29 Best Beauty Advent Calendars of 2020

Christen Russo
ByChristen RussoOct 13, 2020 | 18 comments

If Advent Calendars strike you as a kids' tradition, wake up and smell the sheet mask essence—it's 2020, and beauty brands are going all out to treat skincare lovers, makeup addicts, and fans of an at-home pampering to boxes filled with beauty goodies! These daily-treasure-style beauty boxes have established popularity in the UK, and are gaining traction in the US where we're learning to treat ourselves more readily (it's about time). On top of making for great self-love booty, they serve as fantastic gifts—know as you shop around that some boxes feature slightly different US and UK versions. Our focus is on the US boxes, but scroll down to the bottom to see some of our UK-exclusive recs.

On this list, you'll find month-long options alongside 12-day offerings from some of your favorite cosmetics and skincare subscriptions (like Glossybox, Look Fantastic, and Macy's), as well as sought-after beauty brands for which a round-up is more of a rare treat (get ready for Benefit Cosmetics, L’Occitane, and ASOS).

But how will you choose? Okay, that one's entirely up to you, so pause for a moment to think what you might want from a beauty Advent Calendar—a new lipstick, eyeshadow, or liner to surprise you every day? A tour of cleansers, toners, and face oils? There's totally something for every beauty personality out there.

Okay, you're in, when can you get your hands on a 2020 beauty Advent Calendar? Oh-so-soon! Some beauty brands have already opened up pre-orders. Most go live for purchasing in October. We suggest getting your ducks in a row now and setting your calendar—a lot of these babies sell out fast.

Ready to explore your options? Scroll down—spoilers ahead!

Wondering what other types of Advent Calendars are out there? Allow us to show you!

Hi there, I'm Christen. I am all sorts of things:

🌳 a writer who loves to convey feeling

🌲 a mother who wants to have just as much fun as my kids do

🌳 an outdoors-lover who prioritizes spending time outside with my family

🌲 a low-maintenance self-carer

🌳 a general hungry person with an unstoppable sweet tooth

You'll find me collecting stationery and squirreling away stickers, riding bikes and swimming with my family, creating outfits in colors and silhouettes that make me feel amazing, wearing big earrings, drinking beer and asking my husband to feed me harmonies to sing, taking my vitamins, living for dancing to live music, roping everyone into a craft, being human and vulnerable, and celebrating the phenomenon of being alive.

...and doing it all with energy, delight, and jokes along the way.

Net-a-Porter is not on the list and it is high value. I was looking for a thread that Luna gave her evaluation of calendars cost vs value but couldn’t find it here. It would help if this post showed the still available calendars

All these small plastic bottles are giving me anxiety. I was just at Nordstrom yesterday and they have a recycling program so when you are done with your sample bottles please recycle.

They accept all except perfume, nail polish, nail polish remover, electronics, or full bottles of products.

If you don’t have a Nordstrom near you, you can try Terracycle. Mac and Kiehl’s have their own programs.

Thank you Vivian I feel the same exact way -there’s a floating mass of plastic bigger than Texas in our oceans & more are forming it’s so important to recycle PLEASE

I’m surprised that Seohora’s advent calendar is near the top of this list! It has been notoriously bad! This year’s does look more promising, but I don’t think that warrants it’s high rank. Ulta’s advent looks great and wasn’t even mentioned here.

The cult beauty calendar shouldn’t even be on this list considering it sold out in hours and would not be available for shipping to the United States after posting on Instagram that they would. Don’t give them any more advertisement.

Thanks for your feedback, Cara. Some of these calendars really do go so fast! I added this one to our small UK-only section at the bottom since some of our readers aren’t from the US, but we’ve updated it with a note that it’s now sold out.
