Count Down to the Holidays with These Beauty Advent Calendars

Looks like Christmas has come early, collegiettes—and it’s here for an entire month. No matter what holiday you celebrate, these advent calendars make your December pretty exciting. Since we can’t think of a better way to count down to the holidays, we’ve rounded up five of the cutest beauty advent calendars for you this holiday season. You’re welcome!

1. Benefit Cosmetics “Candy-Coated Countdown” ($99)

Fans of Benefit Cosmetics, look no further. Not only is the “Candy-Coated Countdown” itself cute enough to want on its own, but this sweet shoppe-esque calendar contains 24 delectable mini products—including many of Benefit’s bestsellers. Though the fun doesn’t stop there, because it also includes a doodle pad, heart-shaped paperclips, hair accessories, and more! 

2. Ciaté “Mini Mani Manor Advent Calendar” ($60)

After we saw this on Kylie Jenner’s Instagram, we knew we had to have it. And if you’re a self-declared mani maniac, you really need to have it. This is truly a palace of perfect pigments. The calendar itself is designed to look like a manor decked out for the holidays, and we just don’t think it gets any cuter than that. It even includes a full-sized Glitter nail polish. So go ahead, take your pick from this wide array of beautiful colors. 

3. The Body Shop Beauty Advent Calendar ($50)

It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas… Wait, is that how it goes? It does now. The Body Shop’s Beauty Advent Calendar contains soaps and lotions with scents ranging from Almond to Cranberry to Glazed Apple. Yum! Not to mention the calendar alone is super cute and festive. We think this would make a great gift for a friend! 

4. Lush “12 Days of Christmas” ($99.95)

And last, but certainly not least, we could not have thought of a more adorable way to package your holiday treats. Lush never fails to deliver, especially with their “12 Days of Christmas” calendar. The calendar opens like a giant story book and contains Christmas-themed products for pampering. (Seriously, there’s a Santa bath bomb.)
