12 Best Beauty Advent Calendars To Give Away (Or Keep To Yourself) This Holiday

by Lindsay E. Mack

If your makeup collection is just never complete, then there's a trending gift you're sure to love. The best beauty advent calendars of 2018 give you the chance to try out new products all month long. Because if there's something every beauty addict needs, it's the excuse to enjoy new products every dang day.

Based on the traditional advent calendars, which count down the days until Christmas, these beautified versions offer a dozen or more beauty products in each set. The idea is that you can open up a new eyeshadow or lip balm every day until the holidays. It's a fun twist on an old holiday tradition. Really, the only downside will be trying to restrain yourself from opening every box as soon as you get the calendar. Self-discipline can be tough.

So whether you're looking for holiday gifts or a little something for yourself, these advent calendars are a clever way to test out a ton of different products all throughout December. Plus, there's a niche for every beauty guru's taste. Calendars that specialise in perfumes, nail polishes, and skin care are also available. But probably the most fun calendars are the ones filled with shimmery, sparkly, glittery goods that are perfect for lighting up the long winter season.
