Winter is just around the corner, my friends—and you know what that means... It's about to be advent calendar season! Because who doesn't love receiving a gift every day for 25 days straight? And if you’re new to this (hi, welcome, hello) a beauty advent calendar is, as you’d guess, a calendar full of ~secret boxes~ with a new beauty product—a liquid eyeshadow, a primer, a cult-favorite mascara, who knows?—tucked inside for every day of the month.

So if you're shopping for a beauty lover who's obsessed with all things makeup and skincare... boy, do I got some goodies here for you! Presenting: The best makeup advent calendars filled to the brim with some of the most iconic products on the market. I'm talkin' classic bestsellers and even TikTok-viral gifts that have been flooding your FYP. (And you know that means it's good.)

No two advent calendars are the same. There are some for skincare, nail polish, perfumes, and some with a mix of everything. K, I want you to have a chance to snatch one before they sell out, so keep scrolling for nine of the very best beauty advent calendars available right now.

Run, don't walk: NET-A-PORTER's advent calendar is here and it's still available. IYKYK, the high-end retailer's beauty cal is known to sell out fast—which makes sense considering it's filled with some of this year's best-selling products. (Ahem, most of them are designer, FYI.) All I'm saying is, get it while you can...maybe snag two to be safe!
