Best beauty advent calendars 2024, including Boots, Liberty and John Lewis
These are all the calendars you can buy right now, ranging from £30 to £265.
Beauty advent calendars from both luxury and high street brands allow you to try a vast range of products for less, making the Christmas countdown feel even more special. The only issue? Which one to choose. With hundreds of options on the market in 2024, the choices are endless, so we're here to help you whittle it down.
We've done all the hard work for you and curated your ultimate guide to beauty advent calendars, whether you want to find a bargain option for less than £50 from Boots, or are keen to splash out and indulge in a luxury calendar from the likes of Liberty.
The iconic Fortnum & Mason calendar is currently the highest price, costing £265 and is filled with £1,080 of products, but there's plenty of affordable options too, such as the Cath Kidston that will set you back £45. John Lewis's 2024 Beauty Advent Calendar is the newest addition to the list and has been selling extremely quickly, so we'd snap that one up ASAP if it takes your fancy.
As we've seen in previous years, many beauty advent calendars sell-out in a matter of weeks, sometimes days (Harrods sold out last month). So if you see one you like, make sure to buy it now to avoid disappointment, as once they're gone, they're gone.
