It may be seasonal sacrilege to buy Christmas crackers pre-November, but ’tis the season for beauty advent calendars.

From Charlotte Tilbury and Lookfantastic to Harvey Nichols, M&S, Boots and Liberty, this year’s offerings are dropping thick and fast. Now, Sephora has joined the 2023 line-up with not one but three advent calendars that are too good to miss.

The flagship “favourites” calendar costs £189 and includes 36 products (23 are full-size), with a total worth of more than £1,000. From Rare Beauty and Sunday Riley to Medik8, Rose Inc, Living Proof and Elemis, the orange-hued box is packed with beauty stalwarts and brands exclusive to Sephora.

Meanwhile, the premium Sephora collection calendar costs £79.99 (the 24 goodies inside add up to £159), and the most affordable option, the Sephora “future is yours” calendar, will set you back just £49.99.

Last year, all three of the retailer’s calendars sold out (naturally). If you want to count down to Christmas with Sephora, the mega favourites calendar can be pre-ordered now, while the cheaper options are available to buy already. Here’s your full lowdown on Sephora’s advent calendars for 2023.

With 36 products inside Sephora’s calendar, you’re in for a treat (or two) every day in December. While the full line-up is still under wraps, the teaser list promises big things...

With 23 full-size formulas and an overall worth of more than £1,000, it’s safe to say the calendar offers value for money. From Rose Inc’s satin lip color lipstick (£22, Sephora.co.uk) , Glow Recipe’s watermelon glow niacinamide drops (£31.54, Sephora.co.uk) and Living Proof’s triple bond complex (£41.90, Sephora.co.uk) to a full-size Medik8’s hydr8 (£46.38, Sephora.co.uk), Sunday Riley’s niacinamide serum (£54, Sephora.co.uk) and Elemis’s crowd-pleasing pro-collagen cleansing balm (£45.50, Sephora.co.uk), you’re covered for skincare staples and party-ready make-up.

With a mix of cult formulas and brands exclusive to Sephora (think Vegamour and Tarte), the calendar is packaged in a warm-orange and cranberry-hued box, detailed with sparkly stars. A keepsake that will come in handy long after Christmas, as it doubles up as storage for make-up or jewellery.

Though launching officially on 31 October, you can now pre-order Sephora’s favourites beauty advent calendar, to avoid disappointment.
