It's the biggest selection of products we've seen in any beauty advent calendar so far this year.

There's no shortage of choice as far as luxury beauty advent calendars are concerned this year, with iterations from the likes of Harrods, Space NK and Liberty London already proving immensely popular with shoppers, and in some cases, selling out completely (Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is long gone). But there's one recent drop we think might give the rest a run for their money: Harvey Nichols Beauty Advent Calendar 2024.

Quick overview

Costing £250, but with a contents value of £1,000, it's one of the most impressive product lists we've seen so far this year. Inside is a whopping 42 products from 31 brands behind 25 drawers. Some of the big-name brands you can expect to find include Augustinus Bader, Trinny London, Charlotte Tilbury, Le Labo, La Prairie and more. And did we mention there's 18 full-size items?

Available to shop now, we anticipate this being a serious contender in this year's fight for the best beauty advent calendar for Christmas, as it has the most amount of products by far, making it one of the best value options.

Inside are 42 products from 31 of the biggest beauty brands typically found in the luxury department store, 18 of which are full-size.

As far as the most expensive picks in this calendar, there's the cult classic, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, which retails for £74 for 15ml, and is dubbed a cellular renewal rich cream, that helps to deeply hydrate the skin using natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides in what's called a TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex). The luxury cream is a firm favourite among A-list celebrities and the calendar is a great opportunity to try it without shelling out a huge amount on one moisturiser.

There's also a handbag-friendly sample of the delicious sweet fruit and citrus-scented Xerjoff Erba Pura Eau de Parfum which costs a huge £140 for a 50ml bottle, and £205 for 100ml bottle.

Other standout items we're particularly excited to try include Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick (£30), Trinny London's Eye2Eye (£18), 111SKIN's Bio Cellulose Facial Mask (£19) and a Malin+Goetz Mojito Lip Balm (£14).

There's also a full-size Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Blush that shoppers describe as blendable, buildable and perfect for adding little colour all over.

We also love that the calendar includes a ton of useful items that will help bring a little luxury to the everyday chaos of Christmas, including the Bamford Geranium Body Lotion, Neom Happiness Scented Candle and Espa Bergamot & Jasmine Bath & Shower Gel.

Better yet, Harvey Nichols has hidden a £250 gift card in a select number of calendars, and according to the retailer, your odds are one in 100 to find a voucher behind drawer number 25 on Christmas Day.
