberty London, Selfridges and Charlotte Tilbury to also sell out completely. It's worth remembering that beauty advent calendars are limited edition, meaning once they're gone, they're gone!

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.
