Beauty advent calendars can make for a handy gifting resource during holiday season. Aside from making the ultimate gift, ou can break them into tiny Kris Kringles, or treat yourself. On that front, they’re also a great way to sample more of a brand you love. Do you adore the Pillow Talk Lip Liner but are unsure about Charlotte Tilbury’s skincare line? Grab its beauty advent calendar.

In retail, Christmas comes earlier every year. While a few brands begin releasing and teasing Christmas specials in September, most launches will hit shelves in October — including limited-run beauty advent calendars. 

Last year we saw advent calendars from Charlotte Tilbury, Adore Beauty, Jo Malone, L’Occitane, MECCA MAX, Diptique, Go-To Skincare, La Mer and YSL, to name a few. We’ll be keeping this list updated, so you can stock up before they sell out.

Below, find the waitlists to jump on right now, and the beauty advent calendars you can snap up early.
