The Best Beauty Advent Calendars for Christmas 2021
Cult Beauty
The Cult Beauty calendar is always huge and sells out really quickly. It is packed full of generous sized products from a range of brands available on their website. It always features some of the most popular brands and products available at that time. For me, this is one of the very best calendars on the market in terms of value for money and quality products. It’s everything you’ll dream of and more. I bought this the first year Cult launched and it didn’t disappoint.
Price £215 – Value £960
Space NK
This is a calendar I always look forward to and probably one of my personal favourites. The past two years the calendar had a beauty anthology theme and took you on a journey of pampering and preparing for the festive season. This year takes on the theme “Light up”. Encouraging customers to celebrate special moments like self-care, essential recharging, coming together, to lift the spirits, in essence, to light up.
I’d buy it for the packaging alone because I’m obsessed with gold and glitter. This is another one the goes super fast so be quick.
Price £199 – Value £744
Look Fantastic
This is a real winner and crowd pleaser year after year. Full of brilliant brands and products at a more affordable price compared with other calendars on the market. I think this one is awesome value for money when you see what you get. For the most part, the sizes of the products are really good too. I don’t know about you, but I adore this years packaging, such beautiful classic Christmas colours.
Price £85 – Value £450+

Thank you for this roundup, I’m just working my way through advent calendars now trying to decide what to get for my teenagers this year. I have a feeling beauty is the way to go.
They are all so amazing, but so expensive!
