Beauty Advent Calendar FAQs
What is the most popular beauty advent calendar?
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.
Which beauty advent calendars are set to sell out in 2026?
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!
Which beauty advent calendar is worth the most?
Considering all of the beauty advent calendars that have been released so far this year, the Liberty London Advent Calendar sports the highest value of the contents inside. Setting you back £285, this calendar's contents boast a hefty value worth of over £1,300, thanks to its luxury contents from the likes of Augustinus Bader, Sunday Riley, MZ Skin and Trinny London.
Which is the most expensive beauty advent calendar this year?
Fragrance brands and designer labels' advent calendars tend to boast the heftiest price tags due to its high-value contents, making them some of the most luxurious advent calendars on the market – for example, Jo Malone London's 2026 calendar will set you back £375.
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.
