These Beauty Advent Calendars Will Totally Get You Into The Holiday Spirit

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — especially for beauty lovers. It’s no secret that the holiday season is the best time to shop. Tons of brands release new special products and gift sets to help you get the most value for your money. Beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta are always stocked up with fun beauty gift sets, but what really stands out is brands’ fun assortments of beauty advent calendars. 

There’s nothing like the thrill of opening a new surprise every day. Whether you’re looking to wow a friend with your gift or simply treat yourself, you can’t go wrong with a beauty advent calendar. While some may have gotten a bad rap in the past (we’re looking at you, Chanel), there are tons of amazing options out there that are sure to brighten up your holiday season. Whether you’re looking to splurge or just want to try something new, there’s an option for everyone. After all, who wouldn’t want to open up a new beauty product every day?

ULTA 12 Days of Beauty Set

The ULTA 12 Days of Beauty Set ($22) is inspired by the zodiac, so there’s something for everyone! Treat yourself each day to new favorites, including a tinted lip oil, highlighter, eyeshadow, and more. This beauty advent calendar would also make a great Secret Santa gift!

Voluspa 12 Day Advent Calendar

While they’re not *technically* a beauty product, candles do pair exceptionally well with bubble baths and face masks, so I’d say the Voluspa 12 Day Advent Calendar ($75) is perfectly fitting. My roommate and I bought a candle advent calendar last holiday season and couldn’t wait to light a new candle each night. These candles from Voluspa smell amazing and come in the most beautiful glass vessels.

The Sephora Favorites Advent Calendar ($85) is perfect for anyone who loves trying new beauty products because it includes an array of Sephora favorite brands, including Briogeo, Supergoop, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro, and Summer Fridays.

Bath lovers, this one’s for you. Cult-favorite brand Lush is known for their holiday gift sets, and the Lush Advent Calendar ($300) is no joke. Stock up on 25 days worth of festive bath bombs, shower gels, and more. (Yes, it’s a bit of a splurge, but it’s *so* worth it.)
