Maybelline has announced their Maybelline Advent Calendars 2022. Maybelline Oh What A Magical Time! Advent Calendar 2022 Katie says: "Falling right between luxury and affordable, this is a beauty-lovers dream calendar. I'm struggling to find one product in this calendar that doesn't excite me. It has my go-to skincare brands: Drunk Elephant and Medik8, as well as Tarte Cosmetics (exclusive to Sephora), which I have been dying to try for as long as I can remember. Oh and it has Rare Beauty, which I have recently become obsessed with." Elegantly designed Christmas calendar with a wide range of make-up and beauty products, including 18 original items, 3 minis and 3 surprises While Shafer’s children prefer chocolate Advent calendars, he believes that the top-performing beauty Advent calendars cater to a wide variety of shoppers and blend products across categories—cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance. "I like the one from Diptyque, which has a mix of scent and skincare,” he shares.

Shannon says: "The thing that makes the Fortnum & Mason advent calendar for 2023 so great is the calibre of products inside. While a few of the calendars on this list include a lot of the same or similar products, this advent calendar showcases some of the luxury beauty space's most exclusive products. I'm talking Acqua di Parma body products, Wildsmith Skin skincare, La Bouche Rouge make-up and Kure Bazaar nail polish. With 30 products (22 of which are full size), it is perfectly curated and, frankly, I'm not sure I could have made a better edit myself." What’s Included: The 25 products offer firming, plumping, rehydrating, and glow-boosting benefits to the face and body. This year’s gifting landscape features a crop of chic, modern calendars to surprise anyone on your list. (Or make your countdown to December 25 that much more delightful.) For the beauty-obsessed, there are skin-care salves by Dr. Barbara Sturm or makeup from Charlotte Tilbury to add a party-ready glow to any regimen. Or, for gifts to recreate a mini spa day at home, you’ll find an advent calendar filled with divinely scented candles and bath products from Rituals . For French beauty lovers, YSL and Sisley-Paris both have calendars filled with a portable bazaar of their best-loved products. No matter what you choose, trust these will bring childlike wonder (or at least, radiant skin) to anyone who opens a door. When do advent calendars go on sale? Another candle advent calendar to add to the 2022 list and I’m so here for it. I’m obsessed with candles. This cute 6-piece holiday set is sure to start the holiday season right. Each candle is hand-poured and made from coconut-soy wax. Scents include Candy Cane, Rosebud, Cereal, Chocolate Orange, Mistletoe and Eggnog. The advent calendar is available now at Nordstrom.The UK’s leading beauty retailer has launched its annual Beauty Trends Report for 2023. The report reveals six trends Boots predicts will shape the world of beauty this year, from emerging social media trends due to go mainstream, to the evolution of scientific skincare, and the rise of the hybrid shopping experience. The launch follows a strong start to the year for Boots beauty aisles, with double-digit YOY growth across premium beauty, skincare, self-selection cosmetics and haircare.* Dr. Shafer says that beauty Advent calendars, in particular, are worth purchasing during the holiday season. "These are a great way to try different products you might not have normally seen or used,” he says. “The sample sizes also make great travel beauty items."

The best beauty Advent calendars include a mix of products that come in mini and full sizes, which will build upon a pre-existing beauty arsenal of your go-to products with some newness. Department stores will often share various brands in their Advent calendars, while brand-exclusive calendars will include different items from their collections. Trends that began in skincare are revolutionising the haircare category in 2023, from enhancing wash-day routines to advanced styling tools and personalised products. Shannon says: "I don't usually consider single-brand advent calendars diverse enough to put them on my tight edit of the best available, and I'll admit the saving on this calendar isn't as good as the multi-brand advent calendars that other retailers offer. However, this is perhaps the advent calendar I look forward to most year after year. The Body Shop is home to some of my all-time favourite bath and body products, and this advent calendar includes most of them, including the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter, a cleansing charcoal mask and a shea body butter. The products inside keep my bath and shower routine topped up virtually all year. Frankly, it just fills me with joy."
