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:
Revolve Beauty Advent Calendar
Last year, the next-gen fashion retailer launched its first-ever beauty Advent calendar with cult faves in mini and full-size versions. This year, expect Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment (8 ml) as one of the stars in the beauty squad. Well-loved for its gentle exfoliating properties, take this mini with you on the go during your holiday travels to stay bright all season. Just like last year, we’re sure this calendar will sell out fast.
NYX Cosmetics Gimme Super Stars 24 Day Holiday Countdown
Featuring 24 of the makeup brand’s best-sellers, you’ll get a variety of face, eye, and lip products in this limited-edition gift set.
