Beauty Advent Calendars To Get Your Hands On

For others, the telltale signs of the festive season are cosy sweaters or the definite chill in the air. But for us in the UAE, it’s when our favourite brands roll in with their much-awaited beauty advent calendars.

Traditionally, advent calendars count down the days until Christmas by revealing a small item or devotional phrase on each day. But in the beauty world, it’s spiced up with best-sellers, limited edition releases, or fun little surprises. It’s got the best of everything from makeup, skincare, body care essentials, and, yes, even fragrances.

Ahead, we have the best beauty advent calendars to gift this festive season – be it for you or your loved ones!

This one will surely be the star of your Christmas tree – if it even makes it there, that is! It features 12 luxurious drawers filled with Charlotte Tilbury’s most magical products. You get the full-sized versions of the Lip Oil Crystal Elixir, Brow Fix, Color Chameleon, and Light Wand. Of course, there are also the mini sizes of our favourites: Magic Cream, Wonderglow, and the best-selling Pillow Talk mascara. And if you think it could not get any better, the packaging is like a separate surprise. It’s pink, sparkly, and has jewel-handled drawers that you can reuse for your vanity or as a jewellery box!
