We might already be several days into December, but it's never too late to pick up a last-minute advent calendar. However, as beauty editors, we feel duty bound to let you know that many of the best beauty advent calendars for 2024 have now sold out, so you'll need to be quick if you're still yet to choose one to buy.

Despite the fact, as beauty editors, we feel as though there's advent calendar mania (is it just us, or does the fuss around advent calendars start earlier and earlier each year?), we can't deny the appeal of saving a whole load of money on some of beauty's best products. Whether you're in the market for the best fragrance, best mascara or the best moisturiser, a great beauty advent delivers it all. The problem? You just have to make sure you're shopping for one that's worth the money.

Take cross-brand options like LOOKFANTASTIC and Liberty as an example. They offer a careful curation of products from multiple brands, meaning they tend to be the best value for money. Let's face it, the best beauty advent calendars aren't cheap, and as the years have gone on, it has become harder to identify which ones are actually worth your money and time.

For starters, is the monetary saving really as good as it seems? Is every product in there something you can see yourself using? And, most importantly, is this specific calendar really offering the best of the best in beauty? There have also been countless social media scams advertising ridiculously cheap advent calendars, so you don't want to get caught out by a deal that really is too good to be true.

Well, we're here to help. As beauty editors, we have access to all of the information on the latest beauty advent calendars weeks (and sometimes months) before they launch, which means we can let you know as soon as they're available to shop, so you don't miss out on the savings.

With the beauty advent calendar 2024 season in full swing, you will want to be quick because the most popular advent calendars tend to sell out incredibly quickly. Case in point: the Harrods, Space NK, Cult Beauty and more advent calendars have completely sold out. With that in mind, here are the beauty advent calendars you can currently shop or sign up for that we'd actually buy this year.

Elemis creates some of our all-time favourite skincare around. Case in point: our Senior Beauty Editor Katie has used and loved the Pro-Collagen cleansing balm for 12 years (no exaggeration). So before even looking at the skincare advent calendar's contents, I know it's a good 'un. With '25 days of luxurious surprises' inside the colourful box, and a chance to win £1,000 worth of Elemis products if you find one of the 15 Golden Tickets, I predict this will sell fast. Wondering what's inside? Cult-status products like the Pro-collagen cleansing balm, Marine Cream and more. Yes please.

We all know that advent calendars have a bad rap for excess packaging, and we tend to only pick the most beautiful reusable boxes for this reason, but as far as reusable advent calendar packaging goes, L'OCCITANE has some of the best options on the market right now. Not only can you purchase this stunning reusable option which comes complete with a pocket-filled caddy made from recycled cotton, but if you want to reuse last year's model (extra brownie points to you), you can get the refill option at an even more affordable price. With bestselling products like the Almond Shower Oil and Ultra Rich Body cream included, it's set to be a stunner.
