It feels odd to be declaring it that time of year again when it’s only September, but if you’re a beauty lover who enjoys counting down to Christmas via a curated edit of miniature products then you’ll already be aware that some of the best beauty advent calendars have already launched. And when it comes to ensuring you’ve got your mitts on your favourite for December 1st, you need to act fast. Yes, beauty advent calendars are hot property and the most covetable often fly off the shelves within days of launch. And if they haven’t launched yet? Trust me, they’ll have waiting lists of thousands of keen admirers.

However, while I love a beauty advent calendar as much as the next person, as a beauty editor I’m really passionate about great beauty products not breaking the bank. And some of these calendars cost hundreds to buy. I’m not saying they aren’t worth the investment (often the more expensive calendars boast impressive savings and give you the chance to try premium brands that you wouldn’t usually) but Christmas is an expensive time of year.. So this year I’ve made it my mission to find the best affordable beauty advent calendars on the market right now. You’ll still get the same buzz of opening up a fabulous beauty product each morning, but you won’t have to work overtime to afford the thrill.

Luckily, this year has really delivered and there is a wonderful selection of affordable beauty advent calendars costing £100 or less. From skincare-dedicated countdowns (hello, Liz Earle) to impressive assortments of iconic makeup, hair and body products from your favourite retailers, I’m sure you’ll find something to mark the festive season in style on the comprehensive list ahead…
