The Luxury Beauty Advent Calendars to Buy Now

I have a rule – no getting excited for Christmas until after Halloween. Rest assured, I’m no Grinch, but I like to try and preserve some of the magic and sustain it until New Year. My one exception, however, is advent calendars. Why? Those bundles of joy sell out and best believe you’ll want to get your hands on them before they do.  From Harrods to Liberty, Vogue to Jurlique, these are the best beauty advent calendars to buy now. 

Liberty 

Each year, Liberty unveils a gorgeously illustrated cardboard replica of its iconic store-front, filled to the brim with beauty goodies. This year is certainly no exception. The design, created by world-renowned Clym Evernden, features charming Christmas shopping scenes, with the brand’s signature purple woven throughout. Inside, you can expect 29 hand-picked products, 21 of which are full-size, from the likes of Augustinus Bader, Jones Road, Lisa Eldridge and more. This collectable has sold out a stonking 11 years in a row, so act fast. Secure yours now.

Jurlique 

Don’t be fooled by the compact packaging; Jurlique’s advent calendar packs a punch. This limited-edition feature comprises 24 compartments, each of which, when opened, reveals one of the brand’s beloved products. Expect age-defying treatments and everyday essentials like eye serums, face oils and lotion – all crafted using only the finest farm-grown botanicals. Get the calendar here.

You may have seen the Medik8 PDRN serum or Saltair body oil trending on social media in recent months, and if you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, don't worry. Both are headline features in the Space NK advent calendar, making up part of the 35-product-strong lineup – 31 of which you won’t find in other calendars and 26 of which are full-size favourites. Father Christmas has come early with this one. Reserve yours today.

Harrods 

The hallowed Harrods beauty halls are ripe for the picking for an advent calendar.  As you’d imagine, this year’s iteration features some of the most coveted launches, cult classics and absolute gems across skincare and makeup. The NARS eyeshadow, Phillip Kingsley conditioner and Gucci Éclat De Beauté Effet Lumière gel face gloss look like particular highlights. Opening this might be even better than Christmas morning itself. Not one to miss, buy yours now.

The Vogue advent calendar has had a makeover this year and the covetable collection of wellness, skincare, beauty, jewellery and haircare now comes in a vintage suitcase design. When you first open it, don’t be shocked; the six large drawers each comprise smaller compartments so there will be no skipping days here. We’re really excited about the TheraFace depuffing wand, Burberry Her eau de parfum, and the adorable Longchamp coin purse. Plus, a portion of the proceeds will be split between charities Sistah Space, akt and Women for Refugee Women. Buy it and it’ll be with you by 6th November. 

NEOM

NEOM’s offering returns for the second year, delivering 24 “wellbeing moments” throughout December. Built on the notion that Christmas isn’t made of grand gestures but small moments, the focus is on rituals – bedtime baths and mood-boosting showers. The Christmas Wish scented candle will have you feeling festive before you know it and the Great-Day pro-vitamin D3 body oil is a skincare staple for any bathroom cabinet. Get your moment of zen here.

Xerjoff and Casamorati

Making its festive debut, Italian luxury perfume houses Xerjoff and Casamorati are the perfect option for scent enthusiasts. Operating on a 12-day model (from 13th-24th December), each door holds a considered olfactory gift spanning perfumes, candles, and festive decorations. The grand finale is a 50ml flacon of Primi Venti Eau de Parfum, with sumptuous, sweet fruity notes of blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, softened by a base of vanilla and white musk. Available soon.
