Beauty advent calendars: what each type holds

Beauty calendars in these listings weigh from 0.4 kg to 2.4 kg, and the weight is a quick clue to what is inside. Makeup calendars weigh 0.4 to 0.6 kg and skincare and bath calendars 1.4 to 2.4 kg: a box of lip glosses and highlighters is light, and one with moisturisers, shower gels and body creams is not.

Prices run from £9.50 to £115, with the middle near £33, which is £1.37 for each of 24 doors. Divide any price by 24 to compare calendars, then look at what the doors hold.

Makeup calendars

Makeup sets list lip gloss, highlighter, blush, mascara, lip masks, brushes and palettes. In some, brushes count among the 24 items, so check the item list for how many are actual makeup. One W7 listing says its calendar mixes mini and full-size products, and some budget sets are labelled for women, teens and girls at once, so read the contents, not the label.

Skincare, bath and fragrance calendars

The NIVEA calendars hold moisturisers, face masks, lip balms, body creams and shower gels, and the NIVEA MEN one adds face wash and post-shave. The Baylis & Harding calendar is built around gourmand scents, which are sweet and food-like, and weighs 1.4 kg. Check the item list to see whether scents come as body sprays, shower gels or small perfumes.

Children’s and teenagers’ sets

Sets for younger girls use peel-off nail polish, nail stickers, sleep masks and hair clips, and weigh about 0.4 kg. Calendars for children of other kinds are under kids advent calendars, where the guide goes through the age labels.

How to compare a beauty advent calendar

  • Full size or mini: divide the price by 24, then check how many items are full size. A listing that says mini and full-size products gives a mix, not 24 full-size items.
  • Vegan and cruelty-free: some listings say so, such as W7 (cruelty-free) and Baylis & Harding (vegan friendly). It is the maker’s claim, so read the listing if it matters to you.
  • Skin and allergies: read the ingredient list for each product if the person has sensitive skin, and try new skincare on a small patch first.
  • Box size: a flat makeup calendar is about 36 x 30 cm and 3.7 cm deep, and the NIVEA boxes measure 44.7 x 14.4 x 28.7 cm, so check the space before you order.

Beyond beauty

If the person does not wear makeup, the advent calendar for women page starts with tea, puzzles, seeds and chocolate. For a man, the advent calendar for men page has socks, snacks and hobby kits. For a shortlist by product type, read best beauty advent calendars, and for more gift ideas see Christmas gifts for women. The main advent calendars page covers the other types.

Frequently asked questions: Beauty Advent Calendars

Are beauty advent calendars worth it?

They can be, if you would use most of what is inside. Divide the price by 24, then check how many items are full size, because minis and brushes take up doors too. The middle price in this collection is £33, or £1.37 a door.

Does Amazon have a beauty advent calendar?

Yes. This collection lists makeup, skincare, bath and grooming calendars sold on Amazon UK, from £9.50 to £115, from names such as W7, Revolution Beauty, NIVEA, Maybelline and Lynx. Stock and prices change daily, so check the listing before you order.

Which makeup advent calendar is considered the best?

No calendar wins on every point, so compare the item list, how many items are full size and the price per door. Ratings in this collection sit between 4.2 and 4.7 out of 5, which separates the calendars only a little. The best beauty advent calendars guide goes through makeup, skincare and fragrance.

What is the most expensive beauty advent calendar?

In this collection the highest price is £115 and the lowest is £9.50. Prestige calendars sold by department stores and beauty retailers can cost more than that, and this collection lists only what Amazon UK sells.

Is there a perfume or skincare advent calendar?

Skincare calendars are here: the NIVEA ones hold moisturisers, face masks, lip balms and body creams. For fragrance, a Baylis and Harding calendar is built around sweet gourmand scents. Read the item list to see whether the scents are perfumes, body sprays or bath products.

Are there beauty advent calendars for teenagers?

Yes. Some makeup calendars here are labelled for women, teens and girls together, and one set for younger girls uses peel-off nail polish and nail stickers. Read the product list rather than the label, and see the kids advent calendars for younger children.
