We Found the Beauty Advent Calendars Actually Worth Buying

‘Tis the season for beauty advent calendars—before they sell out for good, at least! This time of year, we’re either doing a mini unboxing ourselves leading up to Christmas, opening it all in one go if we’re impatient (guilty), or watching our fave influencer unbox every single advent calendar out there. 

Everyone knows actually good beauty advent calendars are rare these days. Sometimes we wonder if they include single eye patches, ornaments, and hair clips on $1,000 advent calendars on purpose. That’s why the ones with a good order value should be celebrated this holiday season—especially when they’re on sale, ahead of Black Friday. 

Lucky for you, we did all the hard work of finding the good ones for you, filled with makeup, skincare, haircare, and more. From an under-$35 set filled with K-Beauty to getting a bang for your buck for that luxury designer fragrance we’ve been dying to try, there’s something here for everyone—and every budget.
