As December draws ever closer, it’s almost time to start popping open the doors of an advent calendar. While many opt for the simple indulgence of chocolate, beauty advent calendars are becoming an increasingly popular way to count down to Christmas and gift oneself with more than just a sweet treat. Currently, Debenhams is selling its beauty advent calendar worth over £700 for just £127.50 , with 15% off its full price of £150. Filled with 37 products across 25 days — including 19 full-sized treats from some of beauty’s most coveted brands — this year’s edition might be the brand’s most stunning yet. Each morning in December, buyers can look forward to a small dose of luxury, from lustred MAC lipsticks to revitalising Decree facemasks. Other brands behind the doors include Estée Lauder, Philip Kingsley, Vida Glow, and KIKO Milano to name a few. It’s not just cosmetics up for grabs either, as each Debenhams beauty advent calendar includes an entry ticket into a MINI Cooper draw, with runners-up prizes including Debenhams vouchers and personalised beauty treatments. There are several other such calendars on the market. On the cheaper end, M&S is selling its 2025 beauty advent calendar for £60, containing £330 worth of products . The beautiful Bella Freud-designed box contains 25 cosmetics treats from brands like Percy & Reed, Emma Hardie, and Nuxe, and includes eight full-size products. A slightly more expensive option is the Boots 24 day premium beauty advent calendar for £150 , which the health and beauty retailer says is worth £462.50. An impressive 17 of its 25 products are full sizes, with brands including Too Faced, Laneige, Fenty, and Rituals. While official opening time is still a month away, several shoppers already love the Debenhams 2025 beauty advent calendar. One customer said: “Great product, amazing value, highly recommended.” Another added: “Best advent on the market. Been buying for years and never disappointed.” A third praised the delivery: “It’s the first time I’ve ordered this particular beauty calendar, but it arrived quickly. I’m not opening it until 1st December, but it looks well presented.” However, Trustpilot reviews indicate a few customers have had issues with receiving products from Debenhams. One commented as part of a longer review: “I've paid for an item and the expected delivery date has come and gone. "No updates, no customer service to contact. Incredibly frustrating.” This was echoed by another customer who, as part of a longer review, said: “Paid extra for two day delivery. Parcel didn’t arrive on time so requested a refund of shipping fee.” So, for those intending to buy the beauty advent calendar from Debenhams, it’s a good idea to get in early so it arrives in time for the big countdown. The Debenhams 2025 beauty advent calendar is available to buy for £127.50 .
