There are a lot of holiday traditions, but there’s one custom we certainly all look forward to every year: getting an Advent calendar. While the typical chocolate is nice and all, if you’re a beauty aficionado, our favorite calendars are stuffed with the best skincare and makeup products. They’re a perfect way to treat yourself in anticipation of the holidays or give one to a friend as the gift that keeps on giving. It’s a great introduction to brands and products you might not have otherwise thought of trying — so you’re bound to find new favorites. Plus, the packaging is always fun. Now that we’re pretty sure you’re convinced to get one, it’s just a matter of figuring out which one to buy:

Just like last year, we’re sure this calendar will sell out fast.
