The best beauty advent calendars 2024 – from Douglas to Rituals

When someone starts unpacking an Advent calendar on social media, we magically stick to the post. We are too curious and excited to see what surprises, big and small, are hiding behind the doors.

Spoiler alert? Doesn't matter. In this case, we are reluctant to buy a pig in a poke and prefer to be shown what we can look forward to if we too brought this or that copy home.

And here we come to the keyword: order a beauty advent calendar and have it delivered. Even if it still takes a while until December 1, 2024, you should take care of it now if you really want the product you want. Because beauty advent calendars are highly sought after, often strictly limited and sold out quickly.

Not without reason. Beauty Advent calendars not only contain lots of highlight products from top brands, but also usually have a high value compared to the purchase price.

If you have a favorite brand, you should consider an Advent calendar that actually only contains products from one brand, such as Rituals, L'Oréal or essence. If you don't want to commit to a specific brand, multi-brand Advent calendars are just the thing for you. Douglas, flaconi and Lookfantastic are at the forefront here.

Here is an overview of the best beauty advent calendars 2024:
