Beauty Advent Calendar FAQ's
What is the most popular beauty advent calendar?
While all of the calendars featured in our round-up are popular choices amongst shoppers, there are some incredibly sought-after examples such as the cult classic makeup brands Charlotte Tilbury and MAC Cosmetics, plus department stores multi-brand offerings from Cult Beauty, Liberty London, Selfridgs, and John Lewis.
Which beauty advent calendars are set to sell out in 2024?
Every beauty advent calendar has the chance of selling out, but a few notable standouts that are almost guaranteed to sell out completely include Space NK, No7, Cult Beauty, and Liberty London. It's worth remembering that beauty advent calendars are limited edition, meaning once they're gone, they're gone!
Which beauty advent calendar is worth the most?
Considering all of the beauty advent calendars that have been released so far this year, the Harrods Advent Calendar sports the highest value of the contents inside. Setting you back £250, this calendar boasts a hefty worth of £1,599, thanks its luxury contents from Augustinus Bader, Tom Ford, La Mer and Charlotte Tilbury.
Which is the most expensive beauty advent calendar this year?
While many 2024 calendars have already been launched, there are still a few yet to hit the market, so it's not possible to know which is the most expensive just yet. However, it's worth noting that fragrance brands and designer labels' calendars do tend to come with heftier price tags due to the high valued contents, making them some of the most luxurious advent calendars on the market – for example, Jo Loves' costs £375 this year and Dior's is priced at £570.
Are beauty advent calendars worth the money?
Ultimately, the answer to this question is completely subjective, depending on which advent calendar you're looking to purchase. However, we'd say beauty advent calendars are certainly worth the investment. Whilst some can require quite the splurge, the contents inside always boast a higher value than the calendar's retail price, meaning you're getting more bang for your buck. It also offers you the opportunity to try a lineup of new products from some of the biggest (and most popular) beauty brands on the market - perfect if you're on the hunt for new products to adopt into your routine. Oh, and did we forget to mention, they simply add to the excitement of the Christmas festivities!
