’Tis the perfect time to spoil yourself (or a loved one), and these calendars are truly special. From Harrods to Look Fantastic, these are the piece de resistance of beauty calendars for Christmas 2025. Plus, a special round up of L360 underrated favourites.
Beautifect Beauty Escape Advent Calendar
Best for: Beauty tools and makeup brushes
As one of the brand’s most requested launches, we knew that the Beautifect calendar would be a big contender this year for the top spot — and it’s earned its position on this list. Elegantly designed and beautifully elevated, the reusable case is home to 10 full-size Beautifect bestsellers.
It makes a great alternative to other calendars, as the Beautifect box contains makeup tools in addition to products — think brushes, an eyelash curler, a blending sponge, tweezers and more. Ideal for those who need to refresh their makeup equipment, this calendar is just as practical as it is beautiful. £195.
Look Fantastic Beauty Advent Calendar
Best for: Top trending beauty products
If you’re looking for a calendar full of the best brands along with their most popular products, we would have to recommend this option from Look Fantastic.
There are 25 powerhouse makeup and skincare products behind these doors, from MAC and Color Wow to Sol de Janeiro and Medik8. We could go on for a while about all the iconic products in here (Elemis and ESPA are also included), but the truth is that you should try to snap this up before it sells out. Its worth over £600, and you can get it for just £105.

The Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar
Best for: Beauty-loving mums
I always thought calendars were limited to 25 products only — but Harrods has proved me wrong by fitting an incredible 32 beauty picks in its stunning hero calendar this year. It offers a top-tier selection of body care, fragrance, makeup and skincare products, and the box itself truly feels like the ultimate luxury gift. If you ask me, this is one to be opened on Christmas Day rather than in the run up to December 25th — it’s just too special to open before.
In terms of brands, all the luxury powerhouses are included in here — from La Mer and Augustinus Bader to Tatcha and 111Skin. £250.

P.Louise Cruising Home for Christmas Advent Calendar
Best for: Younger makeup lovers
A brand that began with a small following and a loan from the founder’s grandmother, P.Louise has since become a multimillion-pound beauty empire — with its first flagship store opening in Manchester’s Trafford Centre.
When this calendar arrived at the L360 team’s doorstep, all our mouths hung open for a good few seconds. To put it simply, it is colossal. The incredible, limited-edition calendar contains various vehicles that each house exclusive Christmas products.
From makeup goodies to skincare surprises, this calendar is really all a beauty-lover can dream of — and it makes a great gift either for the lead up to Christmas, or to unbox on December 25th. £250.

Best for: Self-care lovers
A treat for those who are never without a hand cream or body lotion, this calendar from the skincare powerhouse L’Occitane is a true treasure. Filled to the brim with delightful self-care products and wroth over £270, it makes a beautiful gift for those who need to spend some time taking care of themselves this New Year — from a pillow mist and cleansing oil to super-soft shower products and even fragrances.

Avant Wonders Advent Calendar
Best for: Natural skincare
Fusing natural and science-backed skincare, Avant is an award-winning brand that has seen its advent calendar sell out for three consecutive years — so we recommend snapping this one up before it’s too late.
2025 marks a whole new launch for Avant, with a first of its kind augmented reality experience that comes with the calendar. By simply scanning the cover, you’ll unlock a magical digital world complete with butterflies, bees and a fairy harvesting ingredients — bringing the natural beauty of the calendar to life.
In terms of the contents, you’ll find 12 full- and deluxe-size products, worth over £900. From facial serums and moisturisers to lip-plumping treatments and face masks — it’s a skincare-lover’s dream. £99.
Fortnum’s Beauty Advent Calendar
Best for: A whole beauty revamp
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention this star-studded calendar from Fortnum & Mason. With a total value of £1,149, it can only be deemed as a bargain to snap this up for £265.
Containing 26 items (23 full size), you’ll receive hard-to-find products from brands like Baobab, Charlotte Posner and Clive Christian. Of course, this is in addition to all your cult favourites from brands like Sol de Janeiro, Jo Malone and Cult51. It’s a true dream for lovers of all things beauty, as you can completely revamp your supply with this calendar alone — from new perfumes and makeup picks to wellness essentials like a wash bag, candle and luxury headband. £265.

24 Days of Kiehl’s Advent Calendar
Best for: Cult-favourite skincare
If you’re anything like us, Kiehl’s will likely have been on your radar for a while now. The brand’s creamy avocado eye cream is one of my personal favourite products — and it’s included in this year’s calendar! That’s along with a selection of incredible other products such as the Ultra Facial Cream, Deep Pore Cleansing Masque and Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash. £120.

Benefit Glam Cube Beauty Advent Calendar
Best for: Makeup essentials
For 2025, Benefit has put a fun, puzzle-themed spin on its calendar, with 24 pretty-in-pink products hidden inside. Each twist of the cube will reveal either a full, mini or fun-sized surprise, ranging from mascara and primer to highlighter and — my personal favourite — the Benefit Hoola bronzer.
It’s an ideal option for makeup lovers and those who want to revamp their beauty bag without having to decide which item is best for what. With this calendar, Benefit has solved that problem for you. £135.
