published 25 August 2022

GO, GO, GO!

You're probably not even thinking about Christmas yet. And we don't blame you, it's still late summer. However, beauty advent calendars season has already begun. Ad trust us when we say that if you're looking to get your hands on one of the good 'uns, like the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2022, then it's best to get your order in ASAP.

It is hands down one of our all-time favourite calendars. The iconic beauty etailer stocks some of the finest beauty brands on the planet and that's reflected in its amazing calendars each year.

This year's offering is worth over £1000. Which is a huge amount of money. And considering you only pay £235 makes it a beauty bargain too. And guess what? You can already sign up to the waitlist, which means you will be one of the first to get access to it when it finally launches on the 3rd October.

Brimming with some of Cult Beauty's very best beauty buys – from make-up and skincare to haircare and even luxury candles - it's worth signing up now to ensure you don't miss out. Because ladies & gents, this is a calendar that doesn't stick around for long. Which, when you consider the number of products you're getting in return (we're talking tens of full-size luxury beauty favourites here) then it's an investment not to be missed.

What do we know so far?

How much is it?

£235

When is it available?

3rd October, but as we said sign up to the waitlist now to avoid disappointment

What's the packaging like?

This year's calendar is not your typical festive red and gold affair. It's a really modern take, adorned with pastel and primary colours and a swirl design. The calendar is once again made from cardboard, with the brand hoping that you will reuse it again in years to come.

Why do we think it's worth it?

Oh my goodness, where do we start? Obviously, the high value is definitely a huge selling point, but this year Cult Beauty have upped the ante in more ways than one. First of all, hidden inside three calendars are golden tickets worth a further £1000 to be spent on the site. Second of all, rather than just one special treat on the 25th, you'll find six glorious beauty products to enjoy on Christmas Day. And finally, they have partnered with two charities. The brand will donate £75,000 to Mental Health UK from the calendar proceeds. And for each calendar sold they will plant a tree in association with (more:trees).
