While beauty advent calendars can often times seem more like an investment than a treat, they certainly make the run up to Christmas more interesting, building up anticipation for the big day. I’ve found some of (in my opinion) the best beauty advent calendars of 2025. From the best value for money to the most luxurious, here are five advent calendars under £100 that won’t leave you wanting more, as well as three advent calendars under £200… probably out of budget for a student but still nice to fantasise about.
Beauty Advent Calendars under £100
Revolution Advent Calendar on ASOS
If you’re looking to branch out with your makeup collection and perhaps try something you wouldn’t normally, Revolution have you covered. This advent calendar delivers excellent value at an impressive 51% off the original total of the products included. It was originally £48.00 but now on ASOS it’s £31.80 for a short time!
Soap & Glory Advent Calendar Set at Boots
Previously £48.00, this £24.00 Soap & Glory advent calendar is packed with 24 travel-size body washes, moisturisers, skincare, and fragrances. For a December filled with self-care and relaxation, this calendar is certainly the right choice, featuring such a wide selection of beauty products, you can’t go wrong.
Boots Skincare Advent Calendar
With brands like The INKEY List, Cetaphil, Pixi and Bondi Sands, this advent calendar provides the widest range of products to try from fake tan and lip balm, to SPF moisturisers and cleansers. This option is a little bit pricier than the previous two at £65.00, but after unpacking this calendar you’ll have enough products to be a whole new you.
L’Occitane Advent Calendar at John Lewis
This calendar is the perfect gift for someone looking to level up their shower and bath routine, filled with shower gels, hand creams, body scrubs, lotions, and oils . With all this you’ll be protected against the new year’s cold weather. Although, smelling like a fancy almond comes at the high price of £68.00.
Liz Earle 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar at Boots
As a deluxe skincare brand, Liz Earle provides you with carefully picked products for the 12 days of Christmas. Although this calendar doesn’t span the whole of December, for £79.00 you can try 12 of their most popular products, 5 of which are full-size, including their famous Hot Cloth Cleanser.
Beauty Advent Calendars under £200
Bobbi Brown 12 Day Beauty Advent Calendar at John Lewis
For £160, Bobbi Brown will equip you with some of their best-selling products, 3 of which are full-size. From their Vitamin Enriched Face Base to their Cream Shadow Bronzing Stick, this is perfect for those wanting to include a few higher end makeup products in their routine. And, after testing all of this new makeup, it can be removed with their Soothing Cleansing Oil.
Charlotte Tilbury 12 Door Advent Calendar at Selfridges
In a darling heart shaped box, Charlotte Tilbury not only provides you with a selection of their stunning lipsticks, eyeliner, setting spray and an eyeshadow palette, but also a few skincare bits like their Lip Oil, Glow Toner, and their Magic Serum Crystal Elixir. It’s priced at £170 and available at Selfridges.
Estella Bartlett 12 Day Jewellery Advent Calendar
Although this is the most expensive calendar included here, it’s possibly the best value for money if you’re looking to invest in a range of new jewellery. Originally worth £375, this calendar is priced at £195 for a range of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. The best part? If you’re not a gold jewellery fan, they’ve got a silver version too.
