Beauty Advent Calendars

This weekend's roundup kicks off a few of my favorite 2024 gift ideas

Hello, Gorgeous!

I promise not to inundate you with a heavy load of gift guides (much as I love them). Instead, I’m carefully sharing products or experiences I think you might love. And who doesn’t love a fun or fabulous Advent calendar?

While Advent has deeply religious roots, Advent calendars have become a way of sharing lots of surprise gifties to keep or give to others.

Laneige Manifest Glow Advent Calendar

This one is going fast, but you can probably still find it at Kohl’s. While some Advent calendars are glitzier, this one filled me with glee and includes six full-size products and six minis. Lots of lip glowy and Lip Sleeping Mask along with face masks, skin creams and a Cream Skin toner & moisturizer which I’ve been dying to try forever. ($149, you should check Sephora stores though since it seems to be sold out online).

L’Occitane Classic Advent Calendar 2024

This one has a bonanza for a full 24 days of mini treats including Ultra Rich Body Cream, and Immortelle Divine Youth Cream. ($84, Sephora).

Augustinus Bader The 12 Days of Bader Advent Calendar

Oh, this one is fabulous. Gorgeous inky blue and pink gold design along with super luxe products including a single pack of The Eye Patches, Rich Cream and Serum. This one is definitely one of the pricier Advent calendars on the list, but a nice way to try out the (equally pricey) skincare brand. ($585, Sephora).

Luxy Precious Metals Hair Adornment Box

This one is fabulous if you have long hair/hair extensions or wear toppers or hair enhancements. You’ll find 12 days of silver and gold hair accessories that are seriously beautiful and will dress up any outfit this holiday season. The price is great too at $68 on Luxyhair.com.

MAC 24K Holiday Advent Calendar

I’m not even sure where to start on this one. At $225 for a $471 value, you’ll load up on 24 full-size MAC favorites along with a handful of minis. Making it even more tempting, there are new products debuting here. I gotta tell you, I really want this one! ($225 on Macccosmetics.com or in MAC stores).

Voluspa 12 Day Advent Calendar

This one will make a great hostess gift with 12 of their bestelling fragrances in generous votive size. Scents include Forbidden Fig, White Cypress, and Tahitian Coconut Vanilla (swoooon). ($75, Sephora).

Dermalogica The Advent Calendar 2024

I feel like every time I go to a new spa, the aesthetician raves about some Dermalogica product I absolutely must try. This 24-piece collection covers all bases will a few full size products and loads of minis. ($225, Amazon).

SeneGence 8-Days of Beauty

If you’re looking for long-lasting lip products, this is a no-brainer. There are also really cute nail polish minis including a super sparkly top coat. ($95, Senegence.com).

Are you a fan of Advent calendars AKA I-can-buy-all-the-products-at-once-for-a-fraction-of-the-price? Let’s discuss in the comments.
