24 Best Beauty Advent Calendars 2021

Sephora, World Market

We may be going a bit overboard here, but beauty advent calendars might just be our favorite advent calendars of all. Why? Because there’s absolutely no better time to treat yourself than the holiday season. You’re busy buying all the gifts, decorating the house, and planning the Christmas dinner menu that sometimes you forget to take a single second to relax before the day is over. You know who else feels the exact same way as you? Your best friend. Your mom. Your mother in law. Your kid’s teacher. Beauty advent calendars are wonderful because they basically force you to take a single minute every day to think about yourself during the craziest time of the year. What’s better than going into the new year with a self-care mindset? Not much.

The good news: The options are endless when it comes to beauty advent countdowns. If lighting a candle and reading a book is your idea of self care, then you’ll find more than one advent calendar you love here. Or do you prefer trying on a new lip gloss to feel ready to tackle the day? We’ve got you covered. We even included inexpensive options to gift the budding beauty gurus in your life!

Trust us, order one now. Your future self will thank you.
